[ArcEmu] Change ArcEmu In Game Message to YourEmu!

[Pedregon]

I will show you how to change the message you see when you first log into the game
to "YourEmu". For example;

ArcEmu is recruiting developers: Join us on irc.emulationnetwork.com:6667 #arcemu

etc.

1. Open up the ArcEmu Source.

2. Go open up "StdAfx.h" and scroll down till you see

#define RECRUITING "Info: |cff00FF7FArcEmu is recruiting developers: Join us on irc.emulationnetwork.com:6667 #arcemu"
#define BUGTRACKER "http://arcemu.info/trac"

Change arcemu and the IRC, Links, etc to your server so for example you would change it to ..

#define RECRUITING "Info: |cff00FF7FPedregon's Awesomesauce Server is recruiting developers: Join us on irc.emulationnetwork.com:1337 #pedregon"
#define BUGTRACKER "http://pedregonuberemulator.com/trac"

3. Next go to "CharacterHandler.pp" and look for

#ifdef WIN32
	_player->BroadcastMessage("Server: %sArcEmu %s - %s-Windows-%s", MSG_COLOR_WHITE, BUILD_TAG, CONFIG, ARCH);
#else

Which is pretty much at the bottom of the source, change ArcEmu to YourEmu, so for example it would be;

#ifdef WIN32
	_player->BroadcastMessage("Server: %sPedregonisaSexyBeast %s - %s-Windows-%s", MSG_COLOR_WHITE, BUILD_TAG, CONFIG, ARCH);
#else

4. Now compile, Log in and See your changes! :]

Errr, to be honest you shouldn't be removing ArcEmu's credits.
It's not hard to completely rename the emulator, changing the inline and project files etc. Most of it is stored in the characterhandler, masters and nglog. I wouldn't do this because then every single time somebody releases a repack or makes a server they can then go "I have uber l33t custom core" which we get enough off already. Instead show people how to enable the repack option within the shared project, and how there is 3 lines already there where they can define the author, authors website and repack name.
Good guide, but morally incorrect in my opinion.

Edit: I lol'd at your sig thetruecrow.

I totally agree with you Stoneharry, everyone should give credits to ArcEmu, but i've been asked multiple times how to change it, etc. So I made a quick guide.
The Thetruecrows sig is beast, imo.

Since I have decided that I will be using ArcEMU for my new server, could one of you please link me the post that shows the 3 lines I can modify? I am a firm beliver of giving credit where its due, and do not wish to diminish the efforts of the Arcemu crews. (btw, currently goofing around with Pryd's ultracore repacks - which are quite nice.).

Thanks!

Just do Ctrl+F and "find" what I posted above. And Your right, giving credits where credits are due are always great.
