Alpha Legends

Attemp to create the first playable 0.5.3 emulator. This project started as a fork of barncastle's Alpha-WoW.

Requirements

Extract the .dbc files from the client and put them in a folder called dbc, then move it to the same folder as your compiled executable (Usually bin/Debug). Alternatively someone is hosting a copy of the dbc files here
Run the sql file under the Database folder, and then apply everything inside the Database/Updates folder.
Rename the app.config.dist file inside the WorldServer folder to app.config and edit it to point at your database server.

Copy the config.wtf file located inside the dist/ folder to your client's WTF folder.
Execute the WoWClient.exe file with -uptodate argument. I also recommend executing it with -windowed argument and/or -console argument, for convenience. Under GNU/Linux, Wine works fine, and under Windows, Windows XP compatibility mode is recommended.
The account information is stored in a file called wow.ses. To create an account, launch the server and write createacc name password [gmlevel (0 or 1)] in the terminal.

Logitech G Hub and Origin updater could use the same port as server, so it's recommended to close them if you have problems during server initialization with busy sockets.
