[[EDIT]]--NOTE: Make a dsn called MuOnline on subserver. More coming soon -- [[/EDIT]]

1) Ok firstly, turn off main server.


2) Open up:
\muserver\cs\connectserverlist.dat

And put in:
Code:
0 "servername" "mainserverip" 55901 "SHOW"
1 "servename2" "subserverip" 55902 "SHOW"
Then save and close.


3) Open up:
\muserver\cs\data\serverlist.dat

And put in:
Code:
0 "servername" "mainserverip" 55901 "SHOW"
1 "servename2" "subserverip" 55902 "SHOW"
4) Then open:

\muserver\cs\data\connectserverlist.dat

And edit:
Code:
0 "servername" "mainserverip" 55901 "SHOW"
1 "servename2" "subserverip" 55902 "SHOW"
5) Open:

\muserver\data\iplist.dat

Then change it to:
Code:
"mainserverip"
"subserveip"
6) Dont forget to edit:

serverInfo.dat in muserver\data to:
Code:
[GameServerInfo]
ServerName = servername
ServerCode = 0
ConnectMemberLoad = 0;
--Great, done all ip's for now.--


7) In your \muserver directory, copy dataserver1 and paste it. Call it dataserver3, and make a shortcut of dataserver.exe and put it in \links


In the new dataserver link, you will need to add:
Code:
55964
Or 2 digits after ur dataserver2..


9) Copy the folder gameserver & data. and put it on ur subserver machine. Make sure it is d:\muserver or c:\muserver etcetc..


--SUBSERVER TIME--

10) Open up:

\data\ServerInfo.dat

And edit:
Code:
[GameServerInfo]
ServerName = servername2
ServerCode = 1
ConnectMemberLoad = 0;
11) Make a shortcut of gameserver.exe. Then in Target: box, have:
Code:
D:\muserver\gameServer\gameServer.exe MAINSERVERIP 55970 MAINSERVERIP 55962 55902
Of course D:\ would be C:\ if a C: gameserver. And also the ports would be different if u have changed ..


12) Run the server on main pc. LOAD DATASERVER3 AFTER DATASERVER2. IF USING MUSERVERSTARTUP, OPEN DATASERVER3 LINK FIRST. All should work.


13) Run subserver with gameserver link. All should work.


14) Go in and test, all should be working 100%!
