Help Getting Started with WoD Modding?

(1/4) > >>

Hi, Modcraftians!

I recently found myself with a burning interest in getting started with modding WoD. Turns out that this was, at least to me, significantly more complicated than I had envisioned.

I managed to get a hold of a full client of WoD 6.2.4, provided via mega.nz in a post on this very site. After that, I promptly headed over to the venerable Mr. DK's series of tutorials on how to get started. Now, maybe I'm a complete simpleton, but I've spent a respectable chunk of this weekend getting it to work as he describes it in his posts, without success. Clearly, with the brain, tools, and instructions at my disposal, I've been unable to make any true headway.

So, before I tear my hair out in frustration, I thought to reach out to the Modcraft community. Hopefully, someone reading this knows what to do, and hopefully, that person feels inclined to share his/her insight with me!

Bottom line:
With access to a full client of WoD 6.2.4:

* What tools will I need? (As of now, 05/02/2018)
* How do I go about using these programs to get it all working properly?
I am so excited about getting this to work, and I've got some amazing ideas I want to set in motion!

What part of the tutorials didn’t work?
What do you want to achieve?

1. Well, I'm not entirely sure. I had difficulties with several of the steps. When I got to the point where I was supposed to start up the bnet- and worldserver.exe's, they crashed immediately on startup. Based on what I'd read from the guide, and on what results I'd been getting, I couldn't really tell what the problem was.

2. I want to set up a moddable private server for WoD 6.2.4 so I can start messing around with class specializations, making new ones, altering, etc.

So you have problems with this tutorial part?

What windows do you use. Is it 64 bit?

Correct. Although, that was just the first hardline obstacle I encountered, as in, a point where I just couldn't find a way to make it work. I don't know if it's complaining because something from earlier in the process wasn't done correctly.

Yes, 64-bit, Windows 10.
