How to make a ascent 2.3.0 server (Made By Golanka)

[golanka]

Requirements

1. MySQL Server 5.1

2. SQLyog 6.1 (For importing) and Navicat 8 (For editing, optional)

3. Ascent Compile: Ascent Server Files

4. Character Database: Ascent Server Files

5. World Database: Ascent Server Files

6. 2.2.3 or 2.3.0 Maps (Ascent Server Files): You can download the ones I have prepacked which are for enUS, or you can use the map extractor in the Ascent Compile to extract your own. If you are extracting your own skip down to Extracting Your Own Maps.

7. 2.2.3 or 2.3.0 DBC: Included in all of the Ascent Compiles.

1. 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.

2. Importing the Databases

- Install SQLyog. Navicat is optional since it's mainly used for editing, but SQLyog is necessary.
- Once it's installed, open SQLyog.
- Create two databases: One called world and another called character.
- Right click on the character database and click Restore From SQL Dump.
- Find the character database I provided, choose it, and click Execute.
- Now it's time for the world database. Go into the world folder you downloaded. There will be a batch file called Tool.
- Right click the file and select Edit.
- There will be two things that you must change: username, passwd.
- Change username to root.
- Change passwd to whatever you made it in the MySQL setup.
- Save the file and run it.
- It will ask for a letter to do an option, type w to import the database.
- After it is done, close the program.

3. Configuring the Ascent Files [LAN]

- There will be three files that you need to edit: ascent.conf, logonserver.conf, and realms.conf.
- Open ascent.conf with Notepad. Everything that needs to be edited is in red.

- Change host to localhost.
- Change username to root.
- Change passwd to the password you set for the MySQL server.
- Change the top database to world.
- Change the bottom database to character.
- Delete the first die directive. (<die msg="I am a newb who didn't even read half my config file!">).
- Change the remote password change_me_world to whatever you want.
- Delete the second die directive. ( <die2 msg="I read nearly all my config file, but not the whole thing!">).
- Delete frFR=enGB. Should now appear like this: <Localization LocaleBindings="">.

- Change host to localhost.
- Change user to root.
- Change pass to the password you set for the MySQL server.
- Change dbname to character.
- Change the Max Build from 6739 to 9999. This will eliminate future version errors.
- Change the remote password change_me_world to the same thing you made it in ascent.conf.

- Open realms.conf with Notepad. Everything that needs to be edited is in red.

- Change Test Realm to whatever you want your server name to be.
- Change 127.0.0.1 to your computer's Internal IP.

4. Configuring the Ascent Files [Internet]

- Visit DynDNS and create an account.
- Go to Services, then Dynamic DNS, then Get Started (link is on the right).
- Type in what you want your hostname to be and then pick a domain.
- Check the wildcard option.
- Under IP address, copy the one that they auto detect.
- Click Create Host.
- Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ and open HOSTS with Notepad.
- Put this in at the bottom:

Code:
127.0.0.1 (Dynamic DNS)(Internal IP) (Dynamic DNS)(External IP) (Dynamic DNS)
The Dynamic DNS is the name of the host you just created. Example: test.ath.cx
The Internal IP is the IP of your computer. To check this go to Start > Run > Type cmd then once Command Prompt is open, type ipconfig /all.
The External IP is the IP that was auto detected by DynDNS.

Example:

Code:
127.0.0.1 test.ath.cx192.168.1.100 test.ath.cx123.12.12.12 test.ath.cx
- Go to your router and forward these ports:

Code:
3724 - 372480 - 80 3306 - 3306 8129 - 81298093 - 80936112 - 61126881 - 69993036 - 3036 8050 - 8050
- Follow the instructions for setting up a LAN server for ascent.conf and logonserver.conf.
- Open realms.conf with Notepad. Everything that needs to be edited is in red.

- Change Test Realm to whatever you want your server name to be.
- Change 127.0.0.1 to your Dynamic DNS.

5. Extracting Your Own Maps

- If you downloaded the prepack of maps, then simple extract them and copy the folder maps into your server directory.
- If you wish to extract your own, make a new folder in your WoW directory called maps, and copy the file ad_enUS.exe from the folder called ad.exe in your server directory to your WoW directory.
- Once you've done that, run ad_enUS.exe and let it complete. It will take around 10-30 minutes depending on your machine.
- When it's done the folder should be about 942MB and contain 70 files.
- After that, copy the maps folder from your WoW directory into your server directory.

6. Creating Accounts

- Open SQLyog or Navicat.
- Go to the character database, then go to the accounts table.
- Input your information.
- If you want the account to be a GM, type AZ under gm. If you want the account to be used for Burning Crusade, type 8 under flags. (Default is 0, which is WoW only)

7. Connecting to the Server [LAN]

- Go to your WoW root directory and open the file realmlist.wtf with Notepad.
- Delete the contents and put this in: set realmlist (Your Internal IP).

8. Connecting to the Server [Internet]

- Go to your WoW root directory and open the file realmlist.wtf with Notepad.
- Delete the contents and put this in: set realmlist (Your Dynamic DNS).

9. Using Two Realms

- Make an exact copy of your working Ascent server. (Everything: Maps, DBC, etc.)
- Create two more databases for the second realm, named however you want. (For example: Realm 1 uses world and character, Realm 2 uses world2 and character2.)
- In the new server, open ascent.conf with Notepad. Use the same things as before but change the things in red.


Code:
<WorldDatabase Hostname = "host" Username = "username" Password = "passwd" Name = "database" Port = "3306" Type = "1"><CharacterDatabase Hostname = "host" Username = "username" Password = "passwd" Name = "database" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
- Change host to localhost.
- Change username to root.
- Change passwd to the password you set for the MySQL server.
- Change the top database to the name of the world database you setup for the second realm.
- Leave the bottom database the same as the other.

- In the new server, open realms.conf with Notepad. Everything that needs to be edited is in red.

- Change Test Realm to whatever you want your server name to be.
- Change 127.0.0.1 to your Dynamic DNS.
- Change 8129 to 8128.

10. Updating your Database

- Download the SQL Updates from my Server Files thread.
- Each file states what revision it is needed for and what database it belongs in. For example: Character - Accounts (2075), The database it uses is the character database, and the revisions that need it are 2075 and above.
- Run each SQL update the same way that you imported the databases.

11. Updating your Ascent Core

- If you wish to update your Ascent Core, download the newest revision from this thread, repacked by me, compiled by qweriel.
- Then, copy ascent.conf, logonserver.conf, realms.conf, and the maps folder to the new revision folder you downloaded and overwrite the existing files.
