[Guide]Create Your Clean ArcEmu Server 2.4.2

[Andrew_]

Hi everyone !

In this package you'll find :

- The latest compiled ArcEmu emulator ( As of 9/07/200.
- The latest clean NCDB database ( As of 9/07/200.
- A comprehensive guide on how to install required software, database and emulator.

Why?

- A lot of people want their own server to play with a few friends and don't care about the code, compiling, ...
- Repacks contain custom items, units and settings. This is your chance to get a clean copy.
- There are not much ArcEmu emulators around here. You must try it...

The package :

- There are 3 guides. One main guide to setup your server(emulator and database) and 2 smaller guides which will guide (newbies) through the installation of MySQL 5.0 and Navicat.

- You can download my guides HERE.

Just follow the instructions of Guide.txt .

Notes :

- The ArcEmu emulator is compiled for x86 systems(32 bit) !
- Even though English is not my native language, the guides should be crystal clear. If however you find unacceptable mistakes, feel free to PM me.
- If you find mistakes/unclear explanations in the guide, post them here and I'll correct.
- Suggestions are also welcome !

Because moderators complain about this not being a guide lol, here's the guide you'll find in the package :

Thanks for reading, I hope everything goes well with your server !

First post :P maybe you should give a little more info about the repack on here

[Andrew_]

Actually, that's not really a repack. It's just the latest released ArcEmu emulator and a CLEAN ncdb database.

That means that you start customising from scratch =) No need to delete the custom NPC's/items/events someone else made before creating your own ...

Hope it helps. If you have more questions, ask

[punzzer]

make a fuul arcemu repack and than post Andew........

[RaZZal]

Thanks a lot mate, I was just looking for this +Rep

Hi punzzer.

This is everything you need to have your server running.

@ RaZZal : You're welcome =)

[JoetheDruid]

The ArcEmu folder appears to be missing a boat load of files.

[haktrix]

yh missing a lot of DLL's

[Andrew_]

I might recompile the whole thing as the developer team @ ArcEmu fixed a lot of things.

About the DDL's : I'm running my server with the same folder you got there. so what's your problem? =)

PM me with all the details

Greetings

[JoetheDruid]

You need to download the Emu folder, because bro, there are no .dll's. No rep.

[haktrix]

that downloads only works if u compiled it ur self u need to add the libmySQL.dll and libeay32.dll

Hey.

Nice pack and easy guide, I am new at this server running thing but for me this guide did the trick.

Now the server is up and running, I can play on it, do whatever I want and all. The problems arrives when my friends are trying to join.

After days of struggling I have finally managed to make them find my server and be able to connect(with their own accounts), but when they do connect they can see the realm I have made but not join it, when they choose this realm it just pops right back up. What do I do to solve this problem? In advance, thank you.

Nicoen.

[Andrew_]

Hi Nicoen.

Actually, I don't have the answer as I never had this. I hope someone will be able to to answer in a direct way.

What I'm thinking of is ... "ports". --> I think your router blocks the incoming data ^^ Find a guide here on how to make your server public, you'll have a list of the ports you need to open and how ! Good luck ! And if you have other problems, ask or PM !


Greetings

[Nicoen]

I seemed to fix it by trying out a few things, but I don't think I could do it again

[Nicoen]

New problem: I am sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but since I am using yours I thought I had better ask here.


When I possess an npc or creature sometimes I get kicked from the server for using speed hack? Can anyone help me to remove this rule on the server?
