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

Hey Reaper, I’ve been looking all over the place for a solution but can’t find one… The DBC extraction isn’t working for me, apparently because I use Vista (not my choice), and was hoping you could make a manual download link. I hate to be a bother, but I wouldn’t be asking this if I hand’t already spent a matter of months trying to accomplish this myself. :P
reaper, when you say old wow version 2.2.3 you mean the patch for wow not mangos right?
# Steve
I’ll let you know when it’s already finished :D
# JERRY
Wow thats great, perhaps i should create ascent release too lol
# tmusa13
That’s correct .. and all you have to do is just wait until it finished :D
# guamish
Try turning off GM Mode ( .gm off ;)
# Aaron
Based from your description it seems that you’re still using the old wow 2.2.3 because the previous ItemExtendedCost.dbc have 13 fields (if you take a look inside it using dbc editor) while the new 2.3.0 version have 14 fields ;)
ok just to be clear it goes to 96% and says:
2007-12-24 17:22:04 Initialize data stores…
2007-12-24 17:22:05 ERROR:
Some required *.dbc files (1 from 48) not found or not compatible:
C:/Program Files/World of Warcraft/Data/dbc/ItemExtendedCost.dbc (exist, but have 13 fields instead 14) Wrong client version DBC file?
i checked to see ifthe file ItemExtendedCost.dbc was in the dbc folder and it was so i think either the dbc folder is messed up or the itemextendedcost.dbc file is messed up.
ok im still getting trouble with 96% serousily i tried changing the datadir in mangosd.conf to go like this:
DataDir = “C:/Program Files/World of Warcraft/Data”
(if it hasnt been messed with it will have “\” instead of “/” so i guess you need to change it.
btw thats exactly how mine looks and for some reason you guys have mangos/data. anywase i still get 96% and then it brings up the same message as everyone else about the dbc. can anyone shed some light on the situation?
hey chase, about the patch-enUS-2.MPQ file. reaper said you dont need to worry about that or any files with -2 after it. although i got the same problem with the mangosd it loaded to 96% than said it couldnt find a file so i think something might be wrong with the new 4875 release… dont know yet. if anyone has an idea on what i might be doing wrong im watching the comments.
merry christmas.
after i put my root password in cmd gets something like letters but sentences and it is short, the says press ant key, so i pressed 1 and men its like matrix does it is long?
I have a problem. everything works just fine except when im playing every npc is yellow like they wont attack unless u attack em but if u attack they wont attack i cant get anyone to attack me but if i add lets say illidan in orgrimmar then the gaurds will hit him but not vice versa
Gratz on 2.3 Reaper
but i dont make Mango servers anymore i make Anscent ones but still good guides =D
Absolutely stunning, downloaded this yesterday, up and running first attempt perfectly. Any idea when te custom version will be available?
Great work!!!
Upgrading/fresh installing over my 4703 instance gave me troubles – chars not showing up but names still held by DB (”name invalid”), as well as following error in Mangos console:
ERROR: Player #2 have broken data in `data` field. Can’t be loaded.
So downgraded to 2.2.3, reinstalled 4703 fresh (after backing up & then restoring char info) same deal, although now the char creation mentions an error when creating chars with existing names – “error creating character”
Did the upgrade to 2.3, fresh install of 4875 … and the chars are back ^.^
No idea how or why, but posting this in case it helps anyone~
hey thnx for this great guide u r rly amazing and i was just wandering how do i et people onto my server. i have read your guide and i just dont understand it…maybe if u can explain it to me easier i might be able to….i would rly appreciate it!!!! Happy Holidays!!!!
//offtopic
Don’t know how to delete my other posts.
Just wanna say that everything seems to be working now.It was some glitch with my system.Installed mysql-5.0.18-win32(the only one I hadn’t tried out)and manually deleted Windows registry entries and files from old installs,reextracted mps,vmps,dbc and now seems to be OK :D
10x again Reaper for the great guide and info.Hope you continue development. :D
nope i have no legendary items…
wud it be alright if i send u my 4651-made-backup thru email, and u update it to work with this mangos release ? caz i have tried everythin, it doesnt work properly :(
@Reaper-X
Sry for posting again,but my problem persists after more than 10 reextracts and reintalls.The second character I create(no matter which acc is used) bugs the server(or database,not sure),and the character list doesn’t show any chars(but the server remembers their names).
Fresh installed,no errors as far as I can see.I’m open to any suggestions.
10x in advance and happy holidays! :D
# Everyone
I’m really sorry for late reply because for the last few days i’m having a connection problem (not connection problem actually because the problem lies in my telephone line and i had to call the telephone company support line) :(
# foblivion
do you have legendary items on your character that can be used on specific area only ? because if you have those items it’ll be deleted automatically (unlike before)
for example, nether spikes, nether long bow, etc
# Fitz
Yes, usually patch-2, or xxx-2.mpq usually reappeared again on the minor update of WoW (for example 2.3.x where x is higher than 0)
# Carnivor
Thank you very much, i forgot to mention those command in this guide, i’ll update this post
# Chrisb
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.
Your welcome Chrisb :) .. well actually if you don’t mind and want to share your own compiled mangos too i’d be delighted to put it here :)
have u guyz successfully upgraded from 4703 or restored database ?
When i ‘upgrade’, as soon as I login the game with any character… it has no clothes, no spells, nothin…
Someone plz help me upgrade my SQL to make my account/character db work with this mangos release…
@Vax from forever ago
i had the 96% error and i deleted the patch 2 and patch enUS 2 mpqs and ran the extractor again and it worked fine for me. They no longer have those two files so using them makes it outdated.
Sorry I was wrong on the BC part
Yeah atm you cant access the burning crusade contents (outlands, new races) except for lvl 60-70 gear. The other thing to note is that enchanting does not work either
There is a setting not mantioned in the guide.When you create an account you shoud:
mangos>create USERNAME PASSWORD
mangos>setbc USER 1
mangos>setgm USER #
“#” is the desired gm privilege ranging from 1 to 3(3 being the best ;) )
I cannot get the burning crusades to work! When i go to character creation, it just wont allow me to pick blood elves (its grayed out).
I have the real game and have been playing on the regular server for a long time now.
I also checked that the option to check for the expansion in the config file is set to “1″ and it still doesn’t work. Does anyone else know what could be wrong?
I have an odd problem.After having much trouble with MySQL, everything seemed to be ok with MySQL 6.0alpha,but it was not to be…
I log in,crate a char,everything is OK,but after i create a second character(from that or any other account) everything in the character list disappears.The server remembers the chars’ names,but does not show them,so I(end everyone else) can’t log in.
Can someone pls hlp?I tried reinstalling the DB an it still doeasn’t work.Fresh installed everything.
I tried doing this, everything worked, except, I get this error

I see that the problem is that it is looking for /vmaps, but windows uses \vmaps. how do i change that?
@foblivion
did you go the the folder that said “update” that was in reapers-easy mangos that should fix that problem
@Reaper
Thanks For another release i will be waiting for your next release
To All
Happy Holidays
I did a fresh install.. everythin went perfect, the game runs…
BUT BUT BUT
I m not able to restore my character/realm database which I backuped from ReaperMangos4651.
I even tried renaming the file ‘backup-db.sql’ to ‘backup-char.sql’ which helped in a successful import in Database. But no characters were being displayed when i loggen in.
@ Reaper: how do i make my database backup work with this mangos release? Shud i send u an email again?
I followed all the steps completely but when i start up mangosd and realmd mangosd seems to work fine but realmd gives error could not connect to mysql database at 1.0.0.127: can’t connect to mysql server on 1.0.0.127 (10060)
^ I think that is not even a problem. It DOES extract the REQUIRED DBC files. We can ignore the Patch-enUS-2.MPQ error caz these extractor files are old ones… now after patch 2.3.0 , that file doesnt even exist.
Im also not able to extract the DBC, bcaz of
‘Could not locat MPQ archive Patch-enUS-2.MPQ’
Already done that, maybe mangosd is looking for WoW Bc maps, i does not currently got BC installed, might that be the problem ?
Nice work! Tested few days now and everything works very good :)
I also tested MySQL 5.1 beta with this 4875 and no problems.
Thanks alot Reaper =)
ok i figured it out, i had to delete all of my files and then reinstall them, now im at the part where it gets to 96% and fails, and so i downloaded from the links that chase had, although the first one doesnt work.
So now i have just one thing left to download but his link doesnt work, any help?
Shoot, i actually meant Iamtheone, not Erik, i would edit, but it won’t let me.
I’m getting the same thing as Erik.
When i run mangosd it tell me that i cannot connect to MySQL at 127.0.0.1
well i just tried a fresh install again, and still the same thing, cannot connect ><
@ Chrisb
i did a fresh install. several times. and the error still occurs.
i am doing it from a copy of WoW, i made a folder and copied the entire WoW folder into it and i am doing all the emulation from there. that’s how i have always done it and i’ve never had a problem before, but now it’s not letting me run mangosd.exe and without that i cannot start the realm.
i may attempt another install but having tried 4+ times already i doubt it will be any different this time.
one note: I always have the problem where Mangos can’t find msvcr71.dll even though I have both .net 1.x and 2 installed.
Easy fix for anyone else that has this problem is too look for the file on your computer and copy it too your mangod directory. problem fixed.
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Helped me so much, and everyone should make sure they have microsoft .net 2.0 installed!
Erik:
Run reaper-x-mangos.bat inside of the reaper-easy-mangos dir. When the menu comes up choose option “4″ and it will ask you where you put those files. Option 2 will be to edit the mangosd.conf file and manually put in the location in the DataDir section.
Hello, when I start mangosd I get this message
http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mangoosop8.png
Yes I’ve extracted the maps as the guide told me, but i cant get it to work.
\\Erik, Swe
I’m getting the same problem as Blaze, Telling me that my DBC has 14 lines instead of the required 13.
Hey, I’m having a problem with the extract of dbc… it tells me that the aplication failed to inicialize…The system cannot find the file especified….
I tried to follow every tutorial or tip that i got but nothing works..
Can anyone post the complet dbc in archive .rar?
Nevermind, i figured it out.
Reaper, does this build include the recently released v0.9 UDB database, or is it still the older version?
Hello.. i got some problems finding the password to put in “Fresh install” ..
were is it :O
When i run Mangosd.exe and realmsd.exe…. and attempt to create a new account, it tells me that realmd.realmcharacters realmd.accounts realmd.realms list are all missing
Yeah I’m having the same trouble. Getting errors with missing .dll files even tho they are in the frekkin right place. Maps and Vmaps extracted without any problems. This is the first in 5 different mangos servers ive used that i couldnt solve the problem. So an upload of the DBC files for 2.3.0 enGB would be lovely!
@Chrisb: Thanks for the tip, although it didnt help me. So far I used the upgrade batch file (after making a manual backup using the eazy menu), followed by a “fresh install” through the eazy menu. I created a new character & am now comparing their sections in the backup-char.sql file, see if I can spot the differences (missing fields or spaces) – if such a thing is even possible.
hey can someone upload a good copy of the dbc folder that works plz? it would make life soo much easier for half the ppl who posted on this page. :D thank you
Hey! I’m running vista 64 and when I run the DBC extracting I get fatal errors because of missing .dll files. The .dll file in question is located in the correct location even though I get errors. Anyway someone could upload the 2.3.0 enGB DBC files?
Thankyou!
