IDIOT ARC - EASY 3.3A SERVER

I take no credit for this project or for the info within, the work has been done by many sources and I don't care to list them.
(to those that see there work in here, I thank you for doing what you have done)

Idiot Arc is not a repack in the sense of the word as much as it is the most basic compile you can get that supports 3.3a. Its designed for simplicity, just follow the steps below and you will have a working 3.3a ArcEmu server.

Step 1
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and open

Step 2
extract contents of zip file to any location

Step 3
Open up the maps folder and copy the file ad.exe

Step 4
In a second browser, locate your world of warcraft install folder

Step 5
create a folder inside the WoW install folder named: "maps"

Step 6
Copy the ad.exe file into the WoW install folder and run it.
note: this process can take quite some time to finish, you are effectively building the files (ie maps) that your server uses to create your world. You may do steps 7 and 9 (but not 8) while this is working

Step 7
open up the data\enUS folder inside your wow install. Find the file realmlist.wtf, open it in notepad, and change all of its contents to the follow: "set realmlist 127.0.0.1"

Step 8
After ad.exe has closed itself (step 6), copy the files inside the maps folder that you created in step 5 to the maps folder that you found the ad.exe in (step 3)

Step 9
Open up the folder labeled 'desktop' and copy and paste the files within directly to your desktop

Step 10
Run the files you copied to your desktop named: step 1, step 2, step 3, and step 4 in that order.

Step 11
note: at this time you might want to create a shortcut to your wow.exe file put it with the other 4 files on your desktop, as the launcher.exe is no longer used.
Start WoW via the wow.exe file inside the wow install folder.
use username: admin
password: admin

Step 12
Enjoy
