Hello there!
17 years L2 player veteran here.
Long story short, I wanted to create a server and fiddle around with it, possibly turning it into an actual game server. Last time i made a server was 10 years ago, and it had way different requirements and setups that needed to be done.
I started using the provided guide, all fine and dandy, however..
Just at the #7 where's written " Click on the "X" button next to MySQL." - There's no X. Just "start". But, it did launch.
However, next step is where it gets kinky.
#8 step - Use "Database_Installer_GS.exe" to install the gameserver database. As soon as I open that window, and attempt to run it, it says that It cannot find database. Ofc, I figure that you still need some kind of DB manager like navicat. But this one asks for maria-db. Well i found Maria, but there are several options to choose from (java7, java8/etc). Which one is correct one and is it possible to update the guide with setting up database manager and connector as well? That would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I love the things you've done here guys! I may even start contributing too!
