[Epic] How to make 4.0.6 WoW Server - Compiling SkyfireEmu

heres how to make your own 4.0.6a core/repack enjoy!
IF GIT FAILS TO GET THE CORE AND DATABASE FILES THEN GET THEM HERE DIRECTLY: 2Shared

Step 1: Getting the tools we need.
Git Download
Visual C++ 2008 Express or Visual C++ 2010 Express (Express doesnt support x64 compiling so beware. for x64 u need ultimate which costs money.)
MySQL server
.NET Framework 3.5 (you should already have it via your Windows updates)
HeidiSQL
DO NOT USE NAVICAT : Due to NaviCat not being able to handle // style comments (standard SQL) but i recommend using it to create accounts in the db so get it here: Navicat Lite
CMake 2.8.3 for Windows
OpenSSL for Windows
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package SP1 [x86] / [x64]
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package [x86] / [x64]

Step 2: Compiling AND Pulling the Source
Before you start this step you need to have installed Git and Visual Studio.
go to c:/ and make a SkyFireEMU folder
Example: C:/SkyFireEMU
Right click the folder and press "Git GUI Here" and press clone repository and fill in the data as follows:

Code:

Source Location: git://github.com/SkyFire/SkyFireEMU.git Target Directory: C:\SkyFireEMU\Core

Click on 'clone'. and this might take some minuts up to 20minutes depending on the machine. When its done we will have the core in C:/SkyFireEMU/Core
Note Before Continuing:

Code:

Also, if you have downloaded the required software above, then you should have the MySQL / OpenSSL headers and related files already. - For OpenSSL, do NOT use the light version - For MySQL, if you use anything other than 5.1.x, do NOT use the "essential"-version

.
Now open up Cmake, it will say:

Code:

Where is source code: Where to build the binaries:

fill in the data as follows:

Code:

Where is source code: C:/SkyFireEMU/Core Where to build the binaries: C:/Build

if it asks to create the build folder select yes. when u filled in the data as noted u need to click "Configure" choose Visual Studio 10 or Visual Studio 10 WIN64
After clicking Finish it will start checking through the source code and analyze the CMakeLists.txt spread all over the source tree.
When done it will show you a list of options (the red parts). the ones that needs to be checked are:

Code:

Scripts Servers Tools USE_COREPCH USE_MYSQL_SOURCES USE_SCRIPTPCH

click on Configure again to make it confirm the options we chose and build the neccessary files. when its done it will say

Code:

Configuring done

now click Generate, when its done close cmake and go to c:/Build and open up the Microsoft Visual Studio Solution named SkyFire.
Step 3: Compiling the Source
Go on the top menu 'Build' and click on Configuration Manager. Make sure you set the build to release Win32 or release x64 depending on your OS.

Code:

Warning: Visual C++ 2008 Express edition does not support the 64 bit platform. You will need the fully bought one. (thank god for torrents ;))

Now go back to the 'Build' menu and click on Build. This might take 15-30 Minutes depending on the machine.
When done it will say:

Code:

========== Build: 19 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 1 skipped ========== or ========== Build: 19 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 1 skipped ==========

now we can find all our freshly new compiled binaries in the Build folder that we specified in the Cmake proccess.
You will need the following files in order for the core to function properly:

Code:

ace.dll authserver.conf.dist authserver.exe genrev.exe libmysql.dll worldserver.conf.dist worldserver.exe

Delete any other file which is not in the above list, as you will not need them.
take all of these files to a folder in the desktop called:

Code:

SkyFireEMU

Step 4: Importing the database and playing
Go here:

Code:

C:\SkyFireEMU\Core\sql\base

and import:

Code:

characters_database auth_database

in mysql, the auth_database.sql goes into a database called auth which u need to create and the same for characters.
make a folder called SkyFireDB in C:/
example:

Code:

C:/SkyFireDB

right click in and press "Git GUI Here" and press clone repository and fill in the data as follows:

Code:

Source Location: git://github.com/SkyFire/SkyFireDB.git Target Directory: C:/SkyFireDB/Database

and press "Clone" when its done close Git.
Go to "C:/SkyFireDB/Database/Tools" and open up the "Database_Installer.bat" and enter your MySQL information as follows
http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/9...staller.th.png
and import the world database.
Continue To Next Step:
now open the SkyFire folder at desktop and put the files that u get HERE / Mirror! in the folder and delete the authserver.conf.dist and worldserver.conf.dist

use the extractors located in:

Code:

C:\Build\406a_extractors

to extract maps,dbs,vmaps but before u run the tools go to WTF folder and Open Config.wtf with notepad and change:

Code:

SET accounttype "LK"

To

Code:

SET accounttype "CT"

there run the tools and take all the new files to this location:

Code:

C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\SkyFireEMU\Data

open skyfireemu folder in desktop. now open up authserver.exe and let it load and type this in:

Code:

account create admin admin after that type this in: account set gmlevel admin 3 1

start your worldserver.exe let it load and edit your realmlist to: set realmlist 127.0.0.1 and login with
Username: admin
Password: admin
DONE!

Enjoy Playing World of Warcraft if you wanna play alone or with your friends :)

The C compiler identification is unknown The CXX compiler identification is unknown
Check for working C compiler: bcc32
CMake Error: your C compiler: "bcc32" was not found. Please set CMAKE_C_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.

This is making me angry

Can anyone help me fix it, please and ty :)

Help?

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Visual Studio 10 Win64". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:C:/Build/CMakeFiles/CMakeCCompiler.cmake
CMake Error: Could not find cmake module file:C:/Build/CMakeFiles/CMakeCXXCompiler.cmake
Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

downloaded: openssl-1.0.0d. is that the right one and where does it need to go?

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:91 (MESSAGE):

thanks

First off -- thank you for the guide, everything ran smoothly to get it up and running.

I'm having an issue connecting to make a character though. I can authenticate, but I cannot get past the "Server Select" screen. It says "Logging in the game server" but then just remains there and never moves past. There are no errors in the logs that I can see, so I'm not sure why that is happening.

Cheers,

Domosan

possible same problem

hi, i got the same error as costomizor when i tried to do the configuration on cmake but it has(missing: OPENSSL_LIBRARIES and OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR) i couldnt find a reply to his post so now im asking, plz help.
