Thread: How to make Multi-Realm Repack (Easy) [ArcEMU]

Hey Everyone here it is the one and only (simple tut for making more realms on your repack the simple way and maybe a bit longer then the others because it is step by step!) Tut on making more realms on your repack!!!!

Video is being worked on!!! will be up soon!!! like today!!

* Making the Logon... (so ppls can log on in all reams) some repacks have it if not continue)

Step 1 : Open up your MySQL
Step 2 : Create a new Database (call it Logon)
Step 3 : Go to Characters (or were the "Accounts" and "IP bans" are located) and select and drag them to "Logon" and select "Copy Here (Structure and Data), do the same for "IP bans"
Step 4 : Delete the "Accounts" and the "IP bans" from "Characters Database"
Step 5 : You are Done!

* Making Separate Databases For "Characters" and "World"

Step 1 : Make a new Database (Call it "Realm1") {this is your first world}
Step 2 : Go to "World", Hightlight all the Tables there and drag them to "Realm1" (Copy and Paste)
Step 3 : Make a new Database (Call it "Characters_Realm1") {this will separate characters from realm 1 and Realm 2}
Step 4 : Go to "Characters" , Hightlight all the Tables there and drag them to "Characters_Realm1" (Copy and Paste)
Step 5 : Repeat Steps but change the names of the databases to "Realm2" (this is World number 2) and "Characters_Realm2" (this is Characters Database for "Realm2")
Step 6 : You are done!
(Now if you want to make more realms just keep changing the names, also you can name the Databases to how ever you feel more comfortable.)

*Making Multi-Realm Repack (PAY CLOSE ATTENTION)
(this is my easy way to keep track of realms, much easy)

Step 1 : Go to your Repack Folder
Step 2 : Make a new Folder (Call it Realm1)
Step 3 : Highlight all that is on your repack Folder, and paste it on your Realm1 Folder.
Step 4 : Go to your repack folder "Realm1" Erase the "arcemu-logon.exe" then head over to "Configs in "Realm1" and erase "Logonserver.conf"
Step 5 : Go back to your Repack Folder and erase the Following

*DBC

*Scripts

*Scripts Bin

*Arcemu-World"

Step 6 : Go to Configs and delete all, but "arcemu-logonserver"
Step 7 : Copy Realm1 Folder and Paste it on your Repack Folder (it should appear as "Realm1-Copy" well rename it to "Realm2"
Step 8 : If you are lost and dont understand PM me and i'll be glad to help
Step 9 : Get ready for Some Work!!! here you are done!

[ When you open up your repack folder you should see ]

Configs (folder)

Realm1 (folder)

Realm2 (folder)

arcemu-logonserver (app)

logonserver (.PID) <-- Dont know whats it for but leave it if you have it if not dont worry about it!!

and some Files (.dll) <--- Do not touch them!!! just in case!!!

*Modifying the Files to Run 2 Realms or more!

Remember these Numbers
8129 (Realm 1)
8130 (Realm-2)
8131 (Realm-3)
8132 (Realm-4)
So on and So forth...

[ When you open up your realm1 folder or realm2 you should see ]

Configs (folder)

DBC (folder)

Script_Bin (folder)

Scripts (folder)

arcemu (.PID) <--- ( Again leave it if you have it if not well dont worry about this!

arcemu-world (.app)

and some Files (.dll) common .dll files are "Collision.dll" , "libeay32.dll" and libeaySQL.dll" if there are more leave em just incase every repack is made different!!!

-Continuing-

Step 1 : Go to Realm2 Folder on your Repack Folder.
Step 2 : Go to Configs and open "arcemu-realms"
Step 3 : Change the Following

<Realm1 Name = "Private Server"
Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

to

<Realm1 Name = "Private Server"
Address = "127.0.0.1:8130" <--( Number changed this is for realm2 )
Icon = "PVP"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

that Will separate the realms From merging, Save it!
Step 4 : Go open up "arcemu-world"
Step 5 : Change the Following

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "world" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "characters" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

to

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "Realm2" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "Characters_Realm2" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

(Do the same for realm1 "arcemu-world" just change this and nothing else!!

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "Realm1" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "Characters_Realm1" Port = "3306" Type = "1"> )

Step 6 : Go to the your Repack Folder ( not the realm folders, were "arcemu-logon" is located)
Step 7 : Go to Configs ( there should only be "arcemu-logonserver") Open it.
Step 8 : Change the Following

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "localhost"
Username = "root"
Password = "ascent"
Name = "Characters"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">

to

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "localhost"
Username = "root"
Password = "ascent"
Name = "logon"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">

(that will allow the players to connect to all the realms in your Repack!!)

k you are ready to run them!!! now Start it up and your good to go!!!
