[GUIDE] Running an Antrix Server - STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR DUMMIES (LOT OF IMAGES)

[ATTILA888]

Ok, since i've joined this section of ragezone forum, about 4-5 days ago, i saw so many people asking for help and always the same 2-3 people trying to help.
Well, i hope to help everyone who still doesn't know how to run a server with this guide.

First of all, you will require some files.
MySQL 5.0.41 Essenitals
SQLyog Comunity 6.02
Antrix Core rev290
TerraNet DB rev4
2.1.0 Maps
2.1.0 DBC
(You can also use newer or older versions, but i can't guarantee the compatibility with this guide, so try at your own risk.)

NOTE: To make everything easier, i've made a TerraNet DB rev4 ready to use, wich already includes all missing tables and fixes released by Angel of TerraNet Staff. I hope that TerraNet Staff won't kick my ass for this, in case i'll remove the link :biggrin2:

Ok, now that you have all the necessary files, let's begin! :)

1) Extract the files in your Antrix folder
Extract Antrix Core rev290, 2.1.0 Maps, 2.1.0 DBC and TerraNet DB rev4 in the same folder. Put the database in a sub folder called "sql".
Keep this structure - (click to see the image)

2) Install MySQL 5.0.41 Essentials
As already described in Karnage's guide, you will need to use all typical settings. So:
a) Open the MySQL 5.0.41 Essentials installer and click "Next" - (click to see the image)
b) Choose "Typical" and click "Next" - (click to see the image)
c) Click "Install" - (click to see the image)
d) After installation, click "Next" twice, till the last tab of this wizard.
e) Check the option "Configure the MySQL Server now" and click "Finish" - (click to see the image)
f) Just click "Next" - (click to see the image)
g) Choose "Standard Configuration" and click "Next" - (click to see the image)
h) Check the options "Install As Windows Service" and "Launche the MySQL Service automatically", then click "Next" - (click to see the image)
i) Check "Modify Security Settings" and fill the root password cells, then click "Next" - (click to see the image)
j) Just click "Execute" - (click to see the image]
k) Check that everything gone well and then click "Finish" - (click to see the image)

3) Install SQLyog Comunity 6.02
a) Start the SQLyog Comunity 6.02 installer and click "Next" - (click to see the image)
b) Check "I accept the terms in the License Agreement", then click "Next" - (click to see the image)
c) Select your favorite options, then click "Next" - (click to see the image)

f) Check "Run SQLyog Comunity 6.02" and click "Finish" - (click to see the image)
g) Just click "Continue..." - (click to see the image)
h) Fill the Password cell with your MySQL root password (the password is the one you used during MySQL 5.0.41 Essentials configuration), then click "Connct" - (click to see the image)
i) Agree and save your password in SQLyog connection manager - (click to see the image)
j) Right click on "root@localhost" and select "Create Database..." - (click to see the image)
k) Put "antrix" (without quotes) anc click "Create" - (click to see the image)
l) Right click on "antrix" and select "Restore From SQL Dump..." - (click to see the image)
m) Browse your "sql" folder and select the databse "TerraNet rev4 RTU.sql". Click "Open" then "Execute" - (click to see the image)
NOTE: This operation could take a LONG time, depending on your settings and your machine. Anyway with default settings and a mediium machine it required 36 minutes to me.
n) When the import is completed succesfully, click "Close" - (click to see the image)
o) Click on "Refresh Object Browser" (the upper icon with a red circle), then select "accounts" table in your "antrix" databse. Now click on "Table Data" (the icon with a red ellipse) and you will see your "accounts" table data - (click to see the image)

5) Run the server
a) If you have any router or firewall, be sure to foreward the following ports:
3306, 3724, 8093 and 8129.
I'm not sure about all of them, so i suggest to foreward them both in TCP and UDP.
b) Run Logonserver.exe
c) Run Antrix.exe

If you did everything correctly, you will see this:


Ok, now the server is running... but we must try it, so don't close it (of course) and open your client!



Hope that could help someone :)

Antrix Core rev290:
Antri Project and Antrix Project comunity, wich also helps as much as possible on the development of always better cores.

TerraNet DB rev4: Onemore (quest fixes), Resinate (range fixex, size fixes, a lot of others), ollee (for submitting bunch of fixes), Project Silvermoon (support and fixes), Antrix Project (for spending a good time there), TerraNet WoW Comunity (for everything you see here)

Maps: Karnage (oh well, i've downloaded this maps from Karnage's guide, he/she didn't gave credits to anyone else, so i guess it is his/her work)

DBC: Same as above, thanks Karnage

[darkid11]

I Do not need it but RALLY Rally nice, thanks.

[papari]

W8ing for the Teranet DB link :)

[ATTILA888]

I Do not need it but RALLY Rally nice, thanks.

It required a lot of time to make it... i had to disinstall the programs, reinstall, reimport, screen everythin, host the images... well.. you can guess... so thanks :)

Teranet DB link is missing

Must i quote myself?
Ok:

NOTE: To make evrything easier, i've made a TerraNet DB rev4 ready to use, wich already includes all missing tables and fixes released by Angel of TerraNet Staff. I will add it to this guide as soon as i will upload it, but i'm at home atm, so i have only 32kb/s of upload... damn italian connections :biggrin2:

[sintech]

*patiently waits* for Teranet DB :)

[ATTILA888]

I'm testing it, because after almost 45 minutes of making the sql dump and 30 more minutes of uploading, it was corrupt.
So now, i've tried with navicat to make an sql dump, but it gave me an error.
Ok, made backup, then extracted the sql dump from the backup.
Now i'm restoring this sql dump and testing it, too see if it works...
Pretty long work xD

Anyway stay tuned, i think it could be online in less than 1 hour :)

[sintech]

you can dooooo it

[ATTILA888]

And so i did :)
Link removed

(also first post updated)
If you find any error wich is database-related, please, contact me.
I'll try to fix it as fast as possible.

[sintech]

running great so far :) is tier 1-6 in here

[ATTILA888]

Yup, there are tier sets, but i didn't played enough to tell if there are also tier vendors.

[lilvon]

ATTILA is there t6??

[lilvon]

how do i set it up for hamachi?

[ATTILA888]

About T6, yes, there are all T6 sets (me and some friends just killed Illidan xD)
To set it up for hamachi, in realms.conf change your external ip with your hamachi ip, that's all.

[lilvon]

k ty alot :) and when i went to blacktemple u kno the .recall port illidan ports u to him he wasnt there :( is there a reason why

[lilvon]

o ya if u wann akno how to make weps go to Weapon Creator - WoW Vendetta: Wage Your War all u do is make it and then d/l the batch file and import it into ur db and then refresh ur db then refresh ur server and ull have it :)
