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. :)

oatman I was thinking more of not putting new npc’s but have the ones in game change to x2 or x3 or x3.5 on a lvl cap. but it be easyer if some one has a db for npc for a 255 lvl cap server. Ex: there is a kpsden server they have it set up to a 255 lvl cap and there npc in out land go up to lvl 255 on other areas they go up to 155.

Comments:
Did the upgrade rather than fresh install.
I thought I might try a fresh install and hope its better, but after reading these [posts and playing with it a bit, think I will just go back go 4875.

Manogs constantly displays the boat moving output to screen making it harder to track errors that occur.
You should either supress those, or give the option to supress in a config file. (default set to supress)

There Several Spell ID errors.

other observations:
when swiming, (not underwater) you get the breathing thing and can drown, even though you are not underwater)

Webwood Spiders in Shadowglen (and other mobs) bounce up and down out of the ground

aggro math (possibly aggro range) is incorrect.
(try to take a normal lvl 5 toon into the webwood cave..you will have about 15 spiders on you before you get in the cave entrance)
Seems that way with all mobs vs toons 1-3 lvls lower than mob…they come at you from really far away.

On the minimap, new quest icons (yellow !) show up as completed quest icon(yellow ?) ; completed quest icon (yellow ?) shows up as a repeatable quest icon (blue ?)

mouse dissapears completely when try to click on NPC to turn in quest.

encountered numberous mobs inside of the inns and banks.

Perhaps I did something wrong, dunno..worked find before and update when smoothly.

Anybody else notice these things?

Thanks.

Would it be possible to get the updated .dbc files uploaded ssomewhere, because the extractors included never seam to work. Allways says the files cannot be found. All the files were put into “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\data\enUS” where the readme said.

Nah your doing a good job as it is keep it up man and thanks for both of your hard work. By the way do u know where I can get some Info on how to set up a fun server? My lvl cap is set to 255 and I want to edit db so the npc are set to higher lvl so ppl can lvl of them and plus so down the road npc’s wont be on easy kill.

Jakalth said Jan 12, 2008 at 8:38 am

Ooh, one other note: if you do not wish too see the boats being moved, you can change this line in the mangos.conf file:

# Server console level of logging
# 0 = Minimum; 1 = Basic&Error; 2 = Detail; 3 = Full/Debug
# Default: 0
# recommend: 1
LogLevel = 3

Changing it too: LogLevel = 1 will stop it from constantly posting all the state changes that take place on the server, like the boats moving for example.

I used the batch file from the previous release too configure the ip, and it worked. Wouldn’t recommend using any of the other features of the previous batch file since they might not be compatable. From a quick test of the server, everything is there and seems too be running smoothly. At least in darkshore it is. Looks good so far. No character data lost either, thats better then my last attempt at an update install.

Thanks Oatman.

Jakalth said Jan 12, 2008 at 8:19 am

The configure batch file has a slight problem. When I run the configure editor it edits the config file but it leaves two different data directory entries in the config file. The first one has the default setting while the second one is the one edited by the batch file. The batch file also does not remove the old xp and drop rate lines in the config file.

Another problem is the option too configure mangos for lan has an issue. It allows you too set the ip address correctly, but after you put in the server name it gives this error:

‘What’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

it says that twice then says it can not accept connection from password/host… something like that.

Note: Ok, found out why… the batch file does not ask for the mysql password so it is unable too access the database…

So is there anything special you have to do to get scriptdev to work cause all the mobs and bosses still don’t use their abilities but just melee.

Thank you for the great work!

My question: When I attempt to change the server name, I get this following.

What is your desired realm name ?

“My realm name”

‘What’ is nto recongnized as an internet or external command, operable program or batch file.

How do I get the realm name changed?

Thank you in advance!
