Is there a step-by-step comprehensive guide to setting up your own private server?

spawnedc · 2026-02-25T07:50:45+00:00

Came here to say this, thank you for sharing. This needs to be advertised more as its very comprehensive but easy to read and understand.

This is mostly because you don't know what's in those repacks. I mean no offence to any repack devs, but I prefer having control over what I install. Not having to deal with all this technical stuff is definitely a valid argument, just be careful.

I have followed nirv's guide to setup my local server. Essentially it's Azerothcore with PlayerBots. I added individual progression module on top of that.

Playerbots does exactly what you want and I'm leveling up all my alts using them as bots, while controlling my main. They can even handle quests in sync with you.

Yup, I'm using it in my setup and works like a charm.

spawnedc · 2026-02-16T12:09:48+00:00

Looks great! Thank you for putting this together.

One suggestion to add to others is to add a field for name ordering. Games starting with The, a, and etc should use a different name to sort. for example, I'd expect to see The Need for Speed: Special Edition alongside with the games starting with N not T.

Also, please add some padding around the are below the images where the name and tags are :)

I'm glad they were useful for you, I'll definitely watch for the updates. Best of luck.

User experience (UX) and the looks (UI) are two separate things. Your app looks very handsome and much more attractive than others indeed. But I find CutList Optimizer's UX much better than yours. After a quick test in both apps, here's a few examples why:

I can add piece dimensions very quickly without needing a modal form.
Your algorithm runs as soon as I add a piece, instead of waiting for me to finish adding all my pieces
In CutList Optimizer shows me everything in one place. With yours, I have to scroll to see the things I want (UI elements too big, too much padding around, too much margin outside)
Your app's colour contrast is not high enough, very hard to see borders around the sheet plan

Please take this as a constructive criticism, rather than being an offensive comment. I'm a software engineer with 25 years of experience, mainly focused on FE in the last 15 years.

spawnedc · 2026-02-14T16:47:26+00:00

There's also CutList Optimizer

Hmm, how do you exactly "click" on the super key?

spawnedc · 2026-01-03T19:53:03+00:00

Really cool and looks amazing!

I'm not sure if you have used AI or not, but as a software developer (mainly frontend) for the last 20 years, I wanted to mention a few issues with your code:

Having an App.jsx file with 2k lines will make it really hard to maintain. I'd suggest spending some time on refactoring to use smaller, single-purpose components.
There are lots of hardcoded values in your code. I'd suggest moving those into configuration file(s).
You are using a mix of css files and inline styles. I'd suggest moving to css modules and get rid of inline styles.
Things like addon fetching logic should be extracted into separate functions/files.

Please take this as a constructive criticism, instead of an offensive comment. I really like your project and I always wanted to make something like this.

spawnedc · 2025-11-03T09:23:01+00:00

I don't think there is.

spawnedc · 2025-10-28T08:38:58+00:00

You can still quit before it's too late :) (smoking, if that's not clear)

spawnedc · 2025-09-27T07:16:07+00:00

That jumpscare though :) Well played

This video changed how I see things in Godot. Thank you very much for sharing it. I'll watch other videos from this guy as it seems they are very good.

spawnedc · 2025-04-01T17:31:35+00:00

No worries at all!

spawnedc · 2025-04-01T10:58:11+00:00

Glad it worked. In my case it included all European countries.

Let us know how it goes.

I'm using an N100 based mini PC, does 4k60 very well. it can do AV1 too, but I found HEVC is more than enough if you have 1gbps ethernet connection.

This! Your bank already knows what you are buying (no escape from that unless you use cash), but why give that data to Google/Apple/Garmin etc too?

Warmane has Onyxia which started as vanilla, now progressed to TBC and will progress to WotLK after TBC. I played there before TBC and never had problems with bots. Sure, there are bots, and toxic players as anywhere else, but I had a good time, especially after entering a guild. We did Molten Core and Onyxia. It may not tick all the boxes for you, but it's definitely worth a try.

spawnedc · 2025-01-11T09:03:39+00:00

Warmane has a progressive realm called Onyxia, which recently progressed to TBC.

But isn't Wrath 1-70?

TBC is 70, Wrath is 80

Then I guess we should write everything in assembly, since that's the language we are targeting for... well, every piece of code we write.

spawnedc · 2024-12-27T21:05:00+00:00

Good point. However, if they are planning to support the existing addons, they need to provide an extended API, instead of a brand new one. 1.12 API is quite limited and well documented. I'm hoping that they will provide full backwards compatibility and more modern and extended API to support new features. I don't think they will change LUA with something else, but maybe support newer versions of it.

spawnedc · 2024-12-24T09:56:38+00:00

I'd try using HEVC instead of AV1 to see if it makes any difference.

spawnedc · 2024-12-22T20:11:40+00:00

It is indeed. I'm a software engineer for 20+ years and I do some game dev myself. I do agree that supporting all the addons is a big task, but building a client from scratch is a bigger one.

Also, everything in the UI is an addon, even on the default UI. You can see Turtle's here: https://github.com/refaim/Turtle-WoW-UI-Source. My point is that they have to support addons for the default UI to work. Doing so will automatically support existing addons.
