Reaper Mangos 5005 – Easy WoW Private Server for WoW 2.3.2

NOTE: The next version following this will be released Sunday Afternoon!

Header Notes: Since this is my first compile I left out some stuff on accident. Nothing big but still I appologize. There will be a revision following this on Sunday evening fixing all the stuff I left out.
*ScriptDev2
*Transports going Crazy in mangosd.exe file
*Updated SQL Made for 2.3.2 instead of just a compatible version.
*Option in Batch file whether or not to install vendors on GM Island.
*FIXED Lan Party Option in Batch File
*AH-BOT is Now Going to be Included!!!
*Weather System Fixed!

Another Mangos release again after the last 4875 release (that is released one month ago), and this time the release uses Mangos Core 5005 which was written by Jared (Oatman). In this release we are providing support for patch 2.3.2 along with ScriptDev 218, and UDB 334. In this release all the boats are fixed and many new things have been added. Since this is my first release for you guys, I hope it is not buggy. I have tested it multiple times and everything seems to be ok. Although, I am 100% positive that the backup tool works. So before you go to the upgrade folder, go to the normal batch file and backup your database.

And yet another note, I will not be providing support for the MaNGOS Mod. Instead I am going to include the Mod’s already into the game because it is confusing to have to decide than switch back if a update is not provided for it. Oh and by the way, the only Mod in this release is the custom NPC Vendors. So here is a side note for everyone using Reaper’s Previous MaNGOS Mod.

If your using MaNGOSMod
Go into your database and change mangosmod to mangos, and realmdmod to realmd and charactersmod to characters. From this point you may run the upgrade wizard and update and get back on track with updates. Since I have re-written the batch files, they are alot more customizeable so you may not have to change your database name. (This has not been tested, so backup before you do so.)

Group Together

REQUIREMENTS:

1. MySQL Database and the Guide on how to Install MySQL

2. World of Warcraft Client version 2.3.0 or 2.3.2

3. Updated DBC’s, VMAP’s, and MAPS.—Extraction Tools Included in Release Under Tools.

-Already Extracted 2.3.2 DBC Files

4. Mangos Server :

Reaper Mangos 5005 SD2 218 UDB FULL | 14.3 MB | File Beam
Reaper Mangos 5005 SD2 218 UDB FULL | 14.3 MB | Rapidshare
Reaper Mangos 5005 SD2 218 UDB FULL | 14.3 MB | Mega Upload

Updated Batch file to fix lan party configurator : Updated 5005 Batch File .. To use it just overwrite the reaper-x-mangos.bat with this one ;)

Fresh Install:
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)–This only happens if your extracting from patch 2.3.0

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 Input Directory

4. Selection Option 1 by pressing “1″ on the keyboard and pressing enter.
Note: This will wipe out any previous versions of WoW you have in your database.

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

By the way, 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

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 4875 Release:

1. Re-extract vmaps, maps and dbc because this version no longer supports the old World of Warcraft 2.3.0 installation and only supports the new 2.3.2

2. Go into your WoW Reaper Server Directory, and open reaper-eazy-mangos. Next I recommend opening the batch file and backing up your character data. This is optional though.

3. Open the Folder called “Upgrade” and run reaper-x-upgrade.bat.

4. Next type in the directory to the Bin Folder where your mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe files are located.

5. Then make sure that you are upgrading from the latest previous version or else you WILL corrupt your database and possibly lose your character data.
Upgrade Warning

If you have any questions or concerns, please post them below and Reaper, The Community, and I will be glad to assist you. :)

Hooray for Oatman!

@Thomasfromnorway: (who said) made a lot of servers with ease untill a couple of days ago.. my computer said bye bye.

Active Databases are brutal on hardware. The Wow server databases write ‘A LOT’ to your disk ‘OFTEN’ and if you are using old hardware I would strongly encourage (suggest) putting the DATA folder for your MySQL data on a second drive so that you won’t lose your system when the database burns a hole in your disk.

I had the same thing when I started playing with running servers and getting 3,4,6 people on at once to do groups. Bam crash reboot wont start up had to format and reinstall windows. DAAT goes on D: now and nothing crucial is on that drive – backup data daily or more so can’t lose system again. MySQL seems very nice about just letting you backup the DATA folder and restore it as needed.

@weiss935: I said twice above but will say again if Mangosd keep scrolling info and wont pause so you can type “create wowplayer password”

It is because the LogLevel in the config file is set to a high number like 3. Chaneg it to lower like 0 if you dont want that.

Second point being made AGAIN is you can still type despite the LOG information. Input and output window is shared because its a command prompt application like from the old days. Just because its throwing text at you doesnt stop you from typing and it ermembers what you type and doesn’t mix it with the displayed text so you can type

you type>[Enter]
(some junk gets displayed)
you type> create (space)
(more junk gets displayed)
you type> wowuser (space)
(more junk gets displayed)
you type> userpassword [ENTER]

voila

Qik minor bug report – not sure if anyone reported this bug yet already – but ‘roaming vendors’ like the bread pie vendors in IF won’t stop walking when you try to trade with them. Better to make them stop walking around if that can’t be fixed to pause walking while trading I think.

Hi there, I really appreciate all the hard work the two of you have applied to this. So I first want to say thank you.

I have a few questions to ask;
Will you be reapplying the setrep feature in the GMCommand list?
Is there a way to add custom titles to your players names? I.E. A character is named “Oatman” changed to “Oatman the Man”

Thanks again for your time

I’m having the same problem as DarkDarkDark…realmd and mangosd exit immediately. its my understanding that its a config file problem, but I can’t tell which line is wrong. I had 4875 working perfectly and tried to upgrade which didn’t work for me, so I started over with fresh install, map extractions etc, so everything should be fine. I try to edit the mangosd config file manually but that still doesnt make it work. Any other suggestions, that haven’t been shared previously?

** Weiss935

go to your mangosd conf file, open, look for the area, Edit the DataDir information to where you have your datafiles, ie, dbc, maps, vmaps data files.

could look like this— “C:/mangos/data”

** Weiss935
when you start your program Mangosd, at the end you will see mangos>
you will need to type “create playername password”

Like (create weiss 935) then press enter

you should get a message “user weiss password 935 created successfully”

Enjoy :)

Thomas:

If you followed the directions, I believe your user id will be “root”. I am guessing that you installed your db program following Reaper-X’s instructions.

Hope this helps

my above post edited out some information.

after your make your data folder, copy your data files into the directory (c:/mangos/data) then go to your mangosd conf file

edit the data directory settings to your new data path – datadir = “c:/mangos/data”

:O

I can help you there.

Create a root file in your C Drive ( or whatever your main drive is) such as:

c:/mangos

or what ever you want to call your data area.

open c:/mangos and make a folder /data. Should look like >> c:/mangos/data <> DataDir = “C:/mangos/data”

Hope this helps.

Hey Reaper=D Ive been following your guides and made a lot of servers with ease untill a couple of days ago.. my computer said bye bye and i had to get a new one, and the new one happened to have Windows Vista installed=( so my question is, can you install this on Vista? i tried but i said that MySQL is not a recognizable database, and i asked for my MySQL username. what is the username, and do i have to wait untill there is published something for vista?:( I love your work, thank you SO much! Keep it up:)

# jake and other who’s having problem with the lan configurator not working

I’m sorry but it seems that Oatman missed something when editing the batch file (it’s just missing some words lol)

to fix it, get the updated batch file i just uploaded today ;)

# nathan

Based on your previous message it seems that you’re having problem with certain maps file can’t be found although the actual file is there and not mysql related problem

now could you try moving the maps directory, vmaps, and dbc into some other directory with shorter name such as :

C:\WoW\data

and then reconfigure your the mangosd.conf to point the datadir to that new location

# Sephiroth

Ah actually if you want to fly in azeroth (riding swift nether drake) you can type :

.aura 37015 and to remove the aura you just need to type .unaura 37015

as for emote, i haven’t tried it yet so i can’t tell you about it :D

# Colt45

I’m sorry i deleted your other comment because well i already understand the problem (and because its too loong) :)

as for your question, it seems that you didn’t install the database properly because the auctionhouse table can’t be found and various other table too

to fix it :

Try reinstalling the database using reaper-x-mangos.bat ;)

‘root’ and ‘password’ are determined when you setup MySQL. I set the username as root and the password as password. Whatever you set it up as, put those words in place of mine and it should work.
