Windows Server Setup

1. Browse into your build directory (C:\Build\bin\RelWithDebInfo\) and copy the following files into your World of Warcraft folder (where the wow.exe is located).

mapextractor.exe
mmaps_generator.exe
vmap4extractor.exe
vmap4assembler.exe

1. Browse into C:\Azerothcore\apps\extractor and copy “extractor.bat” into your World of Warcraft folder with the previous files.
2. Create mmaps and vmaps folders in your World of Warcraft directory.
3. Launch extractor.bat and select your extractor options.

<b>dbc</b>, <b>maps</b> AND <b>vmaps</b> are needed to make server work properly!

• Do not attempt to stop <b>vmaps</b> exctraction process. It is finished when it prints “Press any key…”. It will create two new folders: <b>buildings</b> and <b>vmaps</b> The <b>buildings</b> folder is completely useless post-running and can be safely deleted.
• Don't run another task before the first is finished or you will have errors.
• If you stop vmap4extractor before finish you will need to delete the Buildings directory before start again.

<b>Optional but extremely recommended: Extract mmaps.</b> Do not attempt to stop this process while it is exctracting. site.data.alerts.end

- Create a new folder in <b>C:\Build\bin\RelWithDebInfo</b> called <b>Data</b>
- Move the vmaps, maps, dbc, cameras into the <b>Data</b> folder.

First of all you need to find the two default config files (named worldserver.conf.dist and authserver.conf.dist) and copy them. Then rename the copies their namesakes without the .dist extension. You can find them within /build/bin/configs/ (may vary).

Open the .conf files and scroll down to LoginDatabaseInfo, WorldDatabaseInfo, and CharacterDatabaseInfo and enter MySQL login information for the server to be able to access your database.

On a newly compiled configuration, you will have the following values by default

LoginDatabaseInfo     = "127.0.0.1;3306;acore;acore;acore_auth" worldserver.conf / authserver.conf
WorldDatabaseInfo     = "127.0.0.1;3306;acore;acore;acore_world" worldserver.conf
CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;acore;acore;acore_characters" worldserver.conf

They follow this structure:

Variablename = "MySQLIP;Port;Username;Password;database"
