Making your own server

by Drooppi » Wed Feb 18, 2015 7:30 am

Okay guys, so with all the hype, and me still having 10 days of holidays, I want to put those to good use and start doing nothing on a own server to see how code runs etc.

Problem is:
- I seem to suck with google
- I can't find a decent tutorial of how to setup a 1.12.x server

Edit: crappy editor submitted after I hit enter, great.

Good things are:
- I have time to spend
- I know programming (although never really bothered with anything "web-related")

So where do I find a tutorial simply to get me running, that'd be a good start. And maybe something that shows how this whole thing works? The code seems quite... technical and therefore it's hard to just "dive in"
I'd have expected something on getMangos, but can't find a complete setup guide.

Cheers

You could always start with one of many repacks out there.

Like this one or this one (a bit older version of Mangos I think)

AC-web has basically everything for WoW emulation

Thanks for the suggestion on the repacks... I had a look at it but... there's no code no nothing? So it's great for people who want to roam the world and have fun as gms, but not really helpful for what I'm trying to achieve.

I'm surprised I can't find a complete tutorial at getmangos.eu

It was years ago since I played around with Mangos.. but using these repacks you can still script bossfights, edit spells, characters and everything you would normally do. These repacks (afaik) are basically just a GUI for starting and closing the server and comes with some premade scripts.

Did you even try searching for some howto?
Seems like you didn't even try google....
...how could you be able to do anything? do you really wanna be spoonfed?

Anyway, I will give the benefit of the doubt:

Better dont bother, you will spend a tremendous ammount of time and work to get it on a good level for no real award, and its highly unlikely there will be a big pop. when there is so many other servers and WoW isnt really that new anymore to attract large groups of newbie players.
But if you really want to waste your time go ahead, everything new is fun.
