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

ATTILA888 · Jun 16, 2007

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.

To view the content, you need to sign in or register

TerraNet DB rev4

To view the content, you need to sign in or register

(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".

To view the content, you need to sign in or register

2) Install MySQL 5.0.41 Essentials
As already described in Karnage's guide, you will need to use all typical settings. So:

d) After installation, click "Next" twice, till the last tab of this wizard.

3) Install SQLyog Comunity 6.02

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.

#
#   Default: 180
#

ConnectionTimeout = 180


# MapMgr Preloading
#
#    This directive controls whether the entire world will be spawned at server startup

Startup.BackgroundLootLoading = 1


# Multithreaded Startup

Realm1.TimeZone      = 1

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

~CREDITS~

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

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 · Jun 16, 2007

*patiently waits* for Teranet DB

ATTILA888 · Jun 16, 2007

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 · Jun 16, 2007

you can dooooo it

ATTILA888 · Jun 16, 2007

And so i did

I'll try to fix it as fast as possible.

sintech · Jun 16, 2007

running great so far

is tier 1-6 in here

ATTILA888 · Jun 16, 2007

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

lilvon · Jun 17, 2007

ATTILA is there t6??

lilvon · Jun 17, 2007

how do i set it up for hamachi?

ATTILA888 · Jun 17, 2007

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 · Jun 17, 2007

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 · Jun 17, 2007

o ya if u wann akno how to make weps go to

When i used recall command to go to illidan, it teleported me OUTSIDE the temple.
I did all the way, killed everything (GM cheat mode rocks! xD). There were two bosses. Supremus (almost impossible to hit magically) and at the end of the stairs, over the highest room of the temple... there were Illidan Stormrage - The Betrayer.

Me and a friend killed him

Actually he's incomplete (no spells, no flying, no scale increasing when in rage), but it's here

It's been difficult to kill, also with god mode...
We made a vid with fraps, just for fun

Here's a pic:

Kiraya it's me, my priest, my frind was Bruttina, orc shaman.
We killed illidan in about 1 hour or less...

pedwily · Jun 17, 2007

Someone told me that you need a Windows server only to run an antrix server. Is this true?

sintech · Jun 17, 2007

i know this might sound dum but how do u get other people to connect to ur server...ok i have my friend in the game but it says he has to have bc to get to outland but he has bc what do i do? oh and he has the latest patches

eple · Jun 17, 2007

Haha really nice ;D

When you created his account did you set his flag at 8?
If he made the account by himself (website) you must be sure that your website support tbc, or your friend did wrong durin signup and didn't selected "tbc account".

Anyway, some antrix core (my guide use rev290 wich DOESN'T) needs to be configured also in a conf file.

If i have a good memory, in antrix.conf there is a row like tihis:
AllowExpansionRaces = 0
Set it to 1 and you're done.
