Mangos 4629, ScriptDev2 150 with Silvermoon 18.5 and UDB 0.8 323 support 2.2.3
By Reaper-X on Oct 23, 2007 in Freeware, Reaper Mangos, Software
Another Mangos release time, and this time i choose to include two database again (Unified Database 0.8.0 Changesets 323 and Project Silvermoon 18.5) unlike my previous Mangos 4602 release so you can choose which database you like best :)
Other than that, in this new release it’ll only support WoW 2.2.3 Client only because Mangos has officially support the 2.2.3 client (which mean there won’t be any er. So to those who are still using the old WoW 2.1.3 client, you’ll need to upgrade your WoW client first into patch 2.2.3 :)
As an important note, if you want to upgrade safely from any previous release (especially from my old 4488, 4505, 4524 release, etc). Make sure to copy the backup file (backup-db.sql and backup-realmd.sql) from the reaper-eazy-mangos directory into somewhere else first, so if anything goes wrong at the upgrade process you can still restore it (although i’ve done everything possible to make sure you don’t lose your character data)
And here are on how to use it :
Requirements :
1. MySQL and it’s install guide
Update : Mangos 4651 has been released … and i’d suggest you to grab the new version instead ;)
2. Reaper Mangos 4629 with the Database (15012 KB) :
Reaper Mangos 4629 | ScriptDev2 150 | UDB 0.8 323 & PSDB 18.5 | RapidshareReaper Mangos 4629 | ScriptDev2 150 | UDB 0.8 323 & PSDB 18.5 | Megaupload
Fresh Installation :
1. Extract the self extracting archive somewhere (or you can also choose to extract to current directory) and don’t worry it’ll automatically create ReaperMangos4629 folder for you :)
2. And then you’ll need to extract Maps, VMaps, and DBC files from your WoW 2.2.3
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 (and no it’s not your mysql.com account password) ;)
5. Now you’ll need to choose option number 99 as shown on below image
6. After finished with the above process, now you just need to choose option #4, and adjust each option accordingly (as a side note, the most important thing is your datadir location)
7. 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
8. The first thing you should do of course run the mangosd.exe and realmd.exe and 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 :)
as a side note, if you can’t choose Blood Elves or Draenei, then you just need to type setbc username 1 at the mangosd window ;)
and here’s a screenshot taken using Unified Database
Upgrading from 4602 Release :
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 (or you can copy the previous mangosd.conf if you’re upgrading from 4577++ and already have the DBC files extracted from WoW 2.2.3) :)
Upgrading from 4577 Release :
1. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat, and then go with option #98 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. After finished restoring your data, now you just need to choose option #99
6. For the last step you just need to continue with configuring datadir (If you’re using ReaperMangos4577 previously, or you can just simply copy the previous mangosd.conf and realmd.conf) :)

put link to AMD one plz!
hey i just got this latest one and its awesome!:) but i still cant get it online...it never works....i got the no-ip.com thing and its set up in the .bat but when other people try to get on it just says "cant connect"
good job reaper very nice :)
its me agian ,and im trying this and its not loading up the maps again, it keeps okin for enGB files and i dunno where to change them from plz help
Thanks for the update! It all worked out beautifully. <3
But I still don't have any weather. D:
It is definitely enabled, and I checked the interval too, which should be okay.
The .wchange command does not work.
Now, I am wondering if the weather system has to be started at MaNGOS startup?
It does say it loads the weather definitions, but I can't see any message like "WORLD: Starting weather system"
Should that be there, though?
It may seem odd to be going on about a detail that does not affect the actual game play but to me these effects contribute about 20% of the fun, so I'd be really extremely happy to learn of a solution.
Many thanks either way!
great new guide!
Nice work as always.
You totally ROCK :)
I changed from UDB to Silvermoon and now I do have my weather back! :D
... But the Silvermoon database does not seem to work so well with WoW 2.2.3
On startup and character loadings it gives me scary messages about not finding locations and spells and deleting them.
Well, I simply wanted to update you (or anyone interested) about this. Perhaps people other than me have weather issues too?
THANK YOU! REAPER = GOD!
reaper, post the AMD one for me
Thank you very much everyone :)
# Sully
Try using this one, and let me know ;)
# confused
First you need to make sure that port 3724 isn't blocked by your firewall, also if you're behind router, you'll need to set up some port forwarding rules too especially on port 3724 and 8085 (or any other port you used if 3724 gets blocked);)
# Chris
Ah you'll need to edit the .bat file inside the dbc extractor and replace the enUS into enGB :)
# Phen
Haven't tried that one yet but i'll test it later when i have fully recovered :)
as a last note, i'm really sorry if there are any other questions left unanswered because currently i'm not feeling too well / sick for about 3 days now and need to get some rest
I know reaper = god but, some issues. I cant make ANY tier vendors on psdb and i cant trade the gladiator gear vendor or this other 1 =P And 1 that's allied called " Destiny Tier " Please help if possible. Thanx =D
Ah! Poor you! Be sure to get well again before you do anything at the computer.
I hope you'll feel better soon!
Best wishes~!
I installed, and it works! Except for TBC. I'm not able to create and Blood Elf or Dranai characters. I'm also not able to go into outland. It says I need to have TBC installed, which I do. Any ideas? Oh and the allow server to use expansion content is enabled.
How should i decide which database to use?
what are the main differences? and Thanks Alot
Everything work nice, but im lost all my custom shops and everything what i made in game. And still GM island is whithout vendors like in Mangos 4602 release.
Any suggestion here?
yeah i lost all my custom objects and vendor\creature spawns not sure if i did something wrong or if thats going to happen everytime i update to latest version
youthink this one might work? i doubt it but i will try this week
you would need to back up the item and vendors table if you dont want them removed when you update (the installer will remove them)
all I want to know is how the hell did you get those databases? there huge I know you didnt make them or were they like farmed from the server? I'm interested in these kinds of things. O_o?
Yeah I have the same problem with the error:0 thing, how do I remove the sql from the 3306 port its using, I suppose it's caused from the older mangos I used?? How to get that out the way to make way for this new MySQL? Thanks.
Thanks for all your work on this! One question on the upgrade procedure above. I'm currently running 4535. Can I upgrade to 4629 directly, or do I need to go to 4577 first in order to use your batch file above. (Opt 98, then Opt 99)
I'm currently running the 2.1.3 client too, so I'll have to upgrade that side as well...
Thanks again for your help!
Joe, Unfear:
If you create custom items, vendors or teleport locations (or anything else) you have to export the relevant data from the database before you update, and re-import it again afterwards.
This is fairly easy if you use a database client like Navicat.
For example, I created custom items: They are stored in the items_template table. I export them into a TXT file, delete all items from it that I did not make, and use the import function on my TXT file after the update is fully finished.
The only challenge is to find out in which table your information is stored so that you can export it, but that only involves a little searching.
I don't think you can recover your customs if you never backed them up, but I am not exactly an expert.
I hope this helps for the future at least.
Reaper
Very nice job as always, one thing that i ask, can you include the ah bot patch in your next repack. Im sure alot of people not including me would like to have a ah bot for their server.
Thanks,
Jordavious
Hello,
I have a problem with installin data base. When I running 1 option (installation) and when i choosed
witch database to install, it starts to install but... Might i have something with my comp becouse during the installation the progress stops.
showing me many-many numbers. i was waiting 1 hour
but nothing happen. I was playing with mangos 4577 but higher releses make same thing.. allways stop during importation of database..
I dont know what do to couse i had allways 1min database installed.
Any advice?
Thank you so much
Big Glog (named enemy in SW)
I notice today a whole load of level 70 enemies in Stormwind at the entrance. These appear not to be in "official WOW" nor can I find any mention of them on Project Silvermoon. Yet they are there.
Has anyone else had these? Maybe a Halloween joke?
(Running 4629 Project Silvermoon DBC)
Simon
i keep getting "This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found"
ive re-installed but still get the same thing when i try to run 'mangosd' and 'realmd'
All installation worked fine but when I started WoW I got critical error "Interface.MPQ" not found. Never had this problem with previous releases. Anyone knows where I can find this MPQ file?
all those are done..on my router and firewall but it still doesnt work
i did that and the map extractor isnt working at all
Thanks Phen and sully i will do that next release
for now i just have to rebuild my house:P and my friends houses
alrite now when i am making custom objects i log on the next day and there gone or the next hour
i think its related to this from mangos "SQL-logging is disabled - Log file for the SQL commands could not be openend: 20007-10-23_logsql.sql"
Thanks for the help
oops thats a 2007 not 20007 and by custom objects i mean objects from the game added where i want ex. .lookupitem tree .addgo one of the code that came up for tree then i log on later and its not there and i am sure i am looking in the right spot cause i added a tele
hey sorry for all the posts in a row i can get the
the objects i added to show up if i edit the game objects table in the database and change the value for animprogress from 0 to 100 for each custom object every time i add a object i get the error message from 2 posts above on the mangos for now i can just keep editing the file thanks a lot if anyone has a solution
couple questions.
1. when i tried used the psdb with a previous release i had to apply a bunch of updates from the updates folder to get rid of a bunch of errors. are these updates already integrated when using your installer?
2. is scriptdev also automatically integrated? if not, is it just a matter of importing the scriptdev databases?
thanks.
How do i import custom items?
You have to change the extract.bat like this
@echo off
mpqe /d "." locale-enGB.MPQ *.dbc
mpqe /d "." patch-enGB.MPQ *.dbc
mpqe /d "." patch-enGB-2.MPQ *.dbc
ren DBFilesClient dbc
pause
GL
I need HELP PLZ i got everything done but when i try to run the mangosd.exe and realmd.exe it says cannot connect to database help would be loved very much please and thank you
dan make sure you set the port on mysql to i think
its 3306 somehow when i first installed it it was 3307
yeah i fixed the problem...though now i seem to be getting a different problem (related to the vmap files) that i posted on that guide
First of all, I would like to thank for the great wwork so far, really helps and makes a rather complicated process easy lol. Secondly, I would like to know whether it would be possible to provide a guide on how to establish a Ascent database using the NCDB Milestone database. I did some some research and aparently it is the best. Just interested lol.
I'm really sorry for late reply because i've been sick for the past 4 days (in my local time GMT+7 of course) .. and still not fully recovered yet :(
# Sully
Actually i've changed the compilation options this time (which also going to applies to the next release) to make sure it's working on your machine too :)
# Unfear, and Joe
As Phen said, that if you already created custom items, you'll need to backup it first (btw i also use custom items as you can see on the screenshot) but i always make sure to backup the custom data
# KompressR
1. Yep, otherwise mangos won't even run at all because of the new database structure (for example like error in creature_template table) :)
2. Of course, i always make sure to integrate the scriptdev2 :)
# xXWoWXx
if you already created the sql file for that custom item, you just need to type :
mysql -umangos -pmangos -D mangos < your_custom_item_filename.sql
that's it :)
# WaveMaster
Ah ... you'll need to wait for the vmaps extraction to complete (it'll take a while depending on your computer specs, from 45 minutes to 2 hours or probably more)
*Meant to say a Acsent Core, lol.
hey, the map extracotr isnt working, i said this before bu got no reply to what i was asking....the ad exe, and the extractor itslef arent working.....i tried all teh ad.exe uve posted and none fo tehm work culd u pls tell me the problem ty
i meant the solution, i ahve everything upto date i have all the files where ur guide tells em to put them and nothing is happeneing just an empty map folder, it always says that its habving an error opening the patch files and crap like that
yeah...i was only getting like 2615 of the vmap files...i think i know what i did wrong, just not sure
i was kinda confused about the C:wow\data\ thing.. That means i open the drive HP_PAVILION and make a new folder called WoW, then put a folder in that called data right?
as for fixing the vmap problem (just re-extracted it and finally got all the files) the first 2 times i did that..i was being impatient and thought it had froze at the end =\ so i shut them to early..
after which i let it run all the way though and got an error (cant remember what it was called) but i didnt have the Map folder or the DBC folder with it (they were in the WoW/data/ folder)im guessing that was the problem because when i placed them back where they were extracted from and re-ran the vmap file it worked (no errors)
so im all set for now...ill have to put them back in C:\WoW\data and see if the mangosd will run properly =)
great guides BTW...without them id have no idea what im doing XD
thanks joe ill try that after school
Hi,
Just wanted to say that mangos 4602 works with VISTA.
Hoooooooray!
OK i checked out the ports theyre all 3306 and im still being told that mangosd and realmd cant connect wat do i do i dont even know if i go tthe path to them right anyone got a pic of that part when u gotta do the path would probly help me make sure i did that part right i g2g to school be back later thank u for the help
Dan-bulfon,
I don't know how much knowledge you have about things so I,m gonna type things step for step.
First of all if your using vista, turn user account control off, you do this by going to search which is in start and type: account, go to user account and you see a option there to turn it off.
Also when you don't have burning crusade you must specify that in the mangosd.conf by opening it with your notepad and turn the line Expansion = 0 into 1.
Also! :(
Best way is to put the three extracted maps in something like this --> c:\wowmaps
Then when you choose option 4 in mangos you type c:\wowmaps
You can also check if MySQL is working by going into the command prompt, and then type mysql -u root -p
If its working you get something like welcome to mysql monitor.
If not then go trough to the config wizard trough start menu.
yeah, so i got everything set up but i have a question
the outland mobs dont drop anything,how might i change that?
Dan-bulfon,
oops.
I mean turn Expansion 1 into 0
thanks, i will let you know how it turns out
Firstly, thank you reaper for your awesome guide!
I have managed to set up the servers and everything is running smoothly
I am curious if there is any way to enable flying in Azeroth?
a quick google didnt turn up much.
It would be a most excellent feature!
again, many thanx for your awesome guides!
To clear thinks up a bit more about vista.
Every version of mangos works with vista, because now I realise that vista needs an inredible amount of memory to work with, at least 2 gig. Since I have one gig, mangos is sweating like Gary glitter in bankok hilton.
That's why the database probarly can't keep up with wow.
Reaper,
When trying to extract the DBC files Im getting the error can not locate file SFmpq.dll even though its in the directory.
SiegeLink
ive tryed wat u said SiegeLink and it still says cannot connect to sqlDatabase and when i try to use reaper eazy mango it only copies one file ill take a screen shot and figuer out how to post it after
i cant start mangosd beacuse this error keeps popping up

hey its me again . . . your third screenshot doesnt seem right for the install . . . after you put in the root PW it goes directly to which database do you want to install . . . also, why do i have to go to 99 for a fresh install?
i just tried this out again with a new fresh install of MySQL and i still cant get it to work . . . it stops at a bunch of numbers while importing the database. i would really appreciate some help on this because I really want this to work, and this is my last resort for my forum post has gone unanswered for the past week :'(
im out of ideas, i just want to know what to do
basically it goes through a whole bunch of numbers . . . stops . . . a whole bunch of numbers . . . stops forever
Once again reaper your my god =DDD
Is there anyway to get new halloween stuff like the headless horseman to work.
Hey reaper, thanks for the guide ive been workin on turning my old emachine into a server for fun. I couldnt find your email so i figured id just post this on the page you mighr check first.
I followed the sql guide then this guide so i have Reaper Mangos 4629, ScriptDev2 150, PSDB 18.5 setup and configured properly on my computer for a "LAN party" i just went into the sql and have the relmd set to 192.168.1.104. which is my emachines ip address on the router. Now, i actually play WoW on my macbook.. so i went into my macbooks wow and set it up with 192.168.1.104. and wirelessly i can log onto the server on my emachine. so that works great =D.
to to my question..i what to whatismyip.com on my emachine got my ip address. (which i noticed is the same for my macbook and emachine and any other computer in my house...)
so, according to your guide the ONLY thing i need to do is change my 192.168.1.104 realm to my.inter.net.ip so i did.
i went into sql using navicat AND using the command prompt and changed it... see...
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/bamabam/IMG_1053.jpg
so there it is with my online ip. so, now i get on my macbook and change the realmlist.wtf to the ip address and it just sits at connecting.
for the record during this process just to make things easier on the emachine i turned the windows firewall OFF and had it forwardign all the ports ive read on these pots ppl said need to be forwarded. then i turned the firewall off.
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/bamabam/Picture1.png
there is a screenshot of my router forwarding (i dont know how to take screenshots on pcs lol thats why the first one of my emachine was a dig pic from my camera.)
so after i change it in sql and changeing the realmlist.wtf to my internet ip i go into WoW type my info on my macbook and i get "Unable to Connect" at the wow login screen. when im in a browser and type in my internet ip it takes me to my router. YES my internet IP does this. so does 192.168.1.1 which is my router ip. is that normal? and should i do anything to the realmd.exe? as yo ucan see when it starts up it still has the 127 ip in it. sigh, im just confused and want to be able to have a friend or 2 log on from their houses and i THINK i did exactly what your guide said im guessing you just left something out. Thanks for the guide is been a lot of help and if you can answer this that would be great.. in a second im gonna post some major bugs ive found and see if you know any fixes.
it wont let me post my second post for some reason > < it had some big bugs in it

reaper i got one question first i hope you fell better now but is there some other added program like projectmoon has the gms vendors i have seen other private servers how they have it set up or no and once again ty for all of this
hello reaper
got soem wierd thign happening ewery time i try to make first fase with reaper-x-mangos.bat
and get do the point where i shuld type in my full path to mysql installation directory
pressing 1 inserting pass and next tignh message apears
whats with that or what shuld i do ??
some * XD
and message
" 'mysql' is not recognized as and internal or external command, operabel program or batch of file "
Siggy-
are you sure? how long did you wait? for me it took close to 10 minutes for the db to install (i installed the silvermoon one)and yeah...it did stop quite a few times...then start going again
Greetz....
Why does REALMD connects to a cz site ???? And after that more then one people tries to connect on the realm....
strange....
Hi, just a question, Reaper-X. I love your repack, it's really easy to setup and working no problem for me. Could you add this patch to your repack in future releases, it adds commands for modifying reputation, arena points and honor. You can get it at https://svn.mangosproject.org/trac/MaNGOS/ticket/2912 (svn://svn.uwom.de:3725/jail) or e-mail me and I'll send you the files.
And after that someone is trying to connect to youre sql databases.....
so plp be aware of any hackers :))
If that was reference to me, the link is to official Mangos website. I am no hacker, just want to help people to finally be able alter their arena points and reputation.
Not to you J.J. Roddy... like that update... And no no hackers but i just wanted to now why realm connect to a cz site ?
# bamabam
I'd suggest you to scan port 3724 using online port scanner to see if that port stealthed or opened (some people having port 3724 stealthed and if you got the same problem like that, try changing the realmd port into something else in realmd.conf :)
# wolcan
You'll need to write the full location of your mysql.exe (or where mysql.exe can be found) :)
# J. J. Roddy
Thanks for the suggestion, i'll try to use that one :)
# Dan-bulfon
Did you run the reaper-x-mangos.bat and choose the first option to install the database and create the proper user ? :)
# MAiki
Unfortunately i can't reproduce that, no connection made to the CZ site you mentioned (actually no outside connection were made from realmd)
Btw do you have any other program running ?
Gonna check again Reaper-X.. great package BTW...
gonna check for a screeny
sure it'll help a lot :D
btw i've tried checking with manual netstat /a command and with packet sniffer.
both of them still not showing a connection made to outside by realmd :)
Thanks for your great works and effort man .
It's work fine for me !
thanks for direction running mangos 4629
Another prob, i can't get my shield to work with a warrior.. Can't equip it...
Thx in advance
reaper
reaper

Hey Reaper,
After I installed and updated to this repack I still have the problem of talking to city guards and certain mobs, and mangosd crashing. Any way to fix or change scripts. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Jason
Hey reaper,
Very nice guide and so far it all worked great but when I go to use mangosed. It says it cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1. So far that is my only problem and I followed your guide directly to working this program. I miss a step?
Let me update. I spelled SQL wrong, so personal error and everything works fine as of now. Thanks for the guide reaper :D
Ok found one problem. Sorry if I am posting too much. Realmd when I push it so far is going on one hour. Do I exit after I push it or do I wait for something in particular. I did mangose first should i do a different order next time?
Please help me I need to know how to make a portal to Gurubashi Arena (I think it spells so) or how to make portals.
Ok last stupid comment. I promise. I now understand realmd. I just cant connect to my serner now. Pauses and then says unable to connect and I have it set up for my LAN party only. But it also didnt work for the single IP you had before. So any tips?
ok, thanks reaper, It worked!!!
I havent loggen in yet, but i am doing that now!!
and how do i make portals??
hey reaper ive been asking for ur help for a week now and ur refusing to help me, can u pls answer my questions.. first off, the ad.exe isnt working at all....and neither is the extracty maps thing and i did everyhtin u sid, but i still am getting an empty map folder, i leave u with that one for now when u answe that then ill ask u sumthing else
reaper you rock this was by far the best guide and file set i have used your guides made this super easy to do i have done a few wow servers before aswell as a few mu online and other servers. but never had such a clear exact guide to match the files thanx
hey reaper how do you patch stuff into mangos? like instance managers and stuf.
@chris
wow, you seem needy.. anyway uninstall and reinstall WoW TBC 2.2.3 then make sure you have 3 gigabites free on your computer, then do what the guide says
Hi not sure if some one has had this problem and gotten it fixed but here it goes all is set up i have used much earlyer versions and work but now when i go to log in i get to connected and booted instantly what do i do
o i am getting an authchallenge account josh is useing 'en' locale(0)
Sigh im so frustraited with this ive been putting so much time into trying to figure this out. ok so lemme tell you my trials...
first test- i unplugged the router and put i direct connect from my Emachine to the modem. i noticed my IP from whatismyip.com was dif for this thread ill say it was 68.xxx.xxx.A anyway then i got on my laptop, connected to my neighbors WLAN =D and then set my realmlist.wtf to the above IP and then logged on flawlessly no problem.
Second test- now i hooked my router back up and fyi i have my Emachine plugged into the router, My Macbook and my moms HP upstairs. So when its all hooked up to the router and i go to whatismyip.com on any of these computers they all share a 68.xxx.xxx.B IP address. (its not what it was when the Emachine was directly plugged in fyi) anyway is that normal that they all share the same ip if they are plugged in the router? so my emachines router ip is 192.168.1.106 SO when im setting up the forwarded ports i set them all to forward it to 106
see, http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/bamabam/Picture1.png
i did what you said and went to this "shields up site" and check 3724 port and it said it was the blizzard battle.net port anyway..it said its status was "stealth" i went to this site from my Emachine (thats the computer im trying to make the server)
sigh thanks so much i really appreceate your help sorry about the wall of text i just wanna make sure im not confusing you or making ir hard for you to know what the problem might be
Reaper,
I am having the same problem as Jason. Everything is working great in the 4629 build except for things that require a script interaction like talking to guards, mobs in MC and BWL that require talking to which triggers a script fight scene. When you talk to these NPC/Mobs, it crashes the Mangos server. Is there a fix or is this being addressed?
As always, thanks for the great repacks. You da man.
I'm having the same problem as Velen and I didn't see an answer. So, anyone know how to fix that?
Any body else having problems with spells?
Mage spell Blizzard - the animation indicates its working but Mobs take no damage and dont even aggro!
On another note: Are there any scripts for the instances?
hey reaper u email or post some pictures on wat it looks like if u get the database location file right im on that part and its not working and i wanna see wat it looks like when its done right mine says its only copying one file so i wanna make sure i think thats wats stoping my server from starting or me making an account
Fixed it, I'm just dumb and was linking the data file to C:\wow\data instead of C:\Program Files\wow\data
Hi, i have followed your guide and after 3 installation attempts i get the same results i can't figure out where i'm going wrong no errors what so ever through the whole process i execute wow.exe try to login with the account i created, it trys to connect for about 2 seconds then i get a message saying unable to connect, any help would be great about now.
Thanks.
If mobs don't aggro you might have your GM status on, turn it off by typing .gm off.
I just upgraded from 4602 to 4629 from the instructions in this article (above). As I was double checking myself, I saw that the reaper-x-mangos.bat stated this:
If you're upgrading from 4602 here's what you should do :
" choose backup -> install -> restore -> special [ 99 ] -> backup "
This is a different than what is stated in this article. Which is the correct action? Or do they both give me the same result?
Will someone help me!?! When I run the mangosd.exe it stops to : Could not find map file 0004331 :
And I can't extract them again because I can't find the extract-map.exe ! Please someone put a link so that I can download it! I want to play, but I can't! I need that file!
@ Hip-Hop
ad.exe and extract-map.bat should be in your Mangos/Tools directory, if you downloaded Reaper-X's package from the link at the beginning of the article (scroll up).
First of all, I would like to thank for the great work so far, really helps and makes a rather complicated process easy lol. Secondly, I would like to know whether it would be possible to provide a guide on how to establish a Ascent database using the NCDB Milestone database. I did some some research and aparently it is the best. Just interested lol.
I would like to know how exactly can one go about actaully activating an event in WoW, like the the beerfest among others. Thanks for the guide.
@sully...kk ive been asking for help foir a two weeks...and hes never responded me...i already did that and itdont work so..ya
the guide doesnt specify wqut to do if ad.exe doesnt work and thats the problem, it doesnt work....neither does the amp extractor
PDave~
do you have ".gm on" when you use blizzard on the mobs? mobs wont become aggro'ed if it is, and therefore whenever they take damage, they will automaticly revert back to full health
Critical~
i think someone posted a comment about activating events in the GM commands post.
ahh yes right here

Hello,
I am having a problem where people can log into my server, but the realm selection screen keeps poping up, before you can even pick a charecter.
I have done everything exactly as you have explained, but for some unknow reason I have this problem. I have opened ports 8085, 3724, 1400, 1401 and 7000 all UDP and TCP, on both the server and the user computer. Also is their away you can choose which ports mangos uses?
Thanks Reaper X
hey reaper how do you patch stuff into mangos? like instance managers and stuff.
# Sh@d0w
do you mean the realmd loop ? that problem usually appear because you didn't use the same address listed in realmlist table (in mysql) :)
for example, if you put yourdnsname.com as the realmlist address, then you'll need to tell your users to use that address too
or another example if you want to create / simulate a realmd loop (for lan that is also apply to internet) :
1. Set the realmlist ip address into 127.0.0.1
2. try accessing your server from lan by changing the realmlist.wtf file into your server lan ip address
3. you'll get in realmd loop :)
as for changing port, you can open the mangosd.conf (default 8085) and realmd.conf (default 3724)
but as a note, if you change the world port (the port used by mangosd.exe) then you'll also need to change the world port in your realmlist table in mysql :)

Actually if it's for me i use my linux box to patch something though my release is just a clean compile because i want to make sure it's easy to configure without any dependant to specific patch, or you can also do it by manually applying that patch to each file
am i being ignored on purpose?
Hey Reaper
Again, and again u management to create a new and excellent build, which works FIRST-TIME!!,if you only follow your excellent guide.
Just a few questions:
When ever i use the PSDB i can see the mangosd retrieves many errors. Unfornunate theres a limit for how far upward i can scroll in the list, so i can get an overview of the entire process.
1.) Can i somehow save the entire startup process to a file or to a print to identify which errors i recieve?
2.) How can i edit an item eg. Meat to have better stats? - i have installed Toad, and open the realmd database.. i'm a noob so i have no idear where / how to look.
Thnx again
hey reaper
u email or post some pictures on wat it looks like if u get the database location file right im on that part and its not working and i wanna see wat it looks like when its done right mine says its only copying one file so i wanna make sure i think thats wats stoping my server from starting or me making an account
(Email is dan-bulfon@hotmail.com)
heya, i posted earlier but you either deleted it or it dissapeared, anyhow
my computer will not open the map extractor, so i can't proceed. any idea's whats happening? (if you double click on the map extractor, or open it, the box just flashes up then goes)
/cry i see you didnt respond maybe im guessing it because you told me in the post 2 above if its stealthed to go in the realmd.config and try changing the port number. so by that do you mean open the file in notepad? and looking in the wall of text for something that says 3724 and just type any other 4 numbers there? then forward my router to that? i wasnt sure if there was another way i was supposed to edit that file. AND i didnt know what port i should change it to...does it mater? can i just pick any random 4 numbers? if anyone else on here knows id appreceate it =D
ok...so i went in the realmd.config file edited the port from 3724 to 6064 then i went into my router and forwarded that port. then i went to a s port scanner site and it said it was open i also noticed a small connection in my realm.exe config window(from the online port scanner) so i thought that was a good sign i logged onto my neighbors WLAN again for the test but still no prevail. This solution confuses me cuz i was thinking when people log in they are sending the request for port 3724 so wouldnt it only work if i have that open on my router?
