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

So Datatir is 200
And it doesnt finish my makevmaps_Smiple,maybe thats the problem? i Forgoted 2 tell you
what’s the error message from the server.log ?
put the whole contents of your server.log with and without expansion set to 0 and 1 to
http://www.pastebin.ca
and it’ll take a look
also tell me where is the full path of your vmaps, maps, and dbc directory
and what is your datadir configuration
i tried the expansion thing aswell
i am sorry to bother you again,but i have tried it,i have tried almost everything,but it doesnt work :(
# Elathiel
ah you just need to write this command on your mangosd console window :
create testusername testpassword
and then to be a GM
setgm testusername 3
thats it :)
# Me
What’s the error message you get if you changed the expansion to 0 ?
yes i did but it still cant connect to the server when i use mangosd or realmd
Hey! I’m pretty new to all this stuff, but I installed MySQL and the Mangos 4535 and put the server up..
But how do I create the accounts so that I can log on to the servers? Haven been tryin to find an answer for hours, but I just have no idea! Please help! :)
# Curumim
Glad to know your server is working ;)
# Meh
Try disabling the expansion first and see if its work for you or not :)
# Magnus
No problem ;)
# xXWoWXx
after 2.1.3, you can upgrade to 2.2.0 and then upgrade to 2.2.2 or if you prefer to stick with 2.1.3 its also supported :)
Another question: i am reverting back to 2.1.3 so what’s the patch after 0.1.2 or whatever?
Thanks again Reaper, new file sure did the job now the xp rates etc work as they were intended too.
U ROCK!
Hello again :S. I reinstalled my maps again but it still doesnt work,i have the map 0004331 but mangos sais i dont have,i have expansion
Got the mistake I made. I only copied the update batch file and forgot to get all the other files in place. All working now.
Cheers!
# Troy
Well if tom pack using the extracted map files from 2.1.3 it should be fine :)
# Mike2
I can talk to stormwind city guard asking for directions and it works just fine (look at the screenshot at below link) :)

# xXWoWXx
Actually the rest of the step is just the same of the upgrade process which is listed above it :)
with the only exception you don’t need to backup your character first ;)
# Me
Did you put the correct path to your mysql bin directory location when asked ?
First of all Reaper, thanks a lot for putting all this info together and answering our questions. I do hope you’re getting some cash from sponsors for all this trouble!

(…) run WoW and it says that “unable to validate Game version” (…)
************************
Similar problem here. did the update process as mentioned above (I installed 4524 from scratch and it was working well before the patch, though glitches in Outlands made a few invisible mobs have the wrong model and behave oddly) . After that I just added a few items I created to item_template. Started Mangos and Realmd and they worked. Realmd reports my WoW connecting, but I get the same message as Mike. Mangos and realmd do not crash though, they keep working and taking new connections, but the error persists…
Not really i am having the same thing but, i just did the “fresh installation” instead so try that either that or maybe it’s supposed to say that but i don’t get what to do on step 3 for the fresh start so reaper, please help me dude ;).
whenever i try to start reaper-x-mangos and do the Install/upgrade after i put in the password(i know its correct) it says ‘mysql’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. Any idea what i should do?
I am having a weird problem. I have no cache folder in my Warcraft folder and i have no dbc folder in my wow folder so.. help me idk what to do and i am getting mad. Also the last step of the “fresh install” please. I am a noob i just wanna be god at wow :D help me please! Thanks-
TJ
Hey,
Was just doing some more testing and found that when you talk to a stormwind city guard (asking for directions) it crashes.
Hey,
I have a problem where my server crashes randomly every 30 or so minutes and gives me an error “mangosd.exe has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program”
Please don’t tell me its because I’m using 2.2, it took me so long to setup.
posted on the 4505 page. Solved my issue there, just wanted to know if i’m using a compiled pack ie. tompack, then do I have to use a diff map extractor, or can I just keep the same and use the diff. dbc file extractions that you’ve provided? thx tons
solved my problem.:)
Hi,
I’ll assume you mean add.exe that’s in the tool dir\MapExtractor.
I,m using the latest version of mangos (4535)-new install 2.2.2
I,m also using Vista with 1024 mb mem (A bit to tight for confort maybe)
also I noticed that the second time all the npc’s WHERE in their place but before I could walk to stormwind city it crashed again.
If I do have the wrong version (add.exe) where can I get the new one and which version is it.
When I run my makevmaps_SIMPLE it doesnt end in “press any key to continue.” I get “C:\program files\world of warcraft\vmap_assemble.exe buildings vmaps splitconfig.txt” is this what I should have at this point? I have let it run for over an hour and nothing changes.

Sigh,still doestn find the map 0004331
Answer:
I know exactly your problem , download an Ad.exe , if you got EnGB version of wow search for and AdGB.exe . you currently installed Antrix or/and Ascent maps.

realmd and mangosd work and Wow starts!
But they say : magos process priority class set to high.
WoW kick’s me out after 5 min, but maybe that’s a memory thing?
And I noticed in elwynn forest that there are no npc’s and creatures also stormwind city is completely emty.?
Is most of this stuff just waiting until a new version of mangos arives ?
Answer:
… Same problem as Meh. you got the wrong map’s extracted, because te in the “map” file all NPC’S are in it. do the instructions as above and you can pwn stormwing ;D
Also I wanted to say I greatly appreciate this program and the efforts of the programmer, This is just fucking great!!!!
Thanks and kudos to Reaper-X

and my MPQ file seems perfectly fine . If it isnt how can i tell.
even if i disable th expansion it still doesnt work
Sigh,still doestn find the map 0004331
I have run the reaper-x-mangos and configuered my mangos (option 4). I close this out once I was done. I opened up realmd and mangosd, run WoW and it says that “unable to validate Game version” and I noticed that my mangosd cmd prompt was no longer open as well. I am very confused now lol.
if you’re sure you’ve installed the expansion correctly, then you just need to extract the maps and wait until it finished :)
some people are having problem with their expansion.MPQ file being corrupted, and if you’re experiencing the same issue, the only solution is to uninstall WoW completely and then reinstall it
or you can try the disabling the expansion map by changing that expansion line into 0 (of course you can’t visit any maps that’s based from the expansion)
Im having the same problem as Meh but i have the expansion. What should i do.
hi,
Thats it!!
changed Expansion = 1 into 0
And it works.
I can feel I,m allmost there
Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Awesome Thank you.
One last question.
1. Copy the dbc files included overwriting previously extracted DBC Files
does that mean copy the dbc from the 4535 mangos and overwrite the dbc files in C:\mangos\data?
or should i just run the reaper-x-mangos.bat
# Mike
yep you can just update into 4535 right away (just run reaper-x-mangos.bat and do the rest) ;)
I started with the tutorial for Mangos 4488. Can i update right to 4535 or do i need to do any others first?
# Niisse
Well .. since i never tried the enGB version, and it’s impossible for me to download it with just max 40 Kilobytes / s download speed .. i can’t tested it .. :( .. im sorry
# Akabeth
Try choosing the first option from the batch file provided to install the database first ;)
# Anonymous
I just checked and i can see that column without problem (this is the test database used before distributing my release)
# applejack
Actually it’s easy, you just need to use the old copy command from command prompt ;)
# Kenji
I assume that you’ve configured everything previously, now first you need to check that if the realmlist ip already set to use 127.0.0.1 (you can do it using the batch file) ;)
# Mike
I can guess that its still not finished yet, or you can try compiling mangos by yourself :)
# Meh & Tony, and other who’s having problem with 04331.map
If you dont have the expansion installed, first i’d suggest you to open mangosd.conf
change
Expansion = 1
into
Expansion = 0
Using configuration file mangosd.conf.
MaNGOS daemon /0.8-SVN (Win32)
to stop.

Heya again,thanks for the help,i got the server running and i was able 2 loggin,but today when i came home ,i started mysql but my mangosd doesnt work now … -_-. check exsisting of map file 200/maps/0004331.map : Not exist !.Any ideas?
Does anyone know where i can get the scripts to make the bosses(mostly raid bosses) work right. Its just a whole lot more epic if the bosses behave like they would on a blizz server.
Reaper great tutorials, helped me get my first database running after getting it from somwhere else ;)
Issue im having is i Just upgraded with your batch wich all went very smoothly excepting i had to re install sql (my pc got wiped). But to the point, my pc wont connect to the server anymore, i get to the point where i should be creating a character and it just repeatedly goes back to a window with the realm list no matter how many times I click it, I’ve disabled the firewalls on both pc’s and have checked to make sure im not loosing any packets. Any ideas?
ok i just updated to 4535 and i got to the last part running mangosd and realmd
when i opened mangos this is what i got

Reaper-
Yeah, I guess that would be about right. I’ve kind of taken on to compiling my own source and so far the most recent I’ve been able to take on error free is Mangos4479 – ScriptDev2Rev134 – SilvermoonDBRev18. However, I’d like to be able to take on all the ‘patch’ sqls’, in order of course, and load them as a bulk file rather than one at a time. Or would I just be better off piecing them in as needed?
You’re going to need this patch as well (mangosd will tell you that item_template doesn’t have enough columns):
ALTER TABLE `item_template`
ADD COLUMN `spellppmRate_1` float NOT NULL default ‘0′ AFTER `spellcharges_1`,
ADD COLUMN `spellppmRate_2` float NOT NULL default ‘0′ AFTER `spellcharges_2`,
ADD COLUMN `spellppmRate_3` float NOT NULL default ‘0′ AFTER `spellcharges_3`,
ADD COLUMN `spellppmRate_4` float NOT NULL default ‘0′ AFTER `spellcharges_4`,
ADD COLUMN `spellppmRate_5` float NOT NULL default ‘0′ AFTER `spellcharges_5`;
Never mind, I got everything to work I just notice some errors with npc’s not moving and my face not showing up on the character tab and on the character bar.
Hey i did all of the steps and is says error when i try 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}
Suplement last post..
Because I think the reason it doesn’t work
is because of windows vista’s compatibility files (the way the system makes you think that you creating files in c:program files\ but exually puts the files, or some of them in a different directory.
Lol “my next Tier of questions”
Do you need every patch created for WoW to stop mangosd.exe giving errors.?
Errors like:
Unknown world database, place maps and vmaps in approprate directory (While I configured the right path),Can’t find a certain map like 0004331.map.
Or is this a Windows Vista problem?
Also I noticed that while extracting maps it says error opening archive /data/expansion.mpq Is that because I don’t have burning crusade installed and is it harmfull.?
ALso are there more posters who experience this and if you are, are you using windows Vista by any change.?
Yes, my password for this matter is also “root”
And I’m certain of it.
I did try to change the user;password in realmd and mangos.conf to match that and also use default mangos;mangos username and password. Both won’t work…
I’ve posted the log in the reaper-x forums too.
http://forums.reaper-x.com/topic/wow-private-server-problems?replies=2
Hopefully that explains
Its not working to change the enUS to enGB but i try install a US version of the game instead. It takes much time to install and download it, so if you got any other suggestion to fix the extracter on other way it would be very kind :)
If you write any anwer too me ill check it tomorrow then cuz i gotta sleep …
Thx for your help
