******Update September/2024****** Updated .NET 6.0.x link to now be .NET 8.0.x as this is the version needed for the latest version of GitExtensions Updated MySQL link to version 8.4.x as this is now the standard for this project. CMake 3.30.3 works fine. Previous versions of 3.30.x had issues. Boost 1.86 (14.3-64.exe) works fine. OpenSSL v3.3.2 works fine. You now need to copy libssl-3-x64.dll from the C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin folder as well where your worldserver and auth server are. Should be the same place with the other dll's you had to copy.
After a week of tying to get a person server online, your tutorial was the one that did it, thank you. I tried a repack, trinity core, even the azeroth core webpage I had trouble with. Thanks for making this it help for the ones of us that are visual learners.
I wanted to say thank you for the video! I have tried nearly a dozen different methods for setting up servers, this is the only one that worked with literally no problems whatsoever, hats off mate. I've seen other people in the comments mention it, but a video on how to implement modules would be fantastic (but even if you don't get around to it, thanks for making this video, I truly appreciate it)
I just wanted to say thank you for doing this. I understand that it took time and effort on your part to do this. I have been trying to find a in depth video on setting up a server for my family and is by far one of if not the best video i have found.
Awesome guide, worked really well. Only thing that was different for me was that the "scribbling" at 16:56 didn't end at all after an hour and I had to restart VS. And at 20:02 when renaming the files the extension .conf disappeared for both files after removing .dist , but for some reason worked perfectly as 'authserver' and 'worldserver'. Cheers.
I have been noticing the scribbles sometimes just don't stop lately. I thought it was just me but glad to hear I'm not alone. Good to hear you got out all playing nice though. Enjoy!
Bless you sir! I have struggled trying to get my server up and running, but kept having trouble running the wowserver and auth programs. This worked for me on the first try, after following along your guide here. Many thanks! :)
I'm a tech savvy person who was following the instructions on the site, having no issues, but I decided to see if there was a video that could expedite the process. This video makes everything easier. The speed of explanation is perfect, because even though fast, each section is short enough that even replaying it 3 times does not take much time at all. Having everything double checked by someone else and knowing that they've done the hard work of troubleshooting takes off a lot of stress from uncertainty. No more, "Did I do this part right? I hope otherwise it'll be a pain in the neck later." Thanks for doing all the leg work, I appreciate the work you've put in to making this video concise and easy to digest.
Thanks for that tutorial. The best one all over youtube. I advise everyone who wants to create his own private server to follow every step. If you have a good internet and processor(cpu) it will take less than an hour to finish it.
had issues with boost 1.86. compiling errors. rolled back to 1.81 as another in here had suggested and worked great. just tested ICC and am impressed with the scripting of azerothcore compared to the spp cmangos version i have been playing. much thanks. thought i saw someone else saying the newest SSL wouldn't work but for me, as of yesterdays build, i used the newest ssl and everything worked fine.
I hope you are a Product Manager, or Engineer, or in some documentation-centric role somewhere… at a large Tech company hopefully… This is flawless and really great. Thanks for sharing!
I did it and worked. In the Azeroth Core Discord they say that there are not going to give support to MariaDB, only to some versions of MySQL, so could you do a tutorial making the installation of Azeroth core in windows with just MySQL?
Thank you for the tutorial, my VERY basic computer skills were able to follow along perfectly well. However, this may be a long shot and likely impossible to blanket explain, but in the video @17:42 timestamp you express the importance of nothing failing (during the build process in visual studio). What, if anything, can be done if in my case 2 things have failed?
@@Digital-Scriptorium again thank you for the reply and earlier version of boost fixed my problem without issue my like and subscribe are yours! Now I'm off to try to figure out how to get the client, I don't suppose there is any direction one might be able to point me in ??
This was an amazing video, issues were me just not being familiar with the processes. Slowed down and had a successful outcome. Thank you a great deal from the noob in the front row
Digital one thing to note as this gentleman said. If I did not use the same boost version that you used in the video boost_1_81_0-msvc-14.3-64 the c-make would not work when I used the latest version and other version of boot above the one you used.
Had the same issue. Wouldn't load some .lib files on Boost 1_85, so installed the 1_81 version he had gotten, deleted all the files, changed the ROOT variable, reset Cmake's cache, and then restarted the process from there with Cmake and then Visual Studio and it worked perfectly!
@Digital-Scriptorium, do you by chance have a video on how to add specific modules/add-ons to the server we just created? The only thing i'm interested in is the NPCBot from Trickerer to help a server with only three people on it. I've read the git and manual, i'm affraid i don't understand what i'm reading. TY again.
@@Digital-Scriptorium i am waiting for that video to. i found a server already made with npcbot and ahbot but is kind of old when was build and i see new features was implemented . I don't know how to update it. it is really nice for a single player
thank you for doing this guide, have you done any guides on adding playerbots or npc bots, i tried to add player bot module after setting up this server, but i couldnt get it to work :(
No problem! Well it's funny you ask because I'm going to be making a new video on this soon. Did you git clone the special fork that's needed for player bots?
I'm getting the following error in Visual Studio when compiling. Any help would be appreciateed: LNK1104 cannot open file 'libboost_program_options-vc143-mt-x64-1_86.lib'
What version of cmake are you using? I had luck with the latest version of 3.30.x but maybe try version 3.29. if that still doesn't work try boost 1.84 or 1.85.
At 22:35 when we double click on the "Authserver.exe" I am getting an error message "authserver.exe - system error" the code execution cannot proceed because libssl-1_1 x64.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. I'm affraid i'm not sure what to reinstall
At 24:40 when I refresh HeidiSQL it does not populate with the additional DB info. Any idea why? Both the auth and world servers operate error free and shutdown with ease. Just stumped on the missing DBs
Alright... I've made progress. I've gotten to the point of compiling in Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (and I figured out where I was screwing up with Boost, it was a genuinely embarassing mistake). I'm turning up errors in the compile... three instances of "LNK1181 cannot open input file 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 9.0\lib.obj' " for the authserver, dbimport, and worldserver respectively. My suspicion is that I did something wrong in CMake.
@@Digital-Scriptorium And naturally, that means on to the next problem... when running the worldserver application, I start seeing problems loading module strings... it first says 'loaded 0 module strings. DB table 'module_string' is empty.', then it attempts to load Module Strings Locale, where it gives a similar message about the Module Strings Locale DB table being empty. After that, it tries to initialize data stores, and returns (in red text) "[1146] Table 'acore_world.charsections_dbc' doesn't exist. Your database structure is not up to date. Please make sure you've executed all queries in the sql/updates folders'. I figure as long as I keep moving on to the next problem, I'm ever so gradually approaching the goal.
No problem! Currently I haven't dabbled with the extra module options yet. I would refer to the AzerothCore wiki or their Discord channel for more info on that kind of stuff.
Really the best tutorial on RUclips! Thanks! But do I understand correctly that MySQL is running in the background the whole time? Is there any way I can turn it off so that I can start my MySQL for my Vmangos for my 1.12.1? 😂
Sadly it's a version issue. Vmangos really does best with 5.5 or 5.6. You could try with mariadb but you'd just want to make sure the database are not named the same.
Hey,i have many issues on VisualStudio. I tried older version from CMake and Boost but issues and warnings come again. #error: Macro definition of snprintf conflicts with Standard Library function declaration libmysql this is one of the issues. can you help me ?
Great guide, but in the end I have problem, the authserver launches and works, but worldserver works only fork like 2 seconds, then close itself :/ any idea ? No errors on screen whatsoever...
@@Digital-Scriptorium For anyone wondering: at 21:15 I wrote wrong adress, so the worldserver could not find maps, vmaps etc. Hope this helps someone. And again, great tutorial, thank you for that.
Thanks for this video. I'm up and running. Had a few bumps along the way but you give good instruction. Can you tell me if there is a way to backup the server data incase it gets corrupted? Thanks!
I had completely forgotten about the requirements when downloading in your video, haha. In cmake I had downloaded the newest Boost, and it gave me an error, then I re-read everything and saw the requirements, although it worked for me with version 1.81.0. Really impressed with your tutorial. Do you also help with modules and luas configurations? I need help with that too, thanks for the tutorial anyway!
Very clean install instructions. I got it running but the Mod-playerbot isnt working, can you make a quick simple vid on installing mods, but specifically that one? thx!
@@Digital-Scriptorium Also i was tryin to figure out modules, and just decided to do fresh install... now iom using HeidiSQL instead of MySQL. when I get "Create SQL user" on your video - I get the error SQL error (1227) Access denied; you need (at least one of) the CREATE USER privileges for this operation. im not sure how I can create a user within HeidiSQL before I execute that code, since the code isnt working -this error happens- (USING WINDOWS - not linux)
This is very helpful thank you! The AC guide can be sometimes difficult to follow for us not familiar with it all. Can you do another video on modules? Some modules like the bots one says "custom changes to AzerothCore, so it is necessary to compile with a custom branch from my fork", but what does that even mean? What do I do with the github link? Any help on it is appreciated.
No problem! I haven't tried it myself with this project but at the step when it shows the branches during the git extensions pull might be the method to snag what you need.
i have the same very issue as you theres no tutorial or other help it basacly throws it on you and expect you to be able to solve it had to redo the entire server 3 times becuse i tried 3 diffrent things
Hi noob here, I'm wondering is this specifically for people who already have experience playing on custom servers and want to start and customize their own? I found that there are "repacks" like SPP or others that use Azerothcore (that I just discovered in other videos) that are "ready to go" in a sense if you have a client. Are those essentially premade packages of the process you do here? I just discovered all this stuff and haven't played wow in ages, but thought it would be cool to run my own server and mess around. There are some cool features in those packages, like AI bots and other "modules". Given all the steps here, I figured this was instead for more advanced users? Thanks if anyone has an explanation :)
Repacks are a good starting point but they usually are outdated and cannot take updates like compiling your own server. I started out on repacks initially but after seeing the compiling process I won't go back. :)
@@Digital-Scriptorium Wow, thanks for the lightning fast reply (in the middle of watching :D) This is easily the best guide I've found so far, so making my own seems a lot less intimidating. Properly explained and thorough step by step guides can be hard to find. I'm leaning towards both probably, getting one up and running just to jump into the game real quick and see what it's all about, while I learn to make my own at the same time seeing as how I'm already going through the steps here nice and slow hah! Probably better in the end too since I'll be able to just implement the modules I want. Anyways, thanks again, merry Christmas and happy new year! Edit: I just found your newer video on this, so I'll be browsing your stuff, cheers!
Someone else mentioned that not working in the last day as well. I believe the newest version requires .net v8 desktop runtime to be installed. Double check if that is installed and if it helps.
I am failing at Visual Studio. I dont have the build menu on the right. So dont know where to build the project. So i build it from the menu buttons above "Build" and chose Build ALL_BUILD. It build but missing the config folder and some other files.
Hello my friend!! great tutorial, i am at the last step, connecting with client, recognizes server authenticates succesfully, shows me the server but cannot enter it. i am runing it in a dedicated pc, and client pc is on same network. forwarded ports on router. maybe putting local ip wrong in heidi? runing out of ideas. ty for your time!
@@Digital-Scriptorium i figured it out. First, you have to go to the npc you want to look like, then you type the command '.npc info', then you scroll up to where it says the native id or something like that, then you target yourself and type the command '.morph target (number from the npc)' then youll look like it
You need to edit your realmlist wtf file in the client to point to your servers IP. I believe I have an example of the format you have to do to in the details. I do show it in my raspberry pi version of this video if that's helpful.
MySQL library and DIR are not found during the Cmake process. I assume these are the files in the lib file in MySQL. Is there something specific I have to do to do that manually? I was halfway through this process before I found this video. Not sure what I didn't differently at this point. How do I properly install these into the AzerothCore folder?
I am at the point where I'm compiling in Visual Studio, and I'm getting this error twice: "LNK1104 cannot open file 'libboost_program_options-vc143-mt-x64-1_86.lib' " and cannot continue from here. I have absolutely no knowledge with these types of software used for this, so I have no idea what this is or what to do. Edit: read the comments and I'll try using an older version of boost. Re-editting to confirm this worked, but I had to delete the relwithdebinfo folder in build/bin for it to work. Leaving this comment in case others run into the issue.
@@Digital-Scriptorium If you were made aware of this discovery 2 weeks ago, why have you not put an edit on the video or atleast edited the description telling people not to get the newest version?
Hey, I followed this guide and got everything working. The issue is I constantly disconnect from the server. I can't stay one for more than 2-3 minutes before getting disconnected. Any idea why that's happening?
@@Lolerstomp does anything get printed out on the auth or world server CMD Windows? Any errors? Another thing is do you have any Logitech apps or anytime of that sort which might be kicking on trying to eat up ports that are in use.

@@Digital-Scriptorium hi i got it worked! thank you. do you have also videos how to add modules? it was the boost cuz i downloaded the updated one but i change it the version in the videos.
@@gridman2444 glad to hear all is well now! Some new components add wonky things. I don't have a video on the modules yet but most like in the next few months.
I am getting ready to try this install tomorrow. I have followed the instructions and downloaded all the prereq stuff from below. The PC i will be using already has Heidi and mySQL installed on it.. do you forsee an issue with the new WoW database or is there something i should do first before opening the two? I am very mush a noob to SQL. thank you for the great guide
No problem! As long as the database names are not the same and the other server isn't active I think you should be ok. You might still run into issues with ports in use. My general rule of thumb is to have one computer just being a server for one project just to decrease issues. Always worth a shot though!
I get an error when trying to compile the source in vs. The error is Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Details Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'libboost_program_options-vc143-mt-x64-1_81.lib' authserver C:\Build\src\server\apps\LINK 1. I get that for the world server and the auth server, any ideas on a fix?
@@Digital-Scriptorium That worked thanks I really appreciate your help and your content is very helpful as well. One more question can I use TrinityCore scripts for AzerothCore or are they different? Can you make a video showing how to add the custom scripts to AzerothCore if you havent already made one?
@@APlusModding no problem! It could be hit or miss. AC came from TrinityCore but it's not apples to apples anymore. Once I get my next AC video out I'll be doing a guide on the modules.
If you get an error that CMake *Could NOT find Boost (missing: system filesystem program_options iostreams regex) (found suitable version "1.74.0", minimum required is "1.70") Locate your Boost folder Run the Bootstrap.bat file Run the b2.exe file This resolved it BUT I had to pay attention as it was written for an older version. 2 BAT files are made, clicking both is fine, but the one that creats the B2.EXE is the windows shell bat. Hope this helps someone else :) and I HOPE this is my last post hehe
@@Digital-Scriptorium Yah, chasing down an OpenSSL issue now where it's not detecting the DLL in the folder, so I am going to start purding and reinstalling crap :) Your video is great and a terrific resources, but the age, and version changes with the software may cause headaches hehe. Still, glad for your channel and the resources it provides. Far better than the Azerothcore site by MILES
Yah I backed out, reinstalled, still getting the "Cant find libssl-3-x64.dll" on launching auth server in your tutorial, even though I can see it in the OpenSSL folder :) So I've posted on the Azerothcore discord, in hopes to bother you less, as I assume this is a version issue or....something I've done..twice... :) If it were easy there would be millions of people playing solo servers,right? :) And someone would have compiled an all-in-1 server distribution pack by now for $$ heh
I followed your guide and got everything working. So you where a big help but I do have a problem. I installed the game server on a separate machine. For some reason it will not let me connect using the local ip address and have to use my wan address. Ok so I login and can see the realm list but when I click join, it says logging into realm then just goes back to realm selection. So I never go into the character select screen. Your help would be appreciated. Thank You
@@Digital-Scriptorium I am using a UDM-Pro so there should be no issues there. Also installed a repack and got that to work. Maybe where I installed that repack before is causing issues with this clean install. Might have to create a new VM and try this on a clean install.
Hello, your tutorial has worked perfectly for me, I would like to ask you something, how do I connect the bnet console? I have ports 8085 and 3724 working, but it does not work, I have a repack of emucoach and I was able to connect but in the compiled version it does not work. , I don't know if I should create a new port that I don't know, thank you.
@@Digital-Scriptorium Sorry, I explained myself wrong, the consoles open correctly, no errors appear, I have everything, MySQL, I did the tutorial and everything went well, I can't connect the realmlist with the WOW client, I feel that the realmlist port option is missing in the bnetserver.config I have open ports 8085 and 3724
How's your realmlist SQL table look? The two big spots are the realmlist table and the .wtf config file. Sometimes you run into the server needing a reboot also to reopen the ports.
Got it all working thanks to your video. I couldn't help myself and totally trashed the database messing around with things. Is there a way to the delete or restore azerothcore SQL database. I tried deleting my build folder and recompiling the code but when I relaunched my new server it still had the old SQL database
What I would do is fire up HeidiSQL or whichever SQL management client you're using and log into SQL. Right click on the databases that were created and select "Drop". That will outright delete the databases. Then fire up the two services and let it create the database/s again. If you know which database you think is bad then just delete that one and let it rebuild it. Then you should be in good shape. Think of the server as broken up into two pieces. You have the compiled files side with the executables and config files and then you have the SQL database side. So in this case your executables side is most likely fine unless you were doing some serious edits to those configs. Does that make sense in my ramblings?
Digital Scriptorium, thank you for this guide! Iam on the very last step, where you say, just start WoW^^ Where i have to start WoW ? Is it importand, that it is installed on C: ? where can i set my realmlist to my server? Sorry for the very dumb noob questions, but iam sitting here, dont know how to do the final step... :D
@@Digital-Scriptorium Per your recommendations, I'm running CMAKE 3.30.4 in a 64 bit environment (which does match my OS), and Boost 1.86.0. From what I've been able to find, Cmake's makers set a policy to disable the findboost module in the 3.30 release, in favor of a Boost config file specifically for Cmake that's been part of Boost since version 1.70... but for some reason I'm getting an error when I try to compile as if the config file (which I've confirmed is present in my Boost file) isn't catching. Do bear with me, please. I'm a theatre arts major and this stuff is NOT my forte. I'm generally lucky if I can get a spreadsheet to behave itself when I get a formula locked in on it.

Hey man thanks for the video. I keep getting SQL Error (1045): Access denied for user when I try to execute the query on heidisql. Know whats going on there?
If you can open command prompt and run the world server in that it should show the error. I would double check the server map configuration as that usually is what causes it to crash.

Certainly not a dumb question. With the server running you would need the 3.3.5 game client to then connect up to it. Unfortunately, I cannot share links for it but a Google search should point you in a good direction... Something like wow dl....

Hello, thank you for great video. Went through the steps and got continuously results like in your video without fails and so on. My final status is that i can run Authserver with no issues but worldserver is crashing and inside the log there are tens of similar issues - In mysql_stmt_prepare() id: 53, sql: "REPLACE INTO mail_server_character (guid, mailId) values (?, ?)" Table 'acore_characters.mail_server_character' doesn't exist It seems for me like some problem in config where i did same update like you in video.

@@СергейЧернышов-я8ч I ran through my video again and did not run into that issue. libssl-1_1-x64.dll would be OpenSSL 1.1.x and this project uses OpenSSL 3.x.x. Are you sure you installed 3.x and not 1.x?
Tried this again on my desktop, repeated error when Cmake configure. OpenSSL 3.0.12 works, 3.0.13 errors. Official link only provides for 3.0.13 version, and I temporarily didn't figure which version I have installed on my notebook - I have downloaded installed 3.0.12 somewhere. I could finally build that version. That was frustrating, tried everything to get it work again, wasting more than 2 hours due to version issue.
@@Digital-Scriptorium Tnx for your quick attention. What I see it as a problem is that anyone who is following this instruction will face same issue as the link above does not provide a working version of OpenSSL(nearly impossible to notice there can be a version issue). AzerothCore should be updated to work with 3.0.13 asap cuz that is the officially provided one.

![How to Create Your Own Windows Based 4.3.4 WoW Cataclysm Server [2024]](/img/1.gif)
******Update September/2024******
Updated .NET 6.0.x link to now be .NET 8.0.x as this is the version needed for the latest version of GitExtensions
Updated MySQL link to version 8.4.x as this is now the standard for this project.
CMake 3.30.3 works fine. Previous versions of 3.30.x had issues.
Boost 1.86 (14.3-64.exe) works fine.
OpenSSL v3.3.2 works fine.
You now need to copy libssl-3-x64.dll from the C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin folder as well where your worldserver and auth server are. Should be the same place with the other dll's you had to copy.
Thanks for this. I'm probably going to share this with my community as they ask about setup all the time.
No problem and absolutely! My goal was to help everyone who would have questions on how to do it.
After a week of tying to get a person server online, your tutorial was the one that did it, thank you. I tried a repack, trinity core, even the azeroth core webpage I had trouble with. Thanks for making this it help for the ones of us that are visual learners.
No problem and I'm glad to hear it helped! Enjoy!
Thank you so much for making an easy to follow video with updates in the comments too!
No problem and thank you! :)
I wanted to say thank you for the video! I have tried nearly a dozen different methods for setting up servers, this is the only one that worked with literally no problems whatsoever, hats off mate. I've seen other people in the comments mention it, but a video on how to implement modules would be fantastic (but even if you don't get around to it, thanks for making this video, I truly appreciate it)
No problem! I should circle back and do a modules video soon. Anyhow, enjoy! :)
I just wanted to say thank you for doing this. I understand that it took time and effort on your part to do this. I have been trying to find a in depth video on setting up a server for my family and is by far one of if not the best video i have found.
No problem! I'm glad it's helping people out. Enjoy! :)
Awesome guide, worked really well. Only thing that was different for me was that the "scribbling" at 16:56 didn't end at all after an hour and I had to restart VS. And at 20:02 when renaming the files the extension .conf disappeared for both files after removing .dist , but for some reason worked perfectly as 'authserver' and 'worldserver'. Cheers.
I have been noticing the scribbles sometimes just don't stop lately. I thought it was just me but glad to hear I'm not alone. Good to hear you got out all playing nice though. Enjoy!
Amazing Video...best one on the topic. The rest had me wanting to Rage against the machine and smash things...yours WORKED first go. Cheers m8!
Haha thank you and enjoy! :)
Bless you sir! I have struggled trying to get my server up and running, but kept having trouble running the wowserver and auth programs. This worked for me on the first try, after following along your guide here. Many thanks! :)
No problem! Enjoy! 😊
I'm a tech savvy person who was following the instructions on the site, having no issues, but I decided to see if there was a video that could expedite the process.
This video makes everything easier. The speed of explanation is perfect, because even though fast, each section is short enough that even replaying it 3 times does not take much time at all. Having everything double checked by someone else and knowing that they've done the hard work of troubleshooting takes off a lot of stress from uncertainty. No more, "Did I do this part right? I hope otherwise it'll be a pain in the neck later."
Thanks for doing all the leg work, I appreciate the work you've put in to making this video concise and easy to digest.
No problem and I'm glad it was helpful! Enjoy! 😊
Thanks for that tutorial. The best one all over youtube. I advise everyone who wants to create his own private server to follow every step.
If you have a good internet and processor(cpu) it will take less than an hour to finish it.
No problem! Enjoy! :)
had issues with boost 1.86. compiling errors. rolled back to 1.81 as another in here had suggested and worked great. just tested ICC and am impressed with the scripting of azerothcore compared to the spp cmangos version i have been playing. much thanks. thought i saw someone else saying the newest SSL wouldn't work but for me, as of yesterdays build, i used the newest ssl and everything worked fine.

I hope you are a Product Manager, or Engineer, or in some documentation-centric role somewhere… at a large Tech company hopefully…
This is flawless and really great. Thanks for sharing!
Haha I'm just a peasant engineer. Nothing fancy but I'm glad to hear it worked well for you!
I did it and worked. In the Azeroth Core Discord they say that there are not going to give support to MariaDB, only to some versions of MySQL, so could you do a tutorial making the installation of Azeroth core in windows with just MySQL?
I'll have to look into that. I didn't realize they dropped mariadb entirely. Thank you for the info!
Easily one of the best guides I've found. Thank you for all the effort.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the tutorial, my VERY basic computer skills were able to follow along perfectly well. However, this may be a long shot and likely impossible to blanket explain, but in the video @17:42 timestamp you express the importance of nothing failing (during the build process in visual studio). What, if anything, can be done if in my case 2 things have failed?
It could be the version of boost. Try going back one or two versions of boost.

Digital one thing to note as this gentleman said. If I did not use the same boost version that you used in the video boost_1_81_0-msvc-14.3-64 the c-make would not work when I used the latest version and other version of boot above the one you used.
@@the-beneficiary1809 good to know and thank you for the info!
Had the same issue. Wouldn't load some .lib files on Boost 1_85, so installed the 1_81 version he had gotten, deleted all the files, changed the ROOT variable, reset Cmake's cache, and then restarted the process from there with Cmake and then Visual Studio and it worked perfectly!
Yeah, it's unfortunate version 85 has some issues.
By far the Best YT Guide I found, thanks a lot man!!!
No problem! Enjoy! :)
@Digital-Scriptorium, do you by chance have a video on how to add specific modules/add-ons to the server we just created? The only thing i'm interested in is the NPCBot from Trickerer to help a server with only three people on it. I've read the git and manual, i'm affraid i don't understand what i'm reading. TY again.
It's on my list of videos to make. Just no ETA yet.
@@Digital-Scriptorium i am waiting for that video to. i found a server already made with npcbot and ahbot but is kind of old when was build and i see new features was implemented . I don't know how to update it. it is really nice for a single player
@@DanTufis absolutely!
thank you for doing this guide, have you done any guides on adding playerbots or npc bots, i tried to add player bot module after setting up this server, but i couldnt get it to work :(
No problem! Well it's funny you ask because I'm going to be making a new video on this soon. Did you git clone the special fork that's needed for player bots?
I'm getting the following error in Visual Studio when compiling. Any help would be appreciateed: LNK1104 cannot open file 'libboost_program_options-vc143-mt-x64-1_86.lib'
What version of cmake are you using? I had luck with the latest version of 3.30.x but maybe try version 3.29. if that still doesn't work try boost 1.84 or 1.85.
At 22:35 when we double click on the "Authserver.exe" I am getting an error message "authserver.exe - system error" the code execution cannot proceed because libssl-1_1 x64.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
I'm affraid i'm not sure what to reinstall
Do you have that file in the same area as the auth server.exe?
At 24:40 when I refresh HeidiSQL it does not populate with the additional DB info. Any idea why? Both the auth and world servers operate error free and shutdown with ease. Just stumped on the missing DBs
Very weird. Did you try a reboot? I have been noticing weird things with the newest versions of Heidisql as well.
Alright... I've made progress. I've gotten to the point of compiling in Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (and I figured out where I was screwing up with Boost, it was a genuinely embarassing mistake).
I'm turning up errors in the compile... three instances of "LNK1181 cannot open input file 'C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 9.0\lib.obj' " for the authserver, dbimport, and worldserver respectively.
My suspicion is that I did something wrong in CMake.
It's all good! Try MySQL 8.4 LTS. Version 9 is still super new and might have issues. Just uninstall it, reboot, then install 8.4
@@Digital-Scriptorium That did the trick!
@@caffeinedelusions nice! :)
@@Digital-Scriptorium And naturally, that means on to the next problem... when running the worldserver application, I start seeing problems loading module strings... it first says 'loaded 0 module strings.

After that, it tries to initialize data stores, and returns (in red text) "[1146] Table 'acore_world.charsections_dbc' doesn't exist. Your database structure is not up to date. Please make sure you've executed all queries in the sql/updates folders'.

im not sure how I can create a user within HeidiSQL before I execute that code, since the code isnt working -this error happens- (USING WINDOWS - not linux)
Sorry just saw this. Up on the top of Heidisql should be a user management section and you can create a new user. Then assign them permissions.
This is very helpful thank you! The AC guide can be sometimes difficult to follow for us not familiar with it all.
Can you do another video on modules? Some modules like the bots one says "custom changes to AzerothCore, so it is necessary to compile with a custom branch from my fork", but what does that even mean? What do I do with the github link? Any help on it is appreciated.
No problem! I haven't tried it myself with this project but at the step when it shows the branches during the git extensions pull might be the method to snag what you need.

i have the same very issue as you theres no tutorial or other help it basacly throws it on you and expect you to be able to solve it had to redo the entire server 3 times becuse i tried 3 diffrent things
When trying to add modules in?
Hi noob here, I'm wondering is this specifically for people who already have experience playing on custom servers and want to start and customize their own? I found that there are "repacks" like SPP or others that use Azerothcore (that I just discovered in other videos) that are "ready to go" in a sense if you have a client. Are those essentially premade packages of the process you do here? I just discovered all this stuff and haven't played wow in ages, but thought it would be cool to run my own server and mess around. There are some cool features in those packages, like AI bots and other "modules". Given all the steps here, I figured this was instead for more advanced users? Thanks if anyone has an explanation :)
Repacks are a good starting point but they usually are outdated and cannot take updates like compiling your own server. I started out on repacks initially but after seeing the compiling process I won't go back. :)
@@Digital-Scriptorium Wow, thanks for the lightning fast reply (in the middle of watching :D) This is easily the best guide I've found so far, so making my own seems a lot less intimidating. Properly explained and thorough step by step guides can be hard to find. I'm leaning towards both probably, getting one up and running just to jump into the game real quick and see what it's all about, while I learn to make my own at the same time seeing as how I'm already going through the steps here nice and slow hah! Probably better in the end too since I'll be able to just implement the modules I want. Anyways, thanks again, merry Christmas and happy new year! Edit: I just found your newer video on this, so I'll be browsing your stuff, cheers!

It would require client side modifications if it's possible.

Hmmm, the latest version of git extensions might require .net v8.x desktop runtime. Do you have that installed?
my only question is after you get the server up and running how do you play on it?

Can you make a video showing how to add the custom scripts to AzerothCore if you havent already made one?
@@APlusModding no problem! It could be hit or miss. AC came from TrinityCore but it's not apples to apples anymore. Once I get my next AC video out I'll be doing a guide on the modules.
If you get an error that CMake *Could NOT find Boost (missing: system filesystem program_options iostreams regex) (found suitable version "1.74.0", minimum required is "1.70")
Locate your Boost folder
Run the Bootstrap.bat file
Run the b2.exe file
This resolved it BUT I had to pay attention as it was written for an older version. 2 BAT files are made, clicking both is fine, but the one that creats the B2.EXE is the windows shell bat.

@@Digital-Scriptorium Yah, chasing down an OpenSSL issue now where it's not detecting the DLL in the folder, so I am going to start purding and reinstalling crap :) Your video is great and a terrific resources, but the age, and version changes with the software may cause headaches hehe. Still, glad for your channel and the resources it provides. Far better than the Azerothcore site by MILES
@@LigitandMeyers I'm for sure going to queue up a new video with all the changes in the next week at this point :)
Yah I backed out, reinstalled, still getting the "Cant find libssl-3-x64.dll" on launching auth server in your tutorial, even though I can see it in the OpenSSL folder :) So I've posted on the Azerothcore discord, in hopes to bother you less, as I assume this is a version issue or....something I've done..twice... :) If it were easy there would be millions of people playing solo servers,right? :) And someone would have compiled an all-in-1 server distribution pack by now for $$ heh
@@LigitandMeyers let me know what you hear back!
I followed your guide and got everything working. So you where a big help but I do have a problem. I installed the game server on a separate machine. For some reason it will not let me connect using the local ip address and have to use my wan address. Ok so I login and can see the realm list but when I click join, it says logging into realm then just goes back to realm selection. So I never go into the character select screen. Your help would be appreciated. Thank You
Hmmm and the realmlist has your servers IP? I would double check that.
@@Digital-Scriptorium In realmlist "address is my wan ip" , "localAddress is my servers ip"
Hmmm, it might be that your router doesn't support loopbacking.
@@Digital-Scriptorium I am using a UDM-Pro so there should be no issues there. Also installed a repack and got that to work. Maybe where I installed that repack before is causing issues with this clean install. Might have to create a new VM and try this on a clean install.
@@Aliminater1 o that could be causing conflicts.
Hello, your tutorial has worked perfectly for me, I would like to ask you something, how do I connect the bnet console? I have ports 8085 and 3724 working, but it does not work, I have a repack of emucoach and I was able to connect but in the compiled version it does not work. , I don't know if I should create a new port that I don't know, thank you.
When you say to connect your bnet console. Are you saying the bnet console is not staying open when you launch it?
@@Digital-Scriptorium Sorry, I explained myself wrong, the consoles open correctly, no errors appear, I have everything, MySQL, I did the tutorial and everything went well, I can't connect the realmlist with the WOW client, I feel that the realmlist port option is missing in the bnetserver.config
I have open ports 8085 and 3724
How's your realmlist SQL table look? The two big spots are the realmlist table and the .wtf config file. Sometimes you run into the server needing a reboot also to reopen the ports.
Got it all working thanks to your video. I couldn't help myself and totally trashed the database messing around with things. Is there a way to the delete or restore azerothcore SQL database. I tried deleting my build folder and recompiling the code but when I relaunched my new server it still had the old SQL database
What I would do is fire up HeidiSQL or whichever SQL management client you're using and log into SQL. Right click on the databases that were created and select "Drop". That will outright delete the databases. Then fire up the two services and let it create the database/s again. If you know which database you think is bad then just delete that one and let it rebuild it. Then you should be in good shape. Think of the server as broken up into two pieces. You have the compiled files side with the executables and config files and then you have the SQL database side. So in this case your executables side is most likely fine unless you were doing some serious edits to those configs. Does that make sense in my ramblings?
@@Digital-Scriptoriumthanks for the reply that worked great

Digital Scriptorium, thank you for this guide! Iam on the very last step, where you say, just start WoW^^ Where i have to start WoW ?

Did you download the 3.3.5 client?
Okay... so what are my options if CMAKE doesn't find Boost?
What version of cmake and boost are you using?
@@Digital-Scriptorium Per your recommendations, I'm running CMAKE 3.30.4 in a 64 bit environment (which does match my OS), and Boost 1.86.0.
From what I've been able to find, Cmake's makers set a policy to disable the findboost module in the 3.30 release, in favor of a Boost config file specifically for Cmake that's been part of Boost since version 1.70... but for some reason I'm getting an error when I try to compile as if the config file (which I've confirmed is present in my Boost file) isn't catching.
Do bear with me, please. I'm a theatre arts major and this stuff is NOT my forte. I'm generally lucky if I can get a spreadsheet to behave itself when I get a formula locked in on it. I opted to take on this project both for the love of the game and a personal growth challenge.

excellent tutorial. I was able to create a character and play on my pc and also make a login for my wife. Her credentials work and the server comes up, but she cannot actually connect to it to.
How's your realmlist SQL table look? Do you have your "servers" IP listed or 127.0.0.1?

Morning. In the created sql build once we’re up and running there is a section labeled “addons”. And in a toon I created the add on button poped up it shows “gatherer” as an option but shows out of date. I know the client I downloaded has a folder full of blizzard addons.

So you're talking about game client add ons? If it says it's out of date then it's the client believing that.

Hello, I think your tutorial will be very helpful. I'm setting up my server on Digital Ocean. However, I would like my server to be in French. The process on AzerothCore is not very clear. Could you help me with the steps or guide my research? Thanks for your assistance.
It should be a locale toggle but I'm not sure exactly where. It might be best to check the AzerothCore discord channels for that.
Hey man thanks for the video. I keep getting SQL Error (1045): Access denied for user when I try to execute the query on heidisql. Know whats going on there?
Found out the error and made it all the way to the end but my worldserver crashes instantly.
If you can open command prompt and run the world server in that it should show the error. I would double check the server map configuration as that usually is what causes it to crash.
if you want to just run this on your local machine, should you just allow private networks, and uncheck public?
Quite frankly I haven't tried it. It's worth a shot to see if the client will connect ok. Worse case you just fine tune it on your windows firewall.
I followed this verbatium, and with the obvious exceptions of newer packages, run into issues trying to use cmake to build from what I pulled down from Git. Is there any updates to this guide that may walk me through how to correct this?
Rolling back to openssl 3.0.12 got me past the error. (as well as boost 1.81.0, and cmake 3.25.2) - sucks the newer versions fail. But hey, now I know.
It's rare but newer versions can cause issues sometimes until the project owners update their code to be happy with it.
I just had the error when trying to run cmake, i've downloaded the exact versions as above. I assume i have to uninstall and reboot before a reinstall?

When in doubt reboot :)
I have been searching for info on VS studio. My VS has been running for over 60 minutes with the background tasks "Indexing files in AzerothCore" "enables faster find operations". is there a way to stop this or should I shut down and restart the whole process? any help would be appreciated.
You can just start the build process. I swear the latest versions of VS just keep indexing forever.
Probably a really dumb question, but after all this what do you do to actually launch and play WoW?
Certainly not a dumb question. With the server running you would need the 3.3.5 game client to then connect up to it. Unfortunately, I cannot share links for it but a Google search should point you in a good direction... Something like wow dl....
