Hey all! [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I've seen people having problems and people having absolutely no idea of how to compile hearthstone, so i decided to make a guide for it.

Note that this is how to compile a server from SCRATCH, no repack or anything.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

In the "URL of repository:" you put this:
Code:
svn://svn.aspiredev.org/AspireCore/trunk
When it's finish downloading, it should say something similar to "Done at revision XXXX"
That is your core revision!

1.2

Go into C:\HearthStone - Compile\extras\dependencies\ then open the 'DLL Files' folder, and copy the 2 .dll files inside.

Then navigate to C:\Windows\system32\ and pase the two .dll files there.

Navigate to C:\HearthStone - Compile\extras\dependencies\VC\lib and copy the files there.

Paste them in your <Visual C++ path>\VC\lib. (The default path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib)

Also copy the files inside C:\HearthStone - Compile\extras\dependencies\VC\include.

Paste them in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include.

Now we're gonna compile the zlib and PCRE libraries, open C:\Hearthstone - Compile\extras\dependencies\Sources and start the open "VC90-solution.sln
".

Do exactly as this pic says :

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

When it's done, make sure there is no "Failed" at the bottom.

Now navigate to C:\HS-Compile\trunk\extras\dependencies\Sources\Output_R elease and copy the two .lib files in there, zlib.lib and pcre.lib.

Pase them into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib.

Note : This only has to be done once per compile!

1.3

First of all, navigate to C:\HS-Compile\trunk\extras\collision\collision_dll\ and open "collision_vc9.sln"
Set output to "Release" and platform to "Win32".
Then "Build Solution".

Now Navigate to C:\HearthStone - Compile\win\ and open "heartstoneVC90.sln"

Do as you did before when compiling, change the output to "Release" and then "Build Solution".

When it's done, make sure it doesn't have any "Failed" at the end.

Now the core is compiled! Simple as that! [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

1.4

Navigate to C:\HS-Compile\trunk\src\scripts\ and open "scripts2008".
Once again, change the output to "Release" and then "Build Solution"

Make sure there's no "Failed" at the end when it's done compiling.

Right now your compiled core is located at C:\HS-Compile\trunk\bin\Release!

1.5

Download this file! : [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

From the extractor pack, copy the files in the MPQE folder over to your World of Warcraft\Data\enUS directory.
Open command prompt. Navigate to the directory using the cd command, like so;

cd C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS

Then execute the following command;

mpqe /p locale-enUS.MPQ DBFilesClient\*.dbc

We also have to put the dbc folder in the "server folder" (It will come later in the guide)

And then we need to extract the maps!

From the extractor pack, copy the ad.exe file to your client's root directory - World of Warcraft\. Create a folder called "maps" and start ad.exe. It should start extracting map files from your client.

We have to put the "maps" folder in the "server folder" also

(Thanks Aspire wiki!)

1.6

Download MySQL - [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and install it.

Make a new folder called "LPDB" and put it on your desktop. Now right-click -> SVN Checkout...
In the URL put in

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

And start downloading it.

When it's done, navigate to Desktop\Lost project DB\trunk\ and open the "LPDB Importer" using Notepad.

Change what i changed in this pic:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

User : root
pass : Your mysql password

Then run the LPDB Importer.bat and this will appear :

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Type "w" and press enter, wait until it's done importing the world database.

When it's done, re-open it and type "c" and press enter and wait until it's done importing the logon and character database. Then exit.

Now you got a compiled core, compiled scripts and a Database! Almost done!

1.7

Now we are gonna put everything together.
Make a new folder anywhere on your computer, name it whatever you want but i'll use "server folder" in this tutorial.

Navigate to C:\HS-Compile\trunk\bin\Release\ And copy the following files :

Hearthstone-world.exe, hearthstone-logonserver.exe, hearthstone-realmserver.exe, hearthstone-voicechat.exe and script_bin folder.

Now navigate to your "server folder" and paste these files.
Then navigate to C:\HS-Compile\trunk\extras\collision\collision_dll\Relea se\ and copy "Collision.dll" and paste that together with the logonserver.exe, world.exe.

Alot of back and forth [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Navigate to C:\HS-Compile\trunk\src\ and copy all the .conf files (hearthstone-world.conf, hearthstone-realmserver.conf, hearthstone-logonserver.conf and hearthstone-voicechat.conf)

Paste these into your "Server folder" together with your .exes.

Now we're gonna edit them to match your server information.
Open up "hearthstone-logonserver.conf" with Notepad.

Locate this and change the red parts:

Also find and change the red parts here:

Close and save your logonserver.conf and open your world.conf

Locate and change the red parts:

And locate this in your world.conf and change the red:

RemotePassword = "The same remote password as in the logonserver.conf">

And atlast, close world.conf and open realmserver.conf and locate and change the red parts:

You're done! Congratulations and i hope this guide was useful, i put down ALOT of time in it.
