How to make and edit your private server [BASIC & NOOB FRIENDLY]

What you will need:

How make your private server:

Making a private server takes will and effort to learn. If you are not willing to learn, and put in the effort to make and run a successful private server you shouldn't be making one in the first place. Basically, you will need more then 10 minutes to make one.
There are many tutorials out on MPGH on how to make a private server, follow Owlupus's MMOEmpire Private Server Setup Tutorial

How to edit your private server:

Editing your private server can be frustrating and confusing. So I will teach you the basics of what to do to edit the most basic things.

First of all you will need to have downloaded private server files and SharpDevelop 4.3, then you want to open up SharpDevelop 4.3 and click File > Open> File...
Then go to your private server files and search for server.sln, once you have found the path copypaste it into the file select dialog on SharpDevelop 4.3 and then you have successfully setup SharpDevelop 4.3 with your private server.
Now editing your private server is only a few clicks away, but you may be asking how do I edit such and such? In SharpDevelop 4.3 on the left side there is a bar called Projects, open Solution server and you will see a bunch of different folders.
I will be explaining how to edit the DNS and realms of your private server in this tutorial, if you want to learn other things scroll down and I will have a list of tutorials.

Navigate to 'server > char > list.cs and double click it, then list.cs should appear. Scroll down in the file and you should find this:

Code:

Servers = new List<ServerItem>()
                    {
                        new ServerItem()
                        {

Below that will be your servers, delete all the rest except for the one at the top.
Your one server should look like this:

Code:

new ServerItem()
                        {
                            Name = "Example Name",
                            Lat = 22.28,
                            Long = 114.16,
                            DNS = "Example DNS",
                            Usage = 0.2,
                            AdminOnly = false
                        }

Now I will be explaining things very simply.
Name = "" is the name of the server e.g. USWest
Lat = and Long = are the latitude and longitude that the client will connect to if it is selecting Best Server, if you only have 1 server it wont matter and they will automatically connect to the one server you have.
DNS = "" is the DNS, here you will insert your Hamachi IPv4 address if you are using Hamachi, or your routers IP address if you port forwarded
Usage = should always be 0.2. If you set it to 1 the server will act as if it was full and you wont be able to connect.
AdminOnly = is self explanatory, make sure to have at LEAST one AdminOnly = false server for your players!

How to make yourself admin:

In order to do this you need heidiSQL
Open up heidiSQL and login to your MySQL.
Expand the rotmg folder and then double click accounts
Go on the Data tab
There you will see the Username, Password, Name of Character, and much other stuff.
Change admin to 1 on the accounts you want to have admin on!

Okay, I got a question, everything is working fine, but I don't have admin rights, I can't spawn/give things, any small tutorial to Add admins?

Added a tutorial on how to do that!

Wrong section.
This goes in Tutorials & Source Code. @Hux

ahahahh... :/ Sorry

Not sure if this is still active, but I'm getting an error when I try to start "server.exe"

Code:

Unhandled Exception: System.Net.HttpListenerException: The process cannot access 
the file because it is being used by another process
	at System.Net.HttpListener.AddAllPrefixes()
	at System.Net.HttpListener.Start()
	at server.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\rotmg\svr-master\server\Program.cs:line 26

I see that it says it's already in use... but I don't know by what...
Any suggestions? Or is there something else causing it?

Thank you, ~Aixprod

Just to be more clear... I'm getting this error in my console:

Code:

System.NullRefrenceException: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object.
at server.account.purchaseCHarSlot.HandleRequest(HttpListenerContext context)
in C:\rotmg_svr-master\server\account\purchaseCharSlot.cs:line 37
at server.Program.ProcessRequest(HttpListenerContext context) 
in C:\rotmg_svr-master\server\Program.cs:line 103

Since this was made i might as well say, When i swap the names of the servers/delete some they aren't the same as the client. I know most might have gotten this but i am just an idiot if its simple fix :P Help.

Yeah, I had the same problem... But I just clicked compile (The green arrow button) in SharpDevelop...
Not sure if the server has to be closed (mine was during that)

This is totally wrong because all rights of the server goes to Nano.

Nano stopped working on that 2 months ago. @Botmaker published the files. @Drowlys published his own release, @Owlupus does tutorials, @Alde. is sexy and I am the actual main developer for the open source server code. Also there isn't any reference to Nano in the original files that were leaked, just to a guy called "K". We are assuming Nano did that as the files were leaked from MMOE and he was working on a pserver for MMOE.

Anyways this server and such code is pre-Kabèm.

I've changed the client IP to my hamachi IP and I have my server up and running... but still my friend couldn't connect...

Is there any other place where the IP has to be changed.
