Need Help setting up wow server

[newwowserver]

Hello !

i want to setup a small wow server of 200-500 players with arcemu...
i know what hardware i need and i know arcemu and how to use it

the question is which DB is the best for arcemu?

there is lots of errors in my WHY DB

also where can i get the IDs for the commands?

and is arcemu the best for a 3.3.5a server?

what connection speed is suitable for this?will ADSL be enough?or its a must for SDSL?

How can i use lua to display ads ingame?

Thanks very much

Trinity is outright better, ArcEmu is a dead project, however it is good for learning basic scripting (in my opinion).

Trinity has it's own database on the site, ArcEmu's best DB is WhyDB, you must be installing it wrong or something to get errors, which btw doesn't help anyone if you don't post some of the errors.

Google the commands, don't be lazy. And what ID's are you on about?

Get a dedicated server (or VPS while growing) as you will not be able to run a 200 - 500 people server from a home internet connection very well, plus if you had of looked one of the only stickied guides in the tutorial section is about the bandwidth requirements needed to run a server.

Ads in-game... You better have a brilliantly unique idea if you are going to get 200 - 500 people with such a clear money hungry intent. And yes, it would be very easy to do so, if you want images however you will need a client side patch. Either way, on principle I am not going to help with such an implementation.

i can get an SHDSL line of 4 Mbit Speed
The ID's are for the commands for ex:npc ids ,quest ids, item codes.......etc
they say arcemu is better off with fun servers is that true?
Trinity i will use for blizzlike.
can i use announce for ads?
why cant i use lua to do the ads
has anyone before used ads ingame?!
i can use donation too
where can i find a good customisable website template for the server?

Thanks very much

4Mbit? That's horrid :S

There is a lookup command.

If you are a beginner then yes ArcEmu is better for customization. Al-round Trinity is better though purely due to the fact that it is a lot more bug-free and well set up all together and if you know what you are doing, the reason people say ArcEmu is better can be done in Trinity, just a little more difficulty.

If you just mean links then yes.

Probably have, but that would make them money hungry douches.

Wtf? I just said it was easy to do.

Google it... Seriously, stop being lazy.

Some say Trinity is the best core to use for 3.3.5a because it seems to be the most stable. However, I am a MoP developer so I focus mainly on Mist of Pandaria emulation development. ArcEmu is pretty stable but I notice it has some bugs that are somewhat less of a problem for efficiency in stable game-play. It is still going to require programming and some scripting knowledge to get any sort of core that is worth running publicly for a large user-base..

WhyDB is good, but you are better off compiling a DB from a few DB sources and manually implementing them to work together as a complete structure. Which if you understand how to do, is just a matter of the time it takes to do it. If you are serious, you might as well start learning to program now or be left behind in the group that waits for the developers to make a release, otherwise pay a developer to do the work for you if you want something sooner. Honestly, this is not all a bunch of easy copy & paste work for the developers, it really does require a lot of time and effort.. I don't expect you to pull a stable core out right off the bat without spending a couple months actually compiling sources and working on scripting it with a developer team or by yourself..

If you are not going to be doing any programming, you are best off just making a Funserver that is not Blizzlike, implementing your own custom type of game through in-game commands, Lua guides, etc. This process will also eliminate your need to do major bug fixes for a Blizzlike core & database. This is just my advice to you, unless you feel like committing your time to a few months of programming and working to build a stable core. For information on building an Emulated "Funserver" check the guides on the forum.. There is tons of information just with a simple search, years of guides and content for 3.3.5, so there should be no shortage of information that you would need to complete this process..

Hope this helps,

where can i get a ready core?

where can i get a ready core?

It depends on your definition of a "ready core" mate. There are all kinds of Repacks, fresh core's to compile, and all kinds of definitions for what we consider stable.. It all depends on what your server plans to achieve and what you as the lead developer plan to do with your approach of how the server should function in whatever manor your aiming at as the project leader.. If this makes any sense? In other words, you need sort of a project plan or a flow chart.

Questions you need to be asking yourself before you continue...

1. What do you plan to create here? What is your server's main purpose, what are you aiming at that makes your server different from another?
2. What doyou want to implement into your server?
3. How big it is expected to be.
4. Do you plan on developing it, or seeking help from other freelance developers?
5. Do you plan to invest any money on this project?
6. Have you researched the forums, book-marked good resources and reliable information to use in your efforts of turning your goal into reality?

These are all important factors, go ahead and send me a response with what you have.. Maybe we can figure out an answer for you!
