Reaper Mangos 4875 – Easy WoW Private Server for WoW 2.3.0

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 ;)

Flying in azeroth

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 :

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) ;)

MySQL installation directory

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 … :)

Mangos Database Installation

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

Editing Mangosd.conf

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

Creating account in mangos

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

Cannot connect to my own server, but mangosd and realmd run perfectly fine.
All installs, extractions, and file placements seem to be in order. No error messages were received during the whole process except one while configuring MySLQ (and those that you stated could be safely ignored about patch-2). It was something like:

Error with Port 3306 (or whichever the default was). Check with personal firewalls or other programs that may be occupying the port.

At the time, I turned off my Norton personal firewall (which I did not know was up) and hit retry, and the error was apparently corrected (and hopefully not just bypassed).

I guess what I want to know is, is there some way something may be taking up that port or preventing me from accessing my own server, that I have yet to fix? How would I go about doing that?

MySLQ seems to have finished its full configuration, as I can communicate with it using the command in your example. Maybe I need to redo that using a different port?

Please help. All suggestions appreciated and Happy New Year.

I have the same problem as Pavel. When I went into the Black Temple. There are a lot of guys just standing around. Shouldn’t there be more patrols, and stuff moving around. I can attack them, but they just don’t move around. Also some creature types I can’t attack. Well, half of them I can’t attack at all. Anyone know what’s up? Later, and Happy New Year.

Hi :)

First of all, Happy New Years!!
Second, Thanks a LOT for you AWESOME guides!

And finally third, a question.
I followed the guides and made a server for myself which sort of works fine.
I have several Issues though.
*Boats (from Exodar for example) crash the game when they are supposed to zone.
*There is a lack of activatable items (in instaces and Raids, for example, the control consoles you need to click in order to get to Vashj, and her Shield Generators).
*And finally, events dont seem to work, mostly in instances and raids. Mobs dont patrol, Bosses just stand there, and during the fight with Kael’Thas for example, he just fights you til he dies, while the council just stands there, untargetable, and he doesnt go through any phases.

Did I do something wrong? did i miss something?

Thank You!

I just wanted to post to say thanks a million to Reaper-X. I stumbled onto this site yesterday and got my own server running today with little difficulty. The only minor problem I had was not knowing that I had to have .Net Framework 2 installed for the DBC extraction. Fantastic guide and great fun getting those Legendary weapons at last! :)

I’m not sure if this will help, but you might have to start over. I’ve had to delete my folders before I could start over. It sucks having to start over, but I eventually got it running. So try deleting all the other files except the files you started with. Run the programs in order in the list, and see if that helps. There’s also a whole section on the website about extracting the files in the proper folders and such. Hope this helps. Later.

Hey guys. I set up my server, and everything is going great so far on the test run. Just have to get it set up for a LAN party. Anyway. I found out a tip for those of you who are having a problem with the stats not being high enough at level 255. Well there is a stat cap on the server. In other words. When you get to a certain stat number, it resets the stats and goes from there. I found that the safest level for maximum stats is about 137. Somewhere in that range. If you are looking for a complete talent tree, there is a gm command further up that will allow you to learn all your talents. :). Anyway. Hope this helps guys. Later. Nice guide Reaper. Was a bit confusing at first, but once I read some other stuff I figured it out. :).

@Mod

Looks like the password you’re supplying for MySQL is wrong or it’s installed incorrectly. Try uninstalling MySQL, and then reinstall following the installation instructions from the link at the top, there’s a couple of points to watch, other than that, I don’t know.

The patch-2 and patch-enus-2 are provided in Reapers mangos zip file, just put the patch-2 in your WoW\data dir and the patch-enus-2 in your WoW\data\enUS dir and it should work fine. Also instead of using extract-enUS.bat, I just used the provided wow230-dbc.exe to extract the dbc files. Hope this helps.

I patched from reaper-mangos.v4703 and when i tried to use superior healing potions during in combat it said : “I cant drink any more of them”. I tried to add superior healing potions in gm mode and drink that it worked.
So this new (4875) release makes my old (4703) stuff useless?

Can it have something to do that the instalation in step 4 didnt work and i had to do it manually by using cmd.

First i typed:
cd C:\Mangos\reaper-eazy-mangos
And after that i one bye one typed these commands in.
mysql -u root -p -v < create_structure.sql
mysql -u root -p -v -D realmd < realmd.sql
mysql -u root -p -v -D characters < characters.sql
mysql -u root -p -v -D mangos < mangos-udb.sql

And it seemed to work because that matrix (Lol) Came inside CMD.

@ Clockwork and Mod;

The error you’re getting Access denied for user ‘mangos’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)”

I had similar errors when I ran the install batch file and had not correctly specified the MySQL folder (you must make sure you include the ‘bin’ in the path, i.e. c:\mysql\bin). This is option ‘1′ on the installer. Also make sure you’ve supplied the correct root password (the one you gave when first installing MySQL).

Remedy by running the batch file again, making sure the path is correct.

The other place you can go wrong is when running option 4, and giving a bad path to folder the files exported from the WoW client.

probably best to run both 1 and 4 again, checking the paths are rigt. It took me a couple of goes.

Hope this helps.
