Hey Guys! This is my Complete Guide on making YOUR repack Compiling ascent on YOUR own adding the Database and doing it on your own. Great if your bored, or just want some credit on your own!
May i start out by saying i am Dryice looking to get back into MMOWNED, i am currently in development of my own repack (Ver. 2 full 2.3) and this is my guide!
>Ok, repacks are great, download install play. But what if you want to do it yourself?what if you want to be the next Chrispee? make your own repack etc.! You will learn how here<
STEP 1: Choosing your Emu
Ok, what i mean by that is they're many Emulators out there from the abyss to mangos. WoWEmu Ascent Antrix and MaNGOS are the known ones. I am going to explain all
WoWEmu - My fav. It was great easy and stable, however the project was stopped at patch 1.11.
Antrix - This is a old version of Ascent, people still use it but it was made by the ascent team. Just get ascent on this one.
MaNGOS - A good Emu, not too many people use it, it is laggy and buggy. I personally
do not like it
Ascent - My favorite, very strait forward, easy, doesn't lag, this one is gold!
IN MY GUIDE I WILL USE ASCENT
Step 2: Compiling Ascent
This one I'm not going to elaborate on this. It's not too hard.
