[Windows] Set up ArcEmu from scratch, in detail with pictures. (Updated 30/1/11)

[murf1234]

Yep, I have .NET 4

For the record, I've used a repack on this machine, and it worked pretty well, but I do recall some LUA errors. ( It might have been me though)

EDIT: Lua engine errors, not LUA errors over all.

It wouldn't recognize scripts I loaded into it. ( Might have been me.)

[Facerolling]

Scripts are extremely easy to install on ArcEmu, no Core edits are required and no recompiling every time to change part of the script, which is fantastic development-wise.

Once I get this sorted (It's bothering me as much as it's bothering you guys now > ) I can whip up a few sample scripts for you to see how they work, and you guys can let your imaginations run wild

just drop .lua files into the scripts folder and restart the worldserver

Downloading XP at the moment.

[noed]

I have .NET 4 as well, never had 3.5 installed, think it makes a difference?

[Xen1978]

I am following this, so far smooth sailing until I hit the next to last part in Chapter 4: Creating and Filling the MySQL Server. There is no picture to tell me what to enter.

Hope we get it working soon, so far this is the best how to thread I have found.

[Facerolling]

Sorry guys, I was on holiday with a few friends and was not able to access the internet (Even though I specifically asked if it was possible, no matter.)

@Xen - http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/4327/26397130.png <-- Is this what you're looking for? I'll try and help as best as I can

[noed]

Don't you hate that? Eh, gives you a chance to enjoy what you're out doing if you don't have the internet to worry about

[Facerolling]

OK Guys with the windows XP problem, can you try this?



Go to the configuration manager again in VC++ 2010 and unselect to build luabridge, and select to build LuaEngine, recompile, overwrite the stuff in your compiled folder or create a new folder, you can move the maps, vmaps and dbcs from your existing compiled folder, and let me know how you get on!

Well...the logonserver went smoothly. The world server said this...

[18:38][Arcemu]!!! possible invalid format in file DBC/Spell.dbc (us: 234, them: 240)

repeating that last line until it shut itself down.

I started the game, logged in fine, but there was not a realm to choose. Basically, no change. I think last time through I may have gotten more commands in before it started repeating itself, but it didn't get me any closer to logging in. *shrug*

Sorry, any other ideas?

[Facerolling]

I know how to fix that, I need to update my tools then. Later on in the day I will update my guide with all this new information, thanks!

[noed]

Well...after your PM I'm back to getting the dummy handlers of before. It's a good step, right? There are still no servers listed when I log in, however.

[Facerolling]

Dummy Handler errors are fine, it's my tutorial that is wrong.



go to realms.conf and change the bottom so it looks like this, the three realms are if you want to bind it to an external IP.

This time around I started up the logon server just fine as usual, and when starting the world server it did this...

...and then the window shut. No change when logging into the game.

[jAy?]

Thanks alot for putting your time and effort toward making this guide. Now I know how to compile my own server. I only saw 1 comment that actually commented to say thank you. Anyways Thank you again, worked like a charm.

Rep +... Btw this guide was very well detail + pretty pics
Hopefully people will read this comment and realize to say thanks to this guide

[Facerolling]

I can't see why it's failing to initialize on both luabridge and LuaEngine. Very strange, I guess i'll have to keep trying, sorry for the inconvenience!

[noed]

Don't feel too badly, you're trying, which is very appreciated!
