Compiling Skyfire Emu for Cataclysm 4.0.6a

[Found]

Hello MMOwned. I've decided to return to the emulation scene and I wanted to give back to the community for all of the help I've received over the years! That being Said I'd like to get started with this guide. Thank you for reading; and I hope it helps you in some way!

Table of Contents:

I. General Information
II. Downloads Required
III. Compiling the core
IV. Fetching the Database and installing it!
V. How to go public!

Lets get started!

I. General Information

In this guide you will learn how to get the core files for SkyFireEmu and learn how to compile them for your own personal server, and have the satisfaction of knowing, and having a server you've made on your own.

This guide is aimed towards people who have never done this before, which is why I will have MULTIPLE pictures for you to view as you work your way through the process.

Everything that is important. Will be highlited for the sake of the guide being easy to read and comprehend! So without further adieu lets get started with the tutorial!

II. Downloads Required

Git:
Git Extentions
Visual Studio 2010 Express (no 64 bit support):
Cmake:
Open SSL:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
Heidi SQL


These downloads you MUST have to compile the server without error.


II. Compiling the Core

Make two new folders on your desktop, Skyfire Emu and Build.



Right click your Skyfire Emu folder and go up to git extentions. Hover over it, and move to clone.



Once you open it you should have a screen that looks like so:



Hit OK at the bottom of the window.

Once you hit ok this window should load. Fill in the following as I say.




Repository to clone: https://github.com/SkyFire/SkyFireEMU/
Destination: Location of your Skyfire Emu folder. Mine is C:/Users/administrator/desktop/SkyFireEmu/
Sub Directory to create: Leave Blank
Branch: Nothing

Personal repository: YES

hit clone, and wait for this to show up on your window.



Hit OK.


Now that this is done, open up cmake ( you should've downloaded this from the link I gave at the start of the tutorial).

You should be prompted with this window.



as it says in the photo, make sure you fill out the directories at the top of the window correctly. Then hit CONFIGURE

When the screen pops up asking what way to build chose VISUAL STUDIO 2010 and NATIVE DIRECTORIES!

Once you've done that it should result in a window like this:





you want to check the ones on there those only!!!

I forgot to black out my name in the previous pics.. sorry for that


Hit configure once again after you check those.

Then hit generate Should look like:



.


Close CMake.

Navigate to the build folder Open up SkyFire.sln and open it with the top option.

Once it loads up it should look like so:





Make sure it says release at the top! And hit F7 or Right click SkyFire and hit build!

Let this run, could take some time. Once it finishes it will look like this:




Close out of it, navigate to Build -> Bin -> Release

Make a new folder on the desktop name it Server and copy everything in release to server.



Now you can exit out of that. That concludes the compiling section!

IV. Fetching the SB and Installing it!


Make a new folder on the desktop name it database!

Do the same as you did for the skyfire emu, this time instead of skyfire make the repository

git://github.com/SkyFire/SkyFireDB.git

Subdirectory NONE!

make sure the folder name is in destination!



Once it's done close that.

SET UP MYSQL. I AM NOT WRITING THIS IN MY GUIDE HOWEVER YOU CAN GO TO:

http://www.mmowned.com/forums/world-...l-picutre.html

CREDITS TO CHRISPEE! I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT!

This should be of some help:




OPEN NAVICAT AND CREATE 3 DATABASES


WORLD
AUTH
CHARACTERS



Sorry for the shit I draw.. got bored :S

Close it.

Open your Database folder and open the folder TOOLS, and open OneClick_DB_installer.bat

location C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop\Database\Tools

Should look like this when filled in:




ONCE IT COMES UP HIT G AND LET IT RUN.. THIS TAKES TIME!

let that run, once it completes you are done.. you're done with the database!


That concludes the database portion of the guide!

V. Making your server public!

Ok, there are a few things we need to do to make your server public.

1. Make a DynamicDNS
2. Edit Hosts files
3. Edit your servers realmlist table in auth database

Lets get started

1 Go to DynDNS.com

make an account and you should have options like these:



For a better guide on this please look around the forums.

Now, lets edit the hosts files.



Navigate to C:\Windows\System 32\drivers\etc\

Open up the files Hosts in notepad. Should look like this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#	127.0.0.1       localhost
#	::1             localhost

Edit it to look like this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#	127.0.0.1       localhost
#	192.168.91.231	buckitwow.dyndns.info

127.0.0.1 DYNDNS HOSTNAME YOU MADE
EXTERNAL IP DYNDNS HOSTNAME YOU MADE
DEFAULT GATEWAY DYNDNS HOSTNAME YOU MADE
EXTERNAL IP DYNDNS HOSTNAME YOU MADE

To find these go to command prompt

3. Open Navicat

Open up your auth database, and look for the realmlist table.

Make the information what the picture says:



Open your configs and make sure your mysql info is in there correctly.

Edit your realmlist to 127.0.0.1 and open wow. Have fun!

THAT IS ALL. YOU ARE DONE. Make sure you get the maps and vmaps for the 4.0.6a servers, and all of the DLL's you need.

---- MAPS AND DBC's -------


------ VMAPS -------

Credits to treetree for maps and vmaps and dbcs.

I currently have no .dll files but I will add them when i find them!
Thanks for reading

If you have something you want added to the guide please reply and let me know so I can get it added.


NOTE: GO INTO THE ORIGINAL SKYFIRE FOLDER AND GO TO SQL AND UPDATES AND APPLY ALL OF THOSE TO WORLD DATABASE AND IT WILL RUN PROPERLY!

Thank you!

Wohh Really nice mate great guide really simple how you've done it and thanks for using my guide lol

[Found]

Not a problem, thanks for not freaking about it :P

[evanmur12]

Alright, looks sweet but everytime i try to configure the stuff in cmake i get "Error in configuration process, Project files may be invalid" ive done exactly what you said to in the guide, soo im flabbergasted. haha please help

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

the error is CMake Error: The source "C:/Documents and Settings/evan.YO-1EE77D2E6018/Desktop/SkyfireEMU/CMakeLists.txt" does not match the source "C:/Documents and Settings/evan.YO-1EE77D2E6018/Desktop/SkyfireEMU/src/CMakeLists.txt" used to generate cache. Re-run cmake with a different source directory.

i forgot to add it sorry :P

[Found]

I'm unsure of what is causing that error.. Try re installing CMake.

[Gabba]

When I try to run the Authserver.exe and the Worldserver.exe when I've finished they just close automatically, any idea why that happens?


Great Tut so far.

[Found]

Apply the updates in your sql -> Updates folder in the Trinity folder.

[2dgreengiant]

Pro tip for next time, use AltGr + prt screen on the window your taking a screenshot of. The images are too large and messy, would better with correct sized images

[Found]

Thanks for the info.. :\ now I feel stupid.

[utopianwarrior2001]

I installed eerything but idk what to do with openssl do i compile do i put in a directory what do i do im confused i cant move on with out it

[ohy1994]

Can anyone upload a mirror to treetree's files? And where do I put the vmap etc?

[humor]

Issue resolved

[Found]

Not a clue Humor. I will look in to it.

utopianwarrior2001, insall openssl no the lite version, and it'll go to c:\open SSL xxxxx\ in there is your dlls.

[humor]

yeah i go it after realizing i never clicked for open ssl, i read the messages in the program and it was the cause.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

so when i open up navicat, in order to make databases what exactly do i connect to?

[Found]

Ok, you need to go read the guide on how to do that.. I cant really explain now.. its all just making a db and importing SQLs
