WoW Mangos 4488, ScriptDev2 134 with Project Silvermoon DB Rev17

Looks cool isn't it ?

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 :)

#1Mangos 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 :

#2Mangos 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) :

  • cd C:\Mangos\reaper-eazy-mangos
  • mysql -u root -p -v < drop_mysql.sql
  • mysql -u root -p -v < create_mysql.sql
  • mysql -u root -p -v -D realmd < realmd.sql
  • mysql -u root -p -v -D mangos < rx-mangos-4488-silvermoon17-scriptdev134.sql

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 …

Stairway to heaven :P

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

    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.

    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` ;

    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

    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

    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 ;)

    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).

    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!

    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!

    # 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 :)

    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! :)

    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 ;)

    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 :\

    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.

    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)

    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!

    this is how the mangosd.conf locks like:

    Dude! I had that same problem! Its an easy fix... After you put in your direct path to the Data file in Mangos... Put quotation marks around it! So... something like... "C:\Mangos\Data" instead of just C:\Mangos\Data

    Just make sure its in the right spot and you got it!

    Byzan | Sep 23, 2007 at 8:48 / 8:48 AM | Links to this comments | Reply

    Oh and umm.. since I cant edit the last comment I made.. It should look a bit different than that... something like...

    # Data directory setting.
    # Important: DirectDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may
    # contain space characters.
    DataDir = "C:\Mangos\Data"

    The direct link in quotes is wherever it is on your computer, though. Which I believe is where you said it was so there ya go, man! Just make sure thats the way it looks... Or just copy/paste that... And it should work. Screwed my server over to at first :|

    Oh and umm... Reaper- You need to change that part on your Tutorial... It doesnt include the quotes around the replacement wording so it throws people off :\ I only figured it out because I read the actual file after it didn't work the first time (I was just rushing through it, lol)

    Take care!

    well .. actually i do use quotes, but this wonderful software automatically transform it into curly quotes lol ... im going to encode it so it'll show the correct quotes ... done :D

    Thanks for the info ;)

    # Adcox

    Ah it seems mangosd and realmd can't bind to specified port .. hm .. thats strange. Did you run any other application that is listening on those ports ?

    or ... btw did you run it with administrator privilege ?

    # Thomas

    Ah your problem is mangos can't connect to the mysql server, to fix it :

    run the mysql server first

    and to make sure that mysql already started and listening for incoming connection type :

    netstat /an

    from command prompt

    and see if there's something like this from the output of netstat

    TCP 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

    # Zack

    Look at the Server.log file in your mangos directory to see what's the source of the problem ;)

    Ah, try running the ad.exe first to extract the maps and then run the vmaps extractor to get the maps

    # Zack

    If you're looking to view your windows event log

    you just need to type :

    eventvwr.msc

    Neo,

    Reaper-X has already answered that problem (i live in europe aswel).

    Here's what he posted::

    # 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 :)

    okay then try typing this from command prompt :

    or

    type services.msc from Windows Run command, and then search for mysql service entry, right click on it and choose start mysql

    and lastly check using netstat if you can see port 3306 listening for incoming connection

    # Thomas

    see the Server.log file in your mangos directory, so you know what's the source of the problem

    # hesham

    Thanks :) .. as for your question, did you see zepplin moving from some coordinate to other coordinat ? im pretty sure i've disabled so that mangos will only shows you a basic/error message only

    btw which mangos version you're using ?

    # tacd

    Well .. i'm from Jakarta, Indonesia in GMT+7 timezone :) .. to be honest, actually i really want to play on official server too (or at least the trial version so i can see what it looks like on official server, how many players, etc)

I can see in the Mangos compile from the SVN Repository where I can get the ad.exe, as well as the vmaps bat files . . . but I can't see where to get my own DBC Extractor. I know I can simply download somebody else's DBC Extractor, but I would like to know where I can get my own from the SVN Repository.

    Now this is really strange, my suggestions are :

    1. Change the port used by mangos and realmd, the default realmd try to bind to port 3724 (realmd.conf) while mangos bind to 8085 (mangosd.conf) so try using other numbers first

    2. If the above still not working, try disabling firewall, and run the mangosd and realmd process again

    3. if the #2 still not working, try rebooting your computer, and after logged in into your computer, disable firewall and then try running mangos and realmd again

    that's it

    btw what OS you're using ?

    # hesham

    btw after the handshake process, does the mangosd process and / or realmd process close itself automatically ? or does both of them still running ?

    Quick Question : I got everything up and running fine. No errors showing nothing. Best guide you or anyone has done.
    Created my usual character to test with (Dwarf Warrior) and took the first Quest "Dwarven outfitters". Went to kill a wolf and before my first strike I was dead. Resurrected tried again same thing. Tried to hit a trogg same thing.
    Can kill a boar though.

    Any idea whats up with that and how to fix it?

    speaking of Ascent, i just registered there today, and i'm looking forward to their system. i've been a member of mangosproject, and i really like what they're doing (even though they're not the nicest bunch), but i'm looking forward to seeing Ascent's core.

    thanks for the information, reaper.

    redoing the data base did not solve the problem.. low level creatures have a misty blue haze above them and cannot be hit or they cause instant death.

    any ideas reaper...

    I decided to give Mangos a go as well. I got through the MySQL setup just fine (even found the community version without much work) as well as getting the server up and running (though right now for testing purposes I'm just looping it Home). However I'm having the same problem as others have mentioned above (example instant kill from low level critters doing about 254 dmg, and npc respawning is a no go as well). I can manually re-spawn areas, but was hoping the server would do it automatically. I've searched Google & Yahoo but only find similar situations. Anyone been able to get around these couple problems? Here is an excerpt from my DBErrors.log:

    2007-09-24 00:56:13 Quest 905 has `ReqSourceRef1` = 3 but `ReqItemId3` = 0 and `ReqSpellCast3` = 0, quest can't be done.

    2007-09-24 00:56:13 Quest 10087 has `ReqCreatureOrGOId1` = -33067 but gameobject 33067 doesn't exist, quest can't be done.
    2007-09-24 00:56:13 Quest 10087 has `ReqCreatureOrGOId2` = -33068 but gameobject 33068 doesn't exist, quest can't be done.
    2007-09-24 00:56:13 Quest 9386 has `ReqCreatureOrGOId1` = -181346 but gameobject 181346 doesn't exist, quest can't be done.

    2007-09-24 00:56:13 Table creature_questrelation: Quest 349 listed for entry 1449 not exist.

    Same as above I believe. On the bright side, Thanks so much for putting on the guide, Reaper. It certainly rox!

    # Adcox

    Unfortunately that's the only possible way i know of, basically if you can't bind a program to specific port that's because there's another program using that port

    and the only solution to fix it is, by closing that program that use the same port, or change it manually into another value

    your best solution would be asking directly at the mangos project forum :) .. or at windows networking forum first

    # hesham

    Actually that's depend on your firewall and of course your firewall configuration :)

    currently im using Ghostwall firewall to replace windows xp firewall and another one from my router (if you want to see my post about ghostwall, you can search this site)

    # sunwolf and applejack

    Well ... since it's related to database problem, the solution would be :

    1. Editing the database manually (it's under the creature_template table)

    2. Report it to the silvermoon project (im using their database) .. http://projectsilvermoon.net

    3. Wait until the Rev18 came out :)

    for example (taken from the database itself)

    Kobold Vermin Min attack 155, max attack 208 .. while i don't really know if that's correct or not ... but you can always reduce it's value into something else :)

    # Mike

    Could you tell me, after you've extracted the map using ad.exe (vmaps extractor is for line of sight), can you find it manually by using the windows search function for that filename ?

    because i can see those maps name just fine (and it gets extracted properly without any problem)

    Hey reaper,

    I have the server up and running except the mobs are doing way to much damage, seeings a level 2 wolf from northshire abby is hitting a level 1 rogue for 255. I dropped the damage done to player by normal mobs to 0.1 but he is still hitting me for way to much any way to make them hit for a there normal 1-5 damage.
