Legion 7.3.5 Trying to set up a private server for testing

[sinnersanjay]

Hi, I am trying to set up a Legion private server on my home lab for testing purpose. I am currently playing on Felsong but people are unhappy with the server, mostly due to unsolved bugs and issues pending since years.

I want to help in my spare time by working on some known issues. I had setup a Lich King private server for my friends long ago and that was fun. I am however having issues with Legion. Mainly, the map extractor. Gemini brought me to this forum, I am now registered and have to go through some loops before I can download the repack.

I just wanted to check with the community if some one has been able to replicate what I am trying to do? I will be testing the private server with few close friends and have some fun with it while fixing stuff.

Thank you

Hi, quick update, I tried compiling data on my windows system. I managed to compile the extractors, however the extractors are unable to read any data.

Getting this error when running mapextractor.exe

Checked ChatGPT and Gemini, it seems I have some data files and a .build.info file missing. Tried downloading the game client from different servers (Felsong, Firestorm, Uwow), tried different launchers but could not find those missing files.

Another update, I am also trying the set up on my Oracle Cloud VM, problem is that the architecture is ARM (Free tier provides 4 vCpu and 24 GB Ram), I am trying to recompile it for ARM architecture, the build has reached around 20% after fixing few C++ scripts, lets hope I can get it to work.
