Mangos 4602, ScriptDev2 145 with Unified Database 0.7.5 CS319 work with WoW 2.1.3 to 2.2.3
Posted by Reaper-X Oct 15 2007 6:47 pm
Time for another Mangos release again :) … this time the Mangos revision used is 4602 with ScriptDev2 145, and as a warning that although you can play it using WoW Client version 2.2.x (such as WoW 2.2.0, 2.2.2, and 2.2.3), but it’s still not officially supported, so expect something to behave strange for example, hidden teleport in Orgrimmar when you are using WoW 2.2.x client. Although there’s already a fix for it, but since i prefer to distribute a clean compiled version without adding custom patch (such as database, script, mangos core), i decided not to include it :)
Things to note in this version :
1. I decided not to include the Project Silvermoon Database because Project Silvermoon Database website is down (it has been several days if i remembered it correctly)
2. No custom vendor on GM Island (because this is using Unified Database only, and custom vendor which is available on GM Island can only be found in Project Silvermoon database)
3. As for feeding pet … i’m not to sure on how to test it (seriously, because i never play on official server, though i wish i could play too)
That’s it … and now here are the steps :
Requirements :
Update : Reaper Mangos 4629 with ScriptDev2 150 and Dual Database has been released :)
1. MySQL (link to my previous post on how to install mysql)
2. Mangos + Database :
Mangos 4602 + Scriptdev2 145 with Unified Database 0.7.5 Changeset 319 | 9.36 MB | MegauploadMangos 4602 + Scriptdev2 145 with Unified Database 0.7.5 Changeset 319 | 9.36 MB | Rapidshare
Optional :
- DBC Files extracted from WoW 2.2.3 enUS Client | 2.59 MB (if you prefer the easiest way without extracting the DBC Files first by yourself)
Fresh Installation Guide (follow this if you’re planning on installing Mangos for the first time) :
1. Extract Maps, Vmaps and dbc files from WoW Client
2. Extract the self extracting archive somewhere, or you can just simply run it and choose to extract into the current directory (don’t worry it’ll create the ReaperMangos4602 folder automatically)
3. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat inside the reaper-eazy-mangos directory / folder, and you’ll be greeted with this screen, and all you have to do is just write the full path to your mysql installation directory (or where mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe can be found) ;)
4. After finished writing the full path to your mysql installation directory, now you just need to choose option #1 to install the database for you and when prompted for your root password, you just need to write your mysql root password (remember the mysql installation ?) ;)
5. After finished with the above process, now you just need to choose option #4, and adjust each option accordingly (the most important thing is your Datadir location)
6. Now you need to go into your World of Warcraft Installation directory and open the realmlist.wtf file using notepad and then change these lines :
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com
into :
set realmlist 127.0.0.1
7. Now run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe
8. The first thing you should do of course create a new account for you, and this can be done by typing create username password in the mangosd window as shown on below image
But a normal account can be boring of course, so we need to configure our username to be a GM, and this can be done by simply typing setgm username 3 (the highest level of course, so you can do anything you want in your server) :P … and done :)
Upgrading from 4577 or below version (note: i only test it from Mangos 4488++ so if you’re using any version lower than 4488, i can’t give you any support)
1. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat, and then go with option #99 and wait until finished
2. Then choose to backup your database
3. After finished with the backup process now you just need to choose the first option to install the database
4. Now you just need to choose the restore option
5. For the last step you just need to continue with configuring datadir (If you’re using ReaperMangos4577 previously, you just need to copy the previous mangosd.conf and realmd.conf into ReaperMangos4602 directory and done) :)

Wow, what is is? Three days since you got this up? A lot of posts. Congratz.
BTW i was wondering about your custom weapon. I have the program that allows me to alter my server files, Navicat Lite, and i know where the weapons are, and i can probably make my own, but i am not sure what all the columns mean. I have messed around with it a bit in the past, but could you help and post/send something that explains what all the columns are for?
Thanks
boldspud,
what simon said too is also true if you may have moved them, but if you followed reaper-x’s instrucions you should have DBC, VMaps, Maps, and Building folders in your wow folder, you need to make sure that the extractors are placed in the correct folders. If the extractors are not in the proper folders the files will not be extracted
Jordavious
You could try a windows search for the folders to make sure they didn’t end up somewhere you were not expecting. “VMAPS” must be a fairly unique folder name.
boldspud,
from experience normally that happens when you dont have a fresh install of WoW and TBC when you go to extract all the need files.Look up a few posts about what i said to Skerci. If you dont have a fresh ver of WOW and TBC uninstall WoW then reinstall everything
Jordavious
So does anyone know what I’m doing wrong? Again, I’m not getting any results of any kind when I do the three extraction processes. I’m following the directions and getting all the same finished messages at the end of the scripts, but not finding and new folders like vmaps, maps, or dbc. Thanks in advance!
Simon,
Yes, that is perfectly fine, just send me a email to jordavious@yahoo.com or thebloodthurst@yahoo.com requesting some instructions on how to set up and use Quice. I don’t want to post the instructions here since Quice doesn’t pertain to the subject of Mangos 4602, ScriptDev2 145 with Unified Database 0.7.5 CS319 work with WoW 2.1.3 to 2.2.3. so anyone who would like how to use quice you can email me.
Thanks,
Jordavious
Hi Jordavious. I read you are using Quince. I just downloaded it and would be really chuffed if I could badger you for those instructions you mentioned. Would that be okay?
Jason,
if you send me your email to
thebloodthurst@yahoo.com or jordavious@yahoo.com i will be more then willing to send you a detailed email on how to set up quice and how to use it. Quice is a very easy program to use and learn how to use.
Jordavious
Jordavious,
The program I downloaded is just called TBC Item Creator, confusing to use and understand. However I did download Quice but I don’t know how to set it up? Any help would be great.
Thanks Jason
Skerci,
Technically i believe that the system message is considdered a world chat. if that is so then you can only change it in the mangos sorce. and you can only do that by compiling mangos yourself. This might be a difficult task for you if you dont have any experience with programming(c++, vb.net) but there are instructions on how to do that at mangosproject.org, i would explain it to you hear but i dont think reaper-x would appreciate that.
feel free to email me,
Jordavious
Jason,
what is the name of the item creator, the only tools that i have used to make custom ites is Quice, and SQLyog. If you use one of those the program saves the item right to the db that you created or modified it in, if your using a program that doesnt connect to MYSQL then you are going to have to import that .SQL file into you weapon_template table. NOTE: you have to make sure that the item that you created doesnt have the same ID # as another item, if you try inserting a new item into the db with the same ID # as another item, the new item that you are inserting will over wright the original item that cause some problems for you in the long run, i always make the item #’s rediculously high so that the ID#’s wont clash. But to import the item into your database your going to have to use a SQL editor, i suggest MYSylog, once you have a SQL editor you can just go to your DB(i think its mangos by default) right click on what ever you named your mangos db and click import batch file and find the sql file that you made and import it. Its way easier to make items if you just use Quice, that program automatically inserts the item into your db
good luck,
jordavious
ok then I try to do something but one more question about that ingame message system message with .announce how can I make this my nick message thank Jordavius
Hey,
I found an Item creator but I don’t know where to place the items once they’re done. It saves them to .sql format but where do I place the .sql. Any help would be grand.
Thanks Jason
Skreci,
The only thing left that i can say to look into is, are you useing Reaper-x’s extractors that came with this repack, if not make sure that they are compatible with TBC. The fact that you said that the 3 things i metioned are correct has me a little stumped, those are the only 3 reasons in 1+ years of working with magos that would fix your problem. If none of these things that i have metioned dont help please email me at thebloodthurst@yahoo.com i would like to help you figure this out.( i hate not knowing whats wrong, i always have to have thigs work right)
good luck,
Jordavious
ahh damn but I yesterday re-installed my WoW and TBC what a hell is goin on omg I re-installed the server too and nothing :( and one more question in game when I writing soemthing with .announce I always see system message how I change it my name??
Skreci,
What i mean by fresh install is make sure that the wow folder that you extracted from wasnt a copy of the original wow folder, when your extracting files from a copy of the original folder is where you can experience problems. If all the 3 Things that I mentioned are correct, then MaNGOS doesnt have the required DBC,Map, and VMap files to enable TBC, and that is why you would have to re-extract the files from a fresh wow client
Jordavious
Skreci,
Sorry i also forgot to metion that you have to have Expansion = 1 in the mangosd.conf file, if all 3 of those things are all right, then i would suggest extracting all the files again. also make sure that you have a fresh install of WOW and TBC, sometimes if you dont have a fresh install of the WOW clients the extractors wont work right.
Jordavious
and I hav bc enabled on my acc…. i created acc in mangosd.exe in the console with create name pass and setbc 1
damn but I have TBC installed my firneds tryed to make draenyers or bloodelfes they still can’t too ;((((
Jason,
Making weapons, armor, trinkets, rings, basically any item all you need is the program Quice http://wowps.org/forum/showthread.php?p=8627
Its a very simple program to use, all you have to do is tell Quice how to get to your database :server address, username, password, and what data base you want to edit (incase you run more then one server like i do). once you connect to your database, for practice i would make a duplicate item then change the GUID of the duplicate so you dont change the stats of the original item.
Jordavious
if you need any help with quice you can email me at thebloodthurst@yahoo.com
Skreci,
The only way that you wouldn’t be able to use dranei or bloodelfs is 1.) you didn’t enable TBC on your account. 2.) you dont have TBC installed.
Jordavious
Merijn,
You need to go into your realmd database, go to the realmlist table, once you get to the realmlist table you can go to the name field and change the name to what ever you want
Jordavious
Hi reaper
I have 1 question: how can i change my realm name ??
greetings
Pls help me Reaper cuz I can’t make dranei or blooedelfes on my server I’m GM 3 I set my acc to bc and nothing I can’t tele to outland too pliz help me ;(

Actually im already using the latest 4617 mangos (2.2.3 official) with UDB 0.8, but i think i’d be best to wait a little while because currently silvermoon hasn’t released another update :)
Silvermoon is back up, maybe youl do a whole new package? ^.^ I realy do love these
Use the reaper-x-mangos.bat to change directory I mean{1.install 2.backup etc) and choose 4.
what u mean?
Lordkex use the reaper-x-mangos.bat to change your directory for mangos
Hey… when i try to use Mangos.exe it only says it cannot connect what does that mean?
thanks Peter I’m a bit newbie in server ownings sorry for my english :)
okay thanks peter I’ll check it out.
sorry for double post
i meant motd your required message
@ jason
the making of custom weapons is hard, if you are talking about making a “whole new weapon” then you will need a model maker, model viewer, and more, the easiest thing you can do though is use a existing template eg thunderfury and change the stats, you can do this with navicat and mysql but will take time to perfect and also takes a general understanding of how databases work, to get navicat you can go to http://www.navicat.com/download.html
be carful when you are doing this as editing things in the database may have unforseen curcumstances.
@ skreci
in the mangos command propt there is an option to use the command motd
so type as follows
motd
and one more question can you tell me how can I change system message to my nick word pliz
thnaks ;)
Hey Reaper,
What do you download to be able to make you’re own custom weapons cause I’d love to be able to solo black temple and other instance. Any info’d be great.
Thanks Jason
I’m using 2.2.3 patch version but I set my acc to expansion and nothing :/ can you help me with that problem ?
Hey, I don’t exactly know what I’m doing wrong. I followed your instructions for the three extraction processes exactly. Yet, when I looked in my World of Warcraft folder after that 2 hours process, there were no additional folders like vmaps or maps. It seems like the scripts did actually do anything…
Again, I don’t know what’s happening, but clearly I’ve done something wrong.
# Walshy
it seems your post got caught by the automatic spam filtering system im using on this web site (im sorry for this issue) .. and i just recovered it manually (thanks God i take a look at the spam zone, because usually i dont check the spam area)
as for your question about scriptdev
you’ll need to recompile scriptdev manually and also recompile the mangos core too :)
# xXWoWXx
Could you tell me what is your mysql version ? i’ve just tested it again and it worked just fine
# KompressR
Based from the PSDB 18.5 description, it seems that DB is based from core 4556 … which mean :D
if you’re going to use with this version (4602), you’ll need to import each available core update since 4557 and above :)
as a side note,
Mangos has just officially support the WOW 2.2.3 :) (just checked it today also there’s database update from UDB) … and that mean there’ll be another release soon / perhaps after few days since i just released this 4602 version ;)
ok so i’ve found an older guide for setting up a server on your site, and i’ve managed to succesfully import the psdb, then ran the 4594_item_template.sql update. it now gets past that error, and i can get on the server. however i still get quite a few errors while mangos loads up. two questions:
am i supposed to install all the updates from this one on for better compatibility? and if so, i don’t need to install any before this one?
secondly, am i supposed to install these updates before or after i install the database?
thanks for your help, you’ve makde it pretty easy to get this far anyways.
I need help on making my server public when i type the UPDATE ‘realmlist’ set ‘address’ ‘My Lan ip’ where ‘id’ =1 i get an error saying incorrect syntax plz use mysql manual that comes with the program to fix it. HELP ME PLZZZZ!
KrompressR:

This is a guide that show you how to update you database.
http://ps.eamped.com/mangos-database-discussion-vf3.html
This are numerous fixes for that particular database.
Reaper:
Is there anyway that I can update the scriptdev2 myself manually? Thx
ok well, while this sounds like a long painful process, is there a guide around anywhere on how to do that?
Thanks Peter – that will do ’til I can fix the spirit healers ;)
I did everything as directed for updating from 4577, and yes i did restore the character data with out any errors. when I got into the character selection screen everything looked normal but when I got on my character all the gear was missing along with all spells/abilities, I didn’t even have a hearthstone… Any clue why this happened and is there any way to restore them now?
@ simon
if you die you can use the .revive command in /guild/party/whisper and you will be auto ressed, as it surgest you cannot chat while dead but guild, party and whisper are not classed as “general chat”
@ will
i am not sure exactly how you set up portals but you can create objects and spwn them so try the .lookupobject command for eg Portal andd see what it comes up with and to move a vendor you will need mysql database editing progam eg navicat or mysqlyog and edit the database for the npc coordinates manually (this is by no easy thing to do so use caution) the reason they move back is when you restart the server or they die they will spwn in there database location and not there moved location.
Thanks for the save commands Reaper.
Death still an issue – anyone else have this problem who has found a solution?
pleasee some one help me oh before i forget it sucks when to are 65yrs old but ty reaper and and your team for taking all this time to do this for all of us i got two questions for anybody that could help me out how do i setup a portal say from undercity to shattrath and how do i setup or get the creatures vendors to stay were i move them pleaseee help ty
# KompressR and Raptos
well if you prefer to use another database (not the one included), you need to execute / import each core update manually :)
# Skreci
Which version you’re using ? i believe i’ve already set TBC to be used by default
