Time for another Mangos release and as the title said, this is a clean compiled version of Mangos 4703 (without any custom patches) with Scriptdev2 Revision 156 and Unified Database 0.8.1 with Changesets 326 applied. Although you can also download the small version (minus the Unified Database), that perhaps might be useful to those who prefer to update their mangos core manually :)
While Reaper Mangos Mod 4703 (the custom version) can be found at that link (Note: if you’re not familiar enough with Mangos i’d suggest you to get this one instead)
So here are the steps :
Requirements :
1. Working MySQL Installation (if you have MySQL Installed automatically from another Repack, i’d suggest you to completely remove it unless you know how to configure it)
2. World of Warcraft Client version 2.2.3 with TBC Expansion Pack installed (because that’s what i’m using right now, so if you don’t have TBC installed and not using the latest 2.2.3 version, i can’t really help you)
3. Mangos Server :
UPDATE : Reaper Mangos 4875 has been released
IMPORTANT : If you’re upgrading from my 4651, you should download this updated batch file and overwrite the reaper-x-mangos.bat inside reaper-eazy-mangos directory with this one, btw i’d suggest you to get this one even if you’re not upgrading
Update : It seems that some people love the custom GM Island Vendor made by Silvermoon Project, so i decided to convert it so you can use it on this 4703 Release, but as a side note because there is specific item that only exists on the Silvermoon Database, if you see message on the Mangosd Window saying that some item can’t be found, you don’t need to worry about it (it doesn’t affect your gameplay)
Download GM Island NPC Custom Vendor (you just need to run the batch file included)
For advanced users only :
Optional :
This section is optional to those who want to create a public server
4. You need to know how to setup port forwarding from your router first, and also configure your firewall to allow the port specified in Mangosd.conf and Realmd.conf (if you use DSL Connection, you’ll need to know how to setup port forwarding first or else your friend won’t be able to connect to your server)
Also please read the Mangos FAQ too
Fresh Installation Steps :
1. Installing MySQL on Windows XP 32 Bit (you’ll need to have mysql installed first)
2. Extract DBC, Maps and VMaps from your World of Warcraft Client
3. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat inside the reaper-eazy-mangos directory / folder, and you’ll see something like this, and now 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) ;)

4. 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 … :)

5. After finished with the database installation, now you need to choose option number 4 (required, unless you know how to edit the mangosd.conf manually) to adjust the datadir and adjust the exp rate, and drop rate :)

6. 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
7. 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

finally 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 ;)
Optional :
If you want to change the server name into something else, you can use the reaper-x-mangos.bat to adjust it :)
Upgrading from Reaper Mangos 4651 :
First of all i’m really sorry that since there are many changes made to the database structure itself in Mangos, i can’t write instruction on how to upgrade your server from any version below 4651 (or it’ll be a very long post and i know that you don’t really want to read a long post) :P
So to those who are still using Mangos revision below 4651, you can contact me directly if you need help :)
and here are the step to those who are using Reaper Mangos 4651
1. Backup any custom data you’ve created before (such as custom vendors, custom weapon, custom armor, etc) using your mysql client … (i’m sure those who are creating their own custom stuff already have their own mysql client ready to be used) … but remember though if you’ve created custom vendor just make sure that it is compatible with this mangos version ;)
2. run reaper-x-mangos.bat inside the reaper-eazy-mangos directory and then choose option 99 to begin the upgrade process … and wait until it finished
3. Choose option 4 to reconfigure your mangosd.conf and no, don’t use the previous mangosd.conf because it has been changed
4. Done :)
Here’s some screenshot :

ok, so i set this up, it worked fine, but when i did the lan stuff, it seemed to work, but when i go to log in, i get stuck on the “Logging into Game Server” or something like that screen…what should i do?
*EDIT*
I also did the GM Island vendors
Reaper,
Great work! I tried a couple of others before I found yours and yours was the only one to install without a hitch. Worked perfectly the first time I attempted to log in. Thanks!
Couple of questions/observations that cropped up during my 1st 7 levels. I don’t know if these are MaNGOS problems or related to something I need to do and didn’t do!
Collision detection seems off as MOBs pass through objects/walls/ground somewhat as they move about. Also, they will stack on top of eachother so it may look like one mob, but may in fact be 4 or 5!
Things seems to move slightly too fast. Actions seems sped up. Mine and the mobs.
NPCs act strangely. guards do nothing. They won’t help in a fight.
Questgivers don’t stop moving and may wander off as you talk to them.
A “dead” NPC was standing up instead lying on teh ground.
A boss didn’t “talk” as I think he was supposed to. Some dialog is supposed to take place.
And one NPC I noticed seemed to be the wrong NPC for the locale, but was following the proper NPCs path it seemed.
Anyway, as I said. No idea where these problems originate, or if they’re fixable. If they are, how? Did I forget a step somewhere?
Thanks!
“Cory,
You could try using / instead of \ in the file path. It made a difference for me.
For example use:
C:/Mangos/data
instead of C:\Mangos\data” I tried this when using reaper-x-magnos and it seems to have made a difference, it looks like its actually doing something now… So now i’ll wait and see if I can connect
this is what I’m talking about
“I get this message saying could not connect to data base using 127.0.0.1….please help”
I’ve been having the same problem… On both computers i tried installing it on, what the hell am i doing wrong? :(
don’t know if anyone has posted this yet, but if you use the GM command too add in a skill(engineering for example) the menu will be crafting menu will be messed up.
This is how you fix it by skill. just type .unlearn followed by these numbers…
Blacksmithing:
8366, 8368, 9942, 16960, 16965, 16980, 16986, 16987, 2671
Cooking:
30047, 42296
Enchanting:
22434
Engineering:

Jewelcrafting:
25614, 26918, 26920, 32810

Alchemy:
11447, 22430, 17579, 6619, 2336
This should fix the menu and make the crafting skills work again.
Hey Reaper, just wanted to say thank you very much, I’ve been all over the web looking for a good detailed tutorial on how to set up a private server, and yours is by far the absolute best. I’ve never done anything like this before, and after a few problems (most of them my fault) I got my server up and running. Every problem I ran into was able to be fixed/solved just by comming back to your pages and reading a little. Great work, and thank you, thank you, thank you!
Now that being said, you stated in an earlier post that you were working on a custom item eidtor (11/13/07) I’d be very interested in that, as I’d like to create weps/gear to spice up lower lv playing a bit, as well as adding some mid-high lv stuff. I don’t care about 1 hit killing end raid bosses, i’m interested in more realistic custom items.
Keep up the great work, and keep us posted!
Cory,

Ok,now 2.3.0 had been release,Can i upgrade my mangos to support 2.3.0?and has some bug in my server,may i know how to fix it?thx
It seems to be working fine until i launch mangos, says its cant find 530_14_43.vmdir, also says the maps,vmaps arnt in the right directory but i made sure they were several times.
I get this message saying could not connect to data base useing 127.0.0.1….please help
i am using mongos 4703 and everything is fine then i saw that u uploaded a batch file for the gm island vendors so i downloaded it and ran but i keep getting error 1136 at line 6: column count doesnt match value count at row 1 if u could plz tell me what to do..
and by the way u r doing one hell of a job u really made my year :) keep it up…
Is there anywhere else that i can download Reaper Mangos 4703 other than Rapidshare or megaupload. I live in a country where all ips are dynamic and are reassigned within about 48 hour period. Rapidshare says that im behind a proxy. So wont let me download. Yes i can change my ip by restarting the router but rapidshare will still not let me download. Megaupload is the same. Even after making me install that blasphemous toolbar they still wont give me the file. Is there any where else i can download Reaper Mangos 4703 from besides rapidshare and megaupload. I have tried torrent and google and various other ways to find but nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
i’ve been using the 4651 version with the silvermoon database. if i were to upgrade to 4703 (normal or mod) will my character data be lost?
ok, so i et this up, it worked fine, but when i did the lan stuff, it seemed to work, but when i go to log in, i get stuck on the “Logging into Game Server” or something like that screen…what should i do?
Often times, if it says that the “Creature is not found”, you have a monster or an NPC (other than yourself) highlighted.
If you de-select whatever you have selected, that should do it. Also, if the ‘.set speed’ command doesn’t work, try using the ‘.modify speed (1-10)’ command, instead.
I got my server working and everything, but my gm commands do not work. I tried doing .set speed 10, but all i got was this:
Creature not found(GUID)
Aany1 no wat i have to do? Would be a big help, thx
@ Briuz
Yes you can change everything but you must be a GM – http://www.reaper-x.com/2007/09/21/wow-mangos-gm-game-master-commands/ for all GM commands.
And Thank Reaper for these great tutorials!!! i’m creating a server now i hope it works :)

can someone please please help …im noob to this :(
Lol, ok looks like it worked.
I have to say i think this site is very helpful.
But i have an issue with my mangosd.exe. It will instantly close, and im guessing this is because i didnt put in option 4 in mangos.bat. Even though i thought i did. Im going to try and fix that really quick but i really think i put it in. Hope there isnt anything else wrong.
Doh. Fixed, Downloaded just .dll file and put it into windows\system directory.
Cant find .NET RUNTIME 1.1… if u ment .NET Framework. i got it installed, still dosnt work.

I seem to be a dimwit – Is there a way to cut and paste into multiple cells in the mangos database tables please?
I downloaded the dbc editor but am not sure where I need to look for the edit NamesReserved.dbc and NamesProfanity.dbc
# parnellsimon
unfortunately that’s client related (the wow itself) … if you want to bypass that, then you’ll need to get dbc editor first and edit NamesReserved.dbc and NamesProfanity.dbc (not the extracted one that is in your dbc folder directory)
required tools can be downloaded from :
http://wowdev.org/files/
note: if you’re also playing on official server then i do not recommend you to do the above step :)
# elmo
first go to microsoft website
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads
and then search for .NET RUNTIME 1.1
download and install it :)
# Kage
Your welcome Kage :)
thanks zen, thanks reaper. I’ll run it by my brother, since it is his server.
Hi. i cant get past phase where i got to run two Exe… all the time i got missing MSVCR.dll thingy. Yes i got mysql running. and it was running when i instaled Mangos. Help plox.
Hi, just wondering if it is possible to alter the list of banned names that Blizzard impose at the character creation screen?
# Kage
As Zenn said, there are two options to run mangos automatically, the first method is by creating service for it and the second method is just by creating shortcut to realmd.exe and mangosd.exe into your startup :)
the easiest way of course is by creating shortcut and place it into your startup
also as a site note, if you plan on running any program as windows service you need to download this resource kit from microsoft first
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd
the process itself involved editing registry, and i don’t recommend you to use this step unless you know what you’re doing (or be prepared for the worse case) :)
# Jason
Ah you don’t need to worry about that, you can simply ignore it :)
# Colin
You can read my previous post on how to do it from below link ;)
http://www.reaper-x.com/2007/09/29/how-to-revert-to-previous-wow-patch/
# zergling
it’s the mangos-udb.sql .. btw if you choose to install (using reaper-x-mangos.bat) it’ll get automatically installed
# Infernal Demon
Did you get the updated batch file ? and did you create backup using the 4651 before running the upgrade process?
If you created backup all you have to do is just (to automatically reupgrade it) :
1. Restore your previous data using the reaper-x-mangos.bat in 4651 directory (although you can do it too using the bat file in 4703 release, but the easiest way would be using the 4651)
2. Now run the reaper-x-mangos.bat in 4703 directory (using the updated batch file), and choose to upgrade
3. done :)
# Sapphire
I’m guessing that you’re using some other application for your wow server, and the only thing you can do is just get the updated file from the author of that program directly :)
# boondox
the 192.xxx :) .. but don’t forget you’ll also need to set up port forwarding first

Someone asked a similar question to yours:
“Is it possible to make it so that I don’t need to run realmd.exe and mangosd.exe every time I log on?”
And Reaper-X responded:
“Although it’s possible but i dont recommend it but just in case you want to do it, feel free to choose these options :)
1. Create windows service for mangos and realmd – http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251192
2. Put realmd and mangosd in your startup :)”
I found this in the “Creating Public Server for LAN Party” thread if your curious.
To answer your question about the error “unknown spell id xxxx” I believe Reaper-X posted somewhere at the top of one of his threads to ignore that error because he has tested and found that it doesn’t effect game play one bit.
Hope that helps! I’m sure Reaper-X will add to this. :)
Reaper,
got it setup. No problems at all. I have it hosted on Windows 2003 Server with a T1 connection.
Occasionaly I will see messages on the mangosd console saying “unknown spell id xxxx” Yet no one would be casting. So, must not be important enough to have any concern for it.
Also, is there a way to set the mangosd and realmd as a windows servive configured to start at system startup, and just use the console to make configuration changes? Just a thought.
Well, thanks for everything. I’m up to the task of reading all your postings so I can get a feel for working with the db and mangos. Great job!
I used to run your 4269 release. I erased the directory for that, uninstalled MySQL server and left the data files for the maps, vmaps etc…
I re-installed MySQL, installed 4703 database and pointed the info to the old maps, vmaps etc… file.
everything is running but when i watch my mangosd command window i keep getting a ton of these errors
World: unknown spell id (spell #)
Any idea’s to what is going on, or what i have to do to fix it?
I don’t want to go back to 4269 but if i have to i will.
Thank you
jason
ahh how to i go back to 2.2.3?!?!
erm what files are the files whith all the mobs in cause i dont have a single npc on my server what did i do wrong?
nevermind i manadge to fix it
