Yep, as Sniperx said. Guide coming soon.

Perhaps I'll make a video tutorial of how to run it in a VMWare.

A video tutorial in addition to a guide would be awesome.

Well. Whenever you get the time to make one that would be great. Flying by my teeth here trying to figure this out. Hopefully soon

Awesome. Thank you for releasing the files.

Webfiles in server files, is complete? or only for register?

thanks man

Interesting, however it's impossible to do too much without that exporter (3dsMax9 to EA format) that Telos released before, or at least you can't import new models.

Jason, I'll give you $1 to see this dude's email and IP addy. 10 - 1 it's M4zora/Afex talking **** out of his ass when he doesn't have a clue what the **** is going on. Yo, GW, if you had spent any time working with the sim engine you'd know how to import and export models without Telos or anyone else to hold your hand.

If all you care about is your precious models go play with CHOB/oogie. I hear she is rebuilding the game around a whole new engine to make it easier for noobs to put their lame-ass photoshop art in a game without actually having to learn anything about programming.

I actually have around 5 years experience in C#/C++ and also I was simply recommending that jason release the extension for the convenience of the community, I apologize for any misunderstanding.

Fine, but worrying about models before you have a functioning game on a server is putting the cart before the horse. Why not use that five years of experience you allegedly have in programming to do some good instead of complaining?

BTW folks, myself and tbarlow have teamed up to get this job done. Neither of us are out to make any money or make CHOB or Snowfox out to be the bad guy, we just want the game up and we are willing to pay for it untill it gets on its feets.

Welcome to EA Central
BoomTown Open Source Project - Index

We are working together to bring EA back for everyone who truly loves the game.

You silly arguing ****ers lol.

Video guide / Text guide coming today possibly. I'll work on it now.

I reply'd to your notification inbox so it should be sent to your email.

And check the home page for all download links and etc , there isnt a guide but check on " How you can contribute to the Open Source Project " for the single player mode.

I'm just wondering. Is anyone working on a readme/tutorial on how to get the server up?

I've noticed that the data files have a header for TAPE (is that Microsoft Tape Format backup?) and SQL data. I've tried to import these data files into phpmyadmin/mysql but it can't read it, I think it's because they aren't backups in that sense but rather a drive image type backup? It does seem to try to import them when I use the Excel 2007 XLSX Workbook format option but no data tables are imported regardless except xlsx_db

I also tried to use NTbackup to restore them, but Ntbackup can't read them either. I imagine these data files are not required(?) for the server to be up and operational, but a data file of some sort with a certain table with credentials must be. For the server startup it looks like it has a database name of DMESERVER and a table of ServerNode (or am I reading this wrong? is the database name servernode?) which coincides with the data files "Servernode" which then would be imported somehow.

in authAccount it appears to be the same base database DMESERVER with a table of EARevolution?
and is newpass [2011] a username and password for the database? I haven't much experience with this sort of thing but trying to figure it out.


It looks like these are the newer data files too, not the data files from 5 years ago so it's likely my character isn't even inside them, I did a search for my char name using HxD and it didn't find me.

I think it's sort of a raw deal that the original sale of Endless Ages didn't come with source code or all the 3d models, but if there's enough here to work with I guess I can't complain.

any ETA on a how to, through Virtual Box or anything even?

I'm also seeing that even if I had the server up and running, I would then have the problem of pointing the client to my IP and port unless I can change that in the launcher source, but at the moment I have no programming environments installed.

Edit* Oh one other thing, in the cfg the port is 1400, is this the port to the server exe or is this the port for the sql database (Mysql)?

You check out the link i wrote above , they have a bit of knowledge of how to get the offline server mode going but someone is doing a guide i reckon at some point , Just need to wait a bit try posting this post in that links forums they might be able to help you out there man.

Hey guys. I've had a website devoted to getting the game back online for about four months now: BoomTown Open Source Project - Index

I was working with tbarlow and a couple other people to try to get the game running on his server but we are stumped and it seems like everyone has given up now. We did make some progress and figured a few things out, but the truth is I don't want a bunch of EA servers because that just dilutes the player base, which is too small anyway. I will work with anyone who wants to help, but I won't be posting any guides on how to setup a server, Jason can do that if he wants.
