How to make a private server

How to make a server
The only Chapter which is a little bit difficult for some people is the No-IP part or Port Forwarding.
Other parts are easy enough for everyone.
Do NOT use this on any other site without permission.
Please do NOT send a private message with a question about this guide to me, I will simply ignore it, I receive too many PMs about this.!

Chapter 2
Downloading and Installing No-IP

You can download No-IP from the official site.
Go to the official site by clicking [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
Click on the register tab and register an account.
If you are there click the Downloads tab.
Now you will have a page with something like this.


In this tutorial I will teach everything for windows.
So click on Windows.
Now click on the link/image to download.com and you can download and install it through that page.

Once you installed No-IP you will have a button on your desktop to run it.
Run it and your No-IP will open.
It will look like this.



On the bottom you see I made one part a little bit red with a low opacity.
Click the 'Here' to add a new IP.
Let the page load and you will see this button somewhere.

Click on it to add an IP.
This page will have 2 Fields.
Hostname information and E-Mail settings.
Just ignore the E-Mail field.
The Hostname field will look like this.


At the first text field fill in your server name.
Click on the image to view the list of domains you can choose, or if your already on that real page you can see it also.
The Ip Address part will auto change to your IP, do not change it.
Once you're done click 'Create Host' at the bottom and click the 'Refresh' at the No-IP Menu on your computer.

Chapter 3
Getting a client

To play a server you will need a client.
You can make your own client but for newcomers it is not very helpful.
So I will advise you to download the Moparscape client.
You can download it through [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] page.
Just run the file you've downloaded and your installation will start.
More information on this thread:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]


Using older versions will close the window.
It is not a bug.

Chapter 4
Opening 43594 (Default Port)

Open Network & Internet Connections. Right click on the connection you're using to connect to the internet and click properties. Open the Advanced tab and click on firewall settings. Open the Exceptions tab and at the bottom you should see a button "Add Port".
Click on it, and add your server name or whatever you want it to be at the Name field.
At the Port number fill in 43594.
And make sure the TCP box has been checked.

Chapter 5
Port forwarding (Router Users, Using Linksys)
You don't use linksys? Find your router at
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
and follow the tutorial.

Open your cmd by going to Start > Run > cmd.
Type in `ipconfig?
It will say your default gateway.


Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the gateway in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.1.1.


You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is blank, and the password is admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.


Click the Applications & Gaming link near the top of the page.
The menu under that should change. In this new menu, click Port Range Forwarding.

When you're finished, click Save Settings near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.
Example:
Application Name: RSPS
Start - End Port: 43594-43594 (Change to which ports to want to enable)
Protocol: Both
To IP Address: Your IP at Start > Run > Cmd > ipconfig
Enabled: Checked/Yes

Chapter 6
Getting a source

To make your own server you need a source.
The best and easy way is by downloading it from the Download section.
But be watch out! Some sources contain trojans, keyloggers and such things.

Once you downloaded it you can start editing the source.
The most things you need to edit are in client.java.
Open it and Press Ctrl + H.
In the first field fill in the source's server name.
In the second field fill in the name of your server.
Now press replace all.

Under "User Variables" click "New".



Name it "CLASSPATH" and for the "Variable Value" (only if you have JDK 6u1) put this in: CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\bin;%CLASSPATH%; If you have JDK 6u2, you must enter CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin;%CLASSPATH%; for the variable value.

Under "User Variables" click "New".



Name it "PATH" and for the "Variable Value" (only if you have JDK 6u1) put this in: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\bin If you have JDK 6u2, you must enter C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin for the variable value.

Server edits

Making yourself an admin
Testscape & Many other sources

Go into client.java.
Press Ctrl + F.
And fill in this.

Code:
//start of moderator/admin list, 1 = mod, 2 = staff, 3 = admin
Under that you will see something like this for example.

Code:
if (playerName.equalsIgnoreCase("admin"))
{
playerRights = 3;
}
If you look at it instead of just directly editing it and not learning something you know what this is.
Its just like 'If the name of the player is: admin give him playerrights 3 (Owner rights)'
Player Rights 3 = Server Owner
Player Rights 2 = Server Admin
Player Rights 1 = Server Player Moderator
NOTE: In some basic sources like testscape the server owners can't see their own crown.
Don't be affraid, other people can see it!

In JorsaScape (Pimpscape) based servers you can just open the datafolder and admins/administrators/staff.txt and add a new player to it.
I don't know the file name really since many Jorsa/Pimpscape based sources are changing the file name.

Adding NPC's
To add NPC's you work in autospawn.cfg
Open it and you will see many things looking like eachother.
Now add this somewhere

Code:
spawn = NpcID CoordX CoordY 0 0 0 0 0 2 NPC Name
Change NpcID to the ID of the npc.
Change CoordX and CoordY to the coords where you want the npc to be.
If you don't know how to get the coords press F4 (Moparscape client).
Also, no your not a ub3r good coder when you made a command or added a npc.




Compiling
After every update in the .java files you have to compile it.
Compiling will make .class files off them and your server runs on them.
For just an easy compiler make a new text file with notepad.
Add this to it:

Code:
@echo off
title Server Compiler
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\javac.exe" -cp . *.java
pause
Click Save as...
And change file type to 'All Files' and name it compile.bat
Now when running the compile.bat you will compile your server.




Running the server
To run the server you just run 'Run.bat' or however it is called in your source.
I can't give you an code for it because some sources have different folders to save the class files in.
Make sure your No-IP is running!



Questions, Answers on them are allowed.
Corrections are also welcome.

Note: Please do NOT pm me with questions about this guide.
This guide explains enough.

Chapter 9 - Checking server status

Click [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for a status checker.

Also if you want an automatic updating status image.
You can use this



Code:

#### == The IP of your server

I find that unlikely. First, check the spelling. On this forum, he uses internet slang, but on the Moparscape forum, he spells more english like. Second, if it really was him, then he'd at least fix the links in the guide. Press the link on any chapter in the start. It leads to moparscape forums. Third, if he really made it, then in the end of the post would at least not have internet slang, and caps. At least, i believe this guy does not have ownership over this guide.
