I just compiled another Mangos revision and this time it is using Mangos SVN Revision 4488 with ScriptDev2 revision 134 (it’s clean compile without any other patch). As a note, i only tested on my own computer using World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade 2.1.3 enUS client, so if you’re using other client version i don’t know if it’s going to work or not with your wow tbc
The first file is to those who’s already have Mangos database installed and already configured, and don’t want to start all over again (i assume you already know on how to upgrade your mangos database) :) … so all you have to do is just importing the mangos core updates and the scriptdev2 sql into your database and you’re finished
Update : I just released the new Mangos 4505 with Scriptdev2 R136, so try using the new version instead :)
#1 – Mangos R4488 with ScriptDev2 R134 (DBC Extractor, VMaps Extractor and Map Extractor Included) (2.14MB)
While the second file, is to those who’s just want a fresh start or want to create their own private wow server for the first time (i know the pain of using slow internet connection to download large file). The only differences between this version with the above version is, this version include the Project Silvermoon Database Revision 17 (and all the necessary sql update already included too). So without further ado here are the steps :
#2 – Mangos R4488 with ScriptDev2 R134 and Full Database Dump (DBC Extractor, VMaps Extractor and Map Extractor Included) (9.98MB)
Update : To those who’s having problem on extracting the DBC files, i just uploaded mine (WoW-TBC-2.1.3–enUS DBC 2.85MB) … btw because i’m using the enUS client i’m not to sure if it’s going to with other region version, but it’s not hurt to try, right ?
Note : I assume you’ve configured and installed MySQL properly, if you want to know how to install MySQL, refer to my previous post about MySQL installation Guide for Windows
Note 2 : Adjust your World of Warcraft Game installation path accordingly
1. Extract the rar archive somewhere, for example C:\Mangos
2. Open Command Prompt
3. Execute these commands (must be in order) :
4. Copy the ad.exe from MapExtractor Directory into C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft
5. Create new folder called maps, and then run the ad.exe … and wait until this process finished (don’t interrupt it)
6. Copy all files inside VmapExtractAssembler into C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft and run the makevmaps_SIMPLE.bat … and wait again until it finished
7. Copy all files inside DBC Extractor into C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS … and run the extract.bat … and wait until it finished
8. Move vmaps, maps, and dbc folder from your World of Warcraft installation path into C:\Mangos\data (create folder named data first)
9. Open Mangosd.conf using Wordpad … and then find this line :
DataDir = "@prefix@/share/mangos"
Change it to :
"C:\Mangos\data"
10. Open realmlist.wtf file from C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft using Notepad and change the :
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
into
set realmlist 127.0.0.1
11. Run Mangosd.exe and Realmd.exe …
12. At the Mangosd window type these :
create myusername mypassword
setgm myusername 3
13. Run World of Warcraft … and then login using myusername as username, and mypassword as password
14. Done …

As a side note, if there’re many people downloading this … perhaps i’m going to simplify the steps in the future by creating batch file :)
And to those who prefer to see a detailed guide with images, feel free to look at my previous post about Creating WoW Private Server … enjoy ;)
And here’s for the list of Mangos GM Commands
P.S If i’m missing something just let me know about it
Leave a response
Just a question… is there any way to get past the raids holds on instances? I kinda wanna take on the world!! IE- Karazhan! :P But the raid issue is annoying… And WOW! The Spectral Swift Tiger looks awesome! You all should get one in your bags ;P
Thanks again!
that’s great :) .. but im sure previously there’s something wrong with the configuration or .. you didn’t import the sql properly ;)
Hey reaper. i rienstalled the entire thing and my server and it works perfectly now. pondering what i did wrong the last time but at least its working now.
# tacd
ah lol actually i just tested it right away and no problem for me that’s why it took a while to reply to your and bryzan comment lol
btw here’s the link to the screenshot
and thanks for telling me about that weapon :P because well .. i know nothing about the wow game itself (this is why you should play on official server first in order to learn about the game itself) lol
# Bryzan
Cleaned up your uncompleted post ;)
btw glad you found the solution :D
nm works now
Err…. That last post didnt work right! But yeah.. Thanks for all the work!!! And the Help! And yeah!!! So now lets get those GM codes… heh… And GM LAND TIME!!! woo! Thanks so much man! This has been awesome.
ok then! Well nevermind… I was stupid and forgot a quotation mark!!! Thanks for the help overall though! I just hope this works after all of this, lol. If it doesn’t well.. EESH! This is gonna suck lol.
Nice Tutorial and awesome help though, regardless!
Hmm.. Alright then.. It has something about my file link being wrong for mangos as to where to find the “data” path… It has it as completely contrary to what I put in earlier.. Infact, its missing a good few words even! So umm.. how do I re-edit this to see the correct file path?
hmm i got dual wield skill to work but when i try to wield “http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=32837&locale=enUS;source=live” (Warglaive of Azzinoth set) my rogue keeps on saying “i’ll never be able to equip that”. what am i doing wrong?
# Byzan
Open and close immediately ? aah … to see the error message, try opening the Server.log in your mangos directory
Yeah… I just hit another issue for some reason or another! (Oh and thanks for that update! Still wouldn’t work.. and I also had to run everything under Administrator mode to get it to work.. Dern read/write privelges with Vista! Its a pain sometimes…)
But everytime I open Mangosd, It opens then closes immediately… I have no idea whats up with this so I was wondering if you could help me out there! Up The realmd sets up perfectly fine.. And when I tried this on the whole.. Shadowhunter repack of Mangos, the code would boot up. But anyway! If you could help me out with this issue :\ (And it lasts for less than a second on activation so I cant tell ya anything that its saying! :\)
Thanks again!
Aha! i kept on trying .lookupskill…. epic failure there! Thanks for your quick reply reaper. Got it working now woohoo.
# Thomas
Could you tell me what’s inside the Server.log and Realmd.log
# Seventh101
Could you tell me what you’re trying to do when you get that message ?
from your description, it seems that you want to execute this sql query :
mangosmangos
# tacd
it’s working (actually dual wield works since the old mangos version)
you just need to type :
.lookupspell dual wield
or
.lookupspell dual
to get the skill id
and then type :
.learn IDNUMBER
that’s it :D
to see the screenshot look at my very first post about WoW
btw the screenshot was taken with mangos R3642 (which is the old version for WoW Classic only)
one question, does dual wield skill not work? cant get it to work by doing all the .learn all / .learn all_crafts, etc commands.
I love this guid! best one on the internet.
Hey reaper i’m having an issue with trying to run the mangos and realmd.exe files on my end. Ive done every thing els correctly but thes files just open and shut off real quick.
I decided to run sqlyog and when i tried to run the bat file from that it says
Error Code : 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘mangosmangos’ at line 1
(0 ms taken)
Do I have to rienstall the whole thing or is there a way to get it to work correctly?
Hi,
Firstly a great guide, but i got a problem.
Everything works up until i try to logon to the server: i just get “unable to connect” – and i’ve checked my realm list and it is set to 127.0.0.1. Besides that the server and realmd seem to start up fine :\
Any feed back would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
# Byzan
Since i havent tried vista yet (perhaps later if lots of application im using now, has been supported to work with vista :P)
You could try downloading the extracted files instead (just uploaded it few hours ago), the link to download it can be found under the Mangos with database dump
as a side note,
If you get this error message when running the extract.bat :
Fatal: Could not locate SFmpq.dll
copy the SFmpq.dll into the same directory as the MPQE.exe ;)
Yeah- Im having an issue with the DBC extractor.
Everytime I go to run it, it says that it cannot find the file SFmpq file.. I am running vista so that could be part of the problem but I do not know what I can do to solve that problem… I hope you can help because so far, this has seemed like the most likely to work Emulator I’ve tried to use.
Thank you in advance for any help you could possibly give me! Great Tutorial! :)
# tacd
Thanks tacd :)
# Noah
I just uploaded the DBC file extracted from WoW 2.1.3 enUS client, try looking at the update part to get the link
# Jbon007
If you’re looking for the extracted dbc files, see the update part ;)
i found out why my maps are incomplete…i didn’t the the \data\expansion in my WoW folder…any idea where can i get it? Thanks again!
I still can’t get the DBC extractor to work. Ive tried changeing the filename and the filename in extract to the same thing but even that won’t work. Could there be a problem with the extractor itself? Thanks for helping.
It worked, thanks! Looking forward to see more from you :)
# Teus
Well .. since i never played on official server i dont know much about it (i wish i could) … but i’m pretty sure that i managed to find bugs on the project silvermoon database, you can always report it to their forums directly ;)
http://projectsilvermoon.net/index.php
Have I wrong databases ? What can I do to fix this problem ?
as for temporary fix, you can always edit the database directly by using your favorite MySQL Client ;)
# Pete
If you’re using enGB client, try open the extract.bat file inside DBC Extractor directory using Notepad / Wordpad, and then change these :
locale-enUS.MPQ
patch-enUS.MPQ
patch-enUS-2.MPQ
into
locale-enGB.MPQ
patch-enGB.MPQ
patch-enGB-2.MPQ
btw if it’s for work you, let me know about it, i’ll add it in the future :)
# JBon007
I believe you didn’t extract the Maps files correctly, try running the Map Extractor, Vmaps Extractor, and DBC Extractor to fix it :)
# Noah
First you need to know which WoW version you’re using, and then change the Patch-enUS into your WoW Region ;) .. for example look at my answer to Pete question
# Dylan
You need to get Microsoft .NET 2 Runtime installed in order to run DBC Extractor :)
Click here to get .NET 2 Runtime
and then run the dbc extractor again
# Naomi Wiflath
I need some information first to see why you can’t connect to your server
so, open the Server.log file inside your mangos directory, and see what’s the error message
btw just in case you didnt know, you need to keep the Mangosd.exe and Realmd.exe running in background when you want to connect to your own server ;)
# ANdreN
You just need to wait for the VMaps assembler to assembly the VMaps files :)
Hello i have a little problem with step 6. when i dothat step the Command Prompt start and then it works and works for a long time and now it says “Work complete. No errors.” but there are still vmap files coming in to the vmaips folder… what is wrong?
Hello again! Ive tried changing around the realmlist, but it still cant connect to my main server. Is it my realmlist? Its set to 127.0.0.1
Ty :)
i have it as
DataDir = “D:\Mangos\data”
as i have it in D :S
ok this sux… i just wnt a server i can screw around on >.>
no i mean it wont let me extract the dbc it just says this app i unable to start wtf?
I fixed my previous problem but now I see that my DBC files are outdated. So I tried to run the extractor and it gets to patch-enUS-2.MPQ then it says it could not be found, however I see the file in the folder. Thanks for helping.
Hi Reaper,
First of all, thank you very much for your excellent guide! I really enjoyed myself playing my own server of WoW classic. But now when i tried to upgrade to tbc, i have this problem on mangosd.exe
The log display:

I followed your step by step using the ‘Mangos R4488 with ScriptDev2 R134 and Full Database Dump’. I started from scratch again. I patch my WoW up until 2.1.3. I dont know where i went wrong. Please advice. Thanks!
I did all the steps until I did the create_mysql.sql file where it says:
Error 1146 (42S02)at line 1: Table mysql.user does not exist.
Followed every step exactly, once i try to log on it just says unable to connect, any ideas? I’m fully patched but on enGB, think this could be the cause?
Hey! I followed the instructions and everything seems to be working well- but I cannot connect to the server. I’ll log in, and it will give me the “unable to connect” message.
Also, how would I allow others to connect to me?
Thanks!
Great info !
Server work very well !
Only few questions: mobs appears “little” than official servers, and lev 1 yellow mobs around birth pg place (northshire, azuremyst isle, ecc) hits too strong than 1 level pg (240/250 pf per hit).
Have I wrong databases ? What can I do to fix this problem ?
First make sure you’ve .NET 2 Runtime from Microsoft installed on your computer (search microsoft.com website for NET Runtime)
as for mangos / ascent quickly flashes that’s because you didn’t configure it properly
make sure you’ve configured everything in mangosd.conf and realmd.conf
if you’re using this distribution of mangos and you’ve extracted the DBC, Vmaps, and Maps correctly
you just need to edit the DATADIR into the correct path and you’re done ;)
ive also tried an antrix server and an acsent but each time i get to that stage nothing at all…. also just to add ive been trying to start up the realmd. before everything finished (:P) just to see something.. but the screen quickly flashes on then dissapears is this normal and do i have to wait for everything to finish or is that a complete and utter problem.. sorry for the 3 posts in a row thing
ok wait to explain this easier il just type the whole thing out….
The application failed to initialize properly (0×0000135), Click on OK to terminate the application
ok wtf when i try to run the batch file eve AFTER ive done the maps and vmaps it says it cant work or sum shit like ?????
Of course, basically SQLYog is just a 3rd party application designed to perform mysql related task easier
but as a reminder, you’ll need MySQL installed first in order for SQLYog to work ;)
as for mysql community edition gone from mysql .. im pretty sure you just didn’t notice the link to the community edition release ;) because they just redesigned their web site
click here to mysql community edition (open source, freeware)
and grab the 42.4 MB version
can this be done with SQLyog as i cant find the community edition its just gone poof…..
it’s the window that launched after you run the mangosd.exe ;)
you’ll see that there are two window after you execute / run the mangosd.exe and realmd.exe, now you just need to type inside that window :)
figured it out. Had / instead of \ for the data dir. Don’t laugh, very tired!
Fixed, but I do not know what you mean by ‘mangosd window’. Where will I find it?
maybe I did something wrong. I noticed I had the same problem as prinnysquadleader and tried the fix, but it is still giving me the same error message.
Ah … actually you just need to type at the mangosd window where it shows you something like this :
tele – Teleport player to location.
mangos>
and the result would be like this
mangos> create myusername mypassword
and then
mangos> setgm myusername 3
to get the highest level of game master known as Administrator :P
I get stuck at step 12. I run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe, but I cannot figure out the prompt to create a username and password
Im really sorry packaged the wrong drop_mysql.sql
to fix it you just need to open the drop_mysql.sql using Wordpad
and then delete everything except for these two lines :
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS `mangos` ;
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS `realmd` ;
I get this error entering the drop_mysql.sql command~ BTW great guide bro, I’ve set up other servers using this guide and it was a sinch, but this stumps me :X
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the ma
nual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use n
ear ”localhost” at line 1
Hmmm for some odd reason, I get an improper syntax on the first step with the drop_mysql, but the other 3 work, is it something I’m doing wrong? I’m starting from scratch with this version so I dunno if the drop is releated to an update or what not.
