Alright, These are my guides I made for my host who knows nothing about emulating, But you guys can see it 2. These are my first guides. TY all the members of ac-web who helped me understand navicat and ascent.

Guide to setting up repack (server):
1. Ok, First you gotta download the newest repack, At the time of post it was 7.3, You can find it in the download section of ac-web.org.
2. Now install it into your c drive and open up the folder. Extract the map extractor into your WoW folder and run ad.exe
3. When thats done you need to move the maps folder into C:\AC Web Ultimate Repack
4. Now to play solo open control panel (in the folder) and click on "Start Server", cant miss it. Then go into your WoW folder like you did with step 2 and open up the file realmlist.wtf with notepad, change the text to set realmlist 127.0.0.1 Then save and close that.
5. Close WoW (if it was open), And now you can play on your server with username: admin password: admin

Guide to setting up Navicat:
1. First you gotta download navicat http://www.mediafire.com/?0toofuwudkd
(Ty xxtoni!)
2. Now open navicat and hit the button that says "Connection". (its near the top) The connection name can be w/e, Host name is localhost, port 3306, username root password ascent
3. Now hit test connection, You need mysql running (it opens when you hit "Open Server" on the control panel) If it says successful or something like that, hit ok.
4. Now just click on the new connection in the list and your done!

How to make custom items!

1. Go to http://wow-v.com/index.php?terms=accepted and make an account
2. Hover over the tools tab near the top and choose what you want to make from the dropdown list
3. Fill out the blanks, The displayId can be found by going to http://wow.allakhazam.com/ by searching for ur item, When on the items page click on xml and hitting ctrl+f, and searching for displayinfo. There will be a number by it, thats the display id
4.The entry id is what you say to spawn it, So make it a high number, I use numbers in the 100k's and/or millions
5. Hit download batch on the top one for antrix/ascent once you have hit submit at the bottom.
6. Go into navicat, open your connection (click on the connection you made earlier) and click on ascent
7. Right click ascent and choose "Execute Batch File" from the dropdown menu.
8. Select the item file you saved from wow-v and hit ok. When it says successful hit close.
9. Go into WoW and type the command (any admin can do this) .reloadtable items
10. When it says complete in blue letters, its done! Add your item with .additem entryid
