Easy guide on how to make your own server

[shadow5677]

Hi, here's my first guide on how to make your very own private server. I had tons of troubles with it and finally did it. So, let's begin.

Step one.

First off, you are going to have to have a repack. Here's a link to one of the best.
(ArcEmu 2.4.3)

ArcEmu for 2.4.3.exe - wow, private, server, 2.4.3, noob,

Step two.

Once you have downloaded the file. Unzip it, you should now see a program called ad.exe (or just ad) Open up your WoW Directory folder and put ad.exe in it and run it. (If you have problems with it running. Try running as administrator.

Step three.

Once ad.exe is finished in your WoW directory folder there should be a folder named "maps". Put this folder into your ArcEmu folder.

Step four.

Now. There should be a program in your ArcEmu folder called "start background" run it. (ALWAYS RUN THIS FIRST!) In the folder there should also be a program named account creation. Run it.

Here's what you could use for the info

Username: admin
Password: admin
Email: care
Flags: 8 (if you have BC.. if you don't just put 0)
Is this a GM account?: AZ

Now run arcemu.world
And then run arcemu.logonserver

Step five.

You are almost done! All you need to do now is go into your WoW Directory again and edit your realmlist to 127.0.0.1 (if you have problems with it saving, try dragging it to your desktop, edit it, and put it back in your WoW Directory folder)

Final step.

Your server is now running! All you need to do now is log in with the user and password that you made using the account creator earlier.

You are done!! Congratz!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I have ran into every problem possible and know how to fix it.

Final step.

When I try to start any kind of .exe files, I.E arcemu-logonserver.exe, It says
"C:\ArcEmu\arcemu-logonserver.exe

This application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application might fix the problem."

I reinstalled and still didn't work... any help?

[Arks]

Maybe this is a noob question but uh... What kind of server is this once its all done, and what must one do to make this specific server live?

EDIT: I got the same error as the fellow above me. Uh oh.

You need to start arcemuworld before you start arcemulogonserver.

And to answer question two. You would need to either foward ports on your router. Or get hamachi. I'll give you a link on a guide for hamachi and port forwarding.

This is for hamachi-

[shadow5677]

Did you make your account with account creator?

[Tyrantis]

this is totally a noob question but what is a wow directory folder?

You need to start arcemuworld before you start arcemulogonserver.

No you don't. It doesn't matter what you start first. -_-

Shadow, I don't mean to flame, but this is a terrible guide. It isn't clear at all, nor are there many examples. No pictures. Everyone seems to be confused by your guide. My suggestion is to edit your guide to make it detailed and with more examples. Also, pictures would be nice.

I have to agree with Forces. I don't understand this at all. And I' also worried, that, as I also play on a retail wow. Will this screw that up? I don't want to have a 2nd copy of wow if I can avoide it. But I also don't want to screw up my wow either.

[forces]

No Taiin, it doesn't mess it up at all. The only thing you'd have to do to switch back and forth is change your realmlist.wtf located in your WoW Directory. If you want to learn how to really set up a server, go to my guide which Shadow tried to copy and see if that works for ya!
