Thread: Are you newer to Repacks? [ARCEMU]

Ok hey guys im fairly new to the forums and this is my first guide so be gracious.

Ok now im going to do a guide with a repack .
I dont recommend using a repack because it can have core stucture problems.
I did use a repack recently and its been working great
You can make a Fresh new server if you compile it from
www.arcemu.com

OK now to the Guide.

First you need to have Dot.Net Framework
Best for xp/vista is -3.5
Download details: .NET Framework 3.5
The new Windows 7 release wich is more stable is 4.0 - It can be downloaded from
Download details: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer)Next you should have C++ Redist.
Download details: Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

With hosting you can use mydns. - i dont reccommend, :/ i had problems with it
www.mydns.bboy.net

You can also use no-ip - i Used this and it was a first time charm
www.No-IP.com

Also you will need a SQL database editing program
I used Navicat and HeidiSQL

I used Navicat for editing things like start spawns, items you spawn with ect...
Navicat Oracle, MySQL Admin Tool - the World's Best Oracle Manager, SQLite GUI Tool, MySQL GUI, MariaDB Frontend & PostgreSQL GUI for Windows, Mac OS X & Linux - Download Now! Support Access to MySQL, Excel to MySQL, MySQL editor, MySQL administrator
I used heidisql for adding items to the DB (database)
www.heidisql.com

Now Heres for you people that havedon this before but dont really know what to do all so much
(S1).
3.Extract Repack to your drive .

4.Open folder repack/tools/Map Extractor , copy/paste the exe in your wow directory. <--- Usually C:\program files\world_of_warcraft
On a mac
Applications\world_of_warcraft

5.Run ad.exe

6.Wait a long time for process to complete. Maybe 1-2 hrs :P suckish XD

7.When the process is complete copy/paste the folders named "maps" in repack/ArcEmu folder

8.Go to Repack/Server and run mysql.exe (if your planning on making it public and already have done so Run. apache.bat also (its the webserver that enables you to do account creation ect.) , go to Repack/Arcemu and run arcemu-logonserver,arcemu-world .

9.Change your realmlist with "set realmlist 127.0.0.1" . <---- with this you can also change it to
your external host ip (later on discussed)
__________________________________________________ _____________________________
Also i have found a mac guide
1. Install MySQL
2. Install Fink
3. Using Fink, install and compile mysql15-dev
4. Open /usr/include/c++/4.0.0/cstdlib and comment out the "#undef malloc" and "#undef realloc" lines. You may want to uncomment these lines after you've finished, as it may cause problems for compiling other things
5. Edit the "configure" file in the antrix folder, and replace "ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=no" with "ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes". There are two occurrences of this I believe. Basically it's trying to find GNU Malloc and Realloc, which OS X doesn't use, but it doesn't matter.
6. Do the same for "ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull=no" - replace with "ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull=yes"
7. In a terminal window, type "sudo -s" and enter your password
8. type "ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib /usr/local/lib/mysql" (without quotes)
9. type "grep -R -export-dynamic *" (make sure you are in the antrix directory). Any file that shows up needs to be edited to remove all occurrences of that. ld in Mac OS X doesn't use that flag, and make will fail if it's in there.
10. type "./configure --prefix=/usr/antrix --with-python --enable-cli --enable-ra --target i386" (without quotes of course)
11. If that goes through, type "make"
12. If that goes through, type "make install"
13. cd to /usr/antrix, and mkdir etc, then copy the .conf files there (cp ~/<path to antrix>/src/*.conf etc)
14. cd to bin, then mkdir maps and dbc. Copy the necessary files to them
15. Use your favorite MySQL tool to import the apdb.sql file (I like CocoaMySQL).
16. Set up your .conf files (there are instructions on this forum for that, or just read the instructions in the files).
17. In /usr/antrix/bin type ./logonserver
18. Create a new terminal window, and navigate back to /usr/antrix/bin, and type ./antrix

then
At the top hit DNS HOSTING

Click add my domain
put in your server info you want into the www. box

Make sure the second step is put on Register my domain (if not you will end up paying$$)

Skip the third step about the mail

Now close the webpage (assuming you created it right)

Last step is to go to your router and forward these ports

3306-3306
3724-3724
8093-8093
8129-8129
6881-6999

Make sure they are both UDP/and/TCP
