Re-Write of Herleybob's Antrix 2.1.3 guide

[rukkus]

I've decided to re-write Herleybob's guide so that it's easier to read and understand. Note that I do -not- take any credit for this work, as it was Herleybob's original post.

Required Files
----------------
MySql
SqlYog
JulianX's Repack

MySql installation
--------------------
First, unzip the archive using WinRar, WinZip, etc.

Then, run the contained executable.

Select "Typical Installation" and click "Next"

Continue clicking "Next" until installation is complete and you are asked if you want to configure the server. Make sure the check box is selected, and continue with server configuration.

Select "Standard Configuration", and click "Next" to continue.

Select "Install as a windows service" and click "Next" to continue.

Select your Root password carefully, and make sure it is something you will remember, as you will need it later in the configuartion process for Antrix. Click "Next" to continue.

Allow MySql to finish configuring.


JulianX Repack
-----------------

Extract the repack to your desktop, or wherever you want. Remember where you extracted it, as this will be vital later.


SqlYog Setup
----------------


Install SqlYog as you would with any other windows application.

Once you've started SqlYog, create a new connection, and enter the information as outlined in the following image.




Connect to your MySql server.

Once you've connected, right-click "root@localhost" in the left panel. Select "Create new database". Name this database "antrix".

Right-Click the newly created Antrix database, and select "Restore from SQL Dump".

Browse to the repack folder you unzipped earlier. Inside it should be another folder named "sql". In that folder, you will find "TNPS7.sql". That is your antrix database dump. Select that file, and click "execute".

Do the same with "Missingtables.sql"

This may take a while, as it is querying and setting up your Antrix database. Press F9 to refresh your Antrix database.

Once that's finished, expand your Antrix database by clicking the + next to the database name. Select the "Accounts" database.

Follow this image to add your account:


You can now exit SqlYog

Antrix Configuration Files
-----------------------------

In the repack folder, open "Logonserver.conf" and edit the following section by adding your MySql password.

 <LogonDatabase Hostname = "127.0.0.1"
               Username = "root"
               Password = "yourpasswordhere"
               Name     = "Antrix"
               Port     = "3306"
               Type     = "1">

Next, open your antrix.conf, and edit the following line to again reflect your MySql password.

 <Database Hostname = "127.0.0.1" Username = "root" Password = "yourpasswordhere" Name = "antrix" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

Maps Setup
---------------

Still with me? Great! We're almost done!

Inside the repack folder you will find an archive titled "map_extractor".

Extract this Archive into your World of Warcraft Folder (Typically Program Files\World of Warcraft)

Inside your World of Warcraft folder, create a sub-folder titled "maps". Run ad.exe and wait. Once that is finished, move the "maps" folder to your repack folder.


Final Steps! (YES!)
----------------------

Change your Realmlist.wtf found in your World of Warcraft folder to reflect the new server address.

set realmlist 127.0.0.1
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com

In the repack folder, run "logonserver.exe".

Wait a while, as it will take some time to get past the "Hooking Signals" bit.

*CRUCIAL PART LEFT OUT ORIGINALLY*

Execute "antrix.exe"

Once it is finished, open WoW, type in your username and password as created in the antrix database, and ROCK OUT! You're done!

This is just a more easily read and comprehensive re-write of his awesome guide.

nice guide. like ur use of paint

[rukkus]

Thanks, but the artwork is totally Herleybob's. I didn't feel like making my own screen shots from when I followed his guide, so I just used his and credited him at the top and bottom of the post.

I hope no one +reps me for this. If anyone deserves the rep, it's Herleybob.

Find a guide you like, i'd suggest the 2.1.x or 2.1.3 guides. Then vendors is something else, WOw-v.com has a generator for them.

Hamachi sucks.

if you need help, just ask me or make a new thread, dont hijackz

Rukkus? GoW....

Negative. I'm not the GoW Rukkus.

I usually go by n4cht, but I lost the pw to that account on mmowned, and it's registered with an old email addy that doesn't work anymore.

Talk about total suck.

I thought i finally found a guide that was gonna work, but of course Ad.exe doesn't do anything and just flashes *cry*

[Halochecker]

I did everything Step by Step, but if i try to log in on my server it jumps back to the Realm List..

[dragyn2006]

same problem with me now im jsut gunna try to restart this whole guide.

[Sheavi]

Yeah jumping back to realm list here too :/

Anyone know why this occurs?

[rukkus]

I know exactly why. I left out a crucial step like a dummy. Fixed.

Did you create a folder in your WoW folder called "maps" ?

Sounds like what happened was ad.exe looked for a place to put the map files it creates, and failed to find the maps folder.

I did everything Step by Step, but if i try to log in on my server it jumps back to the Realm List..

I had originally omitted the starting of antrix.exe by accident. The guide has been changed to reflect this oversight.

starting antrix.exe after logonserver.exe should correct the problem.

[ulfgrim]

do you know a guide that explains how to easily make it public?
