corecraft

corecraft is a World of Wacraft 2.4.3 (The Burning Crusade) Server based on MaNGOS and the work of ccshiro. This project is a fork of the ccshiro/corecraft repository.

The goal of this fork is to make it compile on modern linux systems, providing install instructions and updated directory structures. Do not expect windows support or any active development here. This fork exists only out of my curiosity.

Install Guide

Preparation

ArchLinux is used in this example. For debian based sytems use apt instead of pacman and replace the packages with the corresponding ones of your distribution.

pacman -S base-devel boost cmake git sparsehash
git clone https://github.com/shagu/corecraft.git

Compile

Change make -j8 to the number of CPUs/Threads you have. The higher the number, the more threads will be utilizied to compile the core.

mkdir build; cd build
cmake ../server -DTOOLS=1 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install
make -j8
make install

Game Files

In order to make the server startup, it is required to extract client files first. Copy the extractors to your TBC Gameclient (2.4.3) and execute then. Move the results back to your server directory.

cd install/bin/
cp dbc_map_extractor mmap_generator vmap4_assembler vmap4_extractor ~/games/tbc
cd ~/games/tbc

mkdir vmaps

./dbc_map_extractor
./vmap4_extractor
./vmap4_assembler Buildings/ vmaps
./mmap_generator

cd -
cp -r ~/games/tbc/{dbc,maps,vmaps,mmaps} ..

Database

pacman -S mariadb
mariadb-install-db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
systemctl start mariadb
mysql_secure_installation

mysql -uroot -p < server/sql/create_mysql.sql

mysql -umangos -p"mangos" characters < database/characters.sql
mysql -umangos -p"mangos" characters < database/characters_db_version.sql

mysql -umangos -p"mangos" realmd < database/realmd.sql
mysql -umangos -p"mangos" realmd < database/realmd_db_version.sql

mysql -umangos -p"mangos" mangos < database/world.sql
mysql -umangos -p"mangos" mangos < database/scriptdev2.sql

Create Realm/Account

mysql -umangos -p"mangos" realmd
    INSERT INTO `realmd`.`account` (`id`, `username`, `sha_pass_hash`, `gmlevel`, `v`, `s`) VALUES ('1', 'ADMINISTRATOR', 'a34b29541b87b7e4823683ce6c7bf6ae68beaaac', '3', '0', '0');
    INSERT INTO `realmlist` (`id`, `name`, `address`, `port`, `icon`, `realmflags`, `timezone`, `allowedSecurityLevel`, `population`, `realmbuilds`, `alliance_online`, `horde_online`) VALUES (1, 'corecraft', '127.0.0.1', 8085, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, '', 0, 0);
    exit;

Startup

Move to the build/install directory and make sure all client exports are there. The directory should look like this:

$ ls -1
  bin
  dbc
  etc
  maps
  mmaps
  run-mangos
  vmaps

Create the required config files and modify them to your needs:

mv etc/mangosd.conf.dist etc/mangosd.conf
mv etc/realmd.conf.dist etc/realmd.conf
vim etc/realmd.conf etc/mangosd.conf

Now launch ./bin/realmd and ./bin/mangosd.

Original Readme (author: ccshiro):

This is the codebase of corecraft as was when the project stopped.
Its's filled with problems and bad code, and should not be used in a production server.
A lot of effort was put into the content, so we're putting it up for downloads
if anyone is curious to check it out. The git history has been stripped as it contained
private information.

The server has been tested on Ubuntu compilled with GCC and Clang. It uses various
C++11/14 features and might not compile on Windows with MSVC.

To run the server:
Put scriptdev2 in bindings folder.
Run CMake on the server directory, resolve any dependencies you're missing.
Compile & install with make.
Generate data files with the tools (-DTOOLS=1 for CMake).
Set up the database, found in database/.
Fix the config files.
Run mangosd and realmd.
(setup_test.txt might be useful, its the steps we took to set up our many tests)
