Well, last time I was writing a guide for this. It took me about 30 minutes then I accidently clicked a link and lost everything ! D: but anyways:
In my last tutorial on Making a FUN EOSERV to play is how to make a fun EOSERV & not Seose, so I decided to make thsi guide because i've seen many people using Seose servers because possibly EOSERV is to difficult or they don't like it.
If you don't know how to setup a Seose server you can learn it here, if you don't know how to PortForward for your Seose server you can learn that here! Or search one of the many guides on
YouTube for portforwarding and found something useful like this.
Once you've setup everything correctly, you're ready to start making the server fun! The first thing to do is learning about your Seose.xini , there are many things you can change in this file that can make your server fun! The first thing you'll need to do to just start off is the name, in your
Seose.xini do CTRL + F and type Name and obviously you probably won't want your server to be named Untitled Seose Server, so you can change it to whatever you want, try to make it a cool name so people will join!
People probably don't like low drop rates, you can change the rates by doing CTRL + F and type rates that should look like this:
Exp = 100 /* % Experience gain rate */
Drop = 100 /* % Drop chance */
Regen = 100 /* % Max HP to regenerate every regen event */
Skill = 3 /* Skill points awarded for leveling */
Stat = 3 /* Stat points awarded for leveling */
Buy = 50 /* % Of the sell cost a shop keeper will buy an item back */
Sleep = 100 /* % Of gold per HP point needed to sleep at an inn */
Change the Exp = to something you want, if you're using original maps and pub drops etc, then you'll probably will want to make it something around a thousand. But for rates you can also do them customly one at a time, you can do that with EditPub you will be able to find a guide for that
here.
Also people won't want to get 3 statsperlevel, you can change Stat = 3 and Skill = 3 to something you like, but players like it a bit higher. You can change it to what you want but not too high! If I were you I would change it from 5-10 but it always depends on the rates.
Player's won't want it to take forever to kill a NPC. So maybe make the NPC's health a bit lower or make your attack higher by default! You can do this by doing:
MinDamage = 5
MaxDamage = 10
Instert that into >> Users >> Default.xini then right under this:
[base]
MaxHP = 10
MaxTP = 10
MaxSP = 100
MaxWeight = 60
So it would end up looking like;
[base]
MaxHP = 10
MaxTP = 10
MaxSP = 100
MaxWeight = 60
MinDamage = 5
MaxDamage = 10
You can also do many other things in default.xini as in making an all admin server, which probably won't be the best because those servers aren't very fun in my opinion, but if you wish then do it, but try to make it fun! By doing default admin under the
[character]
Add in under it Admin = 3 or whatever you want people's admin level to start with. So in the end it should look like so:
[character]
ClassID = 1
Admin = 3
Now this:
[location]
Map = 1
X = 9
Y = 21
Is where the characters first start, where they spawn when they first join the server. You can change the location to where ever you want, as long as that position exists. In game you can do #loc and it'll tell you the exact location you're standing on.
For example I type #loc and it says 5 47 47, that would mean map ID 5, X 47, y 47. Then you could change that into the [location] then players would join there!
The papperdoll is what players have equipted when they first join, for example.
Paperdoll = "121,0,0,0,151,0,0,0,27,0,0,0,0,0,0"
Change those ID's to what you want them to start with.
You find this out by equipting the items in-game what you want them to start with, restart the server, and look at your papperdoll in users >> look for your name and go to the papperdoll and copy & paste it into the default.xini papperdoll!
The basics of making the server is fun is almost the same as the EOSERV Guide, you just need custom maps, items, and a few more things. Players tend to like higher EXP rates, too high people will love them, but it WILL get old after a while. So don't make it to easy nor too hard
and most likely players will love it. Too hard will probably make them quit, to easy they'll love but it WILL get boring after a while!
Never hire to many admins, and don't hire people for joining first haha. When you hire admins make sure they're talented. and don't hire moderators in less you actually have players to moderate.
Reading the Seose.xini will help lot's so you'll know what to do in it. Once you've fully understand it you'll soon become a pro! Anyways I hope this guide helped you! :D
Understanding Seose & Making it Fun!
