World of Warcraft Server Script System

Github repository

Description

WoWSSS is a script system designed to install and manage a World of Warcraft private server from scratch. It uses AzerothCore for a "Wrath of the Lich King" server, TrinityCore for a "Cataclysm" server and Legends-of-Azeroth for a "Mists of Pandaria" server.

Installation

Supported (and tested) distributions: Ubuntu 24, Ubuntu 22(1), Linuxmint 22, Kubuntu 24, Lubuntu 24, Debian 12(1). Just clone WoWSSS from github anywhere in your (sudoer) user directory. Copy file settings.sh.dist to settings.sh. Edit file settings.sh to setup your preferences. Launch the start.sh or wowsss.sh scripts to start the installation and compilation process. From now on, every time WoWSSS finds any server installation it will show the maintenance menu, where you'll be able to start/stop the servers, update and compile the sources and make backups.

First start

Assuming you've configured or let WoWSSS configure the database servers, you have to start the game servers and let them do the databases job. Wait for worldserver to populate the databases (w - to change to worldserver and watch the progress). Answer "yes" whenever it asks about populating an empty database. Once you get the worldserver user prompt (AC> or TC>) you must create an account (an admin account would be wise):

(You can press ^A^D to get back to the WoWSSS main menu at any time.)

AzerothCore/WotLK	TrinitiyCore/Cataclysm	Legends-of-Azeroth/MoP
Create and admin user	Create and admin user	Create and admin user
AC> account create admin admin	TC> bnetaccount create admin@ admin	SF> account create admin admin
	TC>Battle.net account created: admin@ with game account 1#1
AC> account set gmlevel admin 3 -1	TC> account set gmlevel 1#1 3 -1	SF> account set gmlevel admin 3 -1
Create a player user	Create a player user	Create a player user
AC> account create player player	TC> bnetaccount create player@ player	SF> account create player player
Shutdown the server	Shutdown the server	Shutdown the server
AC> shutdown server 1	TC> shutdown server 1	SF> shutdown server 1

Stop the servers.

Last step: configure the server IPs:

D) Databases -> I) Configure realm IPs -> 1) Private server

Restart the servers. Configure your Windows client and start playing.
