Reaper Mangos 4651, ScriptDev2 151 with Project Silvermoon and Unified Database
Posted by Reaper-X Oct 29 2007 10:26 pm
Time for another Mangos release again :D … and this time, instead of creating one mangos release, i have decided to also release my other compiled mangos release which is using Auction House Bot and Jail Patch that is designed to those who love to try out something new in their mangos server or in other words, a more experienced mangos user :)
but let’s keep that aside shall we ? because i’m going to write that one on that post release and in this post i’m only going to give you some intruction on how to get your private wow server running using the pure / clean compiled mangos without any additional patches included
As a note this release uses Project Silvermoon Database Revision 18.5 (Not updated except for the core update) and Unified Database 0.8.1 Revision 325 (Updated) and only work with WoW 2.2.3 Client and tested with WoW 2.2.3 with TBC Expansion Pack installed, so if you’re not using TBC expansion pack, you’ll need to disable the expansion pack in mangosd.conf in order to work with your WoW 2.2.3 :)
Just like before, here are the steps :
Requirements :
1. MySQL and it’s guide on how to install it properly
2. Mangos with Database
Update: Reaper Mangos 4703 has been released
Reaper Mangos 4651 with Scriptdev2 151 Dual Database Reaper Mangos 4651 with Scriptdev2 151 Dual Database | 14.4 MB | Rapidshare 14.4 MB | RapidshareReaper Mangos 4651 with Scriptdev2 151 Dual Database Reaper Mangos 4651 with Scriptdev2 151 Dual Database | 14.4 MB | Megaupload
Optional (if you don’t have these installed already) :
- .NET Runtime – For maximum compatibility with any programs in the future, i recommend you to install .NET Runtime 1.1, .NET Runtime 2.0 and .NET Runtime 3.0 (and don’t forget to read the requirements over at Microsoft website) ;)
Mangos Fresh Install :
Important Note : Below steps is designed to those who are installing mangos for the first time or upgrading from Reaper Mangos 4629, if you’re upgrading from 4602 and below you’ll need to upgrade the character table and realmd first using the menu provided on reaper eazy mangos
Not too Important Note : The screenshots used below is not updated but the installation process is still the same of course :) and oh one more thing, i assume that you’ve extracted the self extracting archive ;)
1. Extract the DBC Files, Maps, and VMaps from your world of warcraft client
2. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat inside the reaper-eazy-mangos directory / folder, and you’ll be see something like this, and then all you have to do is just write the full path to your mysql installation directory (where mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe can be found) ;)
3. Now you just need to choose option number 1 to install the database as shown on below image, and when prompted for your mysql root password, don’t forget to write the correct password … and then when prompted to choose the database, feel free to choose the Project Silvermoon database or Unified Database so you can compare it :)
4. After finished with the database installation, now you need to choose option number 4 (required or else you’ll see the mangosd.exe close immediately when you run it) to adjust the datadir and adjust the exp rate, and drop rate :)
5. Now after finished with all the above process, you’ll need to go inside your World of Warcraft installation directory (for example C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft) and then open the realmlist.wtf using notepad and …
replace :
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com
with :
set realmlist 127.0.0.1
save it and close realmlist.wtf file
6. Now you just need to run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe from your mangos directory and then the next step would be creating username of course :D by typing create username password inside the mangosd window as shown on below image as an example … followed by typing setbc username 1 … so you can choose Blood Elv and Draenei
lastly you just need to type setgm username 3 so you’ll have the GM Power, and … done !!! congrats … now all you have to do is just login using the username you’ve created before ;)
Upgrading from 4629 Release / switching between silvermoon database and unified database :
1. Choose to backup your character first
2. Choose to install the new database
3. Choose the restore option to restore your character and … done :D
Note : Since i don’t really know how many people are still using my old release :( , i assume that most people already upgraded into my previous 4629 release
and here’s my character screenshot
And just in case you didn’t see my previous post, here’s a screenshot of my character riding Nether Drake (note: this is taken using the Unified Database)
and fishing :P

wavemaster~ i didnt see your post, and when i look up i cant seem to find it, could you say it again?
Sully~ i did tell you what would work….i take it you would just rather not do a couple quests?
lol, no i guess 2.3.0 is not out yet… i saw on wowstatus.net that some servers say 2.3.0 so i thought it was released, iam wrong though lol
and i got this mangos installed :-) but i dont want a modded version, could you please explain how to change my reputation with this on? (i dont care if its database or ingame) but i really need this….
thanks
sully
*Fixed. the wow files where corrupted as you said
Thanx very much for you help
Well i use the same WoW to play on real server and on this one , no real probl just use gm commands for everything.the only real problem is that i can’t click on the toolbars it gives me some kind of no string found or something and have to go to spellbook and press buttons from there
rappe~ what do you mean?
i was talking about the “Reaper Mangos Mod 4651, Scriptdev2 151 AHBot with JailPatch and Unified Database” it has a Auction House Bot, the bot adds random items to the AH, it makes it feel more like retail XD
MELITOS,
If you don’t have the expansion pack you must change mangosd.conf (expansion from 1 to 0)
If that doesnt work try to change I:\wow\data/maps/ into I:\wow\data\maps in mangos when you choose otion 4.
If the maps you extracted are in the data dir you must type this: I:\wow\data not I:\wow\data\maps
Melitos~ did you let everything extract properly? i remember when i had that error..turned out i didnt let them fully extract.
how many files are in your map and vmap folders?
HELP!
i ran everything like you said but when i started mangosd it said
check existing of map file ‘I:\wow\data/maps/0004331.map’ not exist!
correct *.map files not found in path ‘I:\wow\data/maps or *.vmap/*vmdir files in
‘I:\wow\data/vmaps’.please place*.map/*.vmap/*.vmdir files in appropriate directories or correct the datadir value in the mangos.conf file
hey id really like to make the update but im scared it’s not backing up the characters correctly. it says mysql is not recognized as an internal or external command. does that mean its an error? or did it back up my characters cuz yousaid if you get any errors let me know. if its not an error ill go ahead and update, i just cant afford to loose peoples characters
ow whats that AH bot? and what is he doing?
nvm about my post already figured it out: reinstalled wow and tried again :p Thx anyway for this awesome tutorial
just got everything set up, though the AH bot wasnt really what i expected….
i take it only 99 items can be put up by the bot at a time?
Hi, I’m having soem problems whit maps and vmaps and buildings … cause the program don’t extract the files my maps(:apms, vmpas,…) just stay empty :s
For people who want to know,
I think at the moment UDB is better than silvermoon, because it doesnt crash in vista, thats because its probarly less memory consuming,
Also there are more creatures than in silvermoon, about the same amount as you can find on the real server.
Also all the/or more npc’s are present and most of them do there thing, like peasant’s chopping wood etc.
And in most parts the damage done to creatures is more in line with the real server.
ALSO :)
- Weather system is also a little better.
- The event’s are working better. (based upon your pc’s date)
- You can talk to all city guards without crashing.
- animations of npc’s are a little smoother overall.
Offcourse there are things like creatures walking trough walls, and the fact that when you click npc’s they seem to move a little bit in the air but I think they can make that work in later releases.
I haven’t tried any instances for both DB’s so if someone could give his feedback on that?
# WaveMaster
actually you don’t need to re-extract the maps, vmaps and dbc because the client file (the wow itself) is still the same ;)
# Pross
are you trying to translate the database or the mangos core ?
Reaper, i read the onstructions, but when i “translate”, disapears all Npc, monsters, quests…
sorry for all the noobish questions (again Xd) imma install the “Reaper Mangos Mod 4651, Scriptdev2 151 AHBot with JailPatch and Unified Database” cuz im feeling adventurous, it will be a fresh install (not backing up my characters so i dont accidently screw anything up with the AH bot) that means i will have to extract the maps right?
well actually you have two choice … you can update to the normal version directly or you can choose to update to this version directly without downloading the normal version first :)(if you plan on using this version make sure to read the upgrade guide on this page) ;)sorry i didn’t saw that this is the normal version
actually if you previously use my 4629 release, the upgrade process to this one is simple .. backup, install, restore .. and done :D
am i able to update it to the mod pack with 4629, or should i install 4651, then the one with the mods
ah lol no that patch command is only available on linux (unless you have cygwin installed on your windows box) .. but compiling mangos for windows is better when compiled using MSVC (visual studio) directly
as for that board (the link that you gave me) .. actually it’s already included in svn .. which mean .. it’s official :) (the sd2 used in this version using the 151, and the 152 is just released today)
i can always upload the updated binary file only (without database included to save uploading time because i’m still using slow connection that need at least 30 minutes just to upload 10MB file, and 48 minutes or more just to upload 14MB file) … if someone request it :)
Oo Lol I am still confused. How do you add it manually and which program do you use? Where do you type -p(number)? Sigh, I am totally useless :(
# Critical-Chicken
Lol don’t worry about it and feel free to post any useful link :D
as for adding patches, actually that’s depend on the patch itself of course, for example if the patch file provided is source code type then you’ll need to add that file manually, and if it’s a diff patch, then you just need to type patch -p(number)

# WaveMaster
Ah no you don’t need to re-extract the maps, vmaps and dbc file as long as you’ve the extracted files from 2.2.3 client (unless there’s a new world of warcraft client update) ;)
And the following is additional patches for certain issues experienced by users:
http://www.scriptdev2.com/index.php?board=6.0
The reason why I am overposting is due to the fact that I am going away soon and don’t have much time, just want all these issues resloved lol.
Oh well, here is all the custom patches you need, about 3 pages on custom patches for many issues relating to ScriptDev2,you must first register and log in though:
http://www.scriptdev2.com/index.php?board=11.0
Most of these patches resolve a lot of dungeon problems, mostly to do with mobs and bosses just auto-attacking. Would it be possible to include these patches in your script?
ok so im using 4629, does that mean i need to download 4651 and re-install the maps,dbc,vmaps again? or just run the reaper-x-mangos.bat file from the newly installed mangos
Another question would it be fine if I post links of updates for the scripts on this forum, so that you can put it in the your edited ScripDev2? (Links to the custom fixes, mostly concering dungeons)
And I know this may abit too much effort, but if it is possible, could may compile a guide on how to insert patches and fixes to the ScripDev2 ourselves, don’t really like bugging you the whole time with every problem I encounter, and I am trying to find out as much as I can. You could maybe even include another section which provides the latest patch updates. Lol, but I guess you could just include that in your Edited ScriptDev2 release. Lol, sorry for the irritation I am causing, feel free to take your time. :D
Okay thanks lol. Truly helps a lot. Hope I could help a bit.
dont worry about it because you’re giving a useful link for everyone to see :D .. btw actually that’s why i choose to release this custom version .. and that is to include non official patch ;)
I would also maybe consider visitibg the bug report section, numerous bugs are fixed there and the link for the patch provided.
http://www.scriptdev2.com/index.php?board=7.0
Sorry if I spamming or over-posting, I just really want the game to be as real to the the real WoW as posiible, and dungeons form a large part of the game.
If you are interested, you must first register htough, here is a link to all the custom ScriptDev 2 patches.
http://www.scriptdev2.com/index.php?board=6.0
And here is link users can use to report any bugs in the script, problems with instances etc:
http://www.scriptdev2.com/index.php?board=7.0
Please report bugs, will only help to improve the game.
There are seriously so many updates and patches that can be used, it will hugely increase the realness and functioning of most dungeons.
Thanks lol yet again for the quick response and help. I actually have become obsessed with fixing the ScriptDev2 issues. I actually visited their site and did some reading up. There are actually quite a lot of patches submitted by users on how to fix certain bugs etc. Mostly related to the lack of spell use by mobs/bosses in dungeons, which a lot of people moaned about. The only problem is… I have absolutely no idea on to use the fixes or edit the script. I was wondering if it was possible to include all the script fixes in your next release. I will provide all the updated links if it needed, to save you some time and effort. Please lol, I am clueless. Or maybe a guide to help show how to do it yourself.
# Vaszi
No worries vaszi :D .. btw actually that’s because i live in GMT+7 timezone, and to make things easier for me, i adjust the time so it’ll display my timezone instead lol
# Slash
Erm .. i think that problem is more related to your wow installation (corrupted files, perhaps ?)
# Critical-Chicken
Actually i’m interested about that too :) .. perhaps a polling would be better for that lol
as for scriptdev2, actually im still looking for any custom scripdev2 patch too
# elliott
Since i’m using my linux box to patch, all i have to do is just type patch -p(number) .. although in some case, it’s better to patch the file manually :)
# Sully
Does WoW 2.3.0 has been released ? or do you mean the 2.2.3 ?
# Danne
Actually i’ve been thinking on creating a guide on since few months ago, but still facing difficulty because many people use different mysql client
for example, im using phpmyadmin (and most people don’t use this)
# bamabam
Hm .. if it’s for me right now i’m using UDB (switched from silvermoon to udb recently because udb already support the recent mangos revision that support 2.2.3 release, though i’m still waiting for the next update from silvermoon) :)
# Sully
if you want the easiest way of adjusting your reputation, you’ll need to use my custom mangos release :)
# Siegelink
Actually i don’t mind anyone putting url here, as long as it’s related to the topic of course (for example don’t put url to casino site or gambling site unless we’re talking about gambling lol)
as for SDB, actually that’s the previous name for UDB (before merged with MoDB, if im not wrong)
the silvermoon DB is called PSDB :)
# Pross
I’d suggest you to visit mangos forum at http://mangosproject.org if you’re interested on creating translation :)
Hey everyone,
Its just so funny when i look at Slash’s post and the sent time says oct 30, 2007 16:29.. hehehe when i m writing its only 11:23 in middle europe..
so funny
sorry if i waste the space..
Everything works fine on the first try :D
When i log on to the server i start getting some *bugs*. It says blizzard.ui out of date I am using 2.2.3 and downloaded all of you stuff in this page. Any help would be appriciated thanx
Thanks for another great realease, but I would like to know something from the other members of our little wow community, which database does everyone prefer, or which one is better and why? And is there no possible way to improve the instances? All the mobs do is auto-attack, would be a lot more fun if the instances functioned a bit more real. Thanks in advance.
when i went to backup my characters i got, mysql is not recognized as an internal or external command. does that mean its an error? or did it work right?
hey reaper do you know how to patch items?? and make items to patch into the server?
and reaper, when is a guide for 2.3.0 comming out?
How can I create custom objects? Please Reaper cant you put up a guid on that?
hmm do more ppl use UDB? ive been using project silvermoon. So far so good, i really like how threat is working on the server, its frustraiting when you spec prot but you still don’t get the right amount of threat as you hsould.
It just ive tried setting the loot to 1, then to 1000, then to 10000000000 no matter what i just cant get the bosses to drop 100% of the epics the have on their loot tables like how ive seen on other private server setups. Also, im gonna assume everyone that did reapers last guide has attumen the huntsman doing that nasty 1234981651983561 cleave that 1 shots the raid? lol
what would you guys reccomend?
also, ive edited the database a bit so starting characters have certain spells and items, will that all be deleted? as well as my vendors ive added? o_0 that would really suck
The post above is a reply for Bamabam :)
how do i up my rep with factions (i saw it in the other moded guide, but not this one)
Since I don’t know if I,m allowed to put the url of the site down ‘ll just tell the fixes of UDB 0.8.1 which comes with mangos:
Includes all update packs (change sets) released so far
All Z coordinates of map 530 updated (no more mobs floating in the air).
99% of the Hallows End event added
Lots of Quests updated so they work as intended.
Additional quests added
Type 3 game objects work (will solve a LOT of problems with quests)
Lots of loot updates (quest items that didn’t drop or dropped when not on a quest)
Additional loot added
A lot of on kill reputation updates
Too many other things to list
oOoOo i just did your guide for 4629, i’ll look into updating it tonite. is there a place that tells you the fixes from 4629?
hopefully loot is one, i just cannot get the loot to drop correctly off bosses and attumen is still cleaving me for 5006545608468406 lol
Btw,
Does SDB stand for silvermoon database or is a diffrent db all together.?
I,m getting confused on those forums :)
How can i translate it? I have the files
I LUV IT!!!!!!!!!!
