Reaper Mangos 4651, ScriptDev2 151 with Project Silvermoon and Unified Database
By Reaper-X on Oct 29, 2007 in Emulators, Reaper Mangos, Software
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

I LUV IT!!!!!!!!!!
How can i translate it? I have the files
Btw,
Does SDB stand for silvermoon database or is a diffrent db all together.?
I,m getting confused on those forums :)
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
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
how do i up my rep with factions (i saw it in the other moded guide, but not this one)
The post above is a reply for Bamabam :)
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
How can I create custom objects? Please Reaper cant you put up a guid on that?
and reaper, when is a guide for 2.3.0 comming out?
hey reaper do you know how to patch items?? and make items to patch into the server?
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?
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.
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
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..
# 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 :)
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.
There are seriously so many updates and patches that can be used, it will hugely increase the realness and functioning of most dungeons.
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.
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.
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 ;)
Okay thanks lol. Truly helps a lot. Hope I could help a bit.
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
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)
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
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?
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.
# 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) ;)
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 :(
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 :)
am i able to update it to the mod pack with 4629, or should i install 4651, then the one with the mods
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
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?
Reaper, i read the onstructions, but when i "translate", disapears all Npc, monsters, quests...
# 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 ?
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?
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
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?
nvm about my post already figured it out: reinstalled wow and tried again :p Thx anyway for this awesome tutorial
ow whats that AH bot? and what is he doing?
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
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
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?
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
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
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
*Fixed. the wow files where corrupted as you said
Thanx very much for you help
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
Sully~ i did tell you what would work....i take it you would just rather not do a couple quests?
wavemaster~ i didnt see your post, and when i look up i cant seem to find it, could you say it again?
ohh, i see it now lol.... the thing is its not my server, i am a developer on the server, and as much as the owner would change it for me he rather wouldnt :-(
is there a way to do it in the database??
-Reaper, if there isnt i think it would be a good thing to add to the next release (unmodded)
hey, I'm having a little bit of trouble with upgrading to this release. i was using 4577 before, and i've extracted it, installed the db, and run all the batch files to update the maps, vmaps, and dbc files. unfortunately, when i run mangosd.exe, i get a message saying that my dbc files are outdated. i ran the new extraction files from the 4651 release, but it still doesn't work. where have i gone wrong?
Sorry to double-post, but i just read up and noticed that i didn't need to re-extract the maps, vmaps, etc. oops. :P But i'm still getting that 'outdated' error. Any ideas?
ooh ok thanks for letting me know :)
I'm not looking in every map so i didn't knew it was there :p
I think I have some problems: I forgot to patch, now I did I extracted everything, but if I turn on the reaper-x-mangos is says path... all ok then the password I type it enter and then choose 1 and then I get some things whit old_unique and acc banned... but I still get the choose of the 2 databases so iI choose 1 of them and then it says please wait it'll take a while o import the database
press any key to continue...
is that normal or what? cause i looked in the directorys and there are files in the mangos and realmd maps but I don't knwo its all of them :S
omg I'm getting:
Realm running as realm ID1
Using Rev 19 PSDB.

Reaper, Can you post a tutorial??? I dont know how to translate the quests and NPCs.
I have this files (traductions): items.sql, Npcs.sql, quests.sql...
omg I've got the acc ban thing back :s can anyone just send me the mangos and realmd database maps?
(give a link or something)
But please cant you make a guide how to make Custom objects and so with Navicat or some program. Becose if you make a guide with Navicat I just download navicat follow your instructions and bang clear :D ....
Reaper-X,
If I write a f.a.q about all the beginner problems would you consider putting it on this bloq?
Also when I reported a bug on the UDB forum they told me that it was a core bug, does that mean mangos?
anybody else getting the 'outdated dbc files' problem when they run mangosd.exe?
Ok everytime i try to log in MySQL it saysCoult not connectto mySQL database at 127.0.0.1:access denied using password (password:YES)
Cannot connect to 127.0.0.1;mangos;mangos;mangos
Reaper-X can you help me please
Says samething when i start realmd
Another great release Reaper... a couple of dumb questions maybe you can answer real quick :) I've searched all over the place and can't find the answers.
1. How do you change the time shown in the server. My server time is several hours off the local time here
2. Can you rename a user's login account. I tried the obvious method of changing the field in the realmd table but it just results in failed logins until I change it back. If it can't be renamed, can the chars be exported somehow, a new login created, and the chars re-imported?
Thanks. DT
Here's what I did for rep (horde side + scryer)

This will put you at exalted with everyone, except for Timbermaw. I found a wierd problem with rep on that faction. If you are at 14,999 of 21,000 revered and you add say 6000 points (which should put you to 1 of 1000 exalted instead you go to 1,399 of 1,000 exalted for some wierd reason.. if you take the 400 points off to go back to 1 of 1000, you drop back to 14,999 of 21,000 revered again... I can't explain the behaviour.
I suppose you could mess with the numbers for the offending faction one rep point at a time and see what happens.
Also, the change doesn't take effect until you log the character back in...
Hope that helps out...
I tried to put my server on lan but i couldn't play and I got a error. then I got the connection thing whit mangosd what Alex said, and now I'm having the account_banned and old_unique things etc... :s help Reaper-X
hey i noticed you said the silvermoon database only had the core update... which update is that, and where would i find the other updates?
Ok at part 3 after i typed my password it says "Mysql" isnt an external or internal blah blah blah... program. So what do i do so i can fix that
Ok i got threw that part but now when i try to start mangosd it says it cant locate vmap...
so what did i do wrogn now
Alex, and others :)
I,m assuming that you gave the right data path for your maps which can be cheked by going trough the tutorial created by Reaper-X above carefully.
If you don't have the burning crusade expansion pack installed then you must change expansion 1 to 0 in mangosd.conf
For reference here's the number of files that are in my maps, so you can check if you extracted everything. (I have burning crusade, so that means more files)
DBC:176
maps:3492
vmaps:3299
Also please (next time) read trough some of the other posts above since most of these questions have been answerd more then once.
HI, I have a problem with the realmlist. I put the set "realmlist 127.0.0.1" but, it still gives me the other WoW list. I think that is the only problem i got so any tips would be nice.
Stepback,
"other WoW list"
Do you mean that after you reopen the file it changed back into:
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com
Maybe read only in the property's of the file is on, You never know :)
That's probarly not the case so could you be a bit more specific?
SiegeLink~
Yes, it is that file that i changed but, wouldn't change the list in the game(or send me to the server).
Thank you. Need more info...just ask.
Stepback,
I,m doing a wild guess here, maybe you allready know this...
Click: mangosd.exe wait until it finishes.
Click: realmd.exe wait until it finishes.
leave the windows open.
In the mangosd window type: create StepBack StepForward
Then start WoW and use Name:Stepback and Password:StepForward to log in.
Also,
This is what realmlist.wtf must look like:
set realmlist 127.0.0.1
set patchlist 127.0.0.1
SiegeLink~
set realmlist 127.0.0.1
"set patchlist 127.0.0.1"
Oh so maybe thats it. Thanks, I will try now ^>^
o well it didnt work...cries*
Stepback,
If you would like me to talk you trough it then pls give me your Yahoo mess or hotmail msn adress. I prefer yahoo.
it doesn't matter what your patchlist server is; you won't be connecting to the patch servers anyway. have you changed the server address in the database as well as in the realmlist.wtf file?
Hello, when i run mangosd.exe it halts when Loading NPC texts, if i run it again it sometimes halts while loading items.
What could be the problem?
Tnx
PLEASE HELP! When I run mangosd.exe it says
"Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Can't connect to MySQl server on '127.0.0.1'
Cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;manos"
Please please help. it also says that when i try and run the realmd.exe
none of the NPC's at gmisland are loading for me. Any thoughts?
Antar, Mat,
If you think you've done everything that is suggested in above posts by me and others.
Then maybe your on windows vista, which in that case try the UDB and not silvermoon.
# Joe
Which database you are using ? if it's the Unified database, you won't see anything at GM Island :)
# KompressR
The core update mean the mangos update, and i always include the mangos core update on my release (you can see it in OriginalSQL directory) :)
# SiegeLink
Reaper-X, If I write a f.a.q about all the beginner problems would you consider putting it on this bloq?
Also when I reported a bug on the UDB forum they told me that it was a core bug, does that mean mangos?
Of course, because it'll be helpful to everyone, just send it to my email address (btw full credits of course will be given to you) :)
Yep, if it's related to core that mean mangos and that mean you'll need to visit mangos forum directly ;)
David T.@ ok, but what are the commands to up the rep? i dont understand
I cant get the Gurubashi Arena Event run. But the Hallows end event works and I have put it on the same time. Please help!
When I try to connect at WoW it says "unable to connect" but I chaned the realmlist and everything works fine :s
Hi - constantly impressed with the speed updates are implemented.
My question relates to updating 4629 to 4651.
Ran ReaperMangos4651.exe
Opened ReaperMangos4651\Reaper-easzy-mangos and ran reaper-x-mangos.bat
Backed up characters.
Installed database
Restored characters.
Do I need to use the realmd.exe & mangosd.exe that came with this update (4651) or can I continue using those that came with 4629?
Thanks for your continued support.
When i try to start Mangosd.exe and realmd.exe i get a message saying "This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I have downloaded manogs multiple times and still dont have MSVCR71.dll . Am i doing something wrong? where can i get it?
I finally got into my server but:
1.World name is reaper-x, how to change?
2.I can't update my skills higher then lvl24 :s
3.I can't join the battleground.
4.My friend couldn't get into the world, he logged in then he clicked okay to select reaper-x as world and then he says the screen jumps back on the world select :s
anyone can help?
# Overlord
Try running it on different date to see if its working or not :)
# simon
Hello simon, of course you'll need to use the new mangosd.exe and realmd.exe or you just end up using the old version ;)
# Will
put this in your mangos directory :)

# Rappe
1. You can use the reaper-x-mangos.bat included and choose option number 5 :)
2. have you tried using the .setsk command ?
3. haven't tested it yet (since i never go into battleground)
4. Have you changed the realmlist ip address to your public ip address, and your friend also use the same realmlist address you used ?
1.I did
2.didn't know it excisted
3.ok, np
4.yes i gave my realmlist to him cause he didn't foudn it in hes wow map.
#simon
As far as I know, mangosd.exe loads all the objects, maps, scripts etc. etc. from the directory you inputted when installing the DB. If the mangosd.exe is in fact changed to load more files (as the DB has more files), then your previous mangosd.exe wont do the trick - UNLESS, of course, mangosd.exe only opens a file within the database that comes with the new patch, that redirects to the files to load.
In other words, it's safest to use the new one, but is not necessarily needed. I would recommend you to use the new ones.
And why wouldn't you do so?
sorry for my browser, didn't see your respond Reaper-X >.<
Well, lets attempt to help the last guy out then q:
#Rappe
1. So did it work to change the realmlist name or did it return some kind of error? (you input the realmname and IP-adress and then the output should show that it is changed).
2.The .setskill command works in this way:
.setskill #id #value
To find the skill ID, type .lookupskill
Then one or a few more skills should be showed depending on your search.
An example could be setting enchanting skill to 375:
.setskill 333 375
I think it is.
Thanks for the reply.
A follow up question. As I am using the new Mangosd.exe and realmd.exe can I use my old config files?
I tried copying my old Mangosd.config file over the newer one and the MaNGOS loads okay.
Is this right or have I made an error in doing so?
Actually, I do not know if there is changes in the .conf files as I have only seen one release so far.
Try matching the new ones with the old. If there is any difference at all [except for the comments (comments is signalled by a '#' and means that everything AFTER that symbol in the CURRENT LINE, is not a part of the code, but only a message to the reader.)], then you can't overwrite it.
If that is the case, you will have to open the old and the new .conf files on the same time and manually add all the data that is still used to the values that you used in the old .conf file.
If that isn't the case, you can just overwrite it and play on =)
An example could be this:
Old mangosd.conf
# Max level that can reached by player for expirience (in range from 1 to 255).
# Change not recommended
# Default: 70
MaxPlayerLevel = 70
New mangosd.conf
# The maximum level that can be reached for players by experience (in the range of 1 to 255).
# Changing the default is not recommended, due to a bug when reaching level 88.
# Default: 70
MaxPlayerLevel = 70
This does not make any differense to the game. As every line edited was after a '#'.
If the 'MaxPlayerLevel = 70' had been edited to something like 'MaxPlayerExpLevel = 70' then it would change everything and make your old .conf file useless.
Thanks for reading my reply, Muskar.

Please help!
SaintSlayer can you please check your Mangos and realmd logs and email them to me at Nixamc@aol.com so i can see what errors your getting
Thanks Muskar - that was clear. What was the bug at level 88 by the way? Or was that just an example? :)
after I put in my password for mysql its says
" 'mysql' is not recognized as an internal or external command" Is this a bad thing or is it normal?
Ok I fixed my problem. All I had to do was open up
reaper-x-mangos.bat in notepad and change the mysql to mysql.exe.
hi reaper thanx for your good work
actually almost everything i need is working with this release (just 4 lan parties with friends..)
but iam still having problem with quest drops, there are none.... drop rate is working(with normal items)but when u need the quest item it wont drop... i tryied both database and still no q drop... how can i fix that?
# simon
If you previously use the 4629 release, there's no changes made to mangosd.conf actually so you can copy the mangosd.conf and realmd.conf from your 4629 directory but ... for the next release (just a side note before releasing the new revision)
there are significant changes, from the character table moved into new database, and also new mangosd.conf .. but that's for the next release :)
# Overlordd
Unfortunately i can't reproduce it because i can see the event loaded when mangos started (btw im using UDB)
taken from my server.log :
2007-11-03 17:45:14 GameEvent 16 "Gurubashi Arena Booty Run" started.
2007-11-03 17:45:14 GameEvent 19 "Call to Arms: Warsong Gulch!" started.
# LaRWa
Your welcome LaRWa, btw could you tell me .. what value did you use for the drop rate ?
as a side note, if you set the drop rate above 10, there's a high chance you'll not receive the quest item :)
# simon
It wasn't only an example, the xp bar disappears and bugs at level 88 and for some reason you can only level higher by commands.
# Nixam
Yeah, I hope the some DB creators will make some scripts for instances to make the work as they should, because they seem to always ignore that part - focusing on adding new items from te newest patches and getting those to work.
# LaRWa
Now that's a tricky one.
Here's some things it could be.
1. If the DataBase doesn't include those items, then it is impossible to get them.
You can check this by going to the mangosd.exe after it loaded all the accessories and the list with commands to type comes up.
Type setgm YOUR-ACCOUNT-NAME 3 (unless you adjusted GM command rights, then type '6').
Then log into the server via WoW.exe (if you were already logged in, relog) and type following:
.lookupitem THE-QUEST-ITEM-YOU-NEEDED and check if its there. Make sure you spell it right. If it isn't there, you have to wait for another MaNGOS update until it gets added. If it is, look below at the '2.' part.
2. If your DataBase includes the item but wont drop, you might need to adjust the drop tables manually.
I do not know excactly how to do this, but I know that you can learn to adjust the codes on their website as some people I know from another private server did. They managed to change loot tables from certain mobs and fix a ton of other bugs manually.
Good luck
D'oh, I keep writing replies and you answer before it q: sorry
thanx for quick answer man
yes i tryed that first one before and thats ok so database is not empty... as i wrote its just for me and friends so its not problem at all for us to .additem *** when we need it ;) i was just curios if it cannot be solved quickly and easy ;)sorry 4 my english but iam little messed up after celebration ;)
# LaRWa
As Reaper-X just pointed out, drop rates over 10 has a high chance of making most quest drops a higher chance than 100%, which may bug the drop tables and make them unlikely to drop.
# LaRWa
Well the only thing you can do is edit the drop rate to 10 :D
btw my english is bad as well lol so you don't need to worry about that :P
and erm ...
i'm just wondering on how many people have created their wow server for public :)
because i'm interested on creating a post listing those who just recently created their own wow server :D
# Reaper-X
Mine will be public, and that's a great idea. That would show how great your guide is working (also to yourself) and maybe even make it possible for ppl with problems go to one of those servers to ask them out. =D
Before I upgraded to this version, my server was working fine online, than when I installed this update all of a sudden i can't connect. I double checked every step and I still hav no idea wats goin on. Any ideas?
wel i put my cset my wow server at lan, but is there anyway that ppl could auto-create a acc so i don't have to make 1 ?
