Reaper Mangos 4875 – Easy WoW Private Server for WoW 2.3.0
Posted by Reaper-X Dec 21 2007 9:18 am
Another Mangos release again after the last 4703 release (that is released one month ago), and this time the release uses Mangos Core 4875 (Clean Compiled without any custom patches) with Unified Database 331 and of course ScriptDev2 208. But as an important note, this version no longer support the old WoW 2.2.3 and you need to use the new WoW 2.3.0 in order for it to work ;)
And yet another note, since Reaper Mangos Custom version is still not finished yet (i’m really sorry for this), i’ll update this post later when it’s finished but to those who already use the previous Custom version actually you can also upgrade to this version without problem especially if you want to get this release as soon as possible, but you should make sure that :
- You’ve created a backup first just in case something goes wrong
- The Auction House bot is not going to work (don’t worry even if the configuration options is still in mangosd.conf it’s not going to affect your gameplay)
- The Set reputation is not going to work .. but it’s not going to affect your gameplay :)
- Finally the most important thing is … you’ll need to point the mangosd.conf and realmd.conf to the correct database used by the Reaper Mangosmod :)
But if you don’t feel like doing all of the above steps, then of course you can just wait for the next Reaper Mangosmod ;)
And finally here are the steps :
Requirements :
1. MySQL Database and the guide on how to install mysql
2. World of Warcraft Client version 2.3.0
3. Mangos Server :
Reaper Mangos 4875 SD2 208 UDB FULL | 10.9 MB | Rapidshare- Reaper Mangos 4875 SD2 208 UDB FULL | 10.9 MB | Megaupload
- Reaper Mangos 4875 SD2 208 UDB FULL | 10.9 MB | Mediafire
Optional
To those who have WoW 2.3.0 enUS version and want to get the DBC File directly, feel free to download them from below link :)
Extracted DBC File from WoW 2.3.0 enUS version :
OPTIONAL UPDATE :
Now you can get the updated GM Island vendor which is from the previous 4703 to be used properly on this 4875 release ;)
Download GM Island Vendor for 4875
Fresh Installation :
Important Note : Fresh installation will overwrite your database
1. First you’ll need to install MySQL
2. Extracting Maps, DBC and VMaps from your World of Warcraft installation
(You can safely ignore the Patch-2, or any not found xxx-2 message) ;)
3. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat inside the reaper-eazy-mangos folder, and you’ll see something like below image for an example, and then you just need to 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 below, and when prompted for your mysql root password, don’t forget to write the correct password … :)
And one more thing, when you see something like in The Matrix movie (well … that’s how people called it) :) , you just need to wait until it finished and don’t interrupt the process
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 (although the most important thing is your datadir path
6. After finished with all of the above process, all you have to do now is just open the realmlist.wtf file in your World of Warcraft installation directory (the default location can be found at C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft) using Notepad, Wordpad, or your favorite text editor and then …
Replace :
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com
With :
set realmlist 127.0.0.1
and then 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 your own username with your desired password for your own WoW server account as shown on below image followed by typing setgm to give yourself a GM level account
Btw if you can’t see what you should type inside the mangosd window from the above image, actually you just need to type :
create username password
to create the account
setgm username (1–3)
for example setgm myusername 3
to give yourself GM Access at certain level (3 is the highest level and should only be used on your account while normal player is 0)
8. Finally if you have Burning Crusade client installed and want to be able to create Burning Crusade specific character, all you have to do is just type :
setbc username 1
to enable burning crusade expansion for your account :)
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 4703 Release :
1. Re-extract Vmaps, maps and dbc because this version no longer support the old World of Warcraft 2.2.x installation and only support the new 2.3.0 :)
2. Go into the upgrade folder inside reaper-eazy-mangos directory and run the .bat file there and wait until the process finished
3. And done ;)
Note : You don’t need to worry about your custom stuff being overwritten by the upgrade process, because unlike before this time it’s only upgrade the necessary stuff only and not going to overwrite your custom stuff (but i assume that you’re using high id numbers for your custom stuff)
Finally i’d suggest you to check out the GM Commands List because there are some changes made at the GM Commands especially at the lookup command

Wrong? I mean I FIXED the 96% error by downloading the patch-2.mpq and patch-enUS-2.mpq and placing them into the C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS file, and then RE-Extracting the DBC files, and replace the old DBC folder with the new one you just extracted. THAT SOLVES THE 96% ERROR! If you don’t have the patch-2.mpq and the patch-enUS-2.mpq then you WILL get the 96% error. So Now, I re-extracted the DBC files and replaced them, but now I’m getting the problem of “You have _outdated_ DBC files. Please extract correct versions from current using client.” I downloaded the mpq files from Chase’s link…so now i don’t know where to find these ‘Updated’ .MPQ files. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure I’m right.
So now I just need to find updated .MPQ files,
Thanks.
I’m also having vista 64 problems with extracting my DBC files. Can’t find them anywhere so if anyone would be cool to upload them somewhere would be alot of help.
Thankyou!
hey the 96% thing is because you put patch-2.mpq and the patch-enUS-2.mpq in the directory, the error message from the extractor is irrelevant. delete them and your extracted dbc files and extract again without them and it should work fine.
i get an error when trying to make an account… in short… realmd.account&realm.realmd.realmslist do not exist… help?
@celty
That did it, thank you so much, i naver had to do that step before, so i forgot about it. i greatly appreceate you help.
Vilexan
Thanks Reaper for another excellent release. Works like a charm! Looking forward to that custom build. Thanks again, for all you do.
How do you change a weapon from Main-Hand to One-handed? More specificly, I am modifying Phantom Blade, id 7961. I have already done some othter stuff that works, but i can’t figure out how to do this. I have done it in the past, so i know it’s possible, i just don’t know if i changed the actual weapon, or the slot on the character screen.
P.S. Can you give directions using the MySQL layout, as in, goto item_template, etc. Thank You.
like blaze and many others im getting the
“Some required *.dbc files (1 from 48) not found or not compatible: C:/WoW/dbc/ItemExtendedCost.dbc (exist, but have 13 fields instead 14) Wrong client version DBC file?”
message , any way you can help ??
Reaper- i do have a question. with enchanting it seems to be bugged if cursor is left on first chant it wont scroll, if you move the cursor to any other chant you can scroll just fine but can use any of the spells. Also if you leave the window open it drops your fps to 0- i went from 260 to 0 and could figure out what happend. I closed enchants and it was fine. Let me know if you have any ideas on where to go with this. Thanks
@ iamtheone – are you upgrading or fresh install because i ran ito that last night. I had to do a fresh install inorder to get mysql to locate everythign and run it correctly
@ dave – did you set your user to tbc in mangos?. you just need to put “setbc yourusername 1″ 1 will set your account to allow you to access bc content.
@schmu – i got that error aswell…my recomendation, just to a fresh install over the database, it corrects that problem and works just fine. just besure to save any characters you have before hand.
Hey Reaper
I got a problem while running the mangosd.exe. While running it couldnt find the “001_33_39.vmdir” file.
Any help or suggestions?
I upgraded from 4703 but might’ve missed something in the sequence: No characters show up in the selection screen but their names are still held. Mangos console gives the following error:
ERROR: Player #2 have broken data in `data` field. Can’t be loaded.
I saw somewhere it could be resolved from manipulating the tables & content directly, but have no idea where to start.
@dave
you have to activate the account you want tbc to work with in the mangos console using:
setbc your_account_name 1
How do I get the TBC content to work within mango at the moment i cannot use and of it but it is installed in the wow folder
tia
i think i did everything correct. but there are two problems.
1. at the install part from running reaper-x-mangos.bat i get this error 3 times in a row:
‘mysql’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
and when i go to run mangosd.exe i get the following error:
World Database: 127.0.0.1:3306;mangos;mangos;mangos
Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Access denied for user ‘mangos’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)
Cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos
Like Chase and Vax, I am also getting:
“Some required *.dbc files (1 from 48) not found or not compatible: C:/WoW/dbc/ItemExtendedCost.dbc (exist, but have 13 fields instead 14) Wrong client version DBC file?”
Anyone know what to do?
great work m8! thx. everything works just fine.
Do u know where is character’s folder lay
Referring back to Chase’s last posts, he says something about the files getting to 96% (Which is what was having a problem with) when running mangosd.exe. I realized before that though, I didn’t have patch 2, so i followed the links Chase gave above and downloaded them, and extracted the DBC files, and copied them to the file folder overwriting the old one. now i get stuck at “You have _outdated_ DBC files. Please extract correct versions from current using client.” Any help?
Thanks.
i get an error when trying to make an account… in short… realmd.account cannot be found… help?
Chase, about that 96% getting stuck issue, I’m having it also, did you resolve it? If so how?
yeah i have a similar problem chase, cept i can’t extract anything at all… Reaper posted a link to manually download the dbc files on his last version, and i’m hoping he’ll do the same here… cuz i can’t find it myself Q.Q
@celty: Thanks so much! I can’t believe I missed that, haha.
Can any one point me in the direction of what I have to do to find the full item list and mob loots tables with this style of emulated server?
I haven’t emulated a server in almost two years and the method has changed so drastically that the files I was looking for are no where to be found.
@JJ
Thanks works fine now
My Problem was fixed with the Forward Slash Method i found in other forum posts..
Replace the datadir in your config file
It reads something like datadir = C:\Mangos\data\
Change it to C:/mangos/data/
fixed my problem
I properly pointed the configuration files to the right databases but im getting the same error as chase now
that .0004331.map error says its missing yet its in the directory.
@man
Check celty’s comment above. I also had the BC issue, but didn’t realize there was a setbc command that needs to be used on each account created.
Reaper, once again you make a great thing. I hadnt tried any of the easy ones you had made. I was still compliling it all myself. Your guides are amazing. If there is anything I can help with on your next release let me know. Ill be glad to give something back.
@Chase
Thanks #2 work fine now.
As for #1: Yes i have BC installed. Been reading a little of the guide again. Please tell me how to do guide point #4: “Finally the most important thing is … you’ll need to point the mangosd.conf and realmd.conf to the correct database used by the Reaper Mangosmod” – as i haven’t done anything yet, could this caurse this error?
Yeah i installed it and everything but i get a dbc error when i try to run mangosd ?
hey man do you have world of warcraft the burning crusade expansion pack installed? if not you need that to run and be able to make those races, and for #2 go to your mangosd conf. file which should be next to or near realmd.exe, go into that using notepad and scroll down to about a little below mid way and it says
# XP rates
# Default: 1
#Rate.XP.Kill = x
#Rate.XP.Quest = x
#Rate.XP.Explore = x
if you delete what is there and retype in a number it will change it (1 is regular wow xp 2 is twice the amount, 3 is 3 times the amount,… etc)
Can some one point me at the file that has mob loot tables and the one that has every item and it’s #?
I was able to find them with a WoW 1.5 emulated server but I can’t find them in the newer stuff.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@Reaper-x
Thanks for yet another great release.
Please help me, i’m a bit rusty..
1.) Got an error in-game telling me i need BC installed. And can’t create the new rces either. When looking in mangosd.conf expansion = 1 – please tell me where im doing wrong.
2.)By mistake i’ve set the exp rate too high, can this be changed?
now i run mangosd.exe and get all the way to 96% and i have one tiny little error left “Some required *.dbc files (1 from 48) not found or not compatible: C:\Program Files\World of warcraft/dbc/ItemExtendedCost.dbc (exist, but have 13 fields instead of 14) Wrong client version DBC file?
can someone help me to get that dbc file with 14 fields?? can someone plz comment to this i cant figure it out.
once again im so sorry for posting so many times but i hope this helps people i downloaded patch-2.mpq and patch-enUS-2.mpq and made sure a copy was both in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data and C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS and this worked when i used both the extract-enUS.exe and extract-map.exe. i hope these help others.
patch-2.mpq- http://www.esnips.com/doc/f0455f6c-c7d4-4d3f-be1a-6f2ed3960466/Patch-2
and patch-enUS-2.mpq- http://files.filefront.com/patch+enUS+2MPQ/;8046257;/fileinfo.html once again im sorry for the posts but i read through and i see people say “ya i fixed it” and im always thinking – ya and how do u fix it? so im posting it.
hey if any1 else is like me and cant do crap then i figured out part of it in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS i found the files locale-enUS.MPQ and patch-enUS.MPQ so i copied those up into just C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data (thats one folder up) and when i run the extract-enUS it find those and extracts from those, only thing is i cant find the patch-enUS-2.MPQ so ima keep lookin any help would be appreciated, sorry for being so annoying and posting so many comments.
@vilexan
On step 7 of the install guide there is a forgotton part:
create username password
to create the account
–forgoton part:
setbc username 1
setgm username (1–3)
for example setgm myusername 3
You can double check by looking at the 4703 install guide and go to the same section where you are required to set the account
Reaper,
TYVM for the guide, i have one slight problem. I can log in fine nad everything, but the draenei and Blood Elves are greyed out. I cannot select them. Is there something that i missed or left out? Thank you
@MelTorefas
It looks like you need to run the following command on the mangos server:
setbc [username] 1
@aznex
The easiest way to see what commands are valid is to use SQLyog (free download) open up the Mangos section of the DB and there is an entry call command. Right click that one and export that entry as an HTML file to easily see what commands you can use.
@Reaper-X
Thank you for making the tutorial. I just started looking at these server files a week ago and have had a lot of fun learning about how all these systems work together. Side not if you get the latest version of Mangos from the svn hey do have a lot more cammands now then they did on this version you have. I’m sorry to say I was trying to get the custom vendors running as well, but when I did it seemed to currumpt my DB (good thing I made a backup :) )
Will the .subname command work here?
if not, could you tell me how to enable it?
Thanks for this guide, no problems except one… no expansion races? (Yes I DO have the expansion :P)
Sorry if this is covered somewhere, but I only just found this site and have no idea how to go about looking…
Ok never mind I figured it out.
I forgot to make sure mangosd.exe and realmd.exe were open and running in the background. I connected right away with those running.
Hope that helps tjsix
I’m in the same boat as tjsix.
I did all the steps correctly and got no errors but when I try to log in I just get the “unable to connect” message.
I remember being able to do this last year; What are the files that you need to open to #1 see the item number of specific items and #2 the loot tables of every mob in the game?
now im really stuck if you ever get around to reading this ill prolly be asleep but now im stuck at “Incorrect DataDir value in mangosd.conf or ALL required *.dbc files not foiund by path: C:\program files\worldofwarcraft\dbc” and i had trouble with that whole dbc extract en us things they wouldnt work for me, i would double click them, the command promp would show up and go away and nothing was given to me so…
ok cut those last posts i looked it up and i found it out
I have installed everything properly and everything seems to be running fine but when I try to log into WoW it says unable to connect, am I doing something wrong? realmlist.wtf is set to 127.0.0.1 like it should be, what is going on?
i got that error then i did the vmap_assembler and vmapextract_v2 and then i get this error
“check existing of map file ‘create/maps/0004331′: not exist! Correct *.map files not found in path ‘creat/maps’ or *.vmap/*vmdir files in ‘create/vmaps’. Please place *.map/*.vmap/*vmdir files in appropriate directories or correct the datadir value in the magosd.conf file.”
hi im getting an error… i get all the way to opening up mangosd and realmd and when i open mangos it says that the map 0004331 thing doesnt exist and i know it exists i have it but i know its not in the right folder and maybe thats why its not reading it, could you help me put it in the right folder?
I am excited to see this work no comments so i am happy to be the first GOOD WORK!
