[Epic Guide] Setting Up and Running an ArcEmu Server from Scratch!

[reloque]

When I right click, there is no SVN checkout option...?

[speedylucky]

I've been busy with this for almost 2 days now, and slowly started to get everything right.
Although when i try to log in on my private server of WoW, it tells me the information I have entered is not valid. Also when i run the ArcEMU logonserver, it tells me 0 accounts are loaded. I did make 2 accounts in Navicat. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.. Anybody got tips?

[Grif]

Decent guide, ill +Rep for effort.

[Rayuski]

I think it's all good. But I can't run my world.exe or logon.exe. I keep getting the same message: "This application has failed to start because LIBMSQL.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Any help would be really appreciated.

Edit: Don't worry, figured it out.

New problem, my realm wont show up.

Very nice guide. +rep

[kazemelf]

hi all
i setup the server and run logon.exe & world.exe and when i going to game and setting user & pass . the game said the information you entered was incorrect
i create account in navicat logon DB in account . and i set realm list on 127.0.0.1


and i have question that is how can i find whats my arcemu server version ?
plz help me thank to all

[kazemelf]

is there any one who now what's my problem ?

[psychobandit]

Well I am pretty much the only person who monitors/helps in this thread & I am/was on hiatus from it. BUT, at this point, I no longer use ArcEMU as I found TC2 to be a much more stable emu that works more "correctly" & the most important to me, the devs/mods/etc. treat their community with respect
Also, Arc has re-written a LOT of the code in 3.3.5 & I stopped using it at 3.3.2 so I don't know if anything they changed could cause/affect the issue you have. You could go on the Arc forums & ask but be prepared to be called idiot/moron/stupid/etc. but You might be lucky enough to find someone who will actually help. Or, see if there is a more "up-to-date" guide here on MMowned as this thread is way way way outdated

As for finding the Arc revision, one way is when you start up "world.exe", as soon as it starts, click in the window & drag the scroll bar up to the beginning of the wall of text it made & at the very very top, it says "ArcEmu TRUNK r(this is the number you are looking for)\ bla bla bla". Another way is go to the SOURCE folder (where you DL'd all the files from Arc) and Right click it & select "properties", then click the tab that says "subversion". On that tab it shows "revision / author", the number that follows it is the revision. That 2nd option is the revision that you last downloaded so if you downloaded but did not compile, then it wont match your servers revision.

I know that was a bit wordy but hopefully you understand it all

Now It's time to set up the database. Open up navicat create a new connection and under pass put the <pass> I told you we would need later. Then press OK. After that open the connection by double clicking on localhost, then right click localhost and click new database, you will be making 3, one named world, one named char and, one named logon. Go to the folder where you downloaded WhyDB, there should be a file called tool.bat. Right click it and press edit. Change WhyDB_world to world. then save and close it. Now open tool.bat, it will ask you for you information, the first will be root the second will be your <pass>. Then type i and press enter. Now you need to go back to navicat and double click char and logon. After you have done so you will need to right click them and choose execute batch file,Now go to <ArcEmu Source>/trunk/sql/ and find the database structure for the corresponding database. Now go to <ArcEmu Source>/trunk/sql/utilities and open ArcEmu DB Updater.bat, for this you will need to type in, localhost, 3306, root, <pass>(your password), logon, char, world. Now you will need to type a and press enter.

Help, i can't find "WhyDB_world" and my navicat doesnt give me the option to execute batch file instead it is Execute SQL file. Help me please

[psychobandit]

Batch file & SQL file are the same thing in this case.
Don't worry about the "WhyDB_World" thing, it's no longer valid and if you bothered to read thru this whole thread you'd know that.

Now, Listen up people! :soapbox: This guide was made for game version 3.0.9!!! It is WAY outdated! Either read the whole damn thread (ALL 31 pages) Or find a more current guide!!!! :eh: :tard::gtfo2:

This has been a public service announcement :squint:

I just want to say Thank You so much for everything you have done in this thread psycho. I read all 31 pages just to see how the whole thing evolved since it is so outdated. You did very well with keeping up with the updates and keeping everyone going. I would have went mad. I would love to find out what you are using for 3.3.5 and get some noob pointers from you on how to set up my first server. I have NO idea how to even begin with mysql or navicat if that is even still required and i cant seem to find any tutorials for the the step by step process of EVERYTHING in the new 3.3.5 area. AGAIN...thanks for all you have put up with here. Hope all works out well for you and I look forward to getting up with you on my concerns with creating a new server. PM me if possible please sir. Im like you, after reading 31 pages in this thread i pretty much dont want anything else to do with it. LOL

:hehehe: Thanks, and I did go a little mad woohooohoohheHEHEHEEEHEEHAHAHAaaahahhahhaahaaaaa!!!! :tard: :nuts: ....ehem :eh:
For what I am using for 3.3.5, here's is the link (.) to the guide I used to set-up my server. Myran2 has been very good about keeping it updated & gives pretty good instructions on MySQL & Navicat set-ups.
If you have questions, of course I will help as best I can but I am still new to trinity & don't know it near as well as Arc.

BTW, I didn't PM this because you only have 6 posts & I believe you need 10 minimum before you can reply to them
