Guide How To Connect 2 Gameservers To 1 Loginserver Using 2 Different Pc's

[Deamnd]

Well with this guide i will explain you how to connect 2 gameservers together using 2 computers with different IP's, using the Lineage II Interlude Client (L2J)
A router is not used in this tutorial
We will assume the databases are set up for the gameservers and the loginservers on both computers, and you have Navicat installed
The first PC will be used as both the loginserver and one of the two gameservers
The second computer will host the second gameserver, and use the loginserver of the first computer
We will call the computer that will host the loginserver the LOGIN PC
The other computer will be called the NONLOGIN PC

 

Lets start

 

 

Step 1.

On 1st step we will register servernames of LOGIN PC only.

 

Open serverfiles, then go to \loginserver\dist\
Run RegisterGameServer.bat
Type clean, then hit enter
Run RegisterGameServer.bat again, and enter the number of the servername you wish to use for your gameserver
Run RegisterGameServer.bat yet again, and enter the number of the servername you wish to use for the NONLOGIN PC gameserver

 

Step 2.

On 2ond step we will preparing hexid's of LOGIN PC only.

 

When you are finished STEP 1, you will have 2 files.
hexid(server X).txt
hexid(server Y).txt
X is the first number you entered. (LOGIN PC)
Y is the second number you entered. (NONLOGIN PC)
Each file should be renamed to hexid.txt AFTER being moved to the correct PC. On each PC, there must be a copy of the hexid.txt file in these 2 folders:
\loginserver\dist\ folder of your server files
\gameserver\config\ folder of your server files
Since you cannot name both hexid(server) files to just *hexid.txt* at the same time on one computer, rename the one that belongs on the LOGIN PC first. Then, MOVE the other *hexid(server)* file to the NONLOGIN PC, rename it to hexid.txt then make sure it is in these 2 folders:
\loginserver\dist\ folder of your server files
\gameserver\config\ folder of your server files

 

Step 3.

On 3rd step we will change server_id's in Navicat of LOGIN PC only.

 

After completing STEP 1 and STEP 2, you will need to change 2 numbers in Navicat to the correct server numbers. (The ones that you entered in RegisterGameServer.bat in STEP 1)
NOTE:
For some reason, when you register a gameserver (choose it's name with a number), it isn't entered into MySQL (Navicat) correctly.
Open Navicat
Open on the "gameservers" table
Under the "server_id" column, change the first number to the number that you entered in STEP 1 (when you registered the gameservers) and the number BELOW that to the second number you entered in STEP 1
Click the checkmark at the bottom of the screen, then close the table, then close Navicat

 

 

Step 4.

On 4th step we will edit server.properties of LOGIN PC only.

 

On the LOGIN PC, open server.properties from the \gameserver\dist\config\ folder of your server files
Change the following sections in your file to match the following format:
GameserverHostname=LOGIN PC WAN IP
ExternalHostname=LOGIN PC WAN IP
InternalHostname=127.0.0.1
LoginHost=LOGIN PC WAN IP
RequestServerID = XX
NOTE:
XX must be the FIRST number you entered in STEP 1 (when you registered the gameservers)

 

Step 5.

On 5th step we will edit loginserver.properties of LOGIN PC only.

 

On the LOGIN PC, open loginserver.properties from the \loginserver\dist\config\ folder of your server files
Change the following sections in your file to match the following format:
LoginServerHostname=LOGIN PC WAN IP
LoginHostname=LOGIN PC WAN IP
AcceptNewGameServer = True

 

Step 6.

On 6th step we will edit server.properties of NONLOGIN PC only.

 

On the NONLOGIN PC, open server.properties from the \gameserver\dist\config\ folder of your server files
Change the following sections in your file to match the following format:
GameserverHostname=0.0.0.0
ExternalHostname=NONLOGIN PC WAN IP
InternalHostname=127.0.0.1
LoginHost=LOGIN PC WAN IP
RequestServerID = YY
NOTE:
YY must be the SECOND number you entered in STEP 1 (when you registered the gameservers)

 

Step 7.

On 7th step we will edit l2ini of LOGIN PC + NONLOGIN PC

 

In the patch or client that you distribute, you need a decrypting tool such as L2FileEdit.exe that allows you to edit your l2.ini file
l2.ini can be found in the \system\ folder of your client files
Change the following sections in your file to match the following format:
Port=2106
ServerAddr=LOGIN PC WAN IP
After this is complete, you have to encrypt the file again for it to work properly

 

After Step 7. you are ready to enjoy!

...................how to do this on the same PC I won't to game servers 2 1 login server

 

the only think you have to do is to copy your gameserver folder and rename it to gameserver2 for example and copy it inside on your server files!

then register 2 game servers you will put the 1st server hexid inside the gameserver/config and the 2nd server hexid inside the gameserver2/config and that's all..

you can set up rates/feautures etc from your gameserver files and you can make w/e servers you want!

Hi!

 

I'd have agameserver and gameserver2 folder.

Both registered and hexid put in the correct folder.

Login run and one server, but 2nd is Down.

And also have problem with DB, i cant see any of characters from the 1st (old) server.

 

I need to create 2 new DB or just 1?
