Ive had a couple of problems while installing them, I might make another post about other issues I encountered. But here is one thing someone on the discord told me: do NOT use the newest version of boost. I did that and got like 30 errors while compiling. I got recommended version 1.83 and that solved most of those compiler errors (I suppose older versions than 1.83 work aswell).
Is it possible to get "NPC Bots" added to this like Emucoach done ? I wanted to make a Cata PLUS server like "Dingledork" did with his WOTLK repack. I also want to add a progression phases so you cant skip content. Do you think this possible ? I know I probably asking too much lol
Thanks for the tutorial, I managed to get everything running, however I built the server on a VM and can only log into the game account on the VM. On the host machine I just cannot make it work. Do you have any experience with that?
A few things could be happening. The first I can think of is did you freshly patch the game client on the non VM machine you were trying it with? Temporarily disable the firewall on the server and the client machine and see if it can communicate.
I left a response on your other comment but basically since this project is no longer maintained it's code is not on par with visual studios latest updates. So it requires a tweak.

I unfortunately have a problem.I have followed the instructions step by step and am now at the point where the worldserver is started for the first time.

@@Digital-Scriptorium Thanks for the quick reply. Thats the odd thing: I downloaded and installed version 1 of openssl (1.1.1w from September 2023).

Very soon! Keep an eye out in the next 2 weeks :)
@@Digital-Scriptorium Thank you man
No problem!
I'm trying to compile I'm getting the lzma.lib file missing error
Hmmm, that's a new one. I would recommend checking on this projects discord channel with that issue.
@@Digital-Scriptorium python's anaconda 3 is causing conflict to be able to compile the version
@@daniloreis4738 hmmm, interesting.
dont know what i could be doing wrong, i followed all the steps but it keeps failing the build step in visual studio
It seems the latest version of visual studio has problems compiling this project. It might require some googling but try to find a version of 2022 from 2 months ago to be safe.
@@Digital-Scriptorium How would find an older version of VS 2022? I tried Googling but it seems like only the paid versions are available in older versions.
lograste solucionar?
@@hellstorm92 yeah .. I'm having the same issue, failing to build the project, I tried installing an older version for Visual Studio, but it requires the 17 2022 version ... and if you try to build, even with the c++ windows 10 sdk, it fails.
Sorry for the super late response. The projects discord mentions an alternative fix but it does require editing some of the code in Visual Studio.
Hey, i have an interesting issue, when i try and log in the bnet server crashes, it always happens, even if the info is correct or not, followed the client tutorial. I really dont know what could be causing this but if anyone knows i would appreciate the help.
Hmmm. That is an interesting one for sure. It might be worth bringing up on this project's discord as it could be a bug. Lots of changes have been happening recently.
@@Digital-Scriptorium found the issue, i had openssl 3 installed as well as 1, managed to fix it after uninstalling it
@@radon_slp good to hear you got it working and thank you for the fix info!
First
Nice job!
@@Digital-Scriptorium lol
@@filtercleaners1936 I suppose someone's gotta claim it.
can u make video on how to add scripts to server?
It would be difficult with this project as the latest update mentions they are preparing to support this project for classic. So we shall see!
@@Digital-Scriptorium thanks, i tried so long to make it work and just gave up lolz
@@wCxrtoonz when it becomes easier to implement I'll plan to make a video on it.
When I cmake, the system pops up the following prompt box: ''Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid" ,May I ask if I am missing something?
Double check the environmental variable configuration and reboot. What version of cmake are you using also?
@@Digital-Scriptorium I checked my variable and rebooted and have the correct version of cmake. I am getting this specific error. "CMake Error at cmake/macros/FindMySQL.cmake:237 (message):
Could not find the MySQL libraries! Please install the development
libraries and headers
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:67 (find_package)"
Any help would be most appreciated!
Sorry for the late response. Did you have any luck?
Where can I download the default 4.3.4 full client?
Check out the preservation projects website I have in the description. It will give you info on that.
bnetserver.exe shuts down immediately after starting it up without any prompt to figure out how to fix?
other than the 2 dll's I had to replace everything else is good so far. really wanting to start playing.
*Fixed lmao forgot to set password. ty for the guide btw
No problem! Glad to hear you got it working! Enjoy!
I'm working on it now
Everything is fine until some problems popped out
1. Visual studio 2022 step ended up with 25 succeeded and 4 failure, due to script error (??)
2. Then I found that I lost 3 files named "worldseverxxx" in RelWithDebInfo file
Is this critical? Or how do I fix it?
BTW, Server Map Data downloading from mediafire is way~~~~~~too slow in Taiwan lol
Yeah, that's bad. I would reboot and try the cmake and visual studio steps again.
I'm also getting this problem, I've restarted the pc, redone cmake etc but still getting only 25 succeeded and 4 failed and I'm missing the battlenet and world server files. What can I do?@@Digital-Scriptorium
@@eraldin12 if you can try to use the exact versions of cmake as I did in the video and see if that helps.
@@eraldin12 if you can try to use the exact versions of cmake as I did in the video and see if that helps.
Thanks for the fast reply. I just tried downloading cmake 3.25.2 rather than the latest version but that didn't help, still the same issue. I'm wondering if maybe I need to download the earlier version of boost aswell?@@Digital-Scriptorium
Why don't you show how to connect?
Apparently that is the hardest part... I have been on the official discord of this project and can still not figure out how the client is supposed to be configured.
In the two videos I have the description for patching the client it shows what you need to do.
Found it, thanks @@Digital-Scriptorium
No problem! Enjoy! :)
Im stuck at Cmake stuff just giving me error :P
What's the error you're getting?
@@Digital-Scriptorium well i fixed it now i cant keep worldserver.exe Open
Sorry just saw this. Does it immediately close out when you launch it?
@@Digital-Scriptorium yes first i could launch it then i opened the other one and after that it closed immediately
If you try to run it in command prompt what errors does it give?
yo can i use lua scripts on this then? ^^
That's a good question. I would ask the discord projects channel on that one.
2nd
Nicely done!
Raspberries pi version when?
Sadly with this project in an archived state now I'm waiting for TrinityCore to get the new version stable.
It couldn't be any more complicated?^^
Just a few steps...
@@Digital-Scriptorium normally I just start MySQL, then the Auth and directly the World Server and that works for me with Classic Vanilla, TBC, Wotlk and even MoP... I haven't tested any further than that! Now I wanted to put Cata on it, but I can't find a working world server... your method might work in the end, but don't you know a site where I can find working SQL, auth and world files?!? :)
@@1Scavanger1 the Cataclysm Preservation Project is the only one I know of for Cataclysm that is open source and this intact. One thing to mention is it's about to have a major change up to support the classic Cataclysm client which will decrease a lot of the headaches currently.
@@Digital-Scriptorium There is also a current option through EmuCoach... that's where I got all my other repacks, which still work very well! I just can't get Cata to work, whereas others supposedly can...
Ah yes.
We tried out your guide on a separate PC and this time also used all the outdated tools that apparently worked for you... with the result that it definitely NO longer works today! So it doesn't matter whether you use the latest software, because that just doesn't work! The video can therefore be deleted as it is out of date and therefore unusable!
What issue did you run into?
Issue for him was probably that average joes can now make their own private servers without wasting 1000's of hours and now his private server wont get as much business.
Quite possible!
@@Digital-Scriptorium On that note I shot you an e-mail sir.
@@ryanbird5142 I'll check it out once I get home! :)
