"This is the Chronicles of Spellborn Testserver compiled as standalone kind-of-sandbox (it saves players' last position on logout etc).


How to play:
1. Install the Chronicles of Spellborn beta client (v0.9, see spellborn.org for downloads).

2. Open the installed folder go into /etc/client and open 'sb_client.rc' with notepad or a similar text editor.

3. Change the line 'client/net/login_addr = 87.249.97.4:22233' to 'client/net/login_addr = 127.0.0.1:22233' (effectively just replacing the ip with your local/loopback address)
You may need to add an exception to your firewall for these ports depending on how it is configured to work.

4. From the sandbox folder either use the supplied batch files to run the server or open it yourself from inside the Files folder.
The batch file will spawn an invisble instance, if you run it yourself you'll most likely just see a black window.

5. Give it some time to load.

6. You can now login (using the sb_client.exe from the games' installation folder inside its 'bin/client/' subdirectory):

The sandbox has 4 Accounts preinstalled:
Explorer,
Explorer2,
Explorer3,
Explorer4
The password for all is "pass" and they are all set to GM-level (allows teleporting etc).


The server is experimental, so expect it to crash or to crash the client (the beta client has its own share of bugs).
Most features are not available, some haven even been deliberately disabled in the sandbox as they were too buggy to be usable.
But that should not keep you from exploring.
If you want others to join your exploration (login to your sandbox), you have to modify the Config.xml inside the 'Files' folder (edit 'PublicIp' to your machines/routers public ip).
Those who want to join must edit their sb_client.rc file to your public ip and use one of the other free accounts.

And just to emphasize, the server is experimental.
By running it you agree to not hold us responsible for potential loss of data or anything related if it fails to do its job
(the chances of that are pretty much nonexistent though).


This project would not have been possible without the following people:
Saltiel,
Acid-burn,
JW-NL,
Polymo/Valoofx,
In remembrance: Valshaaran/Aslessor,
Kevin (maintainer of spellborn.org)
And many more users from the spellborn.org forums

Have fun exploring."
