[XP] RPG Maker XP Online System (RMX-OS)

Wait, you mean you are running RMX-OS on a remote server where you don't have direct access like at your PC?

[jcsnider]

No, he is saying he figured out how to host RMX-OS on his computer and people are able to access it without hamachi. As for the website, he states, "Welcome to game_guy's site. This is all ran on his comptuer server, no web host used."

This is an absolutely awesome idea and I would love to implement it in my game. Being able to play with my family and friends on a game designed especially for us that we don't have to pay a monthly fee for... yeah that rocks.

So, I set out on the endeavor to set this up with a game I was creating with my fiance and I've gotten completely lost somewhere in the MySQL seas.

I've downloaded and installed:
*Ruby
*MySQL
*MySQL Management software
*RMX-OS GUI

To the best of my knowledge, I've installed and configured them all correctly (as well as the cfg.ini file).
However, the GUI wouldn't allow me to connect to the SQL server. I then realized I'd forgotten to create the database, as stated in the file you included. So, I did that with the management software.

Everything should now be fine and dandy, but its still not letting me connect in the GUI. I went ahead and tried to connect in the game and got the error:
"Script 'RMX-OS Script' line 2496: Errno::ECONNRESET occurred. An existing connection was forcebly closed by the remote host."

How can it refuse to connect in the GUI and then report a working connection that refuses to allow login? I'm confused.

As I already mentioned in the installation guide, you should look up port forwarding and other terms.

[Annyahs]

I already have. I opened the ports used by RMX-OS and MySQl and then used port checker to confirm that they were indeed open. Still getting the error.

[Blizzard]

You ran the server, right? Post your configuration of the server and the client. Maybe something's wrong.

[Ryex]

note that if the GUI can't connect to the database RMX-OS can't either. use the connect button to check the connection. most database management software works as a remote client. use the configuration you used for the software for RMX-OS and it should work
also be sure that the MySQL server is running simply right click on my computer and click manage then go to services ans make sure the MySQL services is started.

When you want a game to be 24/24 online, you need the main computer always to be on ?

[Hellfire Dragon]

You mean 24/7 and yes, if your hosting it off your own comp then you will need to leave it on if you want it to be available 24/7.

[element]

that sucks :p any other way to fix that ?

[Ryex]

host in a place that is not your computer. or get a cheap computer and devote it to the task.

[element]

host in place whats not my pc ...
u mean ? sorry my english isn't that good 

[Ryex]

host the server on a computer that is not yours, ie. your friends, parent's work (not always a good idea), a paid host online, ect.

[element]

oh get it ! :p
ty for the idea
