I feel dumb :| Just found out that it's possible to edit a mysql DB while its running, instead of attempting to use notepad++ on the ibd files XD I wish I found out sooner lol. Regarding the closed source though, do I need to reinstall mysql and edit an init file to reset the user/password? I wonder if the 7.3.5 repack has the creds posted somewhere

With HeidiSQL connect to your database, for this repack the username is root and password is ascent (port is 3306)
so dont edit any other files cuz you can screw the connection between the auth, world and database.
1. Click on the realmlist
2. Click on Data tab
3. Edit only this, you can leave local address if the auth and world server are on the same pc as the database..

I had the issue not being able to let my friends connect to my Legion repack until i figured out there was some kind of a problem with win 10 and legion repacks.. WoTLK worked just fine but not legion..
So i took an older laptop, installed win 7 on it and ran the repack there, I installed ZeroTierOne VPN program so i dont have to port forward anything and also have a full control on who connects to my network (Zero Tier One requires a small setup trough their webpage to enable users to connect to you, but you only need to do it once and it works for every local server game out there, its basicly like hamachi only better)
Changed the IP in the database and it worked like a charm, the same exact setup didnt work in win 10 so you can imagine me trying everything to make it work..took me 10 hours to figure it out..

Quote:denks said:You are not wrong, it's just that this really depends on the router / network configuration he is using. Some don't 'understand' NAT-ting the external to internal network IP. I'm not sure if this repack supports localAddress on database, but the same could be configured in the Windows hostfile. Perhaps this is the troubleshoot he's looking for, example as below:

I looked into what denks said about windows 10, I was able to overcome the firewall. I noticed if you just destroyed windows defender then the incoming LAN connections would work (It is hosted on a different PC, same Lan). Instead of leaving defender down, I made a custom service under 'Inbound rules' Specifying which ports to let all connections to go through the firewall (3724, 8081, 8085). Going to load up Heidi and see what I can do! I have my first day off from work in a while so it's going to be nice to sit down and grind this out

A weird interaction we've noticed is that over LAN it is possible to connect to the bnet server, but only if the world server is down. As soon as the worldserver comes online we get back to the blizzard general "You've been disconnected" messages. Does MySQL need to be port forwarded, or does the only configuration with MySQL need to be the set variables for internal/external Ip's as Brian pointed out?

MySQL doesn't need to be port forwarded, this is a security risk

That makes total sense. I believe i'm running into security issues with windows 10 currently, but I have made progress using the data setting Denks replied with. I wonder if there is a way to see why its hanging on world server login. I was thinking of running a virtual win7 machine as well if all goes south.
