Extracting Cameras, DBC (or DB2), Maps, VMaps & MMaps
Cameras, DBC and Maps files
cd <your WoW client directory> /home/<username>/server/bin/mapextractor mkdir /home/<username>/server/data # Next line is 3.3.x only cp -r Cameras dbc maps /home/<username>/server/data # Next line is 6.x, and up only cp -r Cameras dbc maps gt /home/<username>/server/data edit worldserver.conf and change datadir from "." to "../data"
Visual Maps (aka vmaps) Note: If you stop vmap4extractor before finish you will need to delete the Buildings directory before start again.
You can also extract vmaps which will take quite a while depending on your machine (up to hours on ancient hardware).
cd <your WoW client directory> /home/<username>/server/bin/vmap4extractor mkdir vmaps /home/<username>/server/bin/vmap4assembler Buildings vmaps cp -r vmaps /home/<username>/server/data
When this is complete you will receive the following message which can be safely ignored.
Processing Map 724 [################################################################] Extracting GameObject models...Extracting World\Wmo\Band\Final_Stage.wmo No such file. Couldn't open RootWmo!!! Done! Extract V4.00 2012_02. Work complete. No errors.
Movement Maps (aka mmaps - optional RECOMMENDED)
Extracting mmaps will take quite a while depending on your machine (up to hours).
cd <your WoW client directory> mkdir mmaps /home/<username>/server/bin/mmaps_generator cp -r mmaps /home/<username>/server/data
Setting up the configuration files
First of all you need to find the two default config files (named worldserver.conf.dist and authserver.conf.dist (bnetserver.conf.dist in 6.x) ) and copy these to their namesakes without the .dist extension. You can find them within /trinitycore/etc/ (may vary).
cp worldserver.conf.dist worldserver.conf cp authserver.conf.dist authserver.conf # 3.3.5 only cp bnetserver.conf.dist bnetserver.conf # 4.3.4 and up
