How To Create Private Server?


  

First of all, I must warn those who want to create a private server. While I may have the steps to do it, I must remind you that this is against Blizzard’s Terms of Services. It is illegal to do it but if you think you can do it and escape without getting caught, then only you can proceed.

Or else, you will have to face the legal issues which of course the verdict is definitely not on your side.

So, here it goes, the instructions to create your own server.

First of all, get what you need. These are the files to create the server. So, you must get all of them.

What you will need:

1. sqlyog – to manage your mysql.  sqlyog
2. the wow client – self explanatory.  client
3. ad.exe – used to extract maps.  ad.rar
4. dbc extractor – extracts dbc files from client.  dbc_extract
5. mangos core – obviously the main component. Filebeam
6. udb – the database.  udb database
7. mysql – needed for db mysql
8. vmap extract – extracts vmaps from client. vmap_extract

Instructions:

1. First step is to extract the Mangos core just so we can put stuff in it as we go. Put it in your desired location for example c:\wow\mangos.

2. Then you will have to extract the dbc files by copying the dbc extractor files into C:&#92Program Files&#92World of Warcraft&#92data&#92enUS
(you can get more help by reading the readme in the dbc extractor folder).

When you have done it you should see a dbc folder and copy it into your Mangos core folder.

3. Now you will need to create a folder with the name Maps as this is the simplest name I can think of to name a folder that Maps will go into. Now place ad.exe into the root of the WoW folder then run it to extract the Maps into the new folder (Maps). Next copy the Maps folder into your Mangos core folder.

4. So, now you have the dbc files and the Maps, what we need now is to get our MySQL up and running, please install MySQL at this point, any settings will pretty much work just please remember your password if you do set one as I know I have a hard time keeping up with the barrage of passwords my mind is flooded with.

5. Install the SQLyog and you would need to first complete some details as it is the first run, it is okay, you will be fine. When it asks for a few things this is what you will type in. If it asks for the MySQL address type in localhost or 127.0.0.1 (it is the same) and where it says “User” you type in what you stated when you installed MySQL, and the same goes for the “Password”.

6. Now you have to load the information into the MySQL databases. Right click on NAME@localhost and create a new database and name it “realmd” then go to restore from sql dump and open realmd.sqland that will populate the tables within the newly created database. Create a new database this time the same way but name it mangos and restore it from the database found in your udb
files. Also you will need to do the same for the characters.sql found in your mangos folder and name it “characters”.

Now open up Mangos.conf in the mangos core folder and make it look like shown below:

# Data directory setting. # Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may # contain space characters. DataDir = ""

Keep reading throughout Mangos.conf and change the the LoginDatabaseInfo line to:

LoginDatabaseInfo     = "127.0.0.1;3306;"your mysql name";"your mysql pass";realmd" WorldDatabaseInfo     = "127.0.0.1;3306;"your mysql name";"your mysql pass";mangos" CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;"your mysql name";"your mysql pass";characters"

Once you are done with this file, open up realmd.conf and you only need to find one line in this conf file.

LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;realmd"

Let the above reflect what you normally write in the other files as previously stated, it all should reflect your database settings.

Now, you have done everything you need to run the server. Let’s get it online and running. Good luck!
