Compile Your Own ArcEmu Private Server!

[Kanng]

Alright! It has been over 2 years since I last updated this topic, I realize that it was pretty beast back in the day when I created it, but I am NO LONGER UPDATING so if you haven't figured that out yet... Let's just say that you're behind on the times.

Go here for future help and an updated guide to COMPILING YOUR OWN ARCEMU PRIVATE SERVER!
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/world-...30-1-11-a.html

Thanks for tuning in guys! Peace!

Alright in this guide I am going to teach you how to compile your own private server. Repacks are not always the best because you cannot keep up with the latest Revs. and they all have the same problems/bugs that cannot be necessarily be fixed by you but must be fixed by the producer/maker of the repack.

Note: compiling your own server turns out less glitchy and you can keep up with the Revs. easily.

READ EVERYTHING SKIP ANYTHING AND YOU SCREW UP THE WHOLE PROCESS AND WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO COMPILE A SERVER!!

To start out your going to need two programs that will help you all the way through this process and later on after you have completed this guide.

1.Download | TortoiseSVN - Client Used To Check Out The Source.

2. Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition - Main Compiling Tool.

OK, first we'll start off by getting your ArcEmu files used to compile the server.

Create a folder on your desktop, name it "Omfg I am gonna compile my own server!!" (you don't have to do this name it whatever you want.)

Once you have it opened make a new folder named ArcEmu

Now once you are done right click on the folder and click SVN Checkout (should be there if you downloaded and installed everything correctly)

If you clicked SVN Checkout, a panel will appear.
there will be 2 lines in which only one of them you shall use.


1. URL Repository.

2. Checkout Directory.

K first of all absolutely do not touch Checkout Directory.
Once you're there Click the Bubble right next to Head Revision. (makes sure you have the latest Rev.)
[Note: The Latest Rev at this moment contains WOTLK core// If you would like to stay at patch 2.4.3 follow this guide: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/ascent...ml#post1207786 ]

Once done go to URL Repository and put in this.

http://arcemu.info/svn/

Now leave everything else alone.
Click CheckOut.

A new Panel will appear and many many files will speed across your screen.
This might take a while so you will have to be patient.
If you decide that you don't want to wait the 10-20min for it to load then i suggest you get off this guide.

Once its done you will have many folders inside ArcEmu (approximately 4)
Open up the file called "Trunk"
Go into "extras"
Once you're inside look for a folder called "ArcEmu-Windows-Libraries"
Enter it.
Open the READ ME.conf

Open This Guide For Help with the README.conf if you really need it!
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/ascent...ml#post1184482


Alright this Is the Hard Part


At this part I'm going to have to leave you alone.
Hopefully you had already Installed C++ if not please do so.
Follow the READ ME.conf exactly.

OK once you're done with that, it's all easy street here on out.
I swear to god you'll just have to do a couple more EASY things and you're done.

After that is done.

Alright now, back out until before you went into 'extras'
go to Win.
Double click arcemuVC90 and wait until it opens. open that up and there should be two boxes called debug and Win32 change debug to release.
now go to the tool at the top called Build and select clean solution.
when that is done go back to the Build tool and select Build Solution.


After that is done.

Almost Done!!

Now If you had done everything correctly in the READ ME.conf you should have gotten 4 succeeded if not go back and do it again and repeat the above.

Once done, go out to the src file. Once you're there you're gonna go into the file called "scripts" when in there go to scripts2008 and repeat the exact same stuff you did above.

While that's going go back to your desktop and make a file saying
"omfg I made a compiled server!! thank you Kanng!!!"
(of course you don't have to name it this, its 12:00 at night and I like to crack myself up XD)


when thats done back out to "trunk" and you should see a file called configs open that, inside that you should see
realm.conf, world.conf, and logonserver.conf etc..
copy all of them except voicechat.conf

Go into your new folder that you had just made and make another folder called configs inside it. Paste all those files I had you just copy inside there.

Now, really close to finishing, back out of src and go to bins and open it, when you are in there open up the Release files and copy all
the files that are in there.

Go back out to your desktop and paste all of them into your new folder.
Leave everything else alone.


Congatz! You Have Compiled Your Own Private Server!

As the Antihack folder doesn't exist, are we to follow the README.txt file located inside "*,*\ArcEmu\branches\extras\arcemu-windows-libraries" ?

[frostyman]

Hey man wats up with the sql's? like they arnet functioning properly. like the items, im not getting any. please help

[Sounddead]

Did you download a database frostyman? Or did you just use the SQL's from the ArcEmu folder.. because those are just blank tables.

[frostyman]

i used the ones from the compile. the blank ones i guess. can u give me a link to some working ones?

[frostyman]

k i got the sql's. so just ignore the previous message. but another thing i wanted to know is if there is a way to get the arena's to work. any1 know?

[Kanng]

lol alright just got back from school i'll be answering questions

[Kanng]

if you want arenas i suggest you look on arcemu.org cuz they are the ones who made it and thus are the experts.
