Configuring Mangos for TBC Server or WoW Classic Server - Setting up Private WoW Server

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)

Or you can also look at the recent software section located at the footer section of this website to see the new update to my mangos release :)

This is the second part of the Creating your own World of Warcraft Server using Mangos

  1. The First part is all about Installing and Configuring MySQL on your Windows Machine
  2. The Second part is about Configuring the WoW Mangos itself
  3. The Third part is all about Setting up Private WOW Server for Lan Party
  4. The Fourth part is all about Installing and Setting up Apache Webserver with PHP

Okay and before i start i’d like to warn you first especially to those who’s using Dial Up Connection because there are a lot of images used here and the previous mysql installation guide although i’ve optimized it further

Without further ado … here’s the guide ;)

Requirements :

If you’re planning on creating :

The Burning Crusade Server :

Okay i've decided to upload my own compiled mangos to make thing easier, for more info see this new post

Btw ... the installing mysql part is still the same ... so if you need information on how to install mysql refer to the part 1

Note : Since most people who compiled Mangos for Win32 already included DBC and Map Extractor in their release you should use that one first. And unfortunately i can not give direct link to the files so you must try it by yourself and judge which version is the best for you :)

Btw some people prefer (especially to those who’s using high speed internet access – not me of course –) to download the extracted maps and dbc from somewhere rather than extracting it directly so if you are using the same high speed connection you might like to use this option

World of Warcraft Classic Server :

  1. Compiled Mangos Revision 3462 for Win32 / Windows by Maxis
  2. Compatible SDB Full Dump for Mangos 3462 with Changesets 156
  3. Compatible Map and DBC Extractor

That’s it … unfortunately since it is using the old mangos revision you’ll notice more bugs compared to latest / newest version for TBC … and since i dont have TBC Client installed, i can only give you a how to guide to configure your mangos server based on my experience when doing remote assistance to someone who asked for help via MSN

Btw if you’re going to create WoW Classic server you can use my extracted DBC Files

Side Note : Basically since there are no differences on creating WoW TBC Server and WoW Classic Server the only thing you should change is just the filename … don’t worry if you don’t understand what i'm talking about right now, soon you’ll know about it :)

Creating Directory Structure :

Okay i assume you’ve finished downloading all the required stuff and now its the time to configure your mangos. But before that you need to extract the required files first into your harddrive and organize it before starting to configure mangos (although this step optional but i think organized directory structure looks better but that is just my own opinion)

Look at the image below for a good explanation about this :

Wow server directory structure

  1. The daemon directory is where you should extract the mangos program itself
  2. The data directory is where you should put the extracted maps and dbc folder (soon you’ll know about this process)
  3. The SDB is just a temporary directory to be used when importing the SQL Files

Extracting Maps and DBC Files from World of Warcraft Game :

Now this is when the ad.exe and dbc extractor came. But first we are going to use the ad.exe. And here’s the step

  1. Copy the ad.exe into your WoW Game directory (usually C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft)
  2. Create folder called maps
  3. Run the ad.exe and wait until its finished
  4. Move the maps folder into C:\WoW\data (if you’re using the same directory structure like me)

Extracting maps

After you’ve finished extracting maps now it is the time you use DBC Extractor … and here’s the step to use it

  1. Extract the MPQE.exe (and it’s dll if available) into your WoW Game Data directory (C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data)
  2. Create shortcut to the MPQE, right click on it and choose properties and adjust it’s target into "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\MPQE.exe" /p dbc.MPQ DBFilesClient\*.dbc
  3. Run the shortcut and wait until it finished
  4. Rename the DBFilesClient folder into DBC
  5. Move the DBC folder into C:\WoW\data (if you’re using the same directory structure like me)

If you want a more detailed explanation look at the screenshot below

Creating Shortcut

and then the shortcut properties

Properties of Shortcut to DBC Extractor

Importing the SDB Files :

Okay we have finished extracting the maps and dbc files required for mangos, now we need to import the database first before you can run mangos program

and here’s the summary on how it done :

If you’re going to create WoW Classic Server

  1. Extract the SQL files from my mangos sql dump into C:\WoW\SDB (if you follow my directory structure)
  2. Open Command Prompt
  3. Run the sql query from the command prompt (look image below for an example on how to use the query)

Command to use to import the mangos sql files

and here’s what it’ll looks like when it’s finished

SQL Import Process Finished

Note : Because some people prefer to see the importing process (some say it’s like Matrix .. lol), i decided to use -v (verbose) switch but if you prefer not to see it you can safely remove the -v switch

If you’re going to create TBC Server

Here’s the summary on how it’s done :

  1. Extract the SDB Full Dump for Mangos Revision 3900 into C:\WoW\SDB
  2. Extract the Mangos Program / Archive into C:\WoW\Daemon\Mangos
  3. Go into C:\WoW\Daemon\Mangos\SQL
  4. Copy the create_mysql.sql and realmd.sql into C:\WoW\SDB
  5. Open the Command Prompt
  6. Execute the same query as above but adjust the filename first

An example on how to execute the query is like below (you must do this in order) and using the same path as the above image

  1. mysql -u root -p -v < create_mysql.sql
  2. mysql -u root -p -v -D realmd < realmd.sql
  3. mysql -u root -p -v -D mangos < the_filename_used_on_sql_dump_from_e_turray.sql

And that’s it you’re finished importing the database required :)

Editing Mangos Configuration :

You’ve finished extracting maps, dbc and already imported the database required but now what else ? of course you need to edit the mangosd.conf file itself

Now here’s the summary on how it is done :

  1. Go into C:\WoW\Daemon\Mangos
  2. Open the mangosd.conf using wordpad (you can not edit it using notepad, because it is using Unix Line Break)
  3. Change the datadir into C:\WoW\data
  4. Save it

Now here’s some screenshot of the mangos configuration file editing process :

Editing mangosd.conf

Inside mangosd.conf

Make sure everything is working as it should :

Now you’ve done almost everyting required to make your own wow private server … now before started playing it you need to make sure that everything is okay before starting to connect to your own server

Here’s how it is done :

  1. Run the realmd.exe (C:\WoW\daemon\mangos\realmd.exe)
  2. Run the mangosd.exe (C:\WoW\daemon\mangos\mangosd.exe)
  3. See if one of the above process close itself automatically or not. If one of the process close itself automatically after launched that means there’s something wrong with your configuration try restarting the configuring process from the beginning

And now here’s the screenshot if your mangosd and realmd process is working as it should :

Realmd process launched

Mangosd process launched

The last step for configuring mangos and wow, editing the Realmlist used by WoW to connect :

After everything is okay, now there’s one more thing left for you to do … which is editing the realmlist.wtf file inside your WoW Game directory (C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\realmlist.wtf) using your favorite text editor. You can use notepad or wordpad to do this

The default realmlist.wtf file should be like this :

set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com

and then change it into

set realmlist 127.0.0.1

Creating Test Account for yourself :

Okay now you’ve created and set up everything but there’s still one more thing left and that is creating a test account with normal player status for yourself. And this process is really simple actually all you have to do is just typing this on the mangosd window (above image)

create desired_username desired_password

Okay that’s it you just created a test account that can be used to connect to your own wow server. If you get error message and / or stuck at realm loop i'm sure there’s something wrong with your configuration or you’re not using compatible mangos / wow client

That’s all for this part … stay tune for the next part ;)

As a side note, this is the first time i'm using lots of images on my guides and i'm looking forward to your opinion about this (tell me if you like it this way or would you prefer text with few screenshot or images) :)


Update :

To those who’s still having problem with Mangos like finding the correct mangos version,etc. I’ve decided to upload my own compiled Mangos Revision 4431 with Scriptdev2 241, and also included DBC Extractor (Thanks to XLayer for his DBC Extractor) and VMaps Extractor. And also mirrored the SDB 0.7.3 with Changesets 208 from http://opensvn.csie.org/NewSDB

And here’s the file :

  • Mangos 4431 with ScriptDev2 124
  • SDB 0.7.3 with Changesets 208

Another Update : See my new post about new Mangos 4488 Update with Silvermoon Database ... and tested with WoW 2.1.3 Client ... just look at the screenshot below

All you have to do (i assume you’ve completed all of the steps involving mysql installation, and also already extract the DBC and VMaps files) is just :

1. Import / Overwrite the database with this new SDB (if you want the easiest way to start all over again from the Importing SDB step, you can execute the create-database.sql inside my Mangos 4431 archive (in reaper-sql directory) using this command :

mysql -u root -p < create-database.sql

mysql -u root -p -D mangos < SDB_0.7.3_Changeset_208_Rev1.sql

mysql -u root -p -D mangos < reaper4431.sql

Note : Make sure you’re in the same directory as the create-database.sql and the SDB_0.7.3.sql when executing that command

2. And then the next step is, importing the sql files inside the scriptdev2-sql directory (2 files) like below example (must be in order) :

mysql -u root -p -D mangos < scriptdev_full.sql

mysql -u root -p -D mangos < scriptdev_additional_req.sql

And you’re done :)

Perhaps the above might sound confusing for some people, so if you need help just leave comment here

Here's a screenshot taken using Mangos 4488 Scriptdev2 134

Damn i'm looks great

Mangosd.exe and realmd.exe load without errors, but when i open my WoW and try to connect to it any account (the ones that i created or given ones) it goes through everything till "connected" waits there 30 secs and gives me "disconnected" ... mangosd and realmd don't show me any mistakes so i don't know what to do. Help me if you can.

    But now, the MPQE part doesn't work, i put the MPQE.exe in the Data folder of WoW (along with the .dll) and make a shortcut and so on, but when i run the shortcut it just says "dbc.mpq not found".
    Hope you can help here.

    # Poss

    Could you tell me which database version you're using ? also did you get that error message when importing the Mangos SDB file or something else

    # Mikeh

    You can change it from the dabatase using this command :

    1. mysql -u root -p
    2. use realmd
    3. update `realmlist` set `name` = 'My Server' where `id` = 1;
    4. quit

    # Cara

    I've tried reproducing that error message by running the same query and i found nothing because it works just fine

    could you tell me which mysql version you're using ?

    or you can also try reimporting the realmd sql (drop the previous table first but please note, you're going to lose the previous data)

    I'm using MySQL server v.5.0.41, and I still can't get that to work, but I found another way,

    from the mangos command line screen, you can type

    setgm accountname 3

    seems simpler to me and it worked like a charm....

    # Elliot

    i believe that error message was caused because you're using incorrect root password so the only solution is you must use the correct root password

    and about the .exe file. Which version you're using ? and where did you get it ?

    # Ryan

    I just double checked every link and i cant find the broken link you've mentioned ? perhaps its just temporary downtime

    # David

    From your comments, i can see that you're trying to run the ad.exe in / under the maps folder, try moving the ad.exe from the maps folder into the root directory of your world of warcraft installation

    for example

    D:\program files\world of warcraft\ad.exe

    but don't forget that you must already created the

    D:\program files\world of warcraft\maps

    directory ;)

    When i run the MPQE shortcut, I don't notice anything happen. Where does the DBFilesClient folder come from? Is this supposed to be extracted by running the MPQE.exe? I can't seem to locate this folder, unless im missing something.

    Any help would be nice, thanks :)

    I am also getting the error that dbc.mpq is not found at the Step to use MPQE.EXE.

    I think the problem is I am trying to do this with the WoW 2.1.0 client, Your guide does not say which version to use but everywhere else I look the latest version to use is 2.0.12 ONLY.

    Please let us know.

    The guide is ONLY for 2.0.12

    Which mangos and sdb revision and you're using ?

    # Elliot

    To make sure you're using the correct password, try typing this from the command line :

    mysql -u root -p

    and then enter your password

    if you're using the correct password you'll get this message

    copied the map, the .sql files I found were create_mysql.sql, realmd.sql and mangos.sql. those went fine...

    problem is I run mangosd.exe and it crashes, I get "ERROR:... table is empty!" errors.

    Check this:

    DBC files

    Client database files store various things like area names. They have a uniform structure, where they can include a collection of data records having data fields of various types. The original files are found in dbc.mpq. The newest ones are in patch.mpq as

    DBFilesClient\*.dbc

    Since (I guess) Burning Crusade, the *.dbc files are now in the "World of Warcraft Folder\Data\{local}\" directory.

    Original files are in the base-{local}.MPQ. Newest are in patch-{local} files.

    For english client, {local} is enGB, for french it's in frFR, German in deDE, etc.

    ok I found the issue,

    in Part 1 you tell it to not allow user 'root' to be used remotely. then when you configure the .conf files you are using the login for 'root'

    you will need to make a new login, give it access to the realmd and mangos databases and use that username/password in order for it to work remotely.

    you will need to make a new login, give it access to the realmd and mangos databases and use that username/password in order for it to work remotely.

    yes ... actually if you import the realmd sql files from mangos, you already created new account to be used specifically on mangos database and realmd database

    as an addition, if you run the mysql server on the same computer you dont need to give remote access beside most people prefer to use database (including various website) on localhost for security purpose :)

    I found to resolve this I had to move the MPQE.EXE into the /data/enUS/ folder and used the command

    “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS\MPQE.exe” /p locale-enUS.MPQ DBFilesClient\*.dbc

    because the dbc.MPQ file does not exist and it was renamed/merged with locale-enUS in the C:\program files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS folder.

    I believe you didnt imported the mangos database dump correctly :) because mangos can't find the character table in the mangos database (mysql)

    # Chrisb

    Perhaps it is possible, but i havent tried it yet. But if you know about the registry used by WoW im sure that will do the trick (btw i always use this because i often reinstalling windows from clean ghost image), and to make the game installed previously in another drive worked with the clean install of windows, i just need to reimport the registry keys used by the game

    Does the classical version REQUIRE you to have v1.12.x or does it matter?(as long as it's NOT TBC?)

    [THIS IS FOR CLASSIC SETUP]

    When I go to change to Shortcut to MPQE's target to: “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\MPQE.exe” /p dbc.MPQ DBFilesClient\*.dbc

    it says "The name "C:\Program' specified in the target box is not valid..."
    What am I doing wrong?>

    Ok, for those having problems with MPQE, go to google and look up WINMPQ. Use this to open the enUS versions of the patchs. Start with locale-enUS, extract those files, then extract the ones from patch-enUS and extract to the same folder as the locale and then do the same with patch-enUS-2. If you do it in that order, all the database items should be correct.

    Err, i meant to post this in my last comment, but i've been getting an error whenever i check anything that has to do with character stats. So like, when i hit C in game to check equipment it disconnects me. it says something about an access violation. Same happens with honor and reputation.

    Small problem, I got my server working fine except the HTTP/PHP thing.

    I cannot create any new accounts. I type "create test new" and I get this: User test with password new NOT created (probably sql file format was updated).

    I have SQLyog and managed to log on to the database in question. There still isn't a user named test but I have noticed that there isn't a field in the table for password, unless is the one I have named "I" because it is encrypted.

    Is there something in my realmd that should be there but isnt?

    Edit: I did some experiements, I can change the GM Level (Mangos), delete accounts (Mangos), and add accounts (SQLyog, no password). I still cannot create them within Mangos. I think the password field is missing, but I dont know the how the field is setup for it. Can someone look at their realmd and tell me the setting for the table?

    I've gotten as far as checking mangosd.exe and realmd.exe files in your "Making sure everythign is working" section. They both stay open for maybe 1 second, then they close by themselves. Then two log files open up and say the following:

    server log says -

    2007-07-15 22:23:20 ERROR:Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061)

    2007-07-15 22:23:20 ERROR:Cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos

    realmd log says -

    And that's about as far as I can get. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    . . . to answer my own questions, my problems with the MySql error 10061 seemed to stem from ports set by MySql and Mangos/Reaper not coordinating. I forwarded 3306 in my router settings for MySql, and Mangos/Reaper configs are set to port 3307 (which the my.ini file of MySql says it is "listening for"). After coordinated all of this, I now have both realmd.exe and mangosd.exe humming along and it matches the images that Reaper has posted.

    So for anybody else who hits the MySql 10061 error, it seems to be a communication issue between MySql and Mangos.

    Hey, my friend recently got his MaNGOS server up and running the other day. However, when playing the game, it seems that the base character stats are very low for level 70 characters. I noticed when going from level 60 to 70 you don't get the correct amount of health. For instance, on a Tauren warrior you get like 100 health from 61-62. When in game it's around 200 or so. My base health at 70 was only like 3k. In my real subscription game, my base health at 61 is 3k. Do the clients need to have 2.0.12 only installed. Is this due to the fact that I have 2.1.3 along with everyone else on the server.

    Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Hey J
    the reason you're having that problem is this:
    basically, you entered your data one text-box too low. Make sure you're putting those parameters into the "Target" textbox and not the one below it.

    hey
    thanks for creating this guide, it's awesome but you forgot one thing;

    when changing the mangosd.CONF and realmd.CONF you also have to change the following:

    For mangosd.conf:
    LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;YOURMYSQLPASSWORD;realmd"
    WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;YOURMYSQLPASSWORD;mangos"

    for realmd.conf:
    LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;YOURMYSQLPASSWORD;realmd; "

    i didnt change this at first and thus it didnt work for me but now it does

    Hey I need help. I got a server working fine (per mangos logs) but for the life of me cannot get a client to connect properly. i get through authenticating to an error that it cant tell which version i have. i see the attempt to connect in the sql logs although it just says attempting to connect. my account registration page also works with it. just no client software. =(

    Oi, I still have a problem though; everything's working fine, and then I mean everything, until I login; it gaves me the "Unable to validate game version" error. Any way to solve this? I'm using the 2.0.12 patch and I believe that's required right?

    the Can not validate game version is because your sdb and/or mangos version dont mesh with the game version, one i can tell you for sure works is version 4096 for version 2.1.2 you can get both mangos and sdb versions for links above

    I am looking at that version of Mangos, but I don't see a "sql" folder in there that has a create_mysql.sql file and realmd.sql file that you're suppose to copy over into the other SDB folder that you've created. (i'm still following reaper's guide as best as i can).

    Is there a way to bypass that step?

    And are you setting your TBC server to version 2.1.2?

    And yes, my version is 2.1.2

    Maybe you have the incorrect DBC files, if you're using my mangos version and SDB, then here are the DBC files for 2.1.2: http://rapidshare.com/files/38852051/DBCFiles2.1.2.rar
    The link to the correct mangos with SQL folder is http://rapidshare.com/files/42204097/MaNGOSRev4067_ScriptDev2Rev69.rar

    i'll try those DBC files you linked, too, as soon as i'm able to download from that site again (i guess there's a download limit to those without accounts, ha ha).

    I'd either update your game version to 2.1.2 or download a Mangos that is compatible with 2.0.12 - you'll also need to download SDB + DBC files that are compatible with 2.0.12

    my advice for all is to set up a 2.1.2 server, and grab those three files (Mangos 4067, SDB dump 4067, and the DBC files for 2.1.2), all with links posted by Valery above. you can find a map extracter on the internet for 2.1.3 which worked fine for me. take all of that and follow this guide and it will work w/out a hitch.

    i encountered so many problems trying to set up a 2.1.3 simply because there were lots of incompatibility issues with different mangos versions and sdb dumps. but Reaper set up this guide for you, and Valery linked all the files you need (minus the map extractor). The version you'll be running is just a hair under the current 2.1.3.

    just my advice

    Yea, I've done everything exactly the way it was to be done, word for word. The maps and DBC folders are both in the data folder inside my own created WoW folder that is right under my C:\ drives nose.

    The links you just posted are the exact things I used to do the process.

    Now lets see... I have 4423 items that were extracted to my C:\WOW\Data/maps folder. Does that number look wrong? I extracted twice, both came out that way.

    0004331.map’ is the exact same one that Adsoe's setup was saying it couldn't find and it seems to be the same thing for Terox, but written differently with .vmdir. So....guffah!!!

    You usually get this error when you're using the wrong WoW patch with the wrong version of Mangos/DBC/SDB. At least, that's what happened to me..

    Everything has worked so far in the server setup and i can run realmd.exe with no errors. i run mangosd.exe and it loads everything fine. However, when i try to create a test character i get a microsoft error report screen and then mangosd quits.

    Any suggestions?

    Alright, it seems that the server is working - mangosd.exe and realmd.exe both work fine. I can run mangosd.exe and create a new account but when I try to log into wow it just says 'unable to connect'. I set the server up to be TBC i'm using all the files that Valery told us to download for TBC. Also I can't figure out how to make a gm account. I looked at Reaper-x's old guide and did everything he says to do but after I enter:

    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');

    the input line just changes to "> and anything I type does nothing. I don't know if this means I created the account but I doubt it.
    -Your help is much appreciated :)

    I'm interested in that too. If anyone tried working with a 2.1.3 working Mangos version and the corosponding files and you got it to work, please post your links. I tried a mangos version that was supposed to work with 2.1.3, but it didn't. However, I also didn't really know what I was doing at the time and I do now....so yea. I might try it again, but if you got something like Mangos 4134 (or whatever) to work, I beg you to tell me : )

    terox, if you did the links that valery set up its for 2.1.2 and if your running 2.1.3 it will not work you need diffrent version of mangos (or update the one you have) and new sdb at least 4119 to get 2.1.3 to work, mine is working but has some weird problems but forthe most part works just fine, if you like ill see if i can get links to all the stuff for 2.1.3 and repost later.
    Maker, if your doing tbc you need to change the dbc.mpq to expansion.mpq
    also make sure when you setgm that you put a number behind your name 3-6 is the level 6 is the highest with abilities to edit in game npc's

    Problems with my server (using Mangos 4067 and the respective files) v. 2.1.2:

    Mobs will sometimes aggro and fall through the world or rise upwards. Especially in instances.
    Many GM commands do not work, such as the .kill or .learnskill commands. What files do the commands come from?
    The scale of some bosses is off and none of the bosses in the entire world use their special attacks (e.g. various phases in the fight do not trigger).

    Anyone else having these problems? Anyone fixed them?

    hey ok i worked all day on this. =P and everything is working find except for the MPQE.exe thing.

    when i run it a command prompt pops up, then goes away really fast. i dont even have time to read what its saying. this happened to me before for another game when i was trying to install it i think. but i re-downloaded it and that works fine
    -but thats gettign off subject.

    and because i cant run MPQE.exe, and extract the DBC files, i get error messages saying that things aren't installed; im pretty sure that this is the only thing that isnt working =/

    here are the command prompts when i run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe:

    And i get this (not every) but the majority of the time when i run mangosd.exe

    ill try downloading a different DBC extractor =/ ive been looking for one for hours. but if u could help me out id greatly appriciate it

    @ Draco,

    Mine is doing the same thing. My server is set up on one of my computers, and the mangos and realmd exe files run just fine. I can create accounts, etc. I forwarded ports 3724, 8085 and 3306 (for my mysql) to the server computer.

    And TBC game is installed onto another computer. I can log in and see my server on the list, but when I click to connect to it, I see the window saying "Logging into server," but then a few seconds later it loops me back to the server list screen. . . . and I can click my server only to be brought back to that same screen. . .

    Anybody have a resolution to this?

    Draco,

    I have a 2.1.2 server set up on two different computers, and I was having this realm list looping on it. I read a guide on how to remedy it on another part of this Reaper-X guide, by a guy named PepsiG. It involved using SQLyog, and it was a simple process. In the end, it got rid of my looping, and I was able to log in. . . . funny how it only happened to one of my two computers . . . *scratches head*

    anyhow, I'll go back and search for the link, and I'll post it.

    I have the same problem and I'm trying to find a working SDB and Mangos combination that will fix it...however, everyone seems to be saying that everything for all of the versions of SDB and Mangos work like a dream with little errors. However, when you can't do an instance because the mobs fly off or the bosses fail to trigger events/phases/specials, it makes for a very lame game that is unplayable in my opinion.

    Anyway, I'm trying to find something that works. If anyone does before me, please post the links. Thanks.

    Yea mine does it when GM mode is on too. And GM mode is when you can do almost anything, Spamike (although many of the commands don't seem to work). You grant GM powers to players or yourself by entering the mangos command prompt and typing setgm AccountName 2 (or 3 is admin). Though I did try 2 for my friend and he couldn't execute commands so maybe 3 is GM and 4 is admin even though the setgm command lists only the values 0-3.

    Anyway, this is great, dont get me wrong. I appreciate the private server stuff, but it is disappointing at the moment. I know there must be working Mangos and SDB's out there with working instances or the famous ones wouldnt be so famous....right???

    I suggest that those of you who are disappointed with the versions you've downloaded try different combinations. If we all do, surely someone will find a working one...unless it doesnt exist lol.

    i ment to say that the version of 2.0.8 instances was working the NPC's wasn't flying around or disapearing the only thing that wasn't working was the misions for the two new races and the outworld the rest was fine so what i'm saying is I know it is out there whe just need to find it.

    Well, I might just set up an Antrix server. I know most private servers use Antrix, and everything just works better with it. It's more updated aswell and Black Temple works, I believe.
    In Mangos BT doesn't work (ofcourse there's a way to change that, dunno how though)....

    Ok, for anyone that is having trouble extracting DBC files i have found that if you open the data folder, then open your enUS or enGB folder and yor the locale-enUS.mpq or locale-enUS.mpq, the both contain DBC Files that you can use, also check the patches.

    thanks for the help if you guy's still have problems with the mobs disapearing into the ceiling you need to ge vmaps the newest one on the mangos projects website and run it in your data directory. after that change the following lines in your mangos config file
    vmap.enableLOS = 0
    vmap.enableHeight = 0
    to the following
    vmap.enableLOS = 1
    vmap.enableHeight = 1
    you will vind it on the botom of mangos rev4067
    config file.
    thank again for your help my mangos is working perfectly.

    that worked. i ran the utility during lunch today, and i'm talking to a guy on my server right now. he says all is well.

    i've noticed a few spells that aren't working properly. the mage's Frostbolt spell doesn't apply the "chill" effect to mobs. also, the paladin's divine illumination does not refund mana when crit-heal. . . . and divine favor does not crit the healing spells, but it DOES crit the holy shock spell.

    if you run across a fix for that, please post here. thanks again, draco.

    Hey guys, if any of you were wondering how to make a server for 2.1.3 (which I have for a long time) I finally found a pack.

    http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3751051/WoW_Private_server_2.1.3_(Mangos)_Super_easy___n00b_edition.

    It's a torrent that you download and it has everything you need in it and it works pretty good.

    Are you installing a new server of mangos did you have a previous mangos running if so you need to uninstall mysql delete the mysql in program files and do it all over vollowing reaper x guid.
    when it comes to sdb instalation install only the
    create_mysql.sql
    realmd.sql
    mangos.sql
    SDBFull-202-4067.sql
    in this order then it wount give you a error.

    Hi, I used another guide in general on http://www.hsforum.net/index.php?&showtopic=18698 but I got problems getting my friends to join through hamachi. They can connect and log on the accounts i created for them, but they cannot make a character, instead the "realm loop of death". I can play on my server, but they cant. I'm currently running the latest version of TomCh's 4.0 pack and the latest patch version of tbc. As I stated above, it works great for me, but my friends get the loop. They can log in and get assigned to the mangos server but get looped from there. This server is ment for my friends only through hamachi(no Lan party). What I havent been able to do is configure the mysql correctly.. more like not at all really.. ok.. to sum it up alittle.. my friends change their realmlist to my ip.. ok.. works cuz they can logon but cant do more... my realmd and mangosd are both set to 127.0.0.1 as stated in a post(works for me alone with my hamachi ip aswell ofc).. Heres another thing I dont get.. the port is set too 3306 for wow.. but when I use the MySql Server 5.0 Instance Config Wizard 1.0.8 I get asked something another somthin is runnong on port 3306.. do you want to continue.. should I? What confuses me alittle is that the other guide is written also for how to use hamachi but I cant get it to work it seemed like it was easier to get help here.

    Here is another post I found with the exact problem:

    If I run the server on MY computer and set everything to 127.0.0.1(If I'm running it) or my IP (***.***.*.***) on the local network... I can login and use my characters just fine, but others get the realmlist loop. But if I set the server to a computer where someone else is running the server, I get a realmlist loop...

    Can someone help me out here. I read the other posts where people could make it work just fine on the LAN, but I don't believe it's the same problem.

    I'd prefer not to dial in ever single time I wanted to try and use WoW with hamachi. Not to mention the latency up/down between 2 computers over 1 little connection.

    /////////////////

    Answer:

    I think I see the problem... You have to make sure all of your .conf files have your IP AND that you have changed the address in your realmd/realmlist DB in Navicat to your IP.

    //////////////

    Ok.. he is now saying the exact opposite of what you said. To change the 2 conf files into having ur ip. I changed them.. no difference..

    but the last part is what I think I have done wrong or havent done at all.. dont understand what he meens exactly...

    Also.. last.. I have seen many posts like mine(alittle shorter maybe lol :P) so I see that I'm not the only one not managing to make this work.. plz plz plz help =)

    Thanks for your time =)

    the stesp for extracting a map is
    1.copy the ad.exe file to your wow directory
    2.create a directory/file called maps in your wow folder.
    3.double click on your ad.exe (it will extract your maps to the folder.
    4. copy the maps folder to the C:\WOW\DATA\ folder ( or whatever your directory structure is.
    make sure you have the newest ad.extractor you

    that error message was caused because you didn't import the sql file properly, and of course that means you need to reimport the sql files again :)

    Where are you all finding all these SDB Full dumps? I go to the Silver Database Community, but the SDB files I see aren't anywhere near 40+ mb downloads. I don't think they include mobs, quests, things like that.

    Are you all getting them somewhere else? Or making them yourself? Because I would like to find a SDB Full dump that is compatible with the most current version(s) of Mangos. 4067 is starting to lose distance to the current version of Mangos, which is up to 4222 - and 4222 is even compatible with 2.1.3 TBC.

    actually the error message already said it all

    Wrong client version DBC file?

    the only solution of course is getting the new DBC Extractor from mangos forum

    as for the link to Mangos R3900, you can get it from the Compiled Mangos for Win32 (requirement section of this post)

    ok im sorry to be posting like this but its driving me nuts the mysql is not accepting conncetiongs this is what it looks like when i try to use realmd.exe

    Using configuration file realmd.conf.
    MaNGOS realm daemon /0.8-SVN (Win32)
    to stop.

    Database: 127.0.0.1;3724;root;MYPASSWORD;realmd
    Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061)

    Cannot connect to database

    can anyone tell me why it was working fine for hours and now this it became messed up when I uninstalled and reinstalled to try to match the games port and the servers port hoping that might do something but it didnt and i have made sure that every trace of MySQL was erased before i reinstalled it and i am possitive i configured it exactly like i had the 1st time

    I upgraded from 4067 to 4236, and a LOT of character bugs have been fixed in that newer release. 4236 seems to be darn-near perfect.

    Does anybody know how you can save character accounts in an older server version so I can put it in the new server version? (so my players don't lose their accounts)?

    First of all i would like to say thanks for a very nice and understandable guide to create this server. But i got one problem.. when i am trying to run mangosd.exe it just closes again very fast. I followed your guide completely, but this still happens... it breaks down when it is trying to initialize data stores, and it says that some required .*dbc files (1 from 28) is missing or incompatible. "C:\WoW\data/Spell.dbc (exists, but have 171 fields instead 173) wrong client version DBC file?"
    Do i then have to download a new version of the DBC files (in that case, where do it get them) or do i just have to change something in the file: Spell.dbc? (In that case, what do i have to change)? :)

    Hope you can help me... and ty in case

    i had the same problem, what you need to do is change your realmlist.wtf to localhost if you are running from one machine. And if you are running in a network you need to get mysqlOG and set is up sodat your realm reflects your ip addres if you need help let me know. im running a wow 2.1.3 also.

    this is also applies to cananden,

    the loud beep from your computer mean the mangos process successfully started

    and about the zeppelin thing, that mean the mangos already running in full debug

    to disable showing debug messages, open the mangosd.conf and find LogLevel and change the value into 1

    as for the beep, you can also disable it by editing the mangosd.conf, try searching for beep or similar words, and change the value into 0

    here's the summary :

    change the value like below :

    LogLevel = 1
    BeepAtStart = 0

    when checking to make sure that everything is ready to be used, the realmd comes up fine, but when i run mangosd, it starts up fine, and runs through most of the things, then it quits and the error text that shows errors said, 'ERROR:Error in `creature_template` table, probably sql file format was updated (there should be 65 fields in sql).' What should I do to make it work? and if there is a file i have to change, where would it be?

    that mean , you were using incompatible SDB file. And to fix it first you need to get compatible SDB

    here's an example if you downloaded the sdb full dump from e-turray (today) :

    SDBFull-204-4176.rar 6.32 MB 30.07.07 09:54:32

    from the above filename as you can see that the full SDB Dump was tested with Mangos Revision 4176, and so your best bet is of course download mangos revision 4176

    But I want my realm name not mangos. Also, on my server on m6 laptop i wanted to see if there were any other realms. So I rejected the one there. And when I select it it won't let me use it it says logging into game server.....
    Then 1 second later it comes back up really fast! how can i fix this

    3. I got no mobs and critters and at last
    4. I have some errors regarding tables

    I have followed this guide as close as I could. I'm using TBC 2.1.3 with the mangos 4307 from mangos-files.de and CompleteSDB156-Mangos3462. (Maybe thats why it doesn't work)
    Got a fully playable world with lan connections only there is nothing to do :)

    Iv done it all how u say sept i didnt get the part about the mpqe cose the magnos version i got came with summin like vmap and i just used that -dunno how but i did lol anyaway when i used it it created a buildings folder the vmap folder. Is this right? I was thinking maybe i did summin wrong or summin maybe because i got mangos 4326 - lastest version i could find but the sdb thing i got was SDBFull-204-4176.rar and i couldnt find 1 that says 4326.
    Also when i try and make a database it doesnt work maybe thats summin to do with not having used that mpqe i dunno.

    But if were creating a tbc server do we need that mpqe?

    Ok I got it all working now for WoW TBC 2.1.2. The last problem I have is that I can't do instances.
    When I attack a mob in there they disappear, for the DM's they walk into the air and then vanish. Is this caused by the maps or the dbc files?

    I'm not sure if someone has already with this problem or if you have found out on your on... but for you and anyone else that is having the same problem.....when you create your account you are creating a normal user account. To set a GM level to an account, type "setgm [user name] [level of GM 1-3]"... it should look something like

    mangos>setgm mangopie 3

    Mangopie being the user name, and 3 being the level of GM, on the mangos server their are 3 levels of GM 3 being the one with the most access and 1 being the lowest. I'm not sure what each level of GM has access to, but 3 is admin and will allow you to do anything you want, given it is available in the mangos commands.

    Note: When logged into a GM account type ".commands" into the chat bar for a list of available commands.

    Hey All, I'm having a Realm Loopback Issue, and i was wondering if I could get some pointer's:

    Hey all, I've been browsing through the posts, to see if i could find the answer to my problem, but it does not seem to be here: Alright here is my setup:

    I'm running mangos server version 4289 found here:http://www.mangosproject.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=4088&st=40
    Its a release by Void:

    and Silver's DB 0.7 full: Properly updated all the way through 206. I used Sqlylog to import this SQL batch file to mangosd Database, then I appiled the Core updates in each folder, in order, then Applied the update itself, and did this all the way through 206, as it is supposed to be compatible with Mangos Version 4289. http://sdb.unix7.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10294

    I've got all my dbc's, vmaps, and maps, and buildings extracted from a 2.1.3 setup, which according to the documentation that I've read should be compatible with that release.

    The mangos server is running on a Windows 2003 Server, that I setup just to run the mangos app. I also have Mysql Server 5.1, and SQLylog Community Edition 6.0.5, and for Grins and Giggles Navicat as well.

    When I startup Mangosd.exe I'm getting no errors, and the Ships are moving around constantly which is a good thing, tells me thats working at least. Realmd is running, and showed no errors.

    My Server is setup using a private class 3 IP address behind a NAT Router, i.e anotherwords 192.168.1.104
    and my Computer that I am logging in from is 192.168.1.102, and I've turned off the Firewall's on the server

    Now here's the sticky wicky: I try to log in and blam, I get the realm loop, i,e it lets me select the realm, and i goto the character screen, then it boots me back to the realm selection, then eventually disconnected.

    As I am not playing on my server, I set the Login and the Realm database to 192.168.1.104;3306;root;mangos;database i.e where database is realmd or mangos respectively. In the realmd config the logindb is set the same 192.168.1.104;3306;root;mangos;database.

    I also set the realmlist table to
    1 Omicron 192.168.1.104 3306 1 0 1

    I know, i know, I'll change passwords once everything is up and running properly. All i want to do is connect from inside my lan, I don't intend on having any outsiders connect to this server, simply because my internet connection sucks.

    I've checked my hosts file, and everything appears to be kosher there, any thoughts or ideas, other than I'm a noob, and go read other posts; and or guides. I've checked the guides at both the official mangos forumn and the SD site as well if that helps. In theory my setup should work, I'm just stumped at the moment, the only other thing i know to do is to attempt to use Hamachi :(

    Thanks all!

    well umm nevermind i guesse, figured out what my issue was, or could have been. It was one of three things i changed.

    First I went to myip org and got my public address, then I changed, my server addresses to that in my config files, realmd and mangos.

    Second in my realm list table, I left that at my private IP address, of 192.x.x.x then I found that the World Server uses the default port of 8085, so I changed my realm list table port field to 8085, then I also made sure that my realm.wtf IP address was the same as my realmlist.table in sql. I also went and double checked my port forward settings on my router, and one of them was 8085, I had that setup from an older setup, now that I remember about it.

    Third, and I feel really dee de dee! about this, is that in the realm.database my ip banned had an auto-default to 127.0.0.1....doh! so I changed it from my server's loopback address to x.x.x.x I'm glad the field type was setup for varchar.

    So one of those if not all of them fixed my issue, and maybe it might help someone else out there as well.

    Peace!

    since i never experienced that error message before, i guess it's was caused because you're using incompatible mangos version used (previously someone ask me why his chat doesnt show up) ... and it was caused because he is using wow 2.1 (it's not supported back then and when rolled back into 2.0.12 the problem disappear)

    Hey Reaper thanks to you i got my own server antrix though, some information you gave me made it possible for me to get my own server.

    I just have one little problem i have TBC Version of wow i think 2.0.12 or something like that when there are other vesions that have to be downloaded. If people do download a patch it says the server is not up to date and so on. So how do i update my server over and over agian as Blizz keeps making more of them. I don't want to have people to downgrade their version to be able to join.

    Any thing i could do to help?

    Thanks in advance for helping me ;)

    so i figured some things out about the GM commands.

    yes, you have to set your account to be GM (level 3 preferably).

    After you do that, you can run any MANGOS gm command.

    type in .command for a listing..but theres so many that you won't be able to see them all...

    i found a list somewhere, but the easiest thing to do is probably to just go into your database and looka at the command table...(in the main database, not the realm one)...all the commands are listed there, with descriptions if available.

    also, when i typed in .title, it initiated GM mode...it put the tag before my name and yea...creatures can NOT go into combat with me..kinda gay =/ i dunno how to turn it off yet..

    should be able to type in .gmoff to turnofff gm mode, and .gmon to turn it on. When GM mode is engaged, critters won't attack, and you can't learn spells, and skills from trainers :)

    make sure :

    2. you've put the correct password and username so mangos can connect to the mysql server

    Hey just stopped by to say the tutorial is exellent.
    I just have a couple questions:
    Just like another person way up there I have 2 boxes too.
    Box A is running win XP home and the server works perfectly.
    Box b is running win 2k adv server. realmd runs but mangos stops at the realm set to ID 1 and closes.

    here's the questions:
    1) do you have to run the mangos server on an XP box?
    2) does WoW have to be installed on the box in order for it to run?

    Just in case it's mangos 3462 and clasic WoW.

    thanks in advanced

    also just a reminder, looking at the syntax for the Create-database.sql file you don't have to edit the conf file to reflect root's password..
    it gives user mangos all access privliges.

    course i'm still talking about classic and not TBC. but I looked at TBC's create database file and it's almost identical. so no change is needed.

    to create test account, you'll need to use this command at mangos window :

    create desired_username password

    that mean, you're trying to use incompatible mangos with your wow installation

    for example, you have wow classic installed on your computer (without tbc), the only mangos you can use is only Revision 3462 and you can't go any higher than that

    and the same goes for TBC expansion pack too, which mean if you're using TBC client you need to use mangos revision 3463 and above

    Awesome guide, nice work! Screenshots helped.

    However, I have a perhaps major problem.

    The mangsod.exe does not run. I've done the reconfigure thing like three times in a row, reinstalled it, removed it all and installed it all again, still not working. I even got my friend's .exe file which was working and it doesn't work for me. It gives me an error report "Send" or "Don't Send" window whenever I try to open the .exe. It never tells me what the error is. I looked through all the different notepad files and found the only trace of an error in the Server notepad file.

    Any help? Thank you very much.

    Well, I did this in the mangosd.conf

    WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;jedash;password"

    Still not working, the .exe still closes on me. And the server text document still says the same error, however, the date has not changed. Any other suggestions?

    Well, I did this in the mangosd.conf

    WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;jedash;password”

    Still not working, the

    No root would be the username and jedash would be the password so it should look like this

    “127.0.0.1;3306;root;jedash;realmd” for the realmd config
    and
    LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;jedash;realmd"
    WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;jedash;mangos"

    try that

    Hi jedash,

    i'd suggest you to run it from the command prompt directly instead of double clicking on the exe so you can see what causes mangos process to close, and here's how to do that :

    Note: i assume you're running Windows XP

    1. Start Menu -> Run -> type CMD and press enter

    2. go into your mangos directory, for example if you place mangos in C:\WoW\Mangos then type cd /d C:\wow\mangos

    3. type mangosd.exe

    4. now you'll be able to see what is the actual problem
