Here's the latest binaries for the server (This post updated on a semi-regular basis...)

Login Server (SQL version) @ https://www.pioneer2.net/spsos_login_v.047.zip (Missing pso_server.sql file is now present... sorry about that.)
Login Server (.DAT version) @ https://www.pioneer2.net/spsos_login_v.048_nosql.zip
Ship Server @ https://www.pioneer2.net/spsos_ship_v.143.zip

Old version archive @ https://www.pioneer2.net/archive/

Both of these are a lot newer than the compiled code you get from the last source code release.

See the individual notes inside of each archive for details.

I'm not going to cover setting up a ship, since most people should know that already. For those who need instructions on how to set up the login server, you basically do this:

1. If using the .DAT version, skip to step 6.

2. Install MySQL on a machine. Whether it be Linux/Unix/Windows or whatever, it needs to have MySQL running on it from an accessible port. (For security reasons, you really should have the login server and MySQL server running either on the same machine or AT LEAST on the same network... don't access a MySQL server from the internet...)

3. Add a new MySQL user (don't use root as that'd be noob)

4. Create a new database and import the tables from sql\pso_server.sql into the database.

5. Give the new MySQL user permission to read, write and delete from these tables. Also give the MySQL user access to the MySQL server through whatever host it's going to use.

6. Configure the login_server parameters by editing the tethealla.ini at ini\tethealla.ini Once done with that, copy the tethealla.ini from the ini folders into the same folder as login_server.exe and account_add.exe

7. Run account_add.exe and add the first account. (This account will, by default, be granted global GM as it's the first account on the server...)

8. Run make_key.exe to generate your first ship's key binary file. (This will also import the key into the SQL table with the appropriate index ID...)

9. The ship_key.bin file generated by make_key.exe should be copied into the folder of your first ship's ship_server.exe

10. Edit the welcome.txt in the ini folder then copy it into the same folder as patch_server.exe

11. Run patch_server.exe

12. Run login_server.exe

13. Run ship_server.exe, all should be well. (Provided you already did all the appropriate configuration of ship.ini to connect to the new login_server)

14. Download the unpacked PSOBB executables and hex edit in your IP address.

https://www.pioneer2.net/TethExes010710.zip for the executables for both Vista and XP.

15. Distribute modified EXE to all of your connecting clients.

16. Make sure you've opened up port 11000, 11001, 12000 and 12001 for your login server on your router or firewall.

17. Make sure you've opened ports 5278, 5279, and 5279+the number of blocks you're hosting in succesion on your router or firewall.

18. Have clients connect!

.. Hopefully I didn't miss a step.

The .DAT version of the login server has a hardcoded limit of 2,000 accounts. I didn't code any checking but if you attempt to exceed that number of created accounts, the program will crash. (Because I forgot to add in a check for that.. :D)

I'll probably remove the limit later.

If you're serious about setting up any sort of heavy traffic server, you should definitely be using the SQL version (IMHO).

am thinking about just removing the SVN, since it doesn't appear anyone uses it for anything else but downloading the source. =P (Well, with the exception of Jon Wayne that one time...)

Ha. I'll be using it again, once I get moved. Just been busy. I'll be contributing a lot more once things calm down. ha.

I'm not worked up about it, really.

Just hasn't been a lot of dev work from others, though I appreciate your work on the local GM thing.

It'll most likely just go to a weekly release of the source or something, though.

Followed it step by step and all is well!

Is this ship_key (or w/e it was) the ship lockout thing (ie if no key then the ship can't connect)?

Basically, yes.

You generate keys for every ship you want to connect on your gate. They're automatically added to the SQL server, you just need to distribute each ship_key.bin to the ship owners.

ship_server.exe won't start without a ship_key.bin

If a ship connects with a ship_key.bin which isn't in your database, the login_server will reject them from joining your ship list.

Also, a key in use cannot be used more than once.

There will be some additional changes to that, like adding hardware info on it, but as it stands right now... if you give someone a ship_key.bin and they distribute it to someone else, that person can also run a ship on your gate... but only if the other ship is down. (Two ships can't be running simultaneously with the same key...)

If a key gets leaked and someone keeps preventing a ship from joining the gate because they're hording the key, you can always delete that key from your table and generate a new key for that person. (Though people shouldn't be giving out their ship_key.bin anyway... so it's whatever...)

Double Postz0rz!

If you try and use "add_account.exe" and "make_key.exe" you'll get an error saying the config file is missing, do either one of 2 things:

1. Move both add_account.exe and make_key.exe" into the same folder as login_server.exe
OR
2. Move a copy of "tethealla.ini" into the "other" folder

Whichever you want.

I know this seems obvious but there'll be some people who won't have a clue!

I can't seem to get my ship to connect to my login server, even after generating the key and placing it in my ship's folder.

Also checked the SQL database and the key was successfully registered in there, too.

Nothing changed aside from updating both servers and generating/adding the key. Everything was working fine before.

Welp, try trashing your table, making a new key then making sure you copy that key into your ship's folder immediately.

It should work fine, I've tested it.

EDIT: Pfft. I'm officially a programming retard. I compiled the old source over the binary. Go me.

A quick re-extract fixed things of course.

ProTip: It's called binary and not source for a reason.

Anyway: *Gets killed by soda* For those people who don't want to play/test in Tethealla T.T and don't want (because they are lazy, stupid etc) I'll be leaving Sylvarant as a login server, so anyone who wants to put their ship in there just bump me via Pm, and i'll gib you a Ship key / Account ;P

I'll personally stay in Thethe....Need...to...beat...anh....(You turned it epic Lee)

New version of login already...

https://www.pioneer2.net/spsos_login_v.006.zip

Quote:

version 0.006 8/26/2008
-----------------------
- Changed order of operations during ship registration to try to connect
to the ship as the last thing to do. (Prevents ships with bad encryption
and so on from lagging up the login process...)
- Now displays key index of registering ship.
- Now gets the maximum number of keys from the SQL table and will ignore
all other indexes higher than this range.

version 0.005 8/26/2008
-----------------------
- Initial public release

There was some faggot trying to register a ship repeatedly and it kept making the login server try the connection test on him before it checked his key data.

That's why the connection test is the last check now before authenticating a ship.

And PHP file? I'm guessing you're trying to be cute because you said C and PHP look similar... so you must be meaning the source.

NOT YET

He probably didn't execute the commands in pso_server.sql right to even build the database.

Found a small bug.

Just posted the new version of ship to correct it. (See top post...)

Quote:

version 0.039 8/26/2008
-----------------------
- Fixed a bug with loading the wrong maps for Seabed 1 & 2 for one
person mode.

This version will need to be used if anyone plans to play a non-quest run of Episode 2 in One Person. Otherwise you'll get the wrong experience and also disconnected at the bosses.
