Note: Incomplete, if you want anything added, tell me :P.

Well, Eclipse can be confusing, but this will teach you anything [basic] you need to know about Eclipse!

First, I recommend you download
http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,49913.0.html
It's the most up-to-date version of Eclipse as of today.
Then check out this topic:
http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,55447.0.html

Once you do, your Server and Client will work, so now, let's get started!

1\. First, go to where you downloaded Eclipse Stable, and open up the Server folder:

>! ![](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/001842b4c1eadf0d14018a1bcd882204.png)

2\. Now, it should look like this (don't worry if it doesn't look exactly the same) and open up Data.ini:

>! ![](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/6390d60d54f46424f6376b05e35fe897.png)

3\. Make sure it says this:

4\. Paperdoll allows you to see what you wear, so if I click the sword, it will pop up on my player. If you want to enable it, scroll down and find Paperdoll=0 and change it to Paperdoll=1:

5\. Now, save it and go back to the server folder, double click "server":

>! ![](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/635ca3110d98b9e622f2d33251b2c627.png)

9\. If your unlucky, it should look like this, so click "Settings", and make it look like this. 127.0.0.1 stands for localhost, and you should always use this if you are connecting to your own server, otherwise, you will need to portfoward [some great tutorials for portfowarding can be found here, then press CTRL + F and find portfowarding](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,48606.0.html):

>! ![](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/dcf15e5f4c55a259793de33a28704abc.png)

@Searth:

> When I try and open the server, it says "Error loading the scripting engine" I followed all the intructions.

This is due to the Library files being installed incorrectly. Check out http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,55447.0.html and make sure to follow the instructions. You might have to run as Administrator if it does not work by itself.

@Lucifer:

> _I'm also having a little problem with the server; It states that I'm missing or have an invalid file._   :rolleyes:

Try installing the [Eclipse Library Installer 9.12.17](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,55447.0.html).

If that alone doesn't work, then you could try the accompanied tutorials as well, although written for ELI 2, they still apply for ELI 9.12.17 (ELI 3.0.0):
[Installing ELI on Windows XP and prior](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,50010.0.html).
[Installing ELI on Windows Vista and later](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,50015.0.html).

Read through more carefully next time.
