are you sure ive been looking like 4 times all. i know its something wrong with the account creation on the website files
 
i've heard from 3 ppls now that setting up the server is easy. the last person i've talked with just said i needed to open up main.rb. i dont have the program... what program do i need? i did the mysql stuff. what do i do now? i have ruby, the 1.8.6 package, but what do i DO with it?
 
I'm sorry for disturbing you with noobish questions.. but does Netplay use SDK? in the 1st script page it says "netplay plus SDK", but it isn't mentioned anywhere else, besides checking SDK logs. does it use only parts of the SDK, or altered SDK parts?
 
Okay heres the problem with me, i have the mysql thing going and its all set up, i have the ip thing going, ("server name" => ["SQL06.FREEMYSQL.NET",50000]
but i have no idea what to use for the port.
and when i try to test play it says (server name - offline)
and when i try and log in with my mysql username and pass i get nothin...
please help me out : [[

Scroll down the scripts and you'll see the full SDK. It uses SDK 2.x.
 
@Tylord_lol - that freemysql address you have is not right, that's the address of your database, you need the address of the server which is your own ip address if its on your own computer.
 
okay thanks, so this is what it looks like now....
"server name" => ["216.186.xxx.xx",50xxx]
but now im still lost on what the port is :[
and it still says offline

p.s. i have the port set to my own port

Hello.
I've read everything in the first post and I read and done the "Basic Guide" but...I still don't know how to run the server :P I did all there was said to do about the MySQL and what not, but when I start my game it all there is is this "no server" clickable? What else do I need to do to get the server online?
EDIT
I've read where people had the error "connect(2)uninitialized class variable @@_mysql in Netplay Server" and the reason of it was because the server wasn't set up right...WTF?! I did everything you guys said in your guides and crap...its still giving me this error >_> am I supposed to edit scripts in RMXP? If so, which ones? and where?
EDIT2
Alright...I didn't see the whole part about editing the "config file" so...Im trying that but I got stuck :P how am I supposed to know what my port and crap like that is?
Oh ya...I forgot to mention that it gives me the error both when I run it locally and not locally. . .
 
This system only have the basic systems of netplay in RMXP, no Addons.
And also this ruby server is not stable at all. ruby servers never will be stable you need new server.
 
The server is perfectly stable. As has repeatedly been said this is designed for dedicated servers not your home PC.
Also, there are NO addons for NP+2. Everything is in that one package.
 
I'm sure i read somewhere on the old forums about this question being answered as no, but new version might bring new stuff.

Is it possible to run the server on a web host?
Right now i've just got a local web server running (xampp), and I can get everything working externally if i plug in a modem rather than router.
I know that port forwarding is needed for running it myself, but i've never been able to get that working :(.

Part from that, I get it working just fine with my own mysql server. But can't register new users because I can't get a mail server working. Is it possible to enter users into the database manually?
 
I got it all working and setup yesterday, and i could log in and play and such, but now for some reason it doesn't work.
(All i added was a few maps and NPC's..)
Here's the error:
Code:
Script 'Network Library' line 1211: NoMethodError occurred.

undefined method `moveto' for nil:NilClass
