[Guide]Create Your Clean ArcEmu Server 2.4.2 -
07-09-2008
Hi everyone !
In this package you'll find :
- The latest compiled ArcEmu emulator ( As of 9/07/2008).
- The latest clean NCDB database ( As of 9/07/2008).
- A comprehensive guide on how to install required software, database and emulator.
Why?
- A lot of people want their own server to play with a few friends and don't care about the code, compiling, ...
- Repacks contain custom items, units and settings. This is your chance to get a clean copy.
- There are not much ArcEmu emulators around here. You must try it...
The package :
- There are 3 guides. One main guide to setup your server(emulator and database) and 2 smaller guides which will guide (newbies) through the installation of MySQL 5.0 and Navicat.
- You can download my guides [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
Just follow the instructions of Guide.txt .
Notes :
- The ArcEmu emulator is compiled for x86 systems(32 bit) !
- Even though English is not my native language, the guides should be crystal clear. If however you find unacceptable mistakes, feel free to PM me.
- If you find mistakes/unclear explanations in the guide, post them here and I'll correct.
- Suggestions are also welcome !
Because moderators complain about this not being a guide lol, here's the guide you'll find in the package :
(yes now my thread became chaotic)

Hey.
Nice pack and easy guide, I am new at this server running thing but for me this guide did the trick.
Now the server is up and running, I can play on it, do whatever I want and all. The problems arrives when my friends are trying to join.
After days of struggling I have finally managed to make them find my server and be able to connect(with their own accounts), but when they do connect they can see the realm I have made but not join it, when they choose this realm it just pops right back up. What do I do to solve this problem? In advance, thank you.

Hi Nicoen.
Actually, I don't have the answer as I never had this. I hope someone will be able to to answer in a direct way.
What I'm thinking of is ... "ports". --> I think your router blocks the incoming data ^^ Find a guide here on how to make your server public, you'll have a list of the ports you need to open and how ! Good luck ! And if you have other problems, ask or PM !
