Step 3 : how to conf the server software :

after downloading the eAthena ZIP file ,extract it , after installing it , we need to set up the server software to allow the creation of accounts from the client login screen. To do this, we just need to make a simple edit to the “char_athena.conf” file located in the “conf” folder of your eAthena directory.
[for example suppose we have extract it in ( C:\proj\) so the file is in (C:\proj\eAthena-SVN-****-TXT\conf\char_athena.conf)]

so you have to open it up in any text editor and scroll down to the part where it looks like this:

CODE

// Enable or disable creation of new characters.
// Now it is actually supported [Kevin]
char_new: 1

// Display (New) in the server list.
char_new_display: 0

// Maximum users able to connect to the server. Set to 0 for unlimited.
max_connect_user: 0

you have just to change the “char_new” from 0 to 1 . Leave “char_new_display” and the other values alone for now – you can play with those later. Save and then close the file, we are done with it.

[important]For those of you that may not have the Korean version of the Ragnarok client installed or if you have installed your client to another location orther than the default “C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO” folder, there is one more thing that you will need to do and this is to set the location of where the map files can be found.
By default eAthena assumes this to be the GRF files within the “C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO” folder. If this is not where you have your Ragnarok client installed, then you must edit the “grf-files.txt” file located in the “conf” folder of your eAthena directory(C:\proj\eAthena-SVN-****-TXT\conf\grf-files.txt).

So open up this file in notepad or any other text editor and verify that the path to your “data.grf” and “sdata.grf” files matches what eAthena is expecting:

CODE

//-----------------------------------------
// GRF List
//-----------------------------------------

grf: C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\data.grf
grf: C:\Program Files\Gravity\RO\sdata.grf

// You may add more in this format
// grf:

[Note]If they do not match, alter the paths to match where these files exist on your computer.
