First of all, have you read all the pages about other people making mega-builds, cuz it's gonna take a god damn long time.

Second, there are many ways to create a server, first you must choose what core you want to use, I would suggest 'Trinity Core' or 'Arc Emu', though I'm not an expert that is what I believe good, and also what I have seen people on this forum write about (some prefer 'Trinity Core' some 'Arc Emu').

I have also thought about making something like this, though I don't think I would finish it if I began.
Also I'm running vista and that have proven a bit problematic until I found out about the compatibility mode.

If you need any advise, I'd like you help you if I can.

I use arcemu. The first step to get into modding IS to setup a testserver. How will you test your mids else :)

http://arcemu.org/ (http://arcemu.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

also you can run a precompiled for testing but try compile it for yourself. Its not to hard.

3.3.5a is one of the places wow automatically patches to, just be sure to check the downloader once in a while, it will try to patch from 3.3.5a to 4.1 (or something like that), just stop it at that point, and be sure to use Wow.exe next time you open the game

Post by: Jøk3r on December 30, 2010, 12:41:46 am
It wants to load 3.01 to 4.0.0.
When i am at home i will install the game from the cd ^^

I downloaded the ArcEmu One click server and got two errors about two dll's.
I could fix the first dll error but the second error still exist. It says that the msvcp100.dll could not be found.
I searched in google for help but didn't found anything.

Can someone help me?

Sorry, i've forgotten something^^

I've already tried this dll and it's the same as before. It says that the dll could not be found.

You have put it in the wrong directory then.
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: Jøk3r on January 24, 2011, 09:04:26 pm
In witch directory do i have to put it?
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: Steff on January 25, 2011, 09:13:30 am
Install this:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/d ... laylang=en (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=A7B7A05E-6DE6-4D3A-A423-37BF0912DB84&displaylang=en" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

This also set your system path.

Today i tried to set up a server by compiling it myself but i couldn't handle it.
Can someone give me a link to a precompiled server? :|
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: Steff on May 02, 2011, 07:34:42 pm
No. I dont use precompiled :)

What is your problem?
- Download Arcemu from SVN
- Install Visual Studio c++ Express
- Open the VS 2010 project and press compile.

Done.

Then the configuration steps follow.

I'm stuckin at the database setup/getting world database.

Post by: Jøk3r on May 02, 2011, 10:25:15 pm
Sorry i was a bit busy and now i'll go sleep.
I will discribe my problem tomorow a bit mor detailed.
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: Jøk3r on May 03, 2011, 05:21:12 pm
Here the page i used: http://arcemu.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page (http://arcemu.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

I followed every step at "Getting started" until databse setup. I have created the three databeses (arc_characters; arc_logon and arc_world) and i batched the characters and logon database. Next step is to get the world database. I just batched the db wich I found in arcemusource/sql directory. After that i had to switch to the logon db to create an administrator account but the db is empty. Characters and world db are also empty :|
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: schlumpf on May 03, 2011, 05:43:36 pm
You should have got an error when starting the script.
Most likely you need to "use" the matching database first.
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: Jøk3r on May 03, 2011, 05:56:18 pm
O_O I started Navicat and opened the databases and they aren't empty O_O
I am 100% per cent sure that they were empty yesterday :o

Well, I'll go ahead setting up my server and if I have some problems again I will post it here.

And thanks so far for your help :)
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: Jøk3r on May 03, 2011, 06:28:06 pm
So i finished every step and wantet to start the server so i startet arcemu-world.exe and got an error.
Here is the world-error.log:

http://pastebin.com/kpKrqzZe (http://pastebin.com/kpKrqzZe" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Maybe i just used the wrong databases?
Maybe someone can upload the english databases for 3.3.5.12340 :D
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: schlumpf on May 03, 2011, 07:27:56 pm
[18:47][Arcemu]Could not open configs/world.conf.

Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: Jøk3r on May 03, 2011, 07:37:15 pm
Fuck!! I'm sorry. I just looked at the big error warning :|


Edit: I fixed that config issue and now i got still that dbc error
        http://pastebin.com/ZAPHApFr (http://pastebin.com/ZAPHApFr" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
       I think I have the wrong dbc's. I will read trought the steps again :|

Post by: Jøk3r on August 18, 2011, 01:37:50 pm
First of al, i didn't want to make a new topic so is used this one^^

After a while i decided to start again with world building, so i reinstalled wow and wanted to set up a server.

Yesterday i was unable to connect to the realmlist server but after some config changes i had fixed this problem.
(After that i wasn't able to connect because my account had the wotlk expansion but i don't have wotlk installed o_O --->i changed the account to tbc and will reinstall wow, so this won't be a problem.)

After changeing my account I could connect but if i want to create a character I get disconnectet from the server. What should i do now?

(and sorry if my english is to bad :|)

Clear cash and WTF and try again.
Net read the error logs of the server.
Try to turn off windows desktop firewall. If this wrk add world and logon.exe to the firewall.
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: Jøk3r on August 19, 2011, 01:06:57 am
I think you have meaned cache so i cleared cache and WTF andturned off the firewall but sill doesn't work :|
And i checked the server logs, but there are no entrys.
But i have took a look at the arcemu-world.exe and found that:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37 ... error.jpg/ (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/arcworldexeerror.jpg/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

look at the bottom of the log.
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: Jøk3r on August 19, 2011, 01:43:34 am
I've just recognized that all the tables are empty -.-!!!!!
Will look for an update or something like that..
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: schlumpf on August 19, 2011, 07:09:57 am
So why don't you do whats written there, then? Update your playercreateinfo table in the database.

Most likely you don't have anything in your database.
Title: Re: WoW Server build
Post by: Jøk3r on August 19, 2011, 01:49:47 pm
As I have wrote already, i will update the whole database but so far i don't know how. google is my friend .

And sorry for my stupidity.

Edit: I've downloaded WhyDB and executed all the sql files into the world database and now i can create a char and login but no npcs are spawned, the whole world is empty :|
But now i can start again world buidling..

Edit2: I looked again at the WhyDB source and now I have a complete working 3.3.5a ArcEmu server :D
