[Guide] Ascent - Create and use an updatable 2.3.x server

[Zerger1]

Yes, I did have to use dictionary.com to see that 'updatable' was a word.

Compiling and Updating a 2.3.x Server with NCDB

Well, I spent almost 4 days reading guides and looking at maybe 100 posts about creating a server without a repack. I wanted a server that I could update whenever a new patch came out. This server will also be VERY close to Blizzard retail servers, which can allow you to create your own server, instead of using someone else's. This puts every single compile guide together, so people can actually understand how to create and update one.

You need to have your World of Warcraft at patch 2.3.3 to set up this server. here is a great guide for that. (Credits to Roflmewafflez) http://www.mmowned.com/forums/emulat...4-2-3-3-a.html

Step 1: Installing Needed Programs

You need to download and install both these programs in order to compile your server:
C++ - Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
Tortoise SVN - Download | TortoiseSVN


Step 2: SVN Checkout for Ascent Compile

After you are done installing both programs, create a new folder, called Ascent Compile on your Desktop. Once created, right click and choose SVN Checkout. In the URL space, put http://mmoforge.org/svn/ascent/branches. Then click ok. Enter in anonymous for the username and leave password blank. Click ok again and wait for this to finish.

Step 3: Configuring C++ to Compile

Before we start compiling the databases, we must first configure C++. Open up C++. When it is open, go to tools, then options. A screen should pop up and click on Projects and Solutions then VC++ Driectories, on the left. Be sure your platform is set to Win32 and show directories for "Executable Files". Find "New Line" (folder icon) and copy and paste this into it : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin.

Now you must change the dropdown for "Show driectories for:" to "Include Files". Once again, click on New Line and copy and paste C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include.

Finally, change the dropdown list to "Library Files". Add a new line and copy and paste C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib. Press ok and you've configured C++!

Step 4: Builing Solutions

With C++ still open, click file at the top, then open - project/solution. Browse to your Ascent Compile folder and follow: Ascent Compile/3_8_stable/win and open the solution "ascentVC90". Now click on Build at the top, then Configuration Manager. Change the "Active solution configuration:" to Release. press ok.

Now click on Build again, then "Clean Solution". Once that has completed (You should see "========== Clean: 7 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========". Once you see that message in the bottom box, go to Build again and then "Build Solution". This could take a while depending on your computer.

Once that has completed, click file at the top, then open - project/solution. Brose to your Ascent Compile folder and follow: Ascent Compile/3_8_stable/src/scripts and open the solution "scripts2008".

Again, you will have to go to Build, then "Configuration Manager" and change the Active solution configuration to release. After it is changed, click Build, then "Clean Solution". Lastly, after that has finished, click Build, then "Build Solution". You are now done with C++, you may close out when done!

Step 5: Installing MySQL and Navicat

Go to MySQL :: MySQL 5.0 Downloads and scroll down until you see Windows Essentials (x86). Download this, and install (typical is fine). After it has finished actually installing, you want to "Configure the Server Now". Once getting to the screen asking which configuration to do, pick "Standard Configuration". Keep the user the same, pick a password that you will remember, and execute at the end. Once complete, you have MySQL Community ready.

Now, travel to Navicat - the World's Best MySQL Front End for Windows, Linux & Mac OS X and download "Navicat for MySQL Lite". The lite version is the exact same, but you can keep it forever. Install and open Navicat once installed. Follow this to configure:

Connection Name = localhost
Host Name = locahost
Port = 3306
User Name = root
Password = whatever password you entered in MySQL when you configured it

Double click on the connection localhost on the left side, it should drop down three databases, "information_schema", "mysql", and "test". Right click on local host and choose new database. This database name is world. Then create two more new databases, called logon and character. You may now close Navicat.

Step 6: SVN Checkout for NCDB

Create two new folders on your desktop, "NCDB" and "Ascent Server". Right click on NCDB and select SVN Checkout. For the URL this time, enter "http://svn2.assembla.com/svn/NCDB". Use anonymous as username, and password is blank...again. Click ok and wait for it to complete.

Step 7: Editing Tool.bat

After the SVN Checkout is complete, go into your NCDB folder. You should see a file, tool.bat. Right click it and select edit. Change what is in RED below:

@ECHO off
REM ############################################################################
REM #
REM #      B A S I C   U S E R   C O N F I G U R A T I O N   A R E A
REM #
REM ############################################################################
set user=set to root
set pass=whatever password you used in MySQL
REM  wdb  -  is the World Database
REM  cdb -  is the Character Database
REM If you do not have them seperated then set them to the same values
set wdb=set to world
set cdb=set to character
REM ############################################################################
REM #
REM #    A D V A N C E D   U S E R   C O N F I G U R A T I O N   A R E A
REM #
REM ############################################################################
set port=3306
set server=localhost
set devpath=.\Development\Ascent
set pubpath=.\Releases
set mysqlpath=.\Development\Ascent\MYSQL
REM ############################################################################
REM #
REM #     D O   N O T   M O D I F Y   B E Y O N D   T H I S   P O I N T
REM #
REM ############################################################################

Now save that and run tool.bat. once the command prompt pops up, press W then enter. This is installing your world database!

Step 8: Executing Databases

This part will update your databases, and create all the new info in them. Open Navicat and double click on the database "character". Now right click it and select "Execute Batch File". Press the ... next to the white box and follow this path: AscentCompile/3_8_stable/sql. Now you need to select one of the "character_structures" and execute. Now, try the other character_structure. If at any time you get this: [Msg] Finished - Unsuccessfully, that means its updated. It is not bad! After doing that, execute all the batch files you can inside AscentCompile/3_8_stable/sql/character_updates.

Now, double click the database logon. Right click and select Execute Batch File. Browse to AscentCompile/3_8_stable/sql and execute logon_structures. Now, head into the logon_updates folder and execute all of those. All your databases should be up to date now!

Step 9: Creating Your Server Folder

Remember that folder we created called Ascent Server? Now is the time for it.

Head into AscentCompile/3_8_stable/src and copy all 4 config files. Paste these files into your Ascent Server folder. Go to AscentCompile/3_8_stable/dep/lib32. Copy the 3 .dlls in that file and pate them inside your Ascent Server folder.

Navigate your way to AscentCompile/3_8_stable/bin/release. Copy everything in that folder to your Ascent Server folder. Now it's time to get maps and DBC. Both these go into the Ascent Server folder as well.

I have extracted and uploaded the DBC files for your convenience, but the map files are too large and you will need to use the map extractor found here Map Extractor Place this .exe inside your World of Warcraft folder and create a folder called "Maps". After the .exe has finished running, transfer the folder to "Ascent Server".

Here are the DBC Files for 2.3.3: DBC Files


Step 10: Editing your Config Files

Now, we need to edit 3 of our config files to fit our server! Change the text in red.

#        increase beyond this point.
#        Default: 70
#
#	Generated Level Level Cap
#	   This variable controls the level at which stats will generate up to. Generally the formulas go

#	   Default: 70
#
#    Seperate Channels Control
#        This directive controls whether horde and alliance chats will be seperated across channels.
#        Set to 1 for blizzlike seperated channels, or 0 to allow horde/alliance to speak to each other
#        across channels.
#        Default: 0
#
#    Compression Threshold
#        This directive controls the limit when update packets will be compressed using deflate.
#        For lower-bandwidth servers use a lower value at the cost of cpu time.
#        Default: 1000
#
#    Queue Update Rate
#        This directive controls how many milliseconds (ms) between the updates
#        that the queued players receieve telling them their position in the queue.
#        Default: 5000 (5 seconds).

#        This directive specifies the amount of seconds that the client will be disconnected
#        after if no ping packet is sent. It is advised to leave it at the default.
#        Default: 180
#
#    Realm Type
#        This is the realm type that will be used by the server to handle world pvp.
#        Default: 0 (pve)(RPPVE)
#        Other values: 1(pvp)(RPPVP)
#
#    AdjustPriority
#        Set the server to high process priority?
#        Default: 0
#
#    RequireAllSignatures
#        This directive controls whether the full 10 signatures will be required in order
#        to turn in a petition. Smaller servers would be better off having it turned off.
#        Default: off
#
#    ShowGMInWhoList
#        This directive controls whether GM's will be shown in player's who lists or not.
#        Default: on
#
#    MapUnloadTime
#        This directive controls whether to unload map cells after an idle period of <x> seconds.
#        Use on smaller servers or servers that are memory-limited. The server without cell unloading

#        Default: 0
#
#    LimitedNames
#        This directive forces all character names to be a-z and A-Z compliant.
#        Default: 1
#
#    UseAccountData
#        This directive determines whether the account_data table is used to save custom client data.

Step 11: Updating Your Server

Every once in awhile, the SVN will be updated. This will give you new updates for your character and logon databases. To get these updates just right click on "Ascent Compile" and click "SVN Update". If it updates or adds anything, you know you need to execute some updates in Navicat.

Step 12: Running Your Server

Finally, you need to create your account. Open Navicat again, and go to the logon database. Click on tables, then the accounts table. Once it is open, fill in your account name and pass, under gm put "az". Then, under flags put "8".

Congrats, you are done! Just change your realmlist to localhost and start ascent-world.exe and ascent-logon.exe. You can now log into the game.
