You will need to do these steps in this order:
(UNLESS NOTED THIS ALL TAKES PLACE ON REMOTE PC NOT YOUR LOCAL PC)

Step	Instructions	image
1	Log into your server via remote desktop connection (this is outside of the scope of this doc, if your stuck here please see internets).	[/tr] 2 On your remote desktop install Google Chrome or Firefox (IE is restricted on most systems and may not let you download the files you will need). 3 Install Steam and Login 4 On steam go to LIBRARY --> TOOLS 5 Install: LIFE IS FEUDAL DEDICATED SERVER 6 Download and install Maria 5.5. [downloads.mariadb.org] Do NOT install 10.x that may not work. - During Installation make note of the database password you create - Do not change the process from MYSQL to anything else - Be sure to select UTF-8 as the format 7 Edit your config_local.cs which is located in (root)\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Life Is Feudal Your Own Dedicated Server\Docs Change server = "127.0.0.1" to "localhost" Change Password = "THE PASSWORD YOU MADE WHEN INSTALLING MARIADB" MOVE the file to the directory above: (root)\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Life Is Feudal Your Own Dedicated Server\ 8 Edit your world_1.xml file in notpad which is in (root)\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Life Is Feudal Your Own Dedicated Server\ 9 [Open my.ini in (root)\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Life Is Feudal Your Own Dedicated Server\Docs[/td] [/tr] 10 Prepare to merge the ini files 1. Copy the block of text from LIFDS my.ini 2. Go to Start ->All Programs -> MariaDB 5.5 3. Find and Open my.ini (see image) 11 nject the my.ini from the dedicated server install folder into the my.ini for MariaDB 1. Paste the LIFDS my.ini text into the MariaDB my.ini file. 2. Remove any redundancies 3. Save it where it is (do not save somewhere else) 12 Open UDP/TCP Ports 28000, 26001-26003 13 Create a shortcut on desktop for ddtcd_cm_yo_server.exe with the following properties: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Life is Feudal Your Own Dedicated Server\ddctd_cm_yo_server.exe" -world 1 14 Start Server If you followed these instructions it should run without much of a problem. If it does not please check all of the steps. Server will connect to the database and there will be red text mixed in with green and yellow. If it is mostly red and crashes then check settings. If it is mostly green/white then it will be fine. You should let it run at least 5-10 minutes the first time before the name shows up on the steam list. 15 Profit [/table]

Closing thoughts

I want to thank Bobkik for all of his help the other day with getting started with this game. The initial documentation provided, while correct is lacking in detail that most users will need. I hope this guide will help you get a server up and running.

Total time smashing head against wall: 18 hours.
Head Smashers that I could not have figured this out without:
Clifford_AKA_Miku
Nehpets
and Mega thanks to:
STS_Desert whom spent over 8 hours on his own with no success.

Thank you all!

Please comment if one of the steps is wrong or I missed something and I will fix the guide.
Remember this is 1 day after release and a better guide may come in the future from the dev team. If not I hope this serves you all well!

getting erro

Error: cannot change namespace parent linkage of WeaponImage from WeaponData to ShieldData.

Error: cannot change namespace parent linkage of Armor from PlayerData to AnimalData.

Doesn't work!

The program just flashes when running the shortcut for the server (yes, with the -world 1 switch). Followed directions to the T.

I agree that this is outdated. Time to find a new guide.

select c.ID, in_newSkillTypeID as SkillTypeID, 0 as newSkillAmount, 1 as newLockStatus

I have a problem,


-- allocate needed skill with 0 values at first.
-- don't use "insert ... select on duplicate key update" here - it is not so safe for replication.
insert into skills_new (CharacterID, SkillTypeID, SkillAmount, LockStatus)
select c.ID, in_newSkillTypeID as SkillTypeID, 0 as newSkillAmount, 1 as newLockStatus
from `character` c
join skills s on s.CharacterID = c.ID
where s.SkillTypeID = in_oldSkillTypeID
and !exists(select * from skills_new sn where sn.CharacterID = c.ID and sn.SkillTypeID = in_newSkillTypeID)
order by c.ID;
