How to Configure Illusion Temple on MU Online Server

How to Configure Illusion Temple on MU Online Server

Illusion Temple is a team-based PvP event introduced in Season 3 of MU Online. Two teams of players compete to control a magical orb inside a dimensional temple. This guide covers the complete event configuration for Season 6 Episode 3 servers using MuServer, from .ini files to SQL tables.

Prerequisites

Before starting, confirm your environment meets the requirements:

• MuServer Season 6 Ep. 3 (or version compatible with Illusion Temple)
• SQL Server 2008 or later with the MuOnline database
• EventServer running and connected to GameServer
• Administrator access to the server directories

Step 1 — Enable Illusion Temple in GameServer

Open GameServer/Data/EventConfig.ini and locate or add the following section:

[IllusionTemple]
EnableIllusionTemple = 1
IllusionTempleMaxLevel = 6
MinPlayersToStart = 4

The MinPlayersToStart parameter defines how many total players (both teams combined) are required for the event to begin. The recommended minimum is 4 (2 per team).

Step 2 — Configure Event Schedule

Event schedules for Illusion Temple are defined in GameServer/Data/IGTimetable.ini. Edit the corresponding section:

[IllusionTempleTime]
; Format: HH:MM — registration opening time
IT1Time = 00:00,02:00,04:00,06:00,08:00,10:00,12:00,14:00,16:00,18:00,20:00,22:00
IT2Time = 00:30,02:30,04:30,06:30,08:30,10:30,12:30,14:30,16:30,18:30,20:30,22:30
IT3Time = 01:00,03:00,05:00,07:00,09:00,11:00,13:00,15:00,17:00,19:00,21:00,23:00
IT4Time = 01:30,03:30,05:30,07:30,09:30,11:30,13:30,15:30,17:30,19:30,21:30,23:30
IT5Time = 00:00,04:00,08:00,12:00,16:00,20:00
IT6Time = 02:00,06:00,10:00,14:00,18:00,22:00
RegistrationMinutes = 5
EventDurationMinutes = 15

RegistrationMinutes defines how long registration stays open before the event begins. EventDurationMinutes controls the total match duration.

Step 3 — Configure Event Parameters

Edit GameServer/Data/IGCommon.ini to adjust the internal Illusion Temple parameters:

[IllusionTemple]
MaxUser = 5
; MaxUser = players per team (total players = MaxUser * 2)
BallReturnTime = 30
; BallReturnTime = seconds for the orb to return to center after drop
KillScore = 1
BallScore = 5
WinBonusExp = 500000
LoseBonusExp = 100000
WinBonusZen = 1000000
LoseBonusZen = 200000

Adjust WinBonusExp and WinBonusZen according to your server's experience rates. On servers with 100x EXP or higher, scale these values proportionally to keep the event rewarding and competitive.

Step 4 — Verify Entry Items in the Database

Access to each Illusion Temple level requires a specific entry ticket. Verify they are properly registered in the database:

-- Check for the existence of IT1 through IT6 tickets
SELECT ItemID, ItemName, ItemLevel, RequireLevel
FROM MuOnline.dbo.T_ItemList
WHERE ItemID BETWEEN 7080 AND 7085
ORDER BY ItemID;

If any ticket is missing, insert it manually:

-- Insert Illusion Temple Level 1 ticket (example)
INSERT INTO MuOnline.dbo.T_ItemList
  (ItemID, ItemName, ItemType, ItemLevel, RequireLevel, MaxDurability)
VALUES
  (7080, 'Scroll of Blood Lv1', 14, 0, 10, 1);

Step 5 — Configure Event Rewards in the Database

Event rewards (including item drops for winners and losers) are managed through the rewards table:

-- Check existing Illusion Temple reward entries
SELECT *
FROM MuOnline.dbo.T_EventReward
WHERE EventType = 8
ORDER BY RewardLevel, RewardRank;

-- Update the victory reward for IT1 (Rank 1 = winning team)
UPDATE MuOnline.dbo.T_EventReward
SET ItemID = 7000,
    ItemCount = 1,
    ItemLevel = 0
WHERE EventType = 8
  AND RewardLevel = 1
  AND RewardRank = 1;

EventType = 8 corresponds to Illusion Temple in most Season 6 MuServer builds. Verify this value in your server's source code or documentation if results are unexpected.

Step 6 — Enable Illusion Temple Maps

The Illusion Temple internal maps are referenced in GameServer/Data/MapList.ini. Confirm that maps 45 through 50 are enabled:

; Illusion Temple Maps (45-50)
Map45 = 1  ; IT Level 1
Map46 = 1  ; IT Level 2
Map47 = 1  ; IT Level 3
Map48 = 1  ; IT Level 4
Map49 = 1  ; IT Level 5
Map50 = 1  ; IT Level 6

If any map is set to 0, players will be disconnected when the server attempts to move them into that event map.

Step 7 — Validate EventServer Configuration

In the EventServer/ directory, open EventServer.ini and confirm the communication settings with GameServer:

[GameServer]
GameServerIP = 127.0.0.1
GameServerPort = 55901
ConnectTimeout = 30

[IllusionTemple]
Enable = 1
LogEvents = 1

Restart the EventServer after any changes. You can monitor event activity in EventServer/Logs/EventServer.log.

Step 8 — Test the Event

Use this sequence to test without waiting for the scheduled time:

1. Connect to the database and run:

-- Manually trigger Illusion Temple IT1 registration
UPDATE MuOnline.dbo.T_EventControl
SET EventStatus = 1,
    StartTime = GETDATE()
WHERE EventType = 8
  AND EventLevel = 1;

1. In the MU Online client, bring a character level 10+ to the NPC Mirage (Elf Soldier) in Lorencia (coordinates 174, 146) and attempt to register for the event.

1. Check GameServer/Logs/Event.log for confirmation lines:

[IT] IllusionTemple Level 1 - Registration Open - Players: 0/10
[IT] IllusionTemple Level 1 - Event Started - Team Red: 2 / Team Blue: 2

Troubleshooting

Event does not open at the configured time

• Confirm EventServer is running: check Windows Task Manager or the corresponding Windows service.
• Synchronize server time with an NTP source: run w32tm /resync from an elevated Command Prompt.
• Verify that IGTimetable.ini uses the correct time zone for your server region.

Players are disconnected when entering the event map

• Confirm that the map files AT_Illusion01.bmd through AT_Illusion06.bmd exist in GameServer/Data/Map/.
• Verify maps 45-50 are set to 1 in MapList.ini.

The orb object does not appear in the event map

-- Check orb object registration for each IT level
SELECT ObjectID, ObjectName, MapNumber, PosX, PosY
FROM MuOnline.dbo.T_MonsterList
WHERE ObjectName LIKE '%IllusionBall%';

If this query returns no rows, the orb objects need to be imported from the MonsterList.txt file that corresponds to your Illusion Temple data files.
