Ultimate set up guide (At least worked for me)

[Bullsito]

First of all, I don't speak english so if there is any grammar mistake or whatever, don't mind me to correct it.

I spent with my team near a month trying to set up the gamemode and when we were near give up Chaos told me what should we do to make it work and he let me post and reupload the gamemode.

Easy way:

• Just download the gamemode already setted up and run it (Untested, it should be no problem but I can't asure you the 100% working, just remember change your database credentials, Step 3 in Long Way)

(https://mega.nz/file/EwFRUIoR#ICffRubjlQNyIrXNFmfJvwDi46PI3SrB1HnNwwSfw9Q)

---

Long way:

1. Open GIT Bash -> Move to you prefered directory -> Install GIT LFS (git lfs install in you bash terminal) -> Clone this repo with LFS (git lfs clone https://github.com/OwlGamingCommunity/V.git) -> It should be created a folder called 'V' -> You can close GIT Bash if you want

2. Go in to 'V' Folder -> Execute OwlV.sln -> Change the solution config from the toolbar to set it up in DEBUG-X64-BOOT/COOKER/EventComposer

3. Open owl.mysql -> Open MySQL.cs and ThreadedMySQL.cs -> Search for SettingHelpers.GetDevEnvironmentSetting in both files -> Change the connection parameters if you have others (In my case, my password is 'admin'). IMPORTANT: Change auth port to 3306 (If you have that port for MySQL), NOT 3307

4. Open EventComposer -> Open EventComposer.cs -> Go to line 90 (or wherever 'UI Descriptors' starts) -> Change ".." to "..\..\..\.." (Somehow, the original path is incorrect and with that change we can put the correct one) -> Do the same with Network Descriptors (Line 120) -> Search for "client & server" or "owl_core" or "owl_core.client" (Line 365) and change "owl_core" or "owl_core.client" to "......\owl_core" or "......\owl_core.client" (Yeah, the path is fuck up too there)

5. Rebuild ALL the solution -> You should have now a folder called 'Output' -> Paste all the content from 'RAGE-MP\Server-files' to 'Output\Debug' -> Go to Output\Debug\Plugins and delete bridge.dll

6. Run EventComposer from Visual Studio with Debug-x64-EventComposer

7. Run Cooker from Visual Studio with Debug-x64-Cooker (you shouldn't have any errors with this)

8. Make sure your database is online (I use PHPMyAdmin)

9. Run Boot from Visual Studio with Debug-x64-Boot PAY ATENTTION IF YOU MAKE IT TO THIS STEP

10. You may think it's done, the server is up and running but if you try to enter, it's an empty gamemode, you can do nothing, you have to enable C#

11. Go to Ouput\Debug -> Open conf.json with your text editor -> Change "csharp" : "disabled" to "csharp" : "enabled" and save

12. Run again Boot -> The good news it's Script_loader is working but the but news it's you now have an error "Assembly with the same name is already loaded" -> Go to Output\Debug\dotnet\resources\deps_rageoverrides and delete "Newtonsoft.json.dll" (its a shortcut)

13. Before running Boot again, you should delete "cooked_maps" shortcut from Output\Debug -> Paste the whole folder from the first link where is the whole gamemode or in this link that its only the folder (https://mega.nz/file/Y091nK4Z#UfCKKCQO08SraGbBEPY1TcCqmrGrCYAmgbcJYyn834M).

The first 'folder' (shortcut) doesn't let you get in, so the server can't do it either so you force the access with the entire folder with its content.

(You should generate too this folder without download anything with Release-x64-Cooker but I didn't test it well while I set up this gamemode, so better safe than sorry)

14. Run AGAIN and for the last time Debug-x64-Boot -> Congrats, you server should be running

15. Try to connect to the server

If you need help, try to reach Owl Discord or here in their Github, I'm just a regular guy who could start this gamemode after a month trying and trying with the help of some of this original devs.

I ONLY COULD SET IT AND START IT, I DIDN'T PLAY OR TEST THIS GAME MODE AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS GUIDE

Did you check you got the right connection parameters to you database? Is the GTAV database properly imported? Other fella told me he had a similar error and I don't know why, it works for me, it seems to be a local database error.

[KevinGarciaR]

@ismatuner The table custom_interior_maps doesn't exists in the database... I had similar problems like that, so I had to install like 5-6 tables manually. You must guide yourself with the logs.

[Yannick-DG]

CREATE TABLE `custom_interior_maps` (
  `id` int(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  `property_id` int(10) NOT NULL,
  `marker_x` float NOT NULL,
  `marker_y` float NOT NULL,
  `marker_z` float NOT NULL,
  `uploaded_at` datetime DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `updated_at` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;

ALTER TABLE `custom_interior_maps`
  ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  ADD KEY `custom_interior_maps_property_id_created_at_index` (`property_id`,`uploaded_at`);

ALTER TABLE `custom_interior_maps`
  ADD CONSTRAINT `custom_interior_maps_property_id_foreign` FOREIGN KEY (`property_id`) REFERENCES `properties` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE;

MySQL Query Error [GAME]: Table 'gtav.world_blips' doesn't exist

@yannickboy15

@Bullsito

i am trying to easy version one and it is giving me erros if a .mysql can be geneerated it will solve lot of problems. please help

[Bullsito]

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

Did you import correctly the .sql files into your database? Did you set your own connection parameters?

[Paul0405]

@Bullsito

where can i find the sql?

[Bullsito]

@Bullsito

where can i find the sql?

Data folder, there are two .sql files

[woozievert]

could not find Mysql.Data.resources.dll

[Aurydevelopment]

me too

[Aurydevelopment]

My database has no password. I leave this blank and I get this error. What is the reason?

[Bullsito]

The database credential thing stills being a mysterie, no fix at the moment for that.

[Yannick-DG]

Most of you guys are probably running XAMPP or shit. Check this out and reset your MySQL root password to like root or something you guys know.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24566453/resetting-mysql-root-password-with-xampp-on-localhost

After that, hop into your environment variables on your computer or use the built in solution environment variables of Visual Studio and enter all the credentials in there. Also make sure that port 3307 of the AUTH database is set to 3306 if you host it all on 1 server.

[Aurydevelopment]

I'm using XAMPP. What program would you recommend I use to avoid this mysql problem? I can't connect to mysql.

[Yannick-DG]

XAMPP is fine, just make sure you've set it up right otherwise the start is already messed up.

Alternative would be a regular MySQL Server or whatever you'd like, but for development purposes XAMPP does the trick.

[heartsiddharth]

Can anyone please help me with .mysql file which has all the structures ?

[Aurydevelopment]

XAMPP is fine, just make sure you've set it up right otherwise the start is already messed up.

Alternative would be a regular MySQL Server or whatever you'd like, but for development purposes XAMPP does the trick.

Other rpg gamemodes are working. But in this game mode, the connection to the database doesn't work. I added in mysql password but it doesn't work.

[miqadze]

Could not load type 'GTANetworkAPI.Vector3' from assembly 'owl_servershared, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' due to value type mismatch.

any ideas what the hell is going on?

[mircea1223]

try to use his credential on your database. user: root pass: admin

[Bullsito]

The (database) credentials thing in this gamemode its a little tricky.

If you don't have the environment variables declare, you had to use the default credentials, which I think its admin:example or root:example or something like that, I don't recall if they work with root:admin (therefore, you have to configure your database to that credentials).

If you wanna to use YOUR OWN credentials, you have to set it as environment variables, at Windows its easy, I never did that at Linux but its Linux so there should be a lot of guides on the internet.

[SirNeoTheMatrix]

All is good so far on locale ... but thing is i dont know what causing it in game i have 2 big problems so far... that not letting me continue

1. when rain is starting - ALL screen is in fog too much. u cant even see 1 cm from head...
2. makeint is giving error because of 3 argument, bool because it ask something about blips and there is no info of what blip name is..

[Bullsito]

1- There was a few weathers that are so weird, I guess it tas 9,10,11. Anyways, you can test them with /setw
2- I guess, as the syntax message might show, to make a global blip for the property or something like that, as far as I remember, some bool parameters must be passed as 'true' or 'false' (doesn't work with 1 or 0)

[ins72]

can i contact you on discord or something?

[Paul0405]

Could anyone show me where the SQL of the database is?

[Bullsito]

Data folder, there are two .sql files

[V1ruSsSsS]

How to set it up on linux (Ubuntu 22.04 LT)? Is it even possible or should i change the contract from linux server to windows?

I've done multiple tries to set it up and the best i could get was when i started the server and saw the chat that's in Owl scripts. Nothing else. Nothing else loaded, no server-side scripts were loaded. Please help. Reach me out here on by discord - v1russss
