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

[psychobandit]

Sorry, noob question and if this is any indicator that this is no going to go right for me, then I'm screwd but what download am I suposed to choose for the C++

2008 express edition w/ sp1, or Microsoft visual studio 9.0. I am not sure which it will show on the DL page (both are correct, just the 2008 is only part of studio 9).

Just FYI, and this is for anyone who is going to use this guide from now on, ArcEMU has changed so it makes a 3.1.x server now. If you still want to set-up a 3.0.9 server, you will need to change everywhere it says "ArcEmu\trunk" to "ArcEmu\branches\3.0.9". I DO NOT KNOW at this time what version WhyDB is, but I believe as long as you don't load any change sets, it will still work for 3.0.9

I believe that would be WhyDB's side, I think they are now @ version 3.2.0 which isn't compatible obviously. I don't have a solution for you though unless you want to "up" your game to 3.1.X. I have mine @ 3.1.3 & it works with WhyDB's current version though there are a few oddities that I haven't figured out.

Oh, there is one other possibility, You could try using "Squire DB", it's a DB specifically designed for Arc meaning made by some of the same people that make Arc. If you want to try that for a 3.0.9 game, just don't use any changesets past #4.

It sounds to me like your game is corrupt but I have never seen that particular alarm before. You could try disabling all your addons & see if those are the problem. If not, then my next suggestion would be to run the repair tool.
It might help if you post a screen shot of the alarm to see if the coding in there may give a better idea of what is wrong. What version of the game are you trying to run?

Will this work with WoW 3.2.2a?

[Leksikon]

Hi I've tried this with WoW version 3.2.2 (10505), using WhyDB r79 for 3.2.2a. Everything works fine until I try to make a character. I cick Create Character and Accept, but there is no characters in my login screen. An error message has popped up in the arcemu-world.exe window though.

Sql query failed due to [Column count doesn't match value count at row 1], Query: [REPLACE INTO characters VALUES

And then a lot of numbers. I'll post them if needed. Can anyone help?

Edit: It's like 20 lines of numbers (>500 numbers), if that is relevant. In the Characters table in Navicat, I see only 84 columns :S

i got a problem when i start World it's says "!!! Read buffer overflow in DBC reading of file DBC/spell.dbc

Poissible invaild format in file DBC/spell [us : 239, them : 231

What is wrong :/ ?

[psychobandit]

O.K., CronoSword, yes it does.
Leksikon, I am unsure why but it sounds like you have a corrupt database. I would suggest deleting your World DB & re-installing it but 1st update the WhyDB SVN to make sure there isn't a corruption.
As for you, robinelitenn, it sounds like you have the wrong DB version, so what game, ArcEmu, & DB versions are you trying to use?
If it is 3.2.2a & you have the matching Arc & DB, then my next guess is that the WhyDB is just bad. I was having problems with it a while back, so I switched to "Squire-DB" which is actually made by some of the Arc guys. So you may want to try it instead of "WhyDB" to see if it solves the problem (& that goes for Leksikon too, if you still have the problem).
