Installing MineQuest

This guide assumes that you know how to install a MineCraft CraftBukkit server already. See instuctions at http://wiki.bukkit.org/Setting_up_a_server.

Prerequisites

- A server that has Java installed. Java games consume a lot of CPU and memory, so the more the better. See http://wiki.bukkit.org/Setting_up_a_server

- CraftBukkit - A replacement for the Minecraft server (get at http://wiki.bukkit.org/CraftBukkit)

- MineQuest install files (get at http://code.google.com/p/minequest/downloads/list)

    * MineQuest-<version>.jar
    * abilities.jar (only necessary if the file fails to download after first launch)
    * resource_classes.properties (only necessary if the file fails to download after first launch)
    * combat_classes.properties (only necessary if the file fails to download after first launch)

Optional

- Some SQL server (MySQL, Postgres, MSSQL). The server can perform better using a SQL server, preferably running on a different computer system. See install guide MineQuestSQLInstall.txt for links and information.

Linux

Assuming that you have a working MineCraft server already running in the minecraft user's home directory. See http://wiki.bukkit.org/Setting_up_a_server

Windows users may be running in a different directory but the directory names and file locations are the same within the minecraft server directory.

See guide to installing plugins:
http://wiki.bukkit.org/Installing_Plugins

Copy minequest.jar into 'plugins'
/home/minecraft/minecraft/plugins/minequest.jar

Start the server and then stop it.

A new directory should be created in the minecraft directory called 'minequest'.

/home/minecraft/minecraft/minequest

Copy abilities.jar into 'minequest' directory

Copy combat and resource class configuration files into 'minequest' directory.
/home/minecraft/minecraft/minequest/resource_classes.properties
/home/minecraft/minecraft/minequest/combat_classes.properties

Directories and files should look like this:

home
  |
  +--minecraft
            |
            +--minecraft
                    |CraftBukkit.jar
                    |questname.quest files
                    |
                    +--plugins
                    |minequest.jar
                    |
                    +--minequest
                    |abilities.jar
                    |resource_classes.properties
                    |combat_classes.properties

The above guides will help you set up a server in Windows.
You can follow the linux instructions replacing /home/minecraft with what ever directory you installed to on your windows platform.  All other instructions are the same, minequest.jar goes in the plugins folder, etc.
