[Guide] How to set up a private server and making it public

[riley211]

Hi! (i made this myself by the way)

I am going to show you how to a make you're own AC-web repack private server and how to make it public.

creating you're server

First of all you need to download AC ultimate repack
download:AC Web

When it has finished downloading extract the map extractor enGB or enUS (depending on where you live) to the world of warcraft directory usually C:/programfiles/worldofwarcraft
and start the AD.exe and let it do it's magic.
When that has finished you can delete AD.exe from the World of Warcarft directory and put the MAPS folder that into the server directory usually C:/AcwebultimaterepackC:/Acwebultimaterepack and put the maps folder into the ASCENT folder.
You're server is now up and running but it is not public.
If you want to play alone and not have you're server public stop here.
but remember before you go on the server change you're REALMLIST.WTF located in you're world of warcraft directory (C:/programfiles/worldofwarcraft) to "set realmlist 127.0.0.1" but with out the "" of course. to start the server you need to go into you're server files (C:/acwebultimaterepack) and click on CONTROL PANEL when that comes up click server start (the big button in the middle) and four screens should pop up DON'T CLOSE THEM! because you need them up to play on you're server. go on to world of warcraft and logg in with username:admin password:admin and create a character and play!
now lets move on.

Making you're server public

This is the hard bit so if it doesn't work read it again.

ok to start with go to DynDNS -- Dynamic DNS, E-Mail Delivery and Other Services
and create a account. Loggin and Click services then click Dynamic dns and then click get started at the right of the screen.In hostname i suggest putting the name you want you're server to be called and to the right of that you can choose whatever you want. MAKE SURE WILDCARD IS TICKED. For IP address jjust click auto detect IP address. Remember to write down the hostname you put in as we will need it for later. Then click create host. Now go to start then RUN and put in "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc" without the "" and click on HOSTS (open it with notepad) put in at the bottom "(you're external IP address here) (You're DynDns hostname you did earlier here)

e.g 81.194.258.233 Rileywow.servegame.org

To get You're external IP go to IP Chicken - Whats my IP address? ip address lookup


<Realm1 Name = "(whatever you want you're server to be called)"
Address = "(You're external ip):8129"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

Now for the hard bit. go to START then RUN then put in CMD then click ok (a black screen should come up) in the black screen type "ipconfig" without the "" and it should say "default gateway.............: Then some numbers (copy those numbers into you're browser address bar (if it tells you you need a password the password is admin and the user should be admin too). Then go onto the port fowarding page.
and foward ports
8129
8093
3724
3727
80

MUST HAVE ENABLED TICKED!
put TPC and UPC or something like that.
put the ip you used in the address bar if it asks for it.
and click apply changes.

You're server is now public to let other people play give them you're external ip and tell them to put it in thier Realmlist.wtf in their world of warcraft directory.For you to play you do the same.

All credits go to me as it took me about an hour to write all this

[jormun]

[Maniak]

what do you mean "you're browser address bar '' ?

[craigm]

hey great guide i got a silly question..when u get to the inserting ur ip into the browser..is there anyway to find out ur password i dont have a clue what mines is lol

[riley211]

your password should be blank by defult but if not try admin in user if there is one and pass

[Chimpex666]

i dont know what is my pass and i cant let it blank i dont know why and how can i find out?

[Swiftassasin]

Hey, how do you extract the Map Extractor ENUS? I dont know what to do everytime I do anything with it it opens notepad and its a bunch of weird letters and stuff. can you guide me through it?

[dcduo]

Baah i'm very confused, my model is different.

I put in this:

Protocol Port Range Translate To ... Trigger Protocol Trigger Port



TCP 3727 - 8129 3727 - 8129 UDP 80


as you can see its probably wrong, if anyone can point out to me what to do i'd be greatly appreciative.

Dont ask for +Rep

Technically, he didn't ask for rep. He just put the little rep sign at the end of his guide. He hever actually said the words "Please give +Rep"

I did all this and my server is running fine, Only when it comes to this part:

<LogonServer RemotePassword = "****"
AllowedIPs = "192.168.1.1/32"
AllowedModIPs = "192.168.1.1/32">

Now... Ive tryed my real IP that i use for my server and website. Ive tried Hamachi, and yet nothing works! Now if some1 could actual figure out how u get around the AllowedIPs thing in order to actually have a PUBLIC SERVER! Id +rep them! HELP!!!!
