It's Done, For Real!!!

Information
In this guide there will be explained how to set up a WoW Server.
Yes, it is copied from the guide of grandmst20, but I have updated it.
If you find some faults in it, or have suggestions for it, please pm them to me.

Requirements
1.
2. (For importing) and (For editing, optional)
3.
4. ArcEmu Compile:






1. Do this first
- Create a WoW server folder. Create in that folder 2 folder: Emulator & Database.
- Extract the Arcemu and POTD to your server folder.
- Extract ad.exe directly to your WoW Client Folder.
- Extract the DBC Extractor Files into your WoW Client, then Data then enUS (or whatever language you use).

2. Setting up the MySQL Server
- Run the executable you downloaded from the requirements.
- Choose Typical as the setup type.
- Install the program.
- When it's done installing, make sure Configure the MySQL Server now box is checked.
- Choose Standard Configuration.
- Check Install As Windows Service.
- On the security settings, check Modify Security Settings and enter whatever you want as the password.
- Hit Next, then Execute, then Finish.

3. Importing the Databases
- Install SQLyog.
- Once it's installed, open SQLyog.
- Choose New....
- Set Type Server as your connection name and hit Enter.
- MySQL Host Adress should be localhost.
- Username should be root.
- Password should be whatver you have chosen during the MySQL Installation.
- Now press Connect and you are in!
- Create three databases: One called database another one called logon and another called character.
- Right click on the character database and click Restore From SQL Dump.
- Find the character database I provided. It can be found in the ArcEmu folder under sql. Choose it, and click Execute.
- Do the same but then for the logon database.
- Now it's time for the world database. Go to the POTD folder. There is a README.
- Open the Readme, follow the instructions, and it should come all good...

4. Configuring the ArcEmu Files for LAN&WAN
- There will be three files that you need to edit: world.conf, logon.conf, and realms.conf. optional.conf is to change things to a non-blizzlike server, but i won't help you with that.
- Open world.conf with Notepad. Everything that needs to be edited is in red.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE CONFIGS ARE A EXAMPLE, SO DO NOT COPY/PASTE THESE CONFIGS!

*        Amount of hours needed to get one Bubble rested XP ( one bubble is 5% of the complete XP bar)
*        Default is 8 hrs rest for one bubble. Raising this rate causes RestedXP to be earned faster,
*        F.e, setting a rate of 2 makes you require only 4 hrs reesting for 1 bubble (instead of 8).
*        Note that resting in a resting area (Zzz) goes 4 times faster.
*        Default: 1 (bubble every 8 hrs)
*
*    Drop(Color):
*        These values will be multiplied by the drop percentages of the items for creatures
*        to determine which items to drop. All default to 1.

*        of each quality group. 
*

*
*    Save:

*        Default: 300000 (5 minutes)
* 
*    SkillChance:
*        The chance that you have to level up a skill in melee or a profession is multiplied
*        by this value.
*        Default: 1
*
*    SkillRate:
*        The amount of "levels" your skill goes up each time you gain a level is multiplied

*	To make your server public and for you to be able to connect to it, please read this entirely.
*
*
* We added two more realms to the default, why? Because of how internal networking works - each outside IP to your IP needs a connection to listen on for players/you to be able to log into.
* This issue came up alot and MANY poorly written guides also came up with modifications to the host list in windows and a bunch of other fallacies.
* Using these new "three realm" configs you don't have to follow any guides but this one.
*
*	<Realm1 Name = "My Realm Name"
*		Address = "internet-url-or-ip:8129" 
*		Icon = "PVP"
*		Population = "1.0"
*		TimeZone = "2">

*	<Realm2 Name = "Private"

*
*	<Realm3 Name = "Localhost"
*		Address = "localhost:8129" 
*		Icon = "PVP"
*		Population = "1.0"
*		TimeZone = "1">
*	
*	EXPLANATION:
*
*	These three realms are all one realm, all making different listening IPs so others may log into the world.
*
*	Realm1 is the public realm, people outside of your network log into this.
*
*	Realm2 is the IP of the computer hosting the server. It will most commonly be a 192.168.*.* IP. NOT YOUR OUTSIDE/INTERNET IP. This is so other computers in your local arena network can connect to the realm.
*
*	Realm3 is the localhost connection, you will be using this to log into your server if you host and login to the server from the SAME computer.
*
*	Realmlist would then be the IP that is suitable for you to use in your setup, players will use the realm1 URL - while you use either realm2 or realm3 depending on the server setup.
*
*	You can cleanup the unused realms you made while doing this process if you have any, however even if you use a Realm3 type configuration to login, remember local network users on the same LAN as you will use Realm2 to login. 
*
*	To obtain your LAN IP address on:
* Windows = windows-key+r > type "cmd" > type "ipconfig" > under "IPV4 Address:"
* Linux = terminal > type "ifconfig" > under eth0's "inetaddr:"
*	To obtain your INTERNET IP:
* Go to: http://www.whatsmyip.org/
* Foward ports: 3724 (Realmlist) and 8129 (World) 
* If you add more outside(public) realms remember that their world ports need forwarding too.
*
* 	Timezone values :

5. Final Steps

NOW OPEN THE REQUIRED PORTS IN YOUR FIREWALL AND ROUTER/MODEM AND FIRE THOSE THINGS UP! GOOD LUCK!!!
I can't help you with the firewall and router/modem settings because there are too much different systems.

Re: [Ascent] Very Easy Setup Guide [29-04-08]

nah wasnt it but I fixed it... anyway now when I load up and log in it wont load the realm. the realm shows on the realm list but it wont let me get into it. any ideas?

I can click on it on the realm on the list and it just stalls at Conncected.

*UPDATE

After spamming the realm on the realmlist to see what would happen, I did actually get to the character create. Then when I entered a name and clicked create It just disconnects me.

Re: [Ascent] Very Easy Setup Guide [29-04-08]

This guide needs to be updated I think.

The tools bat file needs to be changed, and you don't need the logon db.

The ascent-world/-logon look in character db for account info, not the logon. So you need to run the logon.sql script in the character db instead of logon.

This is just what I've found so far, I haven't really done anything else besides login, so I'm not sure if there are some things this will break though xD

Re: [Ascent] Very Easy Setup Guide [29-04-08]

well actually it doesnt matter. You can change where the logon looks for the database...

just change the logon.conf to logon instead of character for which db it should use.

Re: [Ascent] Very Easy Setup Guide [29-04-08]

6. Maps
- Copy and paste ad.exe to your wow client folder, and run it.
- It will make a folder named maps. Copy the folder maps into your server folder.
- Create a folder named vmaps in your WoW server folder.
- Now run vmapextract_v2.exe
- After vmapextract_v2.exe is done, runvmap_assembler.exe
- These two processes can take some time.

I've followed everything exactly as stated, however when I get to this part I can't seem to find ad.exe Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Ascent] Very Easy Setup Guide [29-04-08]

Here is why you get a page full with errors
at the start of this guide you have to make 2 DB in SQL named "character" and "world" this is not ok.
when you restore "whyDB" it will make 2 DB 1 called "characters" and 2nd "ascent_world".
you can fix this error like this:
when you modify "ascent-logonserver.conf" and "ascent-world.conf" write "characters" insted of "character" and "ascent_world" inted of "world"
Thats it.

Hey, is this how to Compile your own Server? If not, does anybody know where I can find a Guide/Tutorial on that? :(

This is how to set up your own server, with pre-compiled files.

If i have some time left, i will make a guide on how to compile things yourself.
I can advice you to search youtube for video tutorials.

Good luck!

If you use the WhyDB I provide then this is already changed.
Yeah if you use the files of others, then it is your choice :)

I make a guide for easy setup, and also pre-set some stuff so it'll be less work for yah guys...

Here is why you get a page full with errors
at the start of this guide you have to make 2 DB in SQL named "character" and "world" this is not ok.
when you restore "whyDB" it will make 2 DB 1 called "characters" and 2nd "ascent_world".
you can fix this error like this:
when you modify "ascent-logonserver.conf" and "ascent-world.conf" write "characters" insted of "character" and "ascent_world" inted of "world"
Thats it.
