Getting Started

Alright, so i just picked up my copy of the server (Censerver), Also got me a copy of CentrED.
Installed the copy of CentrED and then also placed the Censerver inside my install directory.
I Created a folder inside the directory as well with the name of the map i would like to start editing on.
I placed the files necessary to begin that process inside the folder i created previously.
I go ahead and start up censerver.exe.
It brings me to a configuration Cmd Pompt.
I fill it out accordingly (several times).
P.S. i even tired leveling the Port and Map Sizes blank for default settings by pressing enter and moving to the next question in the configuration.
So after thats all filled out my problem begins, It exits Cmd Pompt window and i check my processes list and nothing is running for Cedserver.exe.
I try to login using CentrED.exe (Client) and nothing but a connection error. Default port (2907).

If this isn't enough posted for help. i can provide screen shots.

Thanks,
Joey.

Please refer to the thread ".bat file" in this forum and use this file to start the cedserver. (It has  to be in the same directory as cedserver.exe).
Then you should be able to see what error messages it gives.

Alright, the *.dat file worked great, exactly what i was looking for.
Now the issue i was having was not having the file name after the path.
Now i have an issue with the map size? using a fresh UOML install, now i'm not sure how to check the size of the map0.mul file any suggestions?
Or a reference?

Thanks in advance.

Theres a well done maptool there.
I suggest if you had the same problems as me above you create yourself a batch file for the maptool as well.
Just create a new text document and then put the following code in it.

Code Select Expand

cmd /k maptool.exe

basically this code does the following:
The Batch file reads and excutes what you put inside the text document which you will save as a batch file and it will inherit the *.bat file extention,
Reading the code: cmd for command prompt and then /k reads the *.exe file that comes next maptool.exe and then excutes it. The CMD window remains afterward instead of closing itself.

After that, do File > Save As
Select All Files instead of *.txt
And then just name the file RunMapTool.Bat

That link was a really good idea... it just isn't there any longer.  I have client 6.X installed on my server, I am guessing that the map0.mul default dimensions are wrong because the server shuts down every time.
