I just noticed today that patch 2.2.2 has been released … and so that’s why i’ve decided to upload another release of WoW Mangos for WoW 2.2.2 but for optimal result you should use it on 2.1.3 though since 2.2 and 2.2.2 just gets released this week, so it’s not fully supported yet … but i’ve decided to upload this eventhough i just released 4524 few days ago …
Although i don’t see any problem at all (but that’s because of my lack knowledge about World of Warcraft itself) … but … at least the mangosd.exe process is not crash :P and it is still running in the background normally. As another note, since the only files changed in 2.2+ is just the DBC files, i’ve included the DBC files to make thing easier for you … and all you have to do is just extract the VMaps and Maps files and then configure the datadir, and lastly you just need to import the database
But i think it’d be better if i list the steps :)
UPDATE : If you just recently upgraded into WoW 2.2.3 … please check my new Mangos 4577, Scriptdev2 140 and with Project Silvermoon and Unified Database included ;)
Requirements :
Upgrading from previous Mangos 4488, 4505, and 4525 release :
Note : Look for my previous post for MySQL Installation guide, because i assume you’ve done installing and configuring mysql ;)
1. Copy the dbc files included overwriting previously extracted DBC Files
2. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat inside reaper-eazy-mangos directory, and choose to backup your character first
3. Then choose Installation / Upgrade … and wait until finished
4. Now choose the Restore option to restore your precious character data
5. Choose the option to adjust the datadir, and configure the exp rate, etc …
6. Now you need to go into your World of Warcraft installation directory, and then delete the Cache directory there and then run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe you’re done
Optional : Since this 4535 release, i’ve modified the batch script so to those who want to change their realm name can do it using the menu provided instead of executing the sql queries manually :)
Fresh Installation :
1. Copy all files from MapExtractor directory and VMaps Extractor and Assembler into your World of Warcraft Installation directory and then run extract-map.bat first and wait until it’s finished, after finished now you need to run the makevmaps_SIMPLE.bat and wait until Press Any Key To Continue Message appear (that mean you’ve finished extracting the VMaps) … before that message appear don’t close that window (don’t worry it’ll took a while to finish this process) :)
2. After finished with the previous steps, now you just need to move the VMaps and Maps directory which is created automatically from the previous step into the same directory as your DBC Directory
3. Now you just need to follow the upgrade process, because the next steps is just the same like the Upgrading process with the exception if you’re doing a fresh install, you don’t need to perform backup first
Screenshot taken using WoW 2.2.2 (it’s still the same old character, i’m just too lazy to create a new character lol) :

Another note : WoW 2.2 and 2.2.2 still not fully supported by Mangos, so if you found any errors message when used on WoW 2.2, or 2.2.2 … you just need to wait until the Mangos team has released the fully compatible … this is just a quick and dirty way so you can play on WoW 2.2.2 which is just released today

ah lol, actually there’s no SDB anymore since 4488 because i’ve moved to Silvermoon database :)
and no, you dont need to import anything manually anymore since everything already done via the batch file created by me
you just need to pick the install option and continue the rest ;)
the previous guide was created to those who’s interested to see how everything works (if they’re interested on learning)
but it seems i was wrong, most people prefer to use an easy way to do it so i choose to create that batch file (and add more features into it by reading every comment posted especially to those who’s keep having problem on specific area) :)
Thnx very much I feel incredible stupid now and my arm hurts. :(
could you spare one more q? plss
On this page you mention you still have to Import the database is that SDB_0.7_FULL_Mangos_4051.zip ?
And which tutorial do I have to read for that.
# Siegelink
Ah actually if you’re already using 4505++ you don’t need to follow that guide anymore (beside since 4488 im using another database), because i’ve made the batch script in order to make installation process easier :)
all you have to do is just run the reaper-x-mangos.bat, then choose install, change the datadir using the menu provided, set realmlist into 127.0.0.1 and you’re done :)
# applejack
Do you mean like combining several sql files into one file to execute ?
# Niisse
You need to extract the dbc file manually. But since you’re using enGB version, you need to edit the extract.bat inside the dbc extractor directory and change the enUS into enGB
# Akabeth
Well you need to know your root password first (the root password when asked at the mysql installation process) :)
# Meh
Can’t login ? what’s the error message ? or try relogin again and see if the problem still there or not
Sorry for my last crappy post :0
I installed WOW the downloadable US version and patched it up to 2.2.2.7318
I followed the tutorial on this page and every step is clear.
I extracted the maps vmaps from wow.
Then I extracted the ReaperMangos4535 in c:\ and placed the maps in c:\ReaperMangos4535\data changed in 2.2
Then I executed reaper-x-mangos.bat
and installed it (option1) and also gave the directory path for the mysql\bin and the data path.
After running mangosd.exe I noticed errors.
(all the maps where extracted db checked)
Then going trough all the posts and tutorials I found out that I hadden’t imported a database file so I downloaded SDB_0.7_FULL_Mangos_4051.zip
The tutorial also makes mention of 3 other files named create-database.sql mangos-full-for-rev3462.sql realm-database-full.sql
Here’s where I got confused because the tutorial is quite old and for a much older version of WoW and mangos
Is this tutorial still right?
http://www.reaper-x.com/2007/06/28/configuring-mangos-for-tbc-server-or-wow-classic-server-setting-up-private-wow-server/
Are these files still usable?
(create-database.sql, mangos-full-for-rev3462.sql, realm-database-full.sql, From the CompleteSDB156-Mangos3462.rar)
If not where are these latest new 3 files?
Last version mentioned is CompleteSDB156-Mangos3462.rar
Many tnx if you could help me.
Actually my question is about adding .sql patches to the DB. Am I able to select more than one at a time using SQLyog (maybe a batch file), or am I stuck only being able to load one a time?
Any suggestions? I’ve got a couple dozen I want to add, and I’m like ‘crap, this is taking too long’.
Other than that, I’ve been able to get 0 errors on my installation, so I’m a happy camper.
Thanks!
Hey!
I got probs extract the dbc files. I have copied the files from your folder into wow\data\enGB … when i try start it says it cant start … i think it is couse i dont have US wow … how do i do then ??
oh looks like the dbcs are included in the download? so its not it if it says something about them
if it says that you miss some maps or dbcs, you should try extracting them again.
My dbc folder is 43,5mb,
maps 1,06mb,
and vmaps 1,75mb
If they are less than those, i think you should extract them again (well the sizes may not always be that, depends on the version or something, i guess)
HI,
I have installed a freh copy of wow and patched it to 2.2.2.
Then I extracted ReaperMangos4535.exe in c:\
Then 2 days of trying to make sense of the tutorials resulted in this:
I made the two maps and put them in c:\ReaperMangos4535\data changed in 2.2\
Then I followed a tutt. saying that I had to put 3 files create-database.sql\mangos-full-for-rev3462.sql\realm-database-full.sql into c:\wow\sdb
I, am correct that the latest files (sql) are from the CompleteSDB156-Mangos3462.rar ?
Hmm… Tinkered around with mangox.bat
1234 then 5… got stumped by Error 1045 root@localhost… looked around and seems like a lot of people getting this problem also
ANd again i got it working hehe,but i cant log in with my character in 2.2.2 :S
oh i chagned the wrong thing,héhe oops,but now i have a new problem ,Sigh: Incorrect DataDir value in mangosd.conf or all Required *.dbc files not found by path ./dpc
Baah still doesnt find the maps,i tried what you said :s
ok i have sent you an email with my ip you should get it soon and ive set the test/test AC up also set realmlist to ip ty very much from the help
@ Reaper-x
No lol I’ve never even heard of it..
I just ran the reaper-x-mangos.bat a second ago.
It asked my bin directory so I did the C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin (hence default directory)
I typed it in… and I am in the mangos thing’s main menu =D
There’s options [1] to [6]
What should I do next?
Thnx Reaper, workin great
# Oscina
send me an email message and tell me your public ip address, set the realmlist to your public ip address, then create test username with : test/test (usr/pass) , run the mangosd and realmd process and i’ll try to connect to your server (if you allowed it)
# Mike
From your description it seems that the MSVCR71 currently not compatible with the windows version you’re using :(
i’d suggest you to pay a visit to microsoft website to look for compatible DLL file from there
# Lo
Just close the window and then re-run the batch file ;)
# Akabeth
Akabeth, did you run reaper-x-mangos.bat (inside reaper-eazy-mangos directory) first before running mangosd and realmd ?
# Meh
Did you wait until the VMaps extractor process complete without interrupting it ? (wait until you see Press Any Key to continue message)
Or if you don’t want to use VMAPS (i’d recommend you to use vmaps, just wait for the extraction process to finish although it’ll take a while from 30 minute – 45 minute depending on how fast your computer is), you can disable it by editing mangosd.conf using text editor
change these lines
vmap.enableLOS = 1
vmap.enableHeight = 1
into
vmap.enableLOS = 0
vmap.enableHeight = 0
i have a new problem now.: when i open Mangos it says Cant find vmap 000_43_31.vmdir,maybe could you send me that map please?
I also tried to modify the
World Database: 127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos to mangos;root;root (my username and pass)
same thing with realmd… but it only comes up as cannot connect to database or unknown database

Hope that pinpoints what I’m doing wrong =(
It’s me again.
No I didn’t get any error message, MySQL instance server is working properly; never any error while extracting all the files. I just can’t get into database… I have no idea why.
I just get access denied when I run mangosd and realmd.exe
Oh nvm.. i got it working,^^
Thanks for the swift reply.
I looked at msvcr71’s properties, but there was no version number shown (maybe it is corrupt).
I tried putting the dll in the mangos directory, didn’t change a thing.
I also tried going start ‘run’ ‘regsvr32 msvcr71.dll’ and i got the error message “The module ‘msvcr71.dll’ may not be compatible with the version of windows you’re running. Check the module is compatible with x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of regsvr32.exe.”
Any ideas? Maybe if you could upload your msvcr71.dll & msvcp71.dll files.
Thanks for your help.
Mike
My RealmD and Mangos doesnt work,when i run em it says :Cannot Connect.
+ when i run reaper -x- mangos and i wanna upgrade/install,it doesnt i rype my root password and when i have typed it,it says done.
It says Mysql is not recongized as an internal command,Operable program or batch while.
Oh and btw… My english aint the ”best”
Yes my friend can ping my PC he gets 4sent 4 recived thats why its so confusing he can connect (in a limited fashion)but then gets booted.
could you tell me what’s your msvcr71.dll version ? mine is 7.10.3052.4
btw did you register the msvcr71.dll first ? by typing :
regsvr32 msvcr71.dll
as a note, msvcr71 comes with .NET 1.1, while .NET 2 and 3 gives you msvcr80
i’d suggest you to put the msvcr71 into the same directory as mangos first and see if it’s working for you or not ;)
Your tutorials have been a great help to me, however I am stuck and am on the verge of giving up. When I use ‘mangosd.exe’ or ‘realmd.exe’ I get a ‘MSVCR71.dll’ error. At first it was saying the dll was missing, so I tried installing windows 2.0 framework (worked) and windows 1.1 framework (gave an install error). Installing the frameworks did not correct the problem. I then downloaded the dll from the net and placed it in the windows system directory. Now when I try to run ‘mangosd.exe’ or ‘realmd.exe’ I get error saying ‘MSVCR71.dll’ is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error.
Is there anyway I can get around this problem?
Before when I was running a classic WoW server the ‘mangosd.exe’ & ‘realmd.exe’ you supplied worked perfectly.
I am running a dedicated PC with Windows Server 2008 and don’t really want to change as I have a valid cd key for it.
Thank You
# Jared
From which mangos revision you’re upgrading your database ?
# Akabeth
No problem actually :) .. as for your question, did you get any error message when choosing to install the database from the batch script menu provided ?
# GBM
It seems that your system missing some dll, try searching for MSVCR71.DLL using Google, and you’ll see where you can download that dll .. and then put it in the same directory as Mangos ;)
# Oscina
Ask your friend to ping your computer first to see if they can reach your computer or not, and if they can’t ping your computer that mean there’s something blocking their connection
Sry to double post let me just tell what it says in last few lines @ mangosd.exe in CMD:
Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Access denied for user ‘mangos’@'localhost’ <using password:YES.
Cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos
Great guide Reaper-x
I just have one big road block.
It says I can’t connect to my database.
On both MySQL and Mangosd.exe ….
Any suggestions?
Dude,
I backed up my character data then restored it and the game opens and all but I can’t create new characters or see my old characters… I know they are there because I see them in my MySQL Database.
Hey i did all of the steps and is says error when i trie to run realmd and mangosd:
”This application has failed to start beacuse MSVCR71.dll was not found.”
Can someone help me, im thinking is a path i didn’t do, it didn’t let me do the :
” 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”
Im trying to put a TBC Server using {Mangos 4535 Release}
used 4534 the one reaper x has provided.
which mangos version do you use in your packages? the latest available one on mangos-files.de is 4505.
hi im struggling getting other people to connect to my server they can connect through LAN but not from outside my LAN they get stuck on the connecting screen i have no router and my firewall is disabled so ports and port forwarding arnt the issue im using Mangos 4534 dont know wether this supports outside connections to my server, i have tried no-ip DNS and that didnt seem to make no diffrence to the situation the mysql command to change the server works fine and i had no errors or had to retry anything while installing this version of mangos, SO if anyone has any bright ideas then please let me know im kinda pulling my hair out now as my friends pester me daily to see wether i have done it yet -.-
could you please upload to your own site.. rapidshare and megaupload ar slooowww..
Betamax:
In order to import items into the database, you need to be able to actually see the database. This can be done by installing a program called SQLYog. It’s a GUI for MySQL.
When you run it, it’ll ask you to connect to your MaNGOS database. After you do that, you’ll see a side column with your MaNGOS database displayed. Right click on it, and go down to “Restore from SQL Dump.”
Another window will pop up where you can select the .sql file you want to extract to the database. Select the file of the weapon you made, hit execute, and you’re done. The item will have been imported into the database.
That is, unless you get an error. In which case, that ID number has already been taken, and you’ll have to find a new one.
And btw? am I correct in assuming that you no longer need to do anything with the SDB files anymore and that they are integrated during install, because otherwise that step is missing from the tutorials.
I have the sme problem as siegelink except it only can’t find the vmaps. Im on vista also.
Hi,
Install works untill the final two steps: mangosd.exe and realmd.exe, they can’t find my directory path (dbc, maps and vmaps)no matter what I do.
Error messages are: Using unknown world database, 0004331.map not excists (Have it in the right dir) and please put the (maps etc.) in the appropriate directories (which I have, double checked) Is this because I,m using Vista?
Hi Reaper :)
How do i create my own weapon? I saw how much damage your Omega and Ultima did and want to create my own. I went to the site http://wow-v.com/weaponcreator.php and made my weapon. But how do i install it ? i got MySQL server 5.0 installed is there some addon to D/L ?
In advance Thanks :o)
Reaper you are a God!!
Thank you so very much for all of this!
mmm tryed to re-update mangos database.

would be great if you could provide several other mirrors to download WoW Mangos…
just upgraded but items aren’t be able to receive normal gems, only meta
Would it be to much if i ask you to host it in other host site like rapidshare?
Megaupload simply block all my country attempts to download…
Cool! Thanks again man!
