Starting off

[Nikentic]

Hey!

I'm trying to get into this Emulation stuff.

How can i start off? If anyone can, please add [email protected] on msn and help me!

I'm trying to get some people and get a server up, isn't going well since i don't got any experience.

There's a bunch of great and super easy-to-follow guides here on MMowned, check out 711's MaNGOS 3.0.3 Noob Pack or maybe Drakath's ArcEmu 3.0.9 guide.

I've personally only tried out 711's guide, and it worked like a charm.
I'm pretty sure Drakthar's guide is just as good. :)

Well, i know how to get a server up. I know everything on how to get a server up. I just need to know how i can start up getting a team, maybe learning LUA etc

[Hellgawd]

If you wish to learn LUA, I suggest trying the Guides forum as well. Some of the guides for learning LUA in there are phenomenal, you can't go wrong. As for getting a team ect, I suggest setting up a server successfully yourself on hamachi, maybe getting a few friends to try it out, and then work your way up.

Ehh, my internet sucks so me hosting is not an option ^^ You know where i can get a host?

By the way, what version of wow should i use? ^^

[Maybepie]

You should probably use the latest version of WoW, or probably vanilla WoW.

As for an host I'm not too sure, it's not for free, that's a fact.
Try and search around on google and see if you can find anything for a decent price.

Or ask one of your friends to do the hosting when you're still in a learning phase, as a decent server gets pretty expensive. (You could even do it yourself when testing stuff like some Lua scripts you've made, unless your internet is so shit u can't even host 2-3 people)


If you're looking for a decent guide to start Lua I recommend:

and a C++ one by mager(not recommended if you've never done any scripting before..):
