[Release] Project Anthrax's Land before wow 3.3.3 Funserver

**Yaeri** · 03-05-10, 05:05 AM

Hi, first of all: thank you for this repack.

I am a complete and utter noob when it comes to custom wow servers. After lots and lots of searching on the net, yours is the first I ran into that does everything for me AND uses the same version of WoW as I did. Or so I thought. I had another 3.3.3 version. But I've already removed patches and then repatched all the way up to the version your repack is using.

So everything is installed now according to the instructions in your readme, databases have been added and patched with sql thingies, realmslist is modified and that is the point where I'm stuck.

If I try to launch wow, it will immediately try to download the update to 3.3.3.11723
I then assumed I have to use the arcemu-world.exe or the arcemu-logon, but both of these give an error message in their DOS-like box:
"Connection failed due to "access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' <Using password: YES>'

So where do I go from here?
If there are some noob steps I still need to take and the info is already out here somewhere, a nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Glory, I cannot pm you back because I need a certain post count for pm-ing, so I'll reply here.

Thanks for the generous offer. I'll take you up on it next week, as current week's work schedule places me outside what I think is your timeframe. (my schedule switches between late shift and early shift every week so next week will be ok)

All righty, for the other noob like me: I managed to get a little bit further. The arcemu logon and the other thing fail at the password phase because they don't yet know the password you and I have chosen.
In the project anthrax repack map where the arcemu-world.Exe and other arcemu file are located is a map called configs. In that config map are both a logon and world config file that can be opened with wordpad. Both of them have several lines referring to a very simple password. Change those to your own password.
This gets the logonserver file to run to where I think it's supposed to be. It's in a state where it says "Success! ready for connections"
The world file runs up to where it says "[Arcemu] logoncommclient: connection failed. Will try again in 10 seconds."

If I delete the blizz downloader for the next patch in my wow directory, I can get all the way to the login screen without the game trying to patch, but once I've entered a login and password I found in the database it either tells me to restart wow because a patch needs to be downloaded, that the login server is down, or that it can't connect.
