Before proceeding, please make sure that you have your database set up properly. |
|
First of all you need to find the two default config files (named worldserver.conf.dist and authserver.conf.dist) and copy these to their namesakes without the .dist extension.
|
Scroll down to the LoginDatabaseInfo, WorldDatabaseInfo, and CharacterDatabaseInfo config options and enter MySQL Server login information for the server to be able to connect to your database.
On a newly compiled config, you should have the following values:
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;trinity;trinity;auth" WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;trinity;trinity;world" CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;trinity;trinity;characters" |
It follows this structure:
Variablename = "MySQLIP;Port;Loginname;Password;database" |
The following settings must be verified:
All other default options should be sufficient, but it is recommended that you take some time after your server is finished to read through the configs and see all the ways to customize your server.
If you choose NOT to run vmaps or mmaps, you must make the following changes:
|
If you change your mind and decide to extract and use vmaps or mmaps later, make sure to change these values back to "1" to take advantage of them. |
For most worldserver.conf setting changes, you can simply type .reload config in-game to see changes instantly without restarting the server. |
Scroll down to the LoginDatabaseInfo and enter MySQL Server login information.
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;trinity;trinity;auth" |
It follows this structure:
Variablename = "MySQLIP;Port;Loginname;Password;database" |
Just like the worldserver.conf, you have to enter these necessary values and customize your preferences.
You need to make sure that your authserver application directs incoming connections to your realm.
External IP – If you want other people to connect to your server, use your external IP. Visit http://www.whatismyip.com/ to find your external IP address.
The TrinityCore Team and Owners DO NOT in any case sponsor nor support illegal public servers. If you use these projects to run an illegal public server and not for testing and learning it is your own personal choice. |
After completing all the steps listed above you can now start your server.
For 6.x and 4.3.4 type in worldserver console:
.bnetaccount create test@test test
Login with email test@test and password test
Mini-guide for 6.x:
You can type commands inside the worldserver program, similar to a command prompt.
For 3.3.5a:
Example: account set gmlevel test 3 -1
DO !NEVER! create an account directly into your database unless you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that you know what and how to do! |
The "3" is the GM account level (higher numbers = more access), and the "-1" is the realm ID that stands for "all realms".
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. |
