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
Optional (if you don’t have these installed already) :
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

HEY REAPER i did the character backup and then started to think before i update this…
what i did was take all the vnedores from gm island and place them in SW and ORG now…when i do this update i know characters will be saved…BUT will all my hard work in placing and getting vendors ready for players be gone? I also had to do a nightbane fix so people could target him will that be messed up again too? if anyone else knows please respong i’d like to do the update today if i hear it’ll be fine.
one more thing i want to ask…i’m using 4629 SM 18.5 and on the last patch i have this serious problem with DEFENSE DEF rating is not converting to pts correctly at 70. Ex: a warrior in D3 and lvl 60 items should barely hit 490-505 and thats normal on retail but on my server a warrior with the same gear has 540 and throw some kara loots on this warrior and he has 600 def. NOT GOOD. it ruinds raiding cuz we only need 1 healerr and he can go afk half the fight cuz our tanks arent getting hit hard enough. If i could fix this. and an attumen and maiden bug. my server would be great)
sorry about the wall of text i hope you got to read it all because it’s some really nasty problems. i just cant find a fix for the DEF (im hopeing this new mangos helps it)
also i saw you wanted to see peoples servers
http://bamrealm.sytes.net
in the general discussion pge is how you sign up
ive had it up for 2 days and its actually getting quite popular =D
I can’t find where to get a DBC extractor anywhere! can someone please give me a link
what does it exactly say?
PLZZZZZZZZZZZ ANSWER MY QUETION IVE ASKED OVER 6 TIMES ON 3 DIFERENT VERSIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT GET MY MANGOS AND REALMD TO RUN IT SAYS CANOT CONECT!!!!!
# Vaszi
Ah actually you can use any id you want :) but to be safe, i’d suggest you put high ID number for example i always use value above 89000
# Deszero
Since i don’t really know what is your computer specs (especially RAM) i can’t really answer your question :(
btw try reading the Reaper Mangos FAQ written by Siegelink from here :

Did you start the mysql service first ? or are you using different port for your mysql ?

I dont know whether nether drake can be used on wow without tbc or not since i have tbc installed, but you can always test it :)
Hello everyone,
I was thinking and my preveous post is so confusing about what i wish to know.
Originaly my question is: how can i “mark” items
witch no in use yet. where is defined witch item model has witch displayid?
example: if someone making a weapon he/she needs to add displayid so that weapon will look like that item witch originaly has that displayid.
hammer_2h_standard_e_01.m2 and its display id is: 29698 //this is Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros//
then if i make weapon with this ID that will look like 2h ragnaros hammer.
But i want to make weapon witch has its model in mpq file implemented but its not in use yet.. Where can i add specific id’s and weapon models?
I hope this post is better then the other one and understandable..
Thank you so much and sorry if i bother you.
I am running mangosd.exe for the first time, it takes ages and it’s still loading, is it normal?
Thanks Muskar – I checked your mention of level 88 bug and it is as you say. No XP gained unless by GMcommands levelup.
I seem to remember playing on a server which had solved this problem so I will try and find out which it was.
Reaper,
im getting this error when i run realmd

# Reaper X
I’m using UDB to and I checked my server.log and it says that the event has started but nothing happends in the game. I have checked the Gurubashi Arena but it’s empty. And what I know It should be peoples there and Questgivers. Also portals from Orgrimmar and Stormwind but they arnt there. Please help!
(sry for my bad English) ;P
Hello Reaper, hello guys,
I just have tested the new release with unified database and i need to say that, realy good (till now i was allways plaing with silvermoon) And i wish to help for thoose ppl who can’t choose, well i vote for unified one becouse silvermoon one has more bugs. in unified one there are better and improved loot tables and better bosses. example: when you playing in black temple if you set loot for 10 for both in unified you get more and diferent items then the silvermoon one and more…
i played blacktemple many times alone and i can see the unified is detailed then silvermoon.. both have bugs offcourse but i think unified is clooser to get finished.
May i have a question too??
I allways wonedring on that, there are thousands of items in wow but very few is used only.. if you check this with wow reader.. if you just look items list.. you can find items what never were in real game or waiting to get implemented.. I wish to know how these displayID’s and item templates are connected?
couse i want to make a cool fistweapon. but its “skin” not in use yet (then i can find its displayid in the database).. (i think it didnt get displayid yet) how can i give it?
Well this might be hard.. but thank you for any answers and looking forwar to it.
sorry for my bad english i hope you can understand what i wanted with my words.
THis is the best wow guide all over the net Reaper.
Goodbye
Hey reaper can you walk me through it on a remote assistance kinda thing?
and reaper what if you haven’t installed burning crusade? then you just can’t use the nether drake? except from using udb?
toby have you got the expansion of wow? caus ehten i don’t know but if you don’t go to the mangosd.conf file and change:
Expansion = 1
to
Expansion = 0
Well, i tried to get into the Mangoes Comand promt and well it says it cant find the server IP address even though i changed it to set realmlist 127.0.0.1 Any ideas?
i keep gettin the error:
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
i have tried changing directories in opt 4 and in mangos cfg and i keep gettin that error.
need your help reaper :|
look at my about page (at the top menu) :)
http://www.reaper-x.com/contact/
yea sure thats cool wats ure e-mail?
Noah is it okay with you if i’m connecting to your pc via remote assistance (if you allow me to connect via remote assistance, just send me the invitation) ? because i’m interested on testing it by myself (since this is the first time i saw someone having problem after upgrade) :)
it does show the realm but it gets to “logging into game server” than it doesent get past that. I also have re-checked were the server it pointing too.
try set the realmlist address (mysql) into 127.0.0.1 and then change the realmlist.wtf (wow client) into 127.0.0.1 for testing purpose and see if it works or not :)
well thats the thing, there aren’t any errors….
could you tell me did you get any error message when starting mangos ? (look at the server.log)
Yea like I said I’ve already done that, ive done pretty much everything in this guide but still I just can’t connect.
# Muskar
Actually that’s the idea :D , because i’d like to know how many people have created their own wow server and also want to promote their server :) (it’d be great if they have banner too lol)
btw let me know if you have your server ready to be used by public :)
# Noah
Ah probably that’s because you forgot to change the realmlist into using your public address :)
try running reaper-x-mangos.bat and choose option 5 to set your realmlist address ;)
# Rappe
You’ll need to set up registration page for them, and to do that you’ll need to install apache and get a premade registration page for your mangos
as for nether drake and phoenix, actually you can only use that item in Outlands area only (because of built-in client / wow protection) :)
though there’s a glitch that you can use to get nether drake to be used on silvermoon area by doing these (gm only) :
1. Mount nether drake in outlands area
2. type .tele silvermoon
3. you get nether drake still mounted at silvermoon
actually you can always reproduce that as long as there’s no loading screen appeared when you’re teleporting
another good things to use (if you’re using UDB) (dual mount) :
1. add swift brewfest ram item and use it (mount it)
2. mount another mountable type items (such as fiery warhorse)
3. and you’ll get dual mount lol
Can somebody help me? I can’t buy the items that requires experience points and honor points from arathi highlands and the other places. How do i get them?
and i can’t use phoenix or nether drake :s it says you can’t use that here
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 ?
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?
# 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
# 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
# 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.
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 ;)
D’oh, I keep writing replies and you answer before it q: sorry
# 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
# 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 :)
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?
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.
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?
Thanks Muskar – that was clear. What was the bug at level 88 by the way? Or was that just an example? :)
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
