A work in progress (need to make some points more clear.) guide for getting a default v3.0.7 working.
Mirage Source 3.0.7 :: Installation Guide
*** Mirage Source REQUIRES Visual Basic 6.0. If you don't have this, you cannot edit the project. ONLY Visual Basic 6.0. VB.NET, or any other version, will not work. Sorry. Discussion of illegal distributions is strictly prohibited. Please do not ask for a copy on this thread or any other thread. ***
For Mirage Source 3.0.7, we will need 3 components: MySQL, MySQL ODBC, and MS3.0.7. =)
Installing MySQL:
Download MySQL 5.0 from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html.
Installing ODBC:
Download the ODBC driver from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html.

Installing MySQL:
Download MySQL 5.0 from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html.
- 1. Open up the MySQL installer you downloaded and click Next. view image
2. You should see 3 options for installing: Typical, Complete, and Custom. I'm chooinsg complete, but Typical should suffice for most users. Click next. view image
3. Let it begin installing by click Install. view image
4. When it's finished, you will be given a screen with a checkbox. We do want to configure the server now, so check the box and click Finish. view image
5. Click next. view image
6. We're going to customize our server right now so select Detailed Configuration and click Next. view image
7. If you are going to run the server and MySQL on the same machine, select Developer Machine. If you can spare the memory and are going to run soley MySQL on a computer, select Server or Dedicated Machine. Click next. view image
8. Select Multifunctional Database for this one. It suits our purpose best. Click next. view image
9. Select the path where you want your data stored and click next. view image
10. This is the number of max connections that are available at any given time for your server. If you don't plan on having any other users connecting to your database, you may want to select Manual Setting and set the max connections to 5 or lower. Otherwise, Decision Support is fine. Click Next. view image
11. If you don't plan on allowing any external editting (from another computer) then disable TCP/IP networking. I recommend keeping strict mode enabled. Click Next. view image
12. Standard character set should do fine. Click Next. view image
13. This page is purely optional, but these are the settings I will be using: view image. Click Next.
14. Check the Modify Security Settings box and type in your root username and password. I don't recommend adding the annonymous account. Click Next. view image
15. Execute, wait, and finish! view image
Installing ODBC:
Download the ODBC driver from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html.
- 1. Open up the ODBC installer you downloaded and click Next. view image
2. I recommend a full install but a typical installation will suffice. view image
3. Install. view image
4. Finish! You're done with this. view image
Fixing Up the Source:
There are a few things we need to take care of.
- 1. Copy AES.cls from the client folder to the server folder.
2. Update Public Const strCONN to reflect our database information.- ReplaceWithCode:
DRIVER={MySQL};Change the UID and PWD to the username and password you created when you installed MySQL.Code:DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};
4. Remove a small period from Sub SaveSerials. Currently, it says .cLogin. It should simply be cLogin. (Run and compile and you'll see.)
5. Comment out a call to Function SerialExists. This function does not exist. Search forComment out the 4-line statement.Code:If SerialsExist(HDModel, HDSerial) Then
6. Convert class creating to use MySQL. It currently uses the old method.- FindYou'll notice that it is still the same as the versions that don't use MySQL. With this sub, no characters will be added to the database.Code:
Sub AddChar
Replace, entireCode:Sub AddChar(ByVal Index As Long, ByVal Name As String, ByVal Sex As Byte, ByVal ClassNum As Byte, ByVal CharNum As Long)
Dim RS As ADODB.Recordset
Set RS = New ADODB.Recordset
RS.Open "SELECT * FROM characters;", Conn_Client, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
RS.AddNew
RS!Account = Player(Index).FKey
RS!Name = Trim(Name)
RS!Sex = Sex
RS!Class = ClassNum
RS!Sprite = Class(ClassNum).Sprite
RS!Level = 1
RS!str = Class(ClassNum).str
RS!DEF = Class(ClassNum).DEF
RS!SPEED = Class(ClassNum).SPEED
RS!MAGI = Class(ClassNum).MAGI
RS!Map = 1
RS!X = 1
RS!Y = 1
RS!HP = 10
RS!MP = 10
RS!SP = 10
RS.Update
If Player(Index).Char(CharNum).FKey = 0 Then
Player(Index).Char(CharNum).FKey = RS!FKey
End If
RS.Close
Set RS = Nothing
End Sub
- Replace
