[@VincentADK]

Solid guide, as always!

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Thank you! :)

The idea of delving into a WoW alpha build is wild… I don’t know that I’d want to build one, but I’d love to play and explore it, if only to see the framework and explore the creative development process.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

It is very interesting to explore for sure!

[@hungryOrb]

Very cool! Might want to try this on a desktop.

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Absolutely! :)

[@alittledarling9729]

like and commented, even though i have no rasberry pi :)

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

Haha thank you! :)

I see you've found a way to set the time zone properly. My method of changing the symbolic link was way more difficult. I'm going to add your method to my Azerothcore Docker command file. Thanks!

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

No problem :)

@@Digital-Scriptorium This isn't going to work after all for the Azerothcore docker-compose. Once I opened the file, I remembered I already tried this. Great video regardless :)

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

@@fixitman2174 it was worth trying :)

This alpha version is awesome, probably developed in 2002 or so

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

2003 :)

I've been kind of confused by the alpha project... Is it a fan made best guess at what the FAF alpha was like, or were they able to obtain actual data for spawns and such?

[@Digital-Scriptorium]

It has base data that was leaked before launch and then pieced together by tens of thousands of screenshots, development notes, and emails. Missing data is then brought in from the VMangos project until proven otherwise.

@@Digital-Scriptorium That's sick. I remember playing on an emulated server build that was just the empty world back in like 2007 or something exploring all the weird differences. Gonna have to play with this. Cheers

@sirflimflam enjoy! :)
