How to Configure MaNGOS the World of Warcraft Emulator

Update : You can browse this site software category if you’re looking for my mangos release or my custom mangos release … btw i’d suggest you to get my mangos release first because it has been tested with WoW 2.2.3 and will be updated frequently (even easier than anything written on this old post because i already include everything you need to run your own wow private server except for mysql program of course)

This is the old version of my WoW Private Server Guide, the new version that gives you a detailed step (with images) can be found at below links :

It’s been a while since the last time i post something to my blog and that’s because i’ve been playing World of Warcraft in various private / public server, from WowScape, WowFusion, b3ckswow, etc (i’m switching various server because some of them always disconnect me a lot) …

But let’s keep that aside shall we ? because this time i’ll post a guide on how to setup your own world of warcraft private server using MaNGOS (i’m sure there are many other WoW Emulator out there, but i choose this one instead)

And as a note, currently i’m using the World of Warcraft classic version (1.12.1) and this guide might or might not be useful for you if you’re trying to setup TBC (The Burning Crusade) server

So here’s the step …

Update :

If you find this guide a little bit confusing, maybe you should try reading my new guide on how to create wow private server the easier way .. also to those who’s keep getting SQL error or want the easiest way of importing the sql, i already uploaded my mangos sdb (updated till changeset 156) and already tested to work with Mangos Rev3462

You can find all of the files required (including mangos itself) in my new post .. so be sure to check it out too ;)

Required Software :

MySQL : This is important because MaNGOS use MySQL as it’s database and currently i’m running the 5.0.xx version
MaNGOS : Without this you can not run a private server of course but do not forget to get the binary files instead of the source files unless you have Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 ++ installed and want to compile it by yourself (currently i only have MSVC 6 so there’s no way i can compile it, and the Visual Studio 2005 Express version is to large for me to download it)
Map Extractor (both of them included) :

Ad.exe : This is used to extract maps files from your World of Warcraft files
MPQE : This is used to create DBC files which is extracted from WoW games data too

SDB : This is the database used by MaNGOS and to make your private server playable of course this is a must. And the one you must download first is SDB FULL 0.6.2 including it’s hotfix and it’s update (you must register first)

Note : You can get binary release of Mangos from Mangos-Files.de

New Update :

Im sorry previously i did not upload the changeset 141 till 156 files because i thought everyone can find the changesets files easily (also i do not know if the SDB team allowed me to put that thing here) … but to make thing easier (and that’s the purpose) .. i decided to upload the changesets file here (if it’s not allowed i’ll removed it immediately) :

SDB Changeset 1.4.1 – 1.5.6 Files for Mangos Revision below or equal to 3462

You must run the sql files in order (eg 141, 142, 143, and so on) and the step to execute this sql script is described in step 5

Optional Software :

MySQL Client such as Phpmyadmin, etc (although in this example i did not tell you how to use those mysql client) so feel free to use mysql client or not

Special Note :

If you get an error message saying the maps files is outdated or anything similar to that message from the Mangos Log, that means the Ad.exe you’re using is incompatible (i have experienced this) and i’m pretty sure the Ad.exe you’re using is for the Burning Crusade client so try getting the old version a little bit
Im currently using Mangos Revision 3459, because the later revision from 3463 and above did not work for me (i have tested it) and i’m sure it was caused because i do not have TBC installed
Im currently using SDB 0.6.2 and updated till changeset 1.5.6
And as a reminder, i’m using World of Warcraft Client version 1.12.1

Let’s begin …

I assume you’ve downloaded all the required software and now as for the next step :

Note : If you did not set up password for the root account of your mysql database the default password is blank .. but in this example i’ll write username as username and password as password :P

1. Install MySQL and do not forget to enable InnoDB when prompted also check to make sure MySQL is in the Environment Variable Path … and activate the mysql service if you havent do so or if it is not started yet and you’re done installing MySQL

Note : Setting up environment variable for mysql is necessary to make thing easier, because you can execute it from any location

2. Extract the mangos program you’ve downloaded into your desired location for example, C:\WoW\Mangos

3. Open the Run command (Start -> Run) and type cmd and press enter and you’ll see command prompt window

4. Now type this in the command prompt :

cd /d C:\WoW\Mangos\sql
mysql -u username -p -v < create_mysql.sql
mysql -u username -p -v -D realmd < realmd.sql

Note : Feel free to adjust database name to your liking but in this example i only show you the easiest way of doing it

5. Extract the SDB Full 0.6.2 file, SDB 0.6.2 Hotfix, and SDB Update into desired location, for example C:\WoW\SDB and type this in the command prompt :

cd /d C:\WoW\SDB
mysql -u username -p -v -D mangos < SDB_0.6.2_FULL_DB.sql
mysql -u username -p -v -D mangos < SDB_0.6.2_FULL_DB_HotFix.sql
and continue with the update by typing the same command with the exception you must change the filename after “<” character

Note : You must update the database according to it’s version number (0.6.2 Full database equal to changelog / revision 1.4.0) so the update you must get is 1.4.1 and above .. as an addition, it might take a while before the full database imported so you can take a break while doing so

And now you’re done setting up database for MaNGOS … and feel free to delete the extracted sdb file

6. Copy the ad.exe into your WoW game directory, for example C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft. And create maps directory in there and run the ad.exe .. and yet another break time :) .. and when this process finished move the maps directory into your desired location, for example C:\WoW\data\maps

7. Now you’ll need to copy MPQE you’ve downloaded earlier into WoW games data directory, for example C:\Program files\World of Warcraft\Data. And now open command prompt again and type this :

cd /d C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data
MPQE /p dbc.MPQ DBFilesClient\*.dbc

You’ll see another directory created called MPQOUT inside the data directory. Now go open that directory and rename the DBFilesClient directory to DBC, and move it into C:\WoW\Data\DBC for example

Congratulation, now you’ve finished setting up the data required for mangos

8. Now for the last step you’ll need to open the mangosd.conf inside the mangos directory and edit below lines :

Change the DataDir = “@MANGOSD_DATA@” into your data location inside the quotes, in this example it would be like this “C:\WoW\data”

Now you’ve finished configuring Mangos and it’s database completely, as for the next step .. try running the mangosd.exe and realmd.exe and see if you can run it without problem or not .. if there’s no problem you can go to the next step (you do not need to close the realmd process and mangosd process)

9. Go to your World of Warcraft game directory and open the realmlist.wtf file using notepad or other text editor program .. and edit it like below :

set realmlist 127.0.0.1

Now you’ve finished configuring WoW to used your mangos server

10. Now you can connect to your own server, if you want to create new user account you can do so by typing create username password from the mangosd window (it’ll create normal user account). But if you want to create GM account you can do so by typing this from normal command line (type cmd in the run command) and type below lines :

mysql -u username -p
USE `realmd`;
INSERT INTO `account` VALUES (NULL, 'username', 'password', '3', NULL, NULL, NULL, '', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, '0', '127.0.0.1', '0', '0', '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '0');
quit

To get commands for your GM account, you can type : .commands at the chat window inside the game

That’s it you’re finished configuring Mangos and WoW to be played locally :) and here’s some screenshot (please don’t laugh on my equipment because i dont know anything about good items or equipment in WoW and that’s why i choose to play it locally first to learn about WoW) :)

# Leonidas

well you need mysql 5 (currently the latest stable now), mangos and sdb .. thats it

as for mangos and sdb, latest version is not always good especially in this case (unless you know what you’re doing)

so instead of getting the latest version of mangos, try checking if the mangos version you’re going to use already supported by sdb

btw could you tell me which mangos revision you’re using ? did you get it from torrent or the official site of mangos (previously someone using wow mangos from torrent and having the same problem like you)

but when i told him to switch to official mangos release and download the compatible SDB (official) it works just fine

Druzz said Jun 19, 2007 at 4:49 pm

Thanks Reaper, but its still stuck in a loop.
I re-imported everything, server log does not show anything out of order.

apart from this “Quest 3647 has `RequiredSkill` = 20219 but skill 20219 doesn’t exist, quest can’t be done.”

used loopback address and connects disconnects instantly.
put dhcp address for server in clients realmlist.wtf and still gets stuck in loop with or without hosts file edit

any ideas if there is something else in the DB I can change? as it appears the server is broadcasting the game just failing to write/access to the DB to create chars
I know next to nothing about c++ and DB’s so I am probablys very very wrong

Reaper-X said Jun 18, 2007 at 5:47 pm

# Druzz

if you experience realm loop, there’re few thing you should take a look at first :

1. Check the realmd.realmlist (realmd database under realmlist table) and make sure you’re using the same ip address there

2. If you’re not using loopback address (try stick to loopback first), then you need to set your ip address into the Windows hosts file

3. or try reimporting everything (mysql) and see if there’s something strange came in your server.log

# tobi

Well you can follow this guide although if you’re going to create tbc server you need to make few adjustments :)

Hey Reaper,
I’m having a bit of a problem getting this server up.
when it comes to logging in (using internal loopback address) I get connecting and disconnected stright away.
If I use the DHCP assinged address for the server I get a little further; it prompts me with the reallist when selecting the realm it keeps looping saying logging into server and then displaying realm list again.

Did you come accross anything like this setting this up?

did you specify the username ? (use root)

# BIGBOS

Realmd / mangosd process closed itself automatically could be caused by :

- Cant connect to database / mysql server (you must configure mangos to use mysql)

- incorrect configuration (basically this is already explained why mangos process close itself) :P

Hahaha … dont worry about it (and sorry for late reply) … btw if you get invalid game or corrupt when trying to connect to your wow tbc server make sure your WoW TBC Client is version 2.0.12 (if you try to connect to TBC server using Classic client you’ll get that message, and i’ve tried this)

No One In Particular said Jun 5, 2007 at 10:27 pm

arg, lol sry to be anoying, i think im nearly done… im still trying to get it to work for TBC im kind of doing what i can with random files that i find from places and puting them together. first i make the databases wid the create_mysql.sql in the sql file in the mangos folder. then i put the SDB_0.6.4_FULL.sql into the mangos database using command prompt.

Then i add the mangos.sql file from the sql file in the mangos directory, into the mangos database using command prompt again. and then i put the realmd.sql into the realmd database and then the rev170.sql from the forum into the mangos database.
then i make a character and then go into the game. it then says that my coppy cant be validated. i took your advice from way above and then i tried it with all the TBC updates. so im not sure if it is that. I guess the problem is me gettin the files from all over the net or sumthing. do u have any ideas how 2 fix, i have gone thru making the mysql servers a few times but using the above method so it wasnt a typo.

lol i promice that this will be my last question. tyvm for all of ur help

Lol … no you dont need to worry about reward lol

btw to get the latest mangos compiled for win32 try checking the mangos website under install and config (or something since i dont remember the exact forum name)

as for updated database, you can get full Database dump (0.6.4 combined with latest changeset from SDB website) ;)

No One In Particular said Jun 4, 2007 at 11:24 pm

Lol sry me again,
I’v been working on my server but now im confused, I still have all the old files from the normal WoW server on my comp but i have dumped them all from the mysql server. i have the “SDB_0.6.4_FULL.sql” file, its about 130MB. The things i cant find is the updated versions of the files you gave in the “CompleteSDB156-Mangos3462.rar”. do i still need them for the Mangos3463?

Actually its not that hard, but thats depend :)

Hey,
I managed to get the server running fine and im playing the game. The only problem is that it is extreemly buggy while im playing it. The main bugs im finding is that stuff keeps on falling through the floor (im guessing to 0 altitude or sumthing cos they seem to be the same level) the other problem is that any pet i get is realy glitchy (eg never moves) also quite a few quests cant be completed for sum reason.
Is this normal for private servers?
Thanks again Reaper-X lol this is the first time I have played WoW in English cos in China we get locked out of all the English worlds.

p.s. Sorry about the long posts but dus any1 kno if it is hard to play burning crusade on mangos and if so then how?
Many thanks

We’ve got maNGOS set up and we can log into the server.

We’ve made a GM account with the software and successfully logged in.

We can’t type any GM commands into the window. We type them into the chat window and enter it, but nothing happens. There is no error message or anything.

We want to be able to run our own private server being level whatever with anything we want, but GM accounts don’t work!

PLEASE email me with any information you can give us!!

You just need to change the realmlist table in realmd database to use your public ip / dynamic dns address

and then configure the wow to use it ;)

# Sold Out (dunno why but i always laugh when typing your nick) :P

Ah .. try setting the IP address into your public IP. To see your public ip address, you can use various website that offer ip detection such as whatismyip.com

I’m also running the server on the same computer

If you run the server on the same computer, you must edit your windows HOSTS file to use your lan address (not ip address displayed on whatismyip.com)

if you want to a detailed step on how to edit host file try searching this post or my other wow post for HOSTS file (use your browser search function) :)

Do I only need SDB for Burning Crusade?
Because I’m not using TBC for my private server.
If that’s the case I have another problem (I thought it was SDB related)

If you dont use TBC client (WoW Classic Client), you must use the files listed in my other wow post :)

or if you prefer to download from official site make sure you’re downloading :

- Mangos revision below 3463
- SDB 0.6.2 Updated to changeset 1.5.6

thats it
