Linux Server Setup

Compile tools in RelWithDebInfo or Release mode. Debug is way slower for extraction and only suggested if you have specific crashes to report. {.is-warning}

Extracting Cameras, DBC (or DB2), Maps, VMaps & MMaps

Cameras, DBC and Maps files

cd <your WoW client directory>
/home/<username>/server/bin/mapextractor
mkdir /home/<username>/server/data
  
# Next line is 3.3.5 only
cp -r cameras dbc maps /home/<username>/server/data
# Next line is master only
cp -r cameras dbc maps gt /home/<username>/server/data
 
edit worldserver.conf and change datadir from "." to "../data"

Visual Maps (aka vmaps)

You can also extract vmaps which will take quite a while depending on your machine (up to hours on ancient hardware). Note: If you stop vmap4extractor before finish you will need to delete the Buildings directory before start again.

cd <your WoW client directory>
/home/<username>/server/bin/vmap4extractor
mkdir vmaps
/home/<username>/server/bin/vmap4assembler Buildings vmaps
cp -r vmaps /home/<username>/server/data

When this is complete you will receive the following message which can be safely ignored.

Done!
  
Extract V4.00 2012_02. Work complete. No errors.

Movement Maps (aka mmaps - optional RECOMMENDED)

Extracting mmaps will take quite a while depending on your machine (up to hours).

cd <your WoW client directory>
mkdir mmaps
/home/<username>/server/bin/mmaps_generator
cp -r mmaps /home/<username>/server/data

Setting up the configuration files

First of all you need to find the two default config files (named worldserver.conf.dist and authserver.conf.dist (bnetserver.conf.dist in master) ) and copy these to their namesakes without the .dist extension. You can find them within /trinitycore/etc/ (may vary).

cp worldserver.conf.dist worldserver.conf
cp authserver.conf.dist authserver.conf # 3.3.5 only
cp bnetserver.conf.dist bnetserver.conf # master only
