now how to get these running (verry basic guide):
- first you install ms sql with mixed authentication mode so you have a login/pass for it
- you need to enter the login/pass in the dbsrc.ini and the !setup.txt file
- you create 2 databases in ms sql (using enterprise manager)
- you recover my mir2_chardb and mir2_datadb files into these 2 db's, chardb is used by dbserver and datadb by m2server so you link each of these in the apropriate(hope i spelled this right
) setup/ini file
- you'll prob have to edit some ip's like with other mir servers
- you might get errors about missing npc's/maps just delete the related npc's/maps in the ms sql db tables
- you'll have to read updates.doc to get a list of all the edits you have to do to the database, since i dont update my database every release
- you cant combine several different release versions gotta have all server + client exes from same release
hope ths pretty much helps (there are probably better guides outthere but i cant link to other forums
)
