Thread 717042707

Since retards make threads everyday shilling for either failed/trooned private servers or yet another garbage expansion from Blizzard that "will totally fix everything this time guys trust me" I wanna make a thread about Azerothcore and the Single Player Project. I haven't seen a thread about it in a while anyways.

>What is the Single Player Project?
It's setting up and hosting a local wow server yourself. The server can be filled with bots that play the game to emulate real players. There's also various modules to tailor the server to your preference. Like allowing any race/class combo, progression locking, transmog, etc.

>How easy is it to setup?
Depends on how you want to set things up. If you want to do it the proper way, then setting up Azerothcore on a virtual machine takes maybe 30 minutes to an hour when you follow along with guides that can be found on YouTube. Then you can add modules and tweak world settings to your preference.

Here's a decent guide for setting up Azerothcore on a VM.

If you want a fun new virus on your machine or to mine bitcoin for some Slav then you can also just install a repack.

>Will a repack actually fuck up my pc?
Being serious, probably not if from a well known source. It has happened in the past though. Heres a link to SPP classics that's safe and should be easy to install.

It's still better to compile a server manually for max reliability/server customization and being able to update everything whenever you want. So personally I advise against repacks.

>Can I raid/pvp with the bots?
Yes and Yes.

Have some dude fighting ony as an example.

>Can I talk/ERP with the bots
Playerbots have a generic list of speech they pull from. However people have been working on setting up a LLM to chat with the bots. Still WIP but might be worth checking out.

>inb4 "lol just play a real server instead of with bots"
You already play with bots. You just don't know it.

>>717042707 (OP)
Looks interesting. Maybe they could create some kind of engine that let people play in solo-player or in LAN party.

>>717043205
> A lot of bots connected on WoW

> A master PC where the guy is playing some kind of Klondike/Solitaire game

More funny and intriguing, I think.

>>717042707 (OP)
the only time this mfer plays on a pvp server is when the pvpers are all bots

>>717042707 (OP)
I recently stopped working on an azerothcore-based project because it seems like it's the shittier option. If i was to continue, i'd port my work to trinity core, but i CBF.

It's supposed to be designed to make modding easier, but the documentation is really lacking. As a result I ended up fucking with the core instead of using their funny module system, as well as a few scripts with eluna, which also has arse docs.

If you want to do things like multi-class/classless, customize NPC equipment beyond 3 items, and mess with things like the languages, you have to do bend-over backwards C++ anal-gymnastics to achieve anything.

Anyway not to discourage you, i hope you make something cool.

>solo-player
If you mean doing raids and dungeons completely solo then that is something you can setup. A module for Azerothcore literally called solocraft is specifically for that.

There's also nothing stopping you from inviting other people to your server if you wanted. It's still a private server like any other.

>classicniggas would rather beat bots than actually play with real people
holy cuck lmaooooooooo

ultra based thread

>shadow priest
I always wonder when they implement a patch that separates the good shadow priests from the afk ones...

>>717044642
yeah i downloaded a repack that was giving me resurrection sickness every time i revived even though there's a module option to prevent that so i had to upgrade my account to a GM account just so i can remove res sickness, it's retarded

>>717044642
Honestly I know fuck all about the actual backend of how Azerothcore works and is developed. I'm just a retard who follows guides and presses buttons and was still able to set everything up without issue. So I can appreciate azerothcore for that. Though I'm sure if I tried to do anything beyond initial setup and installing modules I'd want to kill myself.

>outdpsed by a bot lock
grim

>>717046626
the bots play perfectly and usually have retarded busted gear if it's server bots and not just your alts

>>717046667
whatever helps you sleep at night

can I recreate all the characters of my friends and family members and play with them one last time again?

been in a couple of these threads before
seems like the project is mostly abandoned or a year or two old at least. Needs to be updated with the latest AI tech.

>>717046987
this

Once the ai is up running I'll try it

I think these types of projects have a lot of potential. Retards can't see it because they think AI will always be the way it currently is. In 10 years, I think we'll have AI that's good enough to simulate an MMO server so perfectly that you won't be able to tell you're playing with real players or not.

>>717047351
I'm hyped as shit to just play some simple 8 player arena games with decent bots, it's impossible to get a full group to do anything if you're not a social butterfly

>>717046153
>do attack my target
at once, saar.

Can I make a night elf harem yet?

>>717048462
yeah you can make characters and then summon them on another character, so you could customize a whole harem and level with them

>>717046724
holy shit that nigga was coping
but i mean vanilla is that bad, bots can literally outdps real players

>>717048564
This. Setup the llm for them and you're all set.

Wine keeps teleporting my cursor to another screen when I click on anything in my client, anyone ever had similar problems?

>replying to your own bait post 30 minutes later because you didn't get the attention you wanted
lol

>>717049365
Any thread about SPP tends to attract that kind of autism for some reason.

Sorry I will never understand the appeal of wanting to play a single player mmo.

I've wanted to do this but the problem is that the raids seem to be shit with them since they don't know mechanics of raids

finally a good fucking thread

>>717042707 (OP)
Pardon my ignorance, I'm not familiar with MMOs but playing like this wouldn't defeat the purpose? Or is there more to it?

already messed around with a wrath server but the bots cant handle certain mechanics so some encounters you just have to cheese
ill stick with erenshor for now

>>717050356
It's a single player wow.
WoW isn't exactly known by its depth, I don't understand why would anyone play this but it's a fun to test I guess.
Also, all this talk about needing a virtual machine is for retarded zoomers who don't understand anything at all.

>>717046667
>and not just your alts
Wait wut? You can make a guild all of your own bot alts you gear yourself? If your willing to level several characters its like the perfect version of wow, you get to be guild master with all the perks but
>No guild drama
>No crying
>No late or absent core raiders
>No retards standing in fire every pull
>No retards failing their 2-3 button rotation
>No shitters with garbage gear trying to get carried
Where tf do i sign up?

Unrelated, but I just got a 24 hour chat mute in Turtle for saying "glory to the CCP" when everyone else was talking about Taiwan in global chat.

>>717050676
did you donate money to the server owners?

>>717050719
No, why would I do that?

>>717042707 (OP)
Thanks for making this thread OP. Ive actually been looking everywhere for a compatible version fo questie for TBC 2.4.3 but no luck. It seems you have to rely on older quest helpers like, well questhelper but I'm hoping one day will back port it for TBC

>>717049827
>>717050356
Depends on what you want out of it. If you really like the leveling experience of wow then you just have a server that you can always have available to hop on and level a character. If you like raiding but hate having to deal with discord circle jerk autists like myself. You can now raid without needing to deal with that anymore. It's also just nice to always have a server that you can call yours instead of always having a chance for a server to go down and you losing all your characters.

>>717050661
That's literally what I'm doing right now. I'm leveling a bunch of characters so I can take them all into raids going through Classic
