At f in clientinfo.xml you set IP of the server where is hosted your game-server (emulator part). Main idea how it must works (like on live real production server). what should i put in the data.ini file for it to read the data folder before reading the GRF? there isn't even a log of an attempted connection on the login server screen. i've done what you suggested here already it for some reason it just doesn't work. But now i can't get any client, even on the same machine as the server, to connect. like i said, i've been going around changing ips here and there, and i got all the server applications to see each other.
i intend to put a server on my permanently-offline 10-computer lanroom. Is that it? so i've been going around the conf folder and changing stuff around in every *_nf file, and then changing the sql server to my ip for nothing? Install and open f inside it, find clientinfo.xml, and change address 127.0.0.1 to your LAN ip where will be hosted your game-server (example:192.168.1.101) Everything what you need (GRF Editor) you are already have in 04_useful tools folder.
