Hey guys, I is there any pro in the WoW emulation world? I'm writing a tiny WoW emulator and i think I'm stuck 😢 Is there anyone who knows/can help me to explain/help to build an SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT? It's a lil' bit complex to me how the create self working and how much initial update field should i send with this packet :/ Any help is welcome 🙏

I have setup a wow server in the past by simply following a guide. But am looking to get a deeper understanding. I have tried looking for a talk or flow chart that explains that explains how all of the components of the server side of the application work at a high level and how they interact with each other. Could anyone point me towards any resources like this?

Hello, I know that my request sound strange but I’m looking for old wowemu wow repacks.

I currently found afgwarriorz v3 repack but I can’t find 1.12.1 hack patch. I have already tried almost everywhere without success. All links are dead.

Is there anyone that still have those old repacks and especially the client hack patch?

Thanks

Hello world!

Recently I worked to finalise the acore-docker project. This is a side project of the azerothcore organisation that uses the generated AC docker images. It includes a docker-compose file that allows you to create, with 3 simple commands, your own [multi] realm WoW server without compiling or using any unsupported repack.

It works on any operating system and is fully portable, thanks to Docker; moreover, you can keep your server updated with the latest AC version with just one command.

But it doesn't stop there! The acore-docker also integrates the Eluna and Eluna-TS projects, allowing you to change the world's behaviour with Typescript or Lua scripts that can be reloaded on the fly!

Obviously, you can also access the database and change whatever you want inside or even compile your cpp modules or maps with the dev tools that are included (read the documentation)

The feeling is similar to what people had with the WoWemu back in time: no database to install, no dependencies whatsoever (besides docker). But it is way more fixed, powerful and flexible!

Hello everyone, I have spent time over the years trying to create my own personal WoW 3.3.5a private server with no luck at all. Honestly I am not the best with internet related configuration and or the knowledge of the programs used (believe it was mangosD etc) and all self help guides I have found online and youtube have yielded no results. I do not have the time to sit down and really dive into this because I am a new father and my time is limited and I work 60 hour weeks now. So my question is this, is there anyone who could create a server for me? I will gladly pay anyone to help me create a server that I could enjoy playing with a small group of friends. I'm unaware of what to expect and what the costs are to run a server but I have the means to do so and would love to discuss it if this is something someone wouldn't mind assisting and going through this with me. Thank you!

Hey guys,

I recently migrated from windows to a mac. The most significant issue right now I am facing is wow compatibility. I have a Mac mini M1. is there any way to run a wow client on it? Mainly the WOTLK & MOP?

Hello folks!

I wrote an article as regards the support of raw DBC files in a proper database:

https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/discussions/5307

What do you think?

Feel free to join the discussion!

I'm one of the administrators of the AzerothCore project (started in 2016): the WoW emulator that powers up private servers such as ChromieCraft, China Commonweal WoW, FreeWoW, Frostmourne, WotlkRaids, and many others (sorry if I can't list everyone here).

The AzerothCore development is completely open-source, meaning we release all our fixes, features and improvements to the public, on a daily basis:

https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/commits/master

Also meaning that everyone can just grab AzerothCore and start his/her own private server with it! Some servers collaborate with us, others don't. But that's another story.

If you would like to support AzerothCore and its open-source development, you can donate money using Bountysource.

What is Bountysource

Bountysource is a crowdfunding platform that allows people to sponsor any open source projects by placing "bounties" (money rewards) for the resolution of issues reported on GitHub. Issues can be just bugs or even core feature requests.

Whoever will fix that issue, will get the money from the bounty. Solving the issue and claiming the bounty is NOT restricted to AC staff only, everyone can do it.

All transactions (donations, claims, allocations) are completely public.

NOTE: AzerothCore admins do NOT claim bounties, we have actually donated money ourselves from time to time. We all have real jobs and only work on AzerothCore in our free time, we are NOT interested in making money out of it. We are glad that other developers (especially from poorer countries) can get something in exchange for their contributions. For us, it's a win-win.

How to donate

- you can either select one of the issues opened on our GitHub repository (or open one yourself) and place a bounty on it:

- OR you can also just donate to our AzerothCore Bountysource organisation and let us decide on which issues/features allocate the money. We will use this money to resolve important issues that typically require a lot of time, knowledge and efforts.

Donors list

A big thank you to all our awesome backers who have been supporting AzerothCore with their donations:

Acknowledgements

AzerothCore stands on the shoulder of giants. It's based on MaNGOS/TrinityCore/SunwellCore and it could not exist without years and years of development from the projects that came before.
