Private ROSE Server Setup


First off, I know next to nothing about this game other then how to get a private server for it running. I just ran across the name of it on some message board and looked it up. I thought it looked interesting and so here's a little guide to get you going. As usual don't ask me where to get the files or the legality of this because I don't know. Use the message boards for discussion and DO NOT iChat/MSN/Jabber whatever me, cause I'll just call you a retard and block you or something. also note this is for a server/client setup on the SAME machine...if you have half a brain you'll know it's quite easy to make this lan or even WAN!! If not, you can ask in the forums :)

First, you'll want to download some files. You need:

- The ROSE online client: rose_evo_100_tala.exe
- The private ROSE server software: eROSE.rar
- WAMPServer: wamp5_1.6.4a.exe
- NaviCat or PHPMyAdmin: navicat_trial.exe or phpmyadmin.net (This guide uses NaviCat)
- ROSE Web site files: 29601d1153336982-rose-web-v1.0.rar

Once you get all those files you'll want to install ROSE client. This doesn't take much time, but updating it does. So once you have it installed you can open it up and it'll proceed to update itself for about an hour. Once it's done, I just click the Exit button in the upper right corner. This quit out of it, which is fine.

Then I unpacked the contents of eROSE.rar into a folder on my C:\ drive called eROSE Server. So it was C:\eROSE Server\ and it had a bunch of files in it.

Then I installed WAMP. WAMP is just a bundle of Apache web server, MySQL database software and PHP. It might have Perl and some other things but those 3 I mentioned are the ones we use. It will prompt you to start up WAMP when it's done installing, go ahead and start it up. Next I installed NaviCat. Make sure you do NOT install NaviCat before WAMP...

Now, after installing NaviCat I started it up and added my MySQL server. The IP/hostname address is localhost and the username is root with no password set. Completely insecure but that's okay for now!!

I then clicked on localhost in the menu to the left of the NaviCat screen and hit "New Database". I called the database Roseon_beta. Now that I had a brand new database I right-clicked on it and hit "Execute Bat File". I located the SQL file in C:\eROSE Server\database.sql and ran that. It'll fill your database with tables and information, good stuff. Click Ok when it's done.

Now you'll want to extract the ROSE web site files (29601d1153336982-rose-web-v1.0.rar) into C:\wamp\www\. You could even create a folder in \www\ called ROSE or something, for organization...I just dropped everything into the web root...you can do whatever you want.

Then you'll want to navigate into the \inc\ folder (C:\wamp\www\inc\) and open a file config.inc.php with either Notepad or WordPad, either works. Then you can change the info as needed:

$serverip = "127.0.0.1"; //Replace with your WAN IP if public
$sql_db = "rose"; //DB Name
$sql_host = "localhost"; //DB Host
$sql_user = "root"; //DB User
$sql_pass = ""; //DB Password

Pretty much you'd want to change $sql_db to roseon_beta since that's what we called our MySQL database. If you secured your MySQL server then $sql_user and $sql_pass would probably be different...if you didn't then leave it as is!

You can now save and exit. Open up Mozilla FireFox or whatever browser you use and go to http://127.0.0.1/ For me that brings up the ROSE page but if you made that extra ROSE folder or another folder for ROSE stuff in \www\ you'd need to change the URL accordingly! Now you may register an account!!!

Now, go back into C:\eROSE Server\ or your private server folder and go into the "release" folder (C:\eROSE Server\release\) and copy the following files:

1. Login Server.exe
2. Char Server.exe
3. World Server.exe
config.ini
LibmySQL.dll
STB Folder

Now PASTE them into C:\Program Files\TriggerSoft\Rose Online Evolution\. Done with that!

Now, open Notepad and paste the following line into it:

TRose.exe @TRIGGER_SOFT@ _server 127.0.0.1 _test

Now save it as Launcher.bat or StartGame.bat - really anything you want...I just thought those were useful names. You'll want to save it in C:\Program Files\TriggerSoft\Rose Online Evolution\.

When in the folder - C:\Program Files\TriggerSoft\Rose Online Evolution\ you now will want to open (double-click) the 3 following files:

1. Login Server.exe
2. Char Server.exe
3. World Server.exe

3 DOS-like windows should open up with some green text inside them. GREAT! Now, open your Launcher/StartGame.bat (whatever you called it) file and ENJOY!!
