The included SQL file usually contains tables like:
| Table | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| account | Login, password hash (MD5 or plaintext in older repacks) |
| character | Avatar stats, TR points, items equipped |
| inventory | Item IDs (referencing itemlist.xml) |
| friend_list | Social features |
| channel_info | Server list | Tales Runner - Private Server Game Files -2-02 Korea
Security risk: Many -2-02 repacks store passwords in plaintext or unsalted MD5 – do not use as-is. The included SQL file usually contains tables like:
| Problem | Likely Cause |
|---------|---------------|
| “Cannot connect to server” | Mismatched client-server version or wrong login port (default: 10001) |
| Crash after character select | Missing map files or corrupted .trc archive |
| SQL errors on startup | Database collation mismatch – Korean builds require Korean_Wansung_CI_AS |
| Items not saving | Stored procedures missing or wrong table schema | | Problem | Likely Cause | |---------|---------------| |
