Easy Stendhal Server Installation On Windows

The install process for a Stendhal server on Windows is three easy steps.

Don't worry, the pictures below may show a different server number but all the steps are exactly the same.

Get server files

The server files are available as a .zip.

• Go to download files and download stendhal-1.48-server.zip
• Save it on your desktop
• Extract the files into a folder on your desktop called stendhalserver

In Windows XP you extract the zip by right clicking and select Extract All

In Vista you double click the zip to view the items and then click on Extract all files

In both cases, choose to extract to Desktop\stendhalserver (I typed it in, and the folder was created)

Here is roughly what you should see inside the stendhalserver folder: (expect different version numbers)

Configure server

You need to use the windows command prompt next.

Use cd (change directory) to get to the stendhalserver folder. If you saved it on your Desktop this is easy for you, just type

cd Desktop
cd stendhalserver

At prompt copy from here and hit enter:

java -cp stendhal-server-1.48.jar games.stendhal.server.core.engine.GenerateINI

Then just hit enter twice more to accept the defaults offered

There will be a delay, please wait until you see the line 'server.ini has been generated' as below:

Run the server

Still within the command prompt, now just type

java -jar stendhal-server-1.48.jar 

Here are the first few lines you will see:

and then you will see zones, and finally quests loading. When it is ready you will see 'marauroa is up and running' as below:
