SO downloading the server (?) will let me do what ryanbridgers did? I'm still a little confused on this project.

Liberations · Jan 19, 2008, 09:29 PM // 21:29

Ok well I downloaded the rar file and unzipped it via 7z, and I got 4 folders inside the main folder: ServerRelease.

AdminCon, FileServ, GameServ, and LoginServ. Will any of the contents of any of these servers allow me to open up GWLP? Any help is appreciated.

This guide is from Emupedia...it should help you solve your problems.
Anything in bold is a note from me.

Now you will need a fully updated Guild Wars. That means -image it

Now visit GWLP's Development site here: hxxp://gwlp.origo.ethz.ch and download their latest GWLP Client Utilities at the "Download" section.
Install them and run the GWLP Update to update it to the latest GWLP version.

Now back to your server files you extracted earlier.
As you might know, these server files use a MySQL Database as many other servers do.
I personally like to use Xampp together with SQLyog. Just google them.
Xampp comes with MySQL and Apache in one, SQLyog is a mysql-browsing program, to easilly maintain your databases.
So get your mysql working and install sqlyog.
Connect to your database (located @ localhost) username is root and password is usually blank (means there's no password, so don't fill in "blank" ><)

Now inside your mysql server, create a database called for example "gwlp".
Now you want to restore the database backup to your gwlp database.
So rightclick the database and use Restore database from SQL Dump or something similiar.
Browse to your server files and select your gwlp.sql and execute the backup.
This should restore the needed data (Also do this for zones.sql)

MySQL is now set up and not needed to do anything with it anymore.

Now go to your server files.
The directories you will need to use are LoginServ and GameServ.
FileServ is the update server and i recommend not to use that for now, only if you know what you're doing.

Inside LoginServ and GameServ there are maps called "Config" with a config file in it.
Open those config files and edit the IP's to "127.0.0.1" for testing.
Also make sure your database settings are correct

Now if you did everything correctly you should be able to start up your server by executing LoginServ.exe followed by GameServ.exe

If you, however, get any errors, try to look into the error and see if you can figure out what's the problem. If you can't feel free to post the error here and i will try to help you out.

Ok, so your server is online, Congratulations!
Now we need to get your client to connect!

Go to your Start menu > Programs > GWLP > Configure GWLP.
Server IP: 127.0.0.1
LSP: 8112
GSP: 9112

Now when you use "Play" in your GWLP dir in the start menu your guild wars should be launching and most likely be stuck on "Downloading 0kb (0kb/s)"

The reason its stuck here is because your Login Server's packets aren't the same as your client's packets.

To make sure the login server's NoUpdateAvailable file (which stores the packets) is the same as your client's file, read this PDF file (posted by Novo, credits go to him) hxxp://takeo.extra.hu/Guildwars Emulator GWLP/UpdateTutorial.pdf

When you did that re-launch your server and try connecting, it should just work if you did it correctly.
Now you can create your own account with the CD key PPPPP-PPPPP-PPPPP-PPPPP-PPPPP (No, this one doesn't work on official servers :P)
It will say it unlocks 4 additional character slots, and that's correct. Once you login it will most likely show you have no right to play Guild Wars.

So quit your GW Client.
Go to Start Menu > Programs > GWLP > Authorize
Once started up, start up your official Guild Wars Client and login to your original account. Once logged in your client will close and your GWLP client gathered the data of your account to see which parts of the game you have unlocked.

Now start up your GWLP Client again with "Play" and login to your account.
Now it has the same access as your original GW Account and you're able to create characters, login and screw around.

Congratulations, you're playing on a private GW Server you made yourself!

Read above posts.

I have a question. Is it possible to make a server that only allows Prophecies and core skills?

Liberations · Jan 20, 2008, 03:01 PM // 15:01

Thanks, helpful info, so i guess I didn't download all of the stuff i needed.

Thank's for your help and time.

Liberations · Jan 20, 2008, 06:44 PM // 18:44

This is completely legit, right? I can pretty well say my account wont be banned or stolen?

Abedeus · Jan 20, 2008, 07:40 PM // 19:40

Read whole discussion. It's NOT illegal or harmful in any way.

Yes.
Either find a database that has already been set up to only allow these skills, or edit it yourself.

Liberations · Jan 21, 2008, 12:57 AM // 00:57

lolz sry thanks a lot

Liberations · Jan 21, 2008, 04:08 AM // 04:08

Please help:
The gwGWLP client will not run. Instead pops up a dialog box saying that the .dat file cannot be found, however it is located in the same exact folder.

Do i need to configure everything via MYSQL first? Because all I'm getting out of that is a mess of confusion

Nero_Fayth · Jan 22, 2008, 03:07 AM // 03:07

So, theoretically, somebody could use this to view the emote for r15?

It would be fun to mess around with, if my ability to read directions wasn't impaired by the German writer's English.

therangereminem · Jan 22, 2008, 03:32 AM // 03:32

It seems this project can no longer strive to be legitimate and must now fall back to the fringe from whence it was born.

And what is that then supposed to mean?

I'm scared.

No download for me yet

Liberations · Jan 24, 2008, 01:24 PM // 13:24

Yeah I deleted it, way too confusing and the instructions are far from clear. The instructions speak like you should already by adept at using Xampp and SQLyog. Who the heck uses those things on a regular basis?

Anyway, I admire the project but I don't think its ready for the average GW player. Just my two cents.
