Guide created for The Forgotten Server 0.2 (Mystic Spirit)
First of all, to make it clear, this guide is created with the database-structure of TFS 0.2 and PHPMyAdmin in mind,
if you use another server revision or another database manager, this guide may or may not work for you.
It was also created with the assumption that you are using plaintext passwords, and havent changed the "a god"-group, if you use md5 or sha1 passwords, or have changed the name of the "a god"-group, this guide wont work for you.
[WARNING!]
This tutorial will help you create a GM/GOD account and character on your server.
It should ONLY be used to create accounts/characters for people who you trust, since the GM/GOD character created will be able to execute ALL server commands!
[WARNING!]

============================
Step 1.
First of all, log in on your PHPMyAdmin. Obviously since you have set up the database, you know how to do this, so this will not be explained.
Now, make sure you select the database that you use for your server, the most commonly used name would be "otserv".
You simply do this by clicking on the link in the leftmost part of the browser, as illustrated on this image:
Now, in the center of the screen, you should see a tab named "SQL":
Click on it.
Now, you should be in the part where you execute queries, and are now ready to proceed to step 2.
Step 2.
Okay, first of all, select the code in the codebox below, and copy it:
Now paste it into a texteditor of your choice, notepad works excellently.
And now we edit the variables....
#--- Account Number of the GM/GOD Account ---
SET @acc = 123456;
#--------------------------------------------
This is the account number for your GM/GOD character's account, change the number to whatever account number you want the character to have.
#------ Password of the GM/GOD Account ------
SET @pass = "PASSWORD";
#--------------------------------------------
This is the password for the GM/GOD character's account, change the text inside of the double quotes (" ") to whatever password you want.
#------- Name of the GM/GOD Character -------
SET @name = "GM CHARACTER NAME";
#--------------------------------------------
This is the GM/GOD characters name, change the text inside of the double quotes (" ") to whatever name you want on the character.
# --- Coordinates where the character will spawn ---
SET @posx = 1000;
SET @posy = 1000;
SET @posz = 7;
#---------------------------------------------------
This is the coordinates at which your GM/GOD character will spawn when you first log in. It is suggested that you change it to your temple position, so that you can log in on it.
And now we are done with the hard part, and can proceed to step 3.
Step 3.
As the final step, make sure you copy the text in your text editor by pressing CTRL + A to select it all, and then iether rightclick on it and choose "Copy" from the menu, or press CTRL + C.
Now, go to the PHPMyAdmin, and paste the text into the textbox, like this:
And then press the "Go" button:
Now, the site should refresh, and show a green bar stating that the query was successful:
if you use another server revision or another database manager, this guide may or may not work for you.
