Quick setup
- Database — Create/restore KO databases and run the scripts in the SQL Codes folder if necessary.
- Configuration — Edit the GameServer.ini, DeaFSoftSettings.ini, and client-side Server.ini/Option.ini files with your IP and SQL credentials.
- Compile the server — open the .sln file, compile with Release | x64 (GameServer + LogInServer).
- Compile the anti-cheat — compile Pearl Guard with Release | Win32 , copy the SRGAME.dll file into the client as DeaFSoft.dll .
- Run — Start LogInServer and GameServer from the x64\Release\ folder.
Important: Be sure to change the default ODBC passwords before going live. Do not open a public server with the example username/password.

Notes
- This version is for 2369 — not 1098, 1534, or 2039.
- It is shared for educational and private server development purposes only .
- After setting up your own DB/client, test warp, bot spawn, and anti-cheat.
- If the RAR file won't open, use WinRAR or 7-Zip (Windows' built-in zip tool won't open .rar files).
Please feel free to write with your questions and feedback. I wish you all the best on your server.
