Hi!:D (i made this myself by the way)

I am going to show you how to a make you're own AC-web repack private server and how to make it public.

creating you're server

First of all you need to download AC ultimate repack
download:http://www.ac-web.org/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=42
http://http://www.ac-web.org/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=42
When it has finished downloading extract the map extractor enGB or enUS (depending on where you live) to the world of warcraft directory usually C:/programfiles/worldofwarcraft
and start the AD.exe and let it do it's magic.
When that has finished you can delete AD.exe from the World of Warcarft directory and put the MAPS folder that into the server directory usually C:/AcwebultimaterepackC:/Acwebultimaterepack and put the maps folder into the ASCENT folder.
You're server is now up and running but it is not public.
If you want to play alone and not have you're server public stop here.
but remember before you go on the server change you're REALMLIST.WTF located in you're world of warcraft directory (C:/programfiles/worldofwarcraft) to "set realmlist 127.0.0.1" but with out the "" of course. to start the server you need to go into you're server files (C:/acwebultimaterepack) and click on CONTROL PANEL when that comes up click server start (the big button in the middle) and four screens should pop up DON'T CLOSE THEM! because you need them up to play on you're server. go on to world of warcraft and logg in with username:admin password:admin and create a character and play!
now lets move on.

Making you're server public

This is the hard bit so if it doesn't work read it again.

ok to start with go to http://dyndns.com
and create a account. Loggin and Click services then click Dynamic dns and then click get started at the right of the screen.In hostname i suggest putting the name you want you're server to be called and to the right of that you can choose whatever you want. MAKE SURE WILDCARD IS TICKED. For IP address jjust click auto detect IP address. Remember to write down the hostname you put in as we will need it for later. Then click create host. Now go to start then RUN and put in "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc" without the "" and click on HOSTS (open it with notepad) put in at the bottom "(you're external IP address here) (You're DynDns hostname you did earlier here)

e.g 81.194.258.233 Rileywow.servegame.org

To get You're external IP go to http://ipchicken.com


<Realm1 Name = "(whatever you want you're server to be called)"
Address = "(You're external ip):8129"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

Now for the hard bit. go to START then RUN then put in CMD then click ok (a black screen should come up) in the black screen type "ipconfig" without the "" and it should say "default gateway.............: Then some numbers (copy those numbers into you're browser address bar (if it tells you you need a password the password is admin and the user should be admin too). Then go onto the port fowarding page.
and foward ports
8129
8093
3724
3727
80

MUST HAVE ENABLED TICKED!
put TPC and UPC or something like that.
put the ip you used in the address bar if it asks for it.
and click apply changes.

You're server is now public to let other people play give them you're internal ip and tell them to put it in thier Realmlist.wtf in their world of warcraft directory.For you to play you do the same.

All credits go to me as it took me about an hour to write all this:)
any questions reply to this thread i will try to answer them.
Thank you for useing my guide.

Here it gets confusing. What i need to do with ;
<Realm1 Name = "(whatever you want you're server to be called)"
Address = "(You're internal ip):8129"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

And when put my default gateaway numbers in it i need a password :S :rolleyes:

start the server manually
start it as followed
1:MySQL (remember to close all other MySQL programs)
2:Apache (only for website)
3:Logonserver
4:Ascent

First, noobs plz leave ok, this is so **** stupid, when something says u need something you use the somewhat existing brain you have and GET IT!!!!

+rep nice guide dude, only thing wrong is when people want to connect they must put in your external IP or dyndns and realms.conf has to have 2 realms, and realmCount = 2 , one realm with internal IP and one with external IP. Ya, other than that nice guide.
