Set up the AAEmu 10.x client and server.

The guide uses <SERVER_ROOT> and <CLIENT_ROOT> as placeholders. Replace them with your own paths whenever you edit a command or configuration file.

When this step is finished, your client folder should match the layout below. The game\ folder must contain the unpacked game data.

<CLIENT_ROOT>\Bin64\archeage.exe
<CLIENT_ROOT>\Bin64\AAEmu.ZoneHost.exe
<CLIENT_ROOT>\Bin64\x2game-dev_dedicate.dll
<CLIENT_ROOT>\game\
<CLIENT_ROOT>\game\config\dedicated.cfg
<CLIENT_ROOT>\game\db\game_decrypted.sqlite3
<CLIENT_ROOT>\game\db\compact.sqlite3
<CLIENT_ROOT>\game_pak-

<CLIENT_ROOT>\game\db\game_decrypted.sqlite3
→ <SERVER_ROOT>\AAEmu.Game\Data\compact.sqlite3

Open <CLIENT_ROOT>\game\config\dedicated.cfg and replace its entire contents with the configuration below. Save it as plain text.

sys_dedicated_server = 1
e_render = 0
r_Driver = "Null"
r_Width = 64
r_Height = 64
world_serveraddr = "127.0.0.1"
world_serverport = 1240
log_Verbosity = 3
db_location = "game/db/game_decrypted.sqlite3"
locale = "en_us"
bot_account = Test
cl_account=Test
cl_shadow = 1234
cl_account_id = 1
cl_serveraddr = 127.0.0.1
auth_serveraddr = 127.0.0.1
auth_serverport=1237
editor_serveraddr = 127.0.0.1
editor_server_branch_addr = 127.0.0.1
--world_serveraddr = 127.0.0.1
cl_serverport = 1239
e_cbuffer = 0
e_render = 0
e_time_of_day_engine_update = 0
e_phys_foliage = 0
e_vegetation_min_size = 1
e_vegetation_create_collision_only = 1
e_stream_cgf = 1
--prefab_cache_xml = 0
prefab_use_mmf = 1
p_notify_epsilon_living = 0.05
ca_thread = 0
ca_UnloadAnim = 0
min_time_step = 0
log_includeMemory = 1
sys_console_draw_always = 0

Complete this step once. Use MySQL Workbench or the MySQL command line, and keep the MySQL root password nearby for the next step.

Open PowerShell, move to the server root, and run both build scripts. Wait for the first build to finish before starting the second.

Set-Location "<SERVER_ROOT>"
.\Scripts\BuildLoginServer.bat
.\Scripts\BuildWorldServer.bat

Use a separate window for Login, World, and Zone Manager. Do not close an earlier program when starting the next one.

Set-Location "<SERVER_ROOT>\Scripts"
.\StartLoginServer.bat
