Downloading the Database

Download the latest database compilation from TrinityCore Downloads (you may need to click on Next at page footer to see the proper TDB files).

• Note that there are different database compilations available for different branches of TrinityCore, for example 3.3.5 and master.

Click the database release you want to download, scroll down to the bottom and you should see a link to download TDB_full_*.7z the green Download button on top right next to right column.

• You want to download the file in .7z format - that is the database download and the others are not
• The file is in .7z format, so you will need an archive program like 7zip to unpack it.

Installing The Trinity Databases

From the unpacked 7z folder copy the SQL files that start with "TDB_world_" and "TDB_hotfixes_" (6.x branch only) to the directory where your worldserver binary is (DON'T RENAME THOSE FILES OR AUTOMATIC SETUP WILL FAIL).

NOTICE: you don't need to import any databases, only the file creating users. If you have plans to import databases manually you need to disable autoupdater on config files.

If you have plans to change default mysql usernames and passwords make sure you have set valid database login information and the table names you want to use in the same config files (authserver/bnetserver/worldserver.conf) under "CONNECTIONS AND DIRECTORIES".

• Notice that the databases are not created yet. The names you set in the config will be used for the created databases.
  

Start worldserver and press enter when it asks if you want to create databases.

After the server has created the databases it will look for maps and vmaps, if not found it will exit.

Keeping the DB up to date

Both core and DB fixes will be committed to the TrinityCore repository, which you may also view in Git Extensions by following the "Fetch" instructions in Keeping the Source Up-to-Date Windows / Linux. Pending fixes can be found on our tracker with data from the developers and contributors.

Final Steps - Running and Connecting to Your Server

After completing all the steps listed above you can now start your server.

• Run the authserver (bnetserver on master)  and worldserver to run your server. Both must stay running for your server to accept connections to it.
  • Tip: The authserver (bnetserver on master) allows you to enter your username (email on master)/password to connect to the Realm Selection screen, and the worldserver allows you to connect to the realm itself. Once you are in-game, the authserver (bnetserver on master) can be safely closed if you wish.
    

• Next create your Login Account by typing directly into the worldserver window the GM Command account create. Syntax: account create $account $password – (see examples below)
  

• If you wish to set the account as a GM then type into the worldserver window: account set gmlevel $account #level #realmid where $account is the account name to change, #level can be 0-3 and #realmid is the realm ID. Setting a #level of "3" is GM account level (higher numbers = more access), and the "-1" is the realm ID that stands for "all realms".
  
  

  Sugerencia

  Open the world database in your database management tool and find the command table. This table shows a full list of GM commands, their descriptions, and the security (GM level) needed to use them. You will not find a more accurate list of current GM commands anywhere else (assuming you keep your database up-to-date). The security level for a given command identifies that THAT GM level can use the command, along with all GM levels above it. For example, if a command has a security of 2, all accounts with a GM level of 2, 3, and 4 will be able to use it. More detailed information can be found at GM Commands Page.

  
  

• Minimize your servers and run WoW (never run WoW using the Launcher unless you edited the realmlist.wtf's patchlist option above).
• Log in using the user/pass you just created.
• The Trinity realm should be selectable. Log in, create a character, and you're all done!

Example: account set gmlevel test 3 -1

Login to your account:

Log in with account test and password test through wow.exe.

master

Note: The username used for setting your gmlevel is not the same as the username you create with bnetaccount. You must manually find the username in auth.account.username. These are formatted as 1#1, 2#1, etc.

Troubleshooting

"Unable to open wmo_list.txt! Nothing extracted."

you need to run Mapextractor.exe before the makevmaps_simple.bat.

SELECT * FROM `version`;

Thanks to the automatic DB updater the single step you have to do, is to fetch a new revision (Keeping the Source Up-to-Date Windows / Linux) and the appropriate updates will we applied at server startup.
