# Database.Host - The hostname that the database is located on
# Database.Username - The username used for the mysql connection
# Database.Password - The password used for the mysql connection
# Database.Name - The database name
# Database.Port - Port that MySQL listens on. Usually 3306.
# Database.Type - Client to use. 1 = MySQL, 2 = PostgreSQL, 3 = Oracle 10g
Taken directly from the Ascent.conf.
Database.Host: If you're running a private server for your self, this should be 127.0.0.1, or localhost.
Your "database" is the SQL you execute in Navicat..
Database.Username: Just type in "root". Root = Your computer's deepest thing.
Database.Password: You choose this password when you setup MySQL / PostgreSQL / Oracle 10g. [More info [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]]
Database.Name: Will mostly be "world" or something like that. It's the name of the SQL you execute.
Database.Port: You choose this on the MySQL Setup. Common: 3306.
Others: 3307, 3308, 3309.
Database.Type: MySQL is the most used in every single repack - [[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]] -- Recommended
PostgreSQL is another SQL Setup - [[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]] -- Not recommended
Oracle 10g is a third option for SQL Setup - [[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]] -- Not recommended
Example of all this:
Code:
<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "random" Name = "world" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "random" Name = "logon" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
=================================
Pt.2: Listen Config
Code:
# Host
# This is the address that the server will listen on.
# To listen on all addresses, set it to 0.0.0.0
# Default: 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
#
# WorldServerPort
# This is the port that the world server listens on.
# It has to be the same as what is specified in the
# realms table in the LogonDatabase.
# Default: 8129
Host: If you want this to be online with a bit lesser lagg, choose: "0.0.0.0" - But, if you're a singleplayer, choose the "127.0.0.1"
WorldServerPort: Do not ever touch this. Just let it be "8129".
Note: You can use 0.0.0.0 for Singleplayer, if you want to.
=================================
Pt.3: Log Level Setup
Code:
# Console Logging Level
# This directive controls how much output the server will
# display in it's console. Set to 0 for none, or -1 to disable.
# -1 = Disabled; 0 = Minimum; 1 = Error; 2 = Detail; 3 = Full/Debug
# Default: 3
#
# World server packet logging feature
# If this directive is turned on, a file called `world.log`
# will be created in the server's directory and all packets
# sent and received by clients will be dumped here in bfg
# format.
# Default: 0
Console Logging Level: Some see this as important, and I do too. Set this to "3"
World server packet logging feature:
Multiplayer: Recommended - Set as "1"
Singleplayer: Not recommended - Set as "0"
Example of all this:
Singleplayer:
Code:
<LogLevel Screen="3" File="3" World="1">
