[Part 1]Understanding the config files

**bljardkungen** · 30-01-09, 08:11 AM

Whell many people got problems whith understanding there config files so
i will try to make a good tutorial here:P
Eatch part will be about a new config file:P
so lets start with a easy one

arcemu-realms.conf
if you open it with notepad it will look like this if you remove al the coments

Code:

<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1"
    Port = "8093"
    Name = "Default Logon"
    RealmCount = "1">

<Realm1 Name = "Test Realm"
    Address = "127.0.0.1:8129" 
    Icon = "PVP"
    Population = "1.0"
    TimeZone = "1">

1. LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1
This part is the address to the logonserver.
If you are hosting the logonserver on the same computer as the world you
dont need to change this.
But if you want your realm to register at any one else server you will need to
change this to there address but you you need to change some more things to
so dont think that's al :P

2.Port = "8093"
This is the port to the logonserver lisen on it should be the same as in your
logonserver.conf or there if you want your realm on any one else server.

3. Name = "Default Logon"
This is the name of the logon this isnt realy importent name it whatever you want.

4. RealmCount = "1"
This is the number of how many realms you got.
so if you are only making one realm keep it 1
but if you are making two realms change it to 2

5. Realm1 Name = "Test Realm"
This is the name of your realm change it to dessired realm name for example
WOTLK High Rate Realm

6. Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
The red part is the address people use to connect to your server so you need
to change it to your external IP if people should be able to connect
example 81.235.114.23
and the red part is the port that the realm lissen on not realy any need to change that.

7. Icon = "PVP"
This is the realm type. you can change it to
PVP, Normal, RPPVP, RP

8. Population = "1.0"
This is the population of the realm
0 means that the realm are low poppulated
1 Means that the realm are medium poppulated
2 Means that the realm are high poppulated

9. TimeZone = "1"
This is the time zone of the server you can change it so it's your country
or that it show as test realm or tornament and things like that.
just simply change the number to what number that fits for you.
here is a list of the numbers.

Code:

    0=Korean            16=China
    1=Development            17=CN1
    2=United States            18=CN2
    3=Oceanic            19=CN3
    4=Latin America            20=CN4
    5=Tournament            21=CN5
    6=Korean            22=CN6
    8=English            23=CN7
    9=German            24=CN8
    10=French            25=Tournament
    11=Spanish            26=Test Server
    12=Russian            27=Tournament
    13=Tournament            28=QA Server
    14=Taiwan            29=CN9
    15=Tournament            30=TestServer2

10. if you got problems with connecting to your own server but others can.
make a 2'nd realm here simply att the end add

Code:

<Realm2 Name = "Test Realm"
    Address = "127.0.0.1:8129" 
    Icon = "PVP"
    Population = "1.0"
    TimeZone = "1">

But keep the address on this one 127.0.0.1:8129
And you also need to change RealmCount = "1"
To RealmCount = "2"

That was al about the realm config file!
if i have missed any thing plz tell me or if there is any thing you dont
understand!

Plz if you like this tutorial show it.

and then i will keep on making tutorials!
