TaikoLocalServer/OldSetup.md

Old setup

1. Download the latest release of TaikoArcadeLoader and install it. Make sure to setup TAL using the config.toml and set the server parameter to your local IP address.

2. Download the latest release of TaikoReverseProxy.

3. In the Data\x64\datatable folder of the game, find the following files:

   music_attribute.bin
   musicinfo.bin
   music_order.bin
   wordlist.bin
   

   Extract them (you can use 7zip) and rename the extracted file like so:

   music_attribute -> music_attribute.json
   musicinfo       -> musicinfo.json
   music_order     -> music_order.json
   wordlist        -> wordlist.json
   

   Then put these in TaikoLocalServer's wwwroot/data folder.

4. Modify hosts, add the following entries (this step can be done automatically with TaikoReverseProxy, check the config for it):

   server.ip      tenporouter.loc
   server.ip      naominet.jp
   server.ip      v402-front.mucha-prd.nbgi-amnet.jp
   server.ip      vsapi.taiko-p.jp
   

   where server.ip is your computer's ip (or the server's ip)

5. Open command prompt as admin, navigate to game root folder (where init.ps1 is). Run regsvr32 .\AMCUS\iauthdll.dll. It should prompt about success

6. Run TaikoReverseProxy and TaikoLocalServer, then run the game. You can access the WebUI by going to https://naominet.jp:10122/ in your browser.

Server setup (for TAL<2.00 or other loaders)

1. Download the server from release page, extract anywhere

2. From game's Data\x64\datatable folder, find music_attribute.bin, musicinfo.bin, music_order.bin and wordlist.bin, decompress them, add .json prefix to them. The result is music_attribute.json, musicinfo.json, music_order.json and wordlist.json. Put the json files under wwwroot/data folder in server.

3. Modify hosts, add the following entries:

   server.ip      tenporouter.loc
   server.ip      naominet.jp
   server.ip      v402-front.mucha-prd.nbgi-amnet.jp
   server.ip      vsapi.taiko-p.jp
   

   where server.ip is your computers ip (or the server's ip)

4. Setup TaikoReverseProxy or Apache as reverse proxy.

5. Now run the server, if everything is setup correctly, visit http://localhost:5000, you should be able to see the web ui up and running without errors. (If you encounter errors in web ui for the first time, try visit https://naominet.jp:10122/)

6. Go to game folder, copy the config files (AMConfig.ini and WritableConfig.ini) in the AMCUS folder from server release to AMCUS folder and replace the original ones.

7. Open command prompt as admin, navigate to game root folder (where init.ps1 is). Run regsvr32 .\AMCUS\iauthdll.dll. It should prompt about success.

8. Run AMCUS/AMAuthd.exe, then run AMCUS/AMUpdater.exe. If the updater run and exits without issue, you are ready to run the game and connect to server.

9. Run the game, it should now connect to the server.

Run the server on another computer

If you want to run the server on another computer, the procedure is almost identical.

Before you open browser, in wwwroot/appsettings.json, change BaseUrl to https://naominet.jp:10122 then instead of visit localhost, visit the server using domain name to test.

Also note that now the cetificate also need to be imported on client computer, or web ui may not work. If you don't need https, change BaseUrl to http://server.ip:80, and visit on client. The game does not care about certificate.

Apache Setup (Optional)

Notice the following assumes a windows install, the server also works on Linux, but the guide only covers windows.

1. Download Apache, extract anywhere

2. Copy the content in release rar's Apache folder to installed Apache root folder (and replace, which includes httpd.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf, if no prompt to replace files, you are extracting to wrong folder)

3. Open conf/httpd.conf (under installed Apache folder), find this line (line 37 by default), modify it to your Apache install (extracted) full path

# For example, if your Apache is extracted to C:\users\username\Apache24, then this should be "c:/users/username/Apache24"
Define SRVROOT "d:/Projects/Apache24"

4. Open the certs folder Apache root folder, then click on the localhost.crt file and import it to trusted root store.

If everything is correct, run bin/httpd.exe, a command prompt will open (and stay open, if it shut down, probably something is not setup correctly)
