==Step 5. Configure marauroa to access the MySQL database==
Now you will generate a marauroa *.ini file so that marauroa knows where and how to access the database with the user accounts and other info.


==Step 5. Install and run the Stendhal client to play in your local Stendhal server==
Open a command prompt window,and cd to ''marauroa/'' folder


Note: if you have already installed the client to connect to the official server, you can use it if it is the same version. However, '''this time''' you have to connect to '''Server name:''' ''localhost'' and create a new account there.

To run the client:
Note: ''If you use Vista or 7 instead of XP, you will see that'' Documents and Settings ''has become'' Users.


Go to arianne website and download the [http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=1111&sel_platform=410 Stendhal client zip file]
At prompt, copy from here


[[File:InstallStendhalClient01.png]]
java -cp marauroa.jar;stendhal-server-{{version}}.jar games.stendhal.server.core.engine.GenerateINI


Unzip the folder that you get, wherever you choose.
which is Case SenSiTivE!


[[File:InstallStendhalClient02.png]]
Now USE your mouse and right-click anywhere inside the window and choose paste.


Double-click the ''stendhal-{{version}}.jar'' file in the client.
Then press <tt>enter</tt>

Create a new account (because your new local Stendhal server doesn't have any player account yet).
'''Warning:''' depending on how you have copied it maybe there's no need to press <tt>enter</tt> this time after you paste (you might have copied the <tt>enter</tt> character too).


[[File:InstallStendhalClient04.png]]
When prompted for the name of the database, press enter to accept the default or write your own.


Type as '''Server name:''' ''localhost'' instead of the default server.
[[Image:Step5GenerateINI1.png]]


[[File:InstallStendhalClient05.png]]
Then press <tt>enter</tt>


And the same '''every time you log in to the game''' in your local server.
When prompted for the name of the database host, this time you can safely press <tt>enter</tt> to accept the default localhost

stendhal_user

'''Warning:''' When prompted for the name of the database user password you have to write exactly the same password you chose earlier when [[VisualGuideToInstallingStendhalStep2#CreateMySQLDatabase_SetUserPassword|creating the database at Step 2]]. So copy from here:


There's a folder called ''data'' inside the Stendhal server folder.
stendhal_passwd


Go into ''data''
and USE your mouse and right-click anywhere inside the window and choose paste. Then press <tt>enter</tt>

Go into ''conf''
Here, like I have just done, it reminds you that you should have granted all permissions to access the marauroa database to the user ''stendhal_user'' with password ''stendhal_passwd''. And that is precisely what we have just done already when [[VisualGuideToInstallingStendhalStep2#CreateMySQLDatabase_SetUserPassword|creating the database at Step 2]].


[[File:SetUpPlayerAdmins02.png]]
Note: Depending on the power and memory of your PC you can get warnings (later in the server window) of turn time overflow (I do) if you set it this value or lower but that does not hurt (I think).


Edit the ''admins.txt'' file with your favourite text editor, e.g. Notepad.
When prompted for the size for the RSA key:


[[File:SetUpPlayerAdmins03.png]]
Press <tt>enter</tt> to accept default


Add the player names to the list and hit [enter] at the end of the last one. Save this file.
This key is used for users' passwords encryption inside the database. Press <tt>enter</tt> to accept the default (512) and wait a while or longer to finish.


[[File:SetUpPlayerAdmins04.png]]
Roughly estimated time (one Mississippi, two Mississippi...) on my computer: 45 seconds (who knows if more, who knows if less)


Now restart your server, and it will read the names from ''admins.txt'' and give them [[Stendhal:Administration|adminlevel]] 5000!


When you see a message that '''server.ini has been generated''', only then,
Close the window:
Type exit or simply click on the X (yes, I will be declared a genius for this sentence)


Go to [[VisualGuideToInstallingStendhalStep6|Step 6. Run MySQL as a service (if it is not running already)]]

Step 5. Install and run the Stendhal client to play in your local Stendhal server

Note: if you have already installed the client to connect to the official server, you can use it if it is the same version. However, this time you have to connect to Server name: localhost and create a new account there.

To run the client:

Go to arianne website and download the Stendhal client zip file

Unzip the folder that you get, wherever you choose.

Double-click the stendhal-1.48.jar file in the client.

Create a new account (because your new local Stendhal server doesn't have any player account yet).

Type as Server name: localhost instead of the default server.

And the same every time you log in to the game in your local server.

Choose the localhost server.


How to set up a player account as admin

There's a folder called data inside the Stendhal server folder.

Go into data

Go into conf

Edit the admins.txt file with your favourite text editor, e.g. Notepad.

Add the player names to the list and hit [enter] at the end of the last one. Save this file.

Now restart your server, and it will read the names from admins.txt and give them adminlevel 5000!
