[Guide] How to make a Ascent Server without repack. (Much Safer)

[ZestyJ]

Hello :wave: In this guide i will show you how to make a private server without a repack this is much safer. I am not going to show how to make the server public that will be a different guide.

First what you want to do is dowload the programs:

1. First what you want to do is dowload c++ to compile the files:
Dowload Here.

2. Then you want to download Tortoise SVN: Download Here.

3. And the last thing is My Warcraft Studio: Dowload Here. pass= mmowned

I will tell what each of these do as we go.

Now we are going to start building the core.

1. Install Tortoise SVN then make a new folder call it what you will you cant change the name when we are done. Right click the folder then click SVN Checkout put this url svn://openascent.com/openascent/trunk then click ok. Then wait til its done downloading.

2. Once it is done press ok. Then Install and open C++. When it opens click file then press op project/solution then browse to the folder and open it then go into win then double-click it. Then near the top it should say Debug and win32 Change the Debug to Release. Then go to Build and click Build Solution.

Once step 2 is done you have finished building the core.

The next thing i compiling the scripts.

1. Now we are going to build the scripts so what you do is open up C++ again. Then open file again and click on the same thing. Browse then find the folder again and in the folder go into src then go into scripts then double-click on the scripts 2008. Then change the thing to Release again and then click on build and the click build solution again.

2. Then in go into the file and open bin then open release then in there should be the ascent -world, ascent-logonserver, ascent-realmserver, and then ascent-chatserver. Then there will be a folder called script_bin and in there should be the scripts.

Make sure all the files are there.

Extracting the maps.
[color=purple] Alright now that you have the server compiled lets compile the ad.exe to extract the maps. Go into extras then map extractor and compile it.
Once done put ad.exe in your wow folder and then make a folder called maps.
Once it has finished copy and paste it into your server folder. Thats done.

K now we are going to get the DBC files.

1. So open MyWarcraftStudio then go to file and click open MPQ browse into the wow program files then open data then enUS the double-click local.mpq extract the DBFilesClient by right clicking it then put it in Release and do the same thing with patch.mpq and patch-2.mpq.

2. They should all end up as one file rename the file to DBC.

Then you are done with that.

Now you have to configure everything with the config files (very self explanatory) dont forget to delete the die messages.

Now you have to make the DB.

Now to make the DataBase.

1. Dowload the database from here: Dowload Here.

2. Dowload WampServer: Dowload Here.

3. Install it then run it.

4. Download Heidi SQL to change the DB but thats a whole other another story. Dowload Here.

5. Once thats all done configure tool.bat in the NCDB rev file by right clicking it and selecting edit it is very simple just change what is says to change.

6. Make a database by right clicking host and create database.

7. Then run it and do W and if there is a C do if not dowload the character DB here just make it in the same DB. Dowload Here.

8. Double-click it then Heidi SQL should pop up then select the DB you made and go to SQL Que then click run or whatever it says ill edit this later.

Now you are done with that

Now configure the realms and such with the config files it is pretty self explanatory.

Thank You for reading this plz remember to give me +Rep plz dont be a leecher like im am I want to change that.

If you find anything missing dont be afraid to speak up.

Its not safer. You can trust the ascent community

[death1]

i think a repack is safer

[nugums]

in doing this....can you make it so you can play on your server with the patch 2.4? or does this not support it?

correct me if im wrong but if you compile your own repack it is compatable with the newest patch

[Antu]

can someone give me a link or sumthing for the C++ 2008 crack?
mine is expired :P
soz for begging ^_^

Here is your correction just because you compiled it does not make it completely compatible with 2.4 or 2.4.1

[ZestyJ]

I am aware it is not much safer i cant change title also...
Dont be affraid to speak up if im missing somthing.
