Read every word of what I write. You then can understand what you need to do and why.
This will help if you encounter an error, so you can fix it without asking a question on the Forums.

There was a video, but I took it off because it is now invalid.
It is under construction.

J9sjam3’s Noob Friendly Guide to making an Ascent Server v4

What you need:
winRAR
.NET 3.5
Other Needed Files

Maps
This is easy, but could take some time.
Go into the folder /Needed Files V4/Needed Files/Map Extractor/
Select the correct ad_____.exe for your region. I am from GB so I would select ad_enGB.exe. If you are from France you would select ad_frFR.exe and so on.
Copy the correct ad version and the maps folder into your World of Warcraft directory.
Mine is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\
Once the ad_____.exe and the empty maps folder is in the World of Warcraft directory, then click on ad_____.exe.
This will open MS-DOS (a black box) and will then start 'creating' the maps.
This should take around 30mins depending on the speed of your computer.




You can either carry on with the tutorial, or wait for the maps to be done.


MySQL
Open the MySQL installer.
It, by defult is located in /Needed Files V4/Needed_files/mysql-essential-6.0.4-alpha-win32.msi
Double click on it, and make sure the little circle labeled 'Typical' has a dot in it.

Wait for it the install. Once it has done, click next, then next again.
After that, make sure ‘Configure the MySQL Server now’ box is ticked and click next.
NOTE: Vista users, please refure to the FAQ if this part doesn't work

Once that box has opened, click next. Click ‘Standard Installation’

Make sure the ‘Install As Windows Service’ box is ticked.
Also make sure the ‘Launch MySQL Server automatically’ box is ticked and make a password.
I would personally use root for the time being, until you get your server running sucsesfully.

Click next.

Click execute, then finish and your done!



Navicat
Install Navicat, its really easy. /Needed Files V4/Needed_files/navicat8lite_mysql_en
Just click next a few times.
Once you have installed Navicat, open it.
There will probably be an icon on your desktop.
Click on New connection.
In the connection name, type anything you want E.G Ascent
The Hostname/IP should be localhost.
The port should automatically be 3306; if not change it.
Make your username root.
Use your password you used from the MySQL installation.
I reccomended using root
Click next when you have filled everything in.
It should look like this...

Once it has loaded, you should see something called ‘Ascent’ or whatever you called it on the left hand column. Right click on it, and click ‘new database’.
Call the database ‘logon’ or anything you want to call it.

Create a new database called 'char' or anything you want.
And a new one called 'world'.

Executing Batch File
Right click on your database called 'spdb' or whatever you called it, and click ‘Execute Batch File...’

Select the SQL file from Spartansp’s repack (\needed files\needed files\spdb4.sql)
Click start, this could take a while so go have a coffee or have some food.

Once the SQL file is done, click on the other database called 'char' or whatever you called it.
Right click on it, 'Execute Batch File...' and click on the char sql file (needed files/needed files/char.sql)

Making an account
This is simple. Just click on the table accounts, and enter the data required there
Just enter all the information you want.
If you want to be root admin (access to all commands) you will make the admin column az
If you want to have Burning Crusade enabled, you will have to make the flags column 8


Configuration
Go to your Ascent folder (SpartanWOWrepack\ascent3353\) and find ascent.conf.
Change the things in red:

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "127.0.0.1" Username = "root" Password = "MYSQL_PASSWORD" Name = "DATABASE_NAME_E.G_ASCENT" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "127.0.0.1" Username = "root" Password = "MYSQL_PASSWORD" Name = "DATABASE_NAME_E.G_ASCENT" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

Once you have done that, you will need to configure the logonserver.conf.
Change the things in red:

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "127.0.0.1"
                 Username = "root"
                 Password = "MYSQL_PASSWORD"
                 Name     = "DATABASE_NAME"
                 Port     = "3306"
                 Type     = "1">

See the entire .conf file here:
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/ascent...tml#post592558
When you have done that, you are nearly done.
Just open your World of Warcraft folder (Usually C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
Then open your realmlist.wtf file. Change it to 127.0.0.1

Open logonserver.exe and then ascent.exe
Wait for it to load until it says ‘connected with X ms’

Open World of Warcraft, and log in with the account you made before.
Well done! You made a Ascent Private Server!

Made by J9sjam3.

Make sure you +Rep SpartanSP for his repack!

Hope this helped.
Any questions, ask.


Making your New Pwnage Server Accept ALL Versions
This is very easy.
All you have to do is go into logonsever.conf and find:

# Accepted Build Range Setup
#
#    These two directives set up which clients will be
#    allowed to authenticate with the realm list.
#
#    Set these to the same builds that the server was
#    compiled for.
#
#    As of the last update, version 2.1.1 was build 6739.
#

<Client MinBuild = "6739"
        MaxBuild = "9999">

Then change the bits into red into whatever version you want!
E.G

<Client MinBuild = "0001"
        MaxBuild = "9999">

Will accept all versions of World of Warcraft.
Hope that helped!

How to Make your Awsome Server Public v1
Making your Ascent Server Public
First off, are you behind a router?
If so, you will need to ‘un-block’ certain ports.
Here is a list of certain ports you will need to unblock:
80.........to.........80
3036.....to........3036
3306.....to........3306
3724.....to........3724
6112.....to........6112
6881.....to........6999
8050.....to........8050
8093.....to........8093
8129.....to........8129

PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall will teach you how to port forward in your router.
This might also help:

Who should I contact regarding the configuration of my firewall, proxy, or router?
Blizzard does not support proxies (Internet connection sharing), firewalls, or routers. The settings provided are suggested settings only. However, we do have some suggested settings for BlackICE, ZoneAlarm® Pro, SygatePersonal Firewall Pro, and Windows XP's Internet Connection Firewall.

Making your Server Public with Hamachi

Install Hamachi on your computer, and finish the tutorial or click the little cross at the top of the white box.
After you have done that, create a group that is relevant to your server.
As I am running a Test server, mine is called Test92.
Make the pass something like 123
Hamachi will automatically connect to this network whenever Hamachi is started.

You now need to change your ascent.conf file.

<Listen Host = "Your Hamachi IP"
WorldServerPort = "8129">

You need to also change the logonserver.conf file.

<Listen Host = "Your Hamachi IP"
ISHost = "Your Hamachi IP"
RealmListPort = "3724"
ServerPort = "8093">

And now the realms.conf file

<LogonServer Address = "Your Hamachi IP"
Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "1">

AND

<Realm1 Name = "Test92"
Address = "Your Hamachi IP:8129"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "0.5"
TimeZone = "1">

See the entire .conf file here:
http://www.mmowned.com/forums/ascent...tml#post592558
Tell your friends or some people to change their realmlist.wtf file to your Hamachi IP and tell them to join your Hamachi network (they will need the name and the password. The name and password are cAsE sEnSiTiVe.

Making your Server Public without Hamachi
Go to No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP and sign up with an account.
Log in. Under the ‘Hosts/Redirects’ section on the left hand side of the panel, click ‘add’.
Select a hostname, mine being Test92 and click which domain you want (Enhanced Domains are going to cost something).
Make it a DNS Host (A) and leave the IP address. If the IP address isn’t automatically inserted, then Google ‘Whats my IP address’ and fill it in.
Click create host down the bottom of the page.

At the top of the screen, click the download tab and download the software.
Log in and then your DNS should be there.
Then, change your files to your No-IP address...

Ascent.conf

<Listen Host = "No-IP address"
WorldServerPort = "8129">

Logonserver.conf

<Listen Host = "No-IP address "
ISHost = "No-IP address "
RealmListPort = "3724"
ServerPort = "8093">

And now the realms.conf file

<LogonServer Address = "No-IP address "
Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "1">

AND

<Realm1 Name = "Test92"
Address = "No-IP address:8129"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "0.5"
TimeZone = "1">

Then tell your friends or some people to change their realmlist.wtf file to your No-IP address and then start your server.
Have a happy time playing with people on your private server!

Hope I helped dudes!

Code for .conf files
All notes are in this colour (orange). Make sure you DO NOT copy these into your .conf files!
All things that need to be changed are in this colour.
These .conf files are for Ascent Rev 4048. But, pretty much all Ascent versions have the same .conf files

#
#    Generated Level Level Cap

#        Default: 0
#
#    LimitedNames
#        This directive forces all character names to be a-z and A-Z compliant.

# AscentStats Setup                *** PRIVACY NOTE: READ ME CAREFULLY ***
#
#    These are the values that the AscentStats client uses while communicating with an AscentStats server.
#    Statistics will be sent anonymously if a server guid is not set.
#    If you do not want your ascent client communicating with AscentStats servers, disable it here.
#    No personally-identifiable information is sent in these transmissions. The actual data sent is:-
#      stats=Ascent|PLATFORM|CONFIG|ARCH|REV|PLAYER|QUEUE|ALLIANCE|HORDE|AVGLAT|PEAK
#
#    If you don't mind your server transmitting this information, please leave AscentStats enabled. It
#    allows our developers to understand our users needs better and in the end provide you with a better
#    product.
#
#    Enable
#         To disable stat transmission completely, set this to 0.

Quick Guide on how to make an Ascent Server v1 without how to make it public yet

This is a quick and simple guide on how to make an ascent server.

1) Download required things *links comming soon*
2) Extract the maps. Copy and paste ad.exe and the maps folder into your World of Warcraft folder
3) Let that run.
4) MySQL installation. Open the installer. Click typical install. Once it has done, click the configure MySQL sever now.
5) Select standard installation, type in a password. Click execute.
6) Install Navicat, its easy.
7) Click new connection, fill in the information.
Right click on the connection, click 'New Database'
9) Call it what you want.
10) Select the SQL file, and click execute. It could take a while.
11) Make an account by opening your database, click on view data. Eneter the information you want. az is admin, and 8 is BC enabled.
12) Configure your files by looking above.
13) Logonserver.exe then world.exe and logon.

FAQ
1) The boxes open then shut down?
You will need the latest .NET framework.
I think its .NET 3.5 now.

2) Ascent-World.exe says it cannot find the database
You have incorrectly configured your .conf files.

3) Ascent-World.exe says there is no dbc files!
You will need to copy the database (dbc) from your other Ascent folder.

4) MySQL and Vista?

NO WAY!, The link to ; Problems with Vista? Click here (MYSQL Error With Vista) doesn't work, please tell me what to do? i'm getting the same error as alot of the people. My old PC was XP, i could easily set up a server, but vista is utterly crap, would appreciate some help . ^_^

Edit; After getting of my lazy ass, trying to figure it out, i found the fix. This is a copy paste from internet (so other people doesn't need to look for it):

1.To install MySQL Server 5.0.51a in Vista

2. Use mysql-essential-5.0.51a-win32.msi
3. In the final step uncheck "Configure MySQL Server now"
4. Download and run Resource Hacker http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
5. Open ...MySQL Server 5.0binMySQLInstanceConfig.exe with Resource Hacker
6. Navigate to 2411033
7. Change
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asAdministrator" uiAccess="false">
to
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false">
8. Press "Compile script"
9. Exit Resource Hacker and save the result (overwrite the initial MySQLInstanceConfig.exe)
10. Now MySQLInstanceConfig.exe should start normally.
11. Configure the server.
12. Sometimes the server doesn't start:
a) Check Windows Firewall settings (3306/TCP)
b) Try changing the compability mode for the file ...MySQL Server 5.0binmysqld-nt.exe to Windows XP-SP2.
13. That's all.

Stupid leechers &#172;_&#172;

There is 400+ views and only two comments...

[chrisgalf]

are we suposed to move the folder after we've made the maps or just leve it in the wow folder? (if it sais in the guide i must have mised it sorry)

[j9sjam3]

Sorry, think thats my fault. Will update now and to answer your question...

Once the maps have done (the ad.exe has extracted the maps to the folder names maps in your World of Warcraft directory), you simply copy and paste the maps folder to your ascent folder (where the conf files are)

Hope that answered your question!

Off for the night.. c ya!

Hey what excacly is new version at top cause I download it and I couldn't figure it out with the tutorial please help thanks.

[Vednor]

Hey I have a big question, Mysql does not always work withmy windows, as in it wont proceed to set up or to configure. Any suggestions or any help?

[Vednor]

alright this relates to my previous post. After Installing Mysql, it asks me to configure it, I click the box that says cofnigure now so that it is checked, then i clikc finish, but after I cliokc finish, it just stops running. What do i do:S

[j9sjam3]

TehShyOne
The new version is the SpartanSP's repack V3 rather that v2. It has MySQL in it, along with Navicat Lite and updated Ascent. It also has an older version of Ascent if the newer version does not work.

Vednor
Are you running Vista? If so, I am looking for a way to make it work now. That happened on my laptop with Vista on it. If its not Vista, try to restart your PC, then click on all programs and click MySQL and re-configure MySQL instance. If that doesnt work, un-install MySQL, restart your PC and re-install MySQL.
Edit: Try to install with this MySQL, this might solve the problem...

[not627]

when i try to start ascent-logonserver,-realmser and -world I get a message, that says "the program could not start because a wrong programconfiguation"
what shall i do?

[j9sjam3]

not627
Are you sure you have configured the .conf files correctly?
Check it all over.
If not, try using the older version of Ascent.
