<h1>Mabinogi Hotkey Server</h1>

<p>For when mabiui.nexon.net is down.</p>

<p>These instructions are written for Windows 10. If you're not running Windows 10, I feel bad for you.</p>

<p>These instructions and this software come with no guarantee or support. Use at your own risk.</p>

<h2>Setup</h2>

<ol>
<li>In the Cortana menu, search cmd</li>
<li>Right-click Command Prompt and Run as administrator</li>
<li>Type this in the console: <code>echo 127.0.0.1 mabiui.nexon.net &gt;&gt; C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts</code></li>
<li>Install the latest Python 3 release from <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/">here</a></li>
<li>Double-click <code>hotkey-server.py</code></li>
<li>A console window should appear that says <code>Started local hotkey server...</code> if one does not you screwed something up.</li>
</ol>

<p>The server must be running before you enter a game server in Mabinogi <em>every time</em>.</p>

<h2>Tear down</h2>

<p>When <code>mabiui.nexon.net</code> is back up you need to remove the entry from your hosts file that we did.</p>

<ol>
<li>In the Cortana menu, search notepad</li>
<li>Right-click Notepad and Run as administrator</li>
<li>Go to File -> Open and in the <code>File name</code> field at the bottom of the window, paste the path <code>C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts</code></li>
<li>The last line of your file will say <code>127.0.0.1 mabiui.nexon.net</code></li>
<li>Delete that line only</li>
<li>File -> Save</li>
</ol>

<p>You should be able to connect to the official server again.</p>
