-# azerothcore_installer
-Simple classic installer with playerbots and ah-bot for solo / friends play
+# azerothcore_installer [WIP]
+A simple classic Azerothcore installer with playerbots and ahbot for solo / friends play. 
+For now a quick guide with a abit of common sense and experience i guess, this is just quick setup since i kinda made it for personal use. I prolly will test abit more and add some additional 'features' such as
+auto character import/export. 
+
+Why classic and not docker? Even though i love docker it does add some additional layer of complexity especially when playing around with modules and settings. Hence making this tiny wrapper instead of a 
+docker image. Obviously this can be translated into a container, but if you able to run a container you should be able to run the default wiki installation embedded in the azerothcore instead.
+
+It might contain some errors and whatnot, hopefully it will give you some guidance when you have trouble with the classic installation with playerbots and ah-bot. I havent covered every step with great detail
+i might add a 'real' guide when i have the time.
+
+## Todo
+ - min/max bot amount, threads performance
+ - test MariaDB vs mySQL, mariaDB feels faster maybe i am seeing ghost though. (done and seeems equal)
+ - Integrate the player export/import
+ - Integrate database full backup
+ - Consider setting vmplayer on priority from 'normal' to 'high'
+
+
+# Server setup
+ - vmware player
+ - ubuntu-24.04-live-server-amd64.iso
+ - minimal setup
+ - 70GB disksize (minimal 50GB)
+ - 16 GB memorysize
+ - 4 cores (amd 5700x)
+ - network (bridged mode)
+
+## Ubuntu server settings
+
+Update and install tooling
+```bash
+sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
+sudo git net-tools
+```
+
+Find network IP, should be something like 192.168.x.x 
+```bash
+ifconfig
+```
+
+###### Internet server
+Use the above (ifconfig) IP for the following router poort-forwarding and/or firewall rules settings.
+````
+# 3724 TCP AUTH-SERVER
+# 8085 TCP WORLD-SERVER
+````
+Go to e.g. [whatsmyip](https://whatismyip.com/) and use that IP as realm IP in the variables.sh
+and the client 3.3.5a 'data/enUS/realmlist.wtf' files
+
+###### Local server
+Use the above IP (ifconfig) as realm IP in the variables.sh and the client 3.3.5a 
+'data/enUS/realmlist.wtf' files.
+
+
+# Installer
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/hermensbas/azerothcore_installer.git
+cd azerothcore_installer.git
+chmod +x *.sh
+```
+And simply follow the steps of the scripts.
+
+For the first install, make sure after 'start.sh' you logon on the tmux session of the world-server by typing 'wow'
+and hit next, next, next when prompting for creating databases.
+
+###### ah-bot
+Create normal account and use helper/find-character.sh 'charname' to find the accountId and characterId (GUID)
+and update your ah-mod config in the ./config folder and reapply the config and start the server again.
+
+```tree
+├── 1_download.sh (downloads the sources and client-data)
+├── 2_update.sh (updates and resets the downloaded sources to latest)
+├── 3_build.sh (builds the server structure and such)
+├── 4_compile.sh (compiles the server code)
+├── 5_config.sh (applies general configuration and that defined in ./config, restart required)
+├── 6_start.sh (starts the client but can be done through alias created by config.sh)

+│   └── data.zip

+│   ├── azerothcore
+│   └── modules
+├── _server (the build and compiled server code based on the downloaded code)
+│   └── azerothcore
+├── config (custom config which be merged on top of the generated .dist configs)
+│   ├── authserver.conf
+│   ├── modules
+│   └── worldserver.conf
+├── helper (simple helper scripts for ah-bot and clearing ah-bot)
+│   ├── clear-ah.sh
+│   └── find-character.sh
+├── lib
+│   ├── clear-bots.sql
+│   ├── general-settings.sh
+│   └── merge_core.sh (maybe when your abit more advanced with git and concepts like rebase and merge, but this merges the original azerothcore into the playerbot fork, if e.g. the u need a fix asap)
+└── variables.sh (contains project variables such as realm IP and name, min-max items for ah-bot etc.
+````
+
+General info
+The ah-bot and playerbots modules are integrated sort off, you will need to create an account for th ah-bot and complete the 
+ah-bot config by using the find-character.sh script. 
+
+And every start all bots data will be deleted to maintai a clean database and remain the balance between the 
+levels of among the bots as they grow over time.
+
+# Client
+3.3.5a (Can be found through chromiecraft or simply join that server hosted and developed y azerothcore
+
+Addons:
+- Allstats
+- QuestHelper
+- UnBot (english version), used to control the playerbots
+- AI_VoiceOver
+- AI_VoiceOverData_Vanilla
+
+# Server stability
+Obviously the more custom modules are installed the more risk of encountering problems, playerbot is still being developed. 
+If you experience random disconnects without 'any' reason playerbot might be the cause, you might wanna try to rebuild/recompile the code and/or lower the bot amount)
+
+# Changing config
+After changing the config files in the /config folder, run the following commands:
+  - 1. config - by alias 'config' or running the 5_config.sh) 
+  - 2. Server restart - by stop/start or simply a 'AC> server restart 1' command in the world-server session
