Reaper Mangos 5082 – Easy WoW Private Server for WoW 2.3.3
Posted by Reaper-X Jan 26 2008 9:58 am
Here we go again, another important and vital patch. Previously we took a vote using comments on the site and asked would you prefer a update that runs 2.3.3 or wait for a more compatible version. Well after countless tests on our Test-Server we have found only 2 very small bugs while running it. I highly recommend updating to this version because it applys major updates to the database and provides 2.3.3 support!
Updated in this Revision:
- Support for Patch 2.3.3
- ScriptDev2 Updated to 241
- AuctionHouse Improvements
- More Compatible Database
- New Quests
- New Items
- New Objects
- New NPC’s
- Stormwind has 1/10th more NPC’s
- Bug with humans getting confused with orcs by NPC’s
- Zones Redone:
- Blasted Lands
- Swamp of Sorrows
- Deadwind Pass
- StrangleThorn Vale
- Duskwood
- Westfall
- Redridge Mountains
- Fix one Karazhan quest by adding missing spawns
REQUIREMENTS:
1. MySQL Database and the Guide on how to Install MySQL
2. World of Warcraft Client version 2.3.3
3. Updated DBC’s, VMAP’s, and MAPS Updated for 2.3.3!
DBC’s are already included as part of this release!
4. Mangos Server :
Reaper Mangos 5116 Has been released, so grab the new 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) ;)
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 5045 Release:
1. Re-extract vmaps, maps and dbc because this version no longer supports the old World of Warcraft 2.3.2 installation and only supports the new 2.3.3
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.
Guide on how to Edit Mangos.Conf
Thanks for the Mangosd.conf edit guide Jeremy!
First off make sure that you have your MySQL running before doing anything.
You need to go back into the reaper folder (C:\Reaper-X-Easy-MaNGOS\reaper-eazy-mangos)
And run the batch file called reaper-x-mangos, there is an option there to setup your LAN or IP for use, This new batch file does correctly setup your DB to the IP you enter in this batch file. Once you’ve done that, if you haven’t gone back in to edit the config files in your reaper folder mentioned above, you need to do that, there is a section in there with this.
# Data directory setting.
# Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may
# contain space characters.
DataDir = “C:\Reaper-X\data”
This is an example of waht it may look like. You need to change this to the path where you put your data folder with the maps, vmaps, and dbc’s.
Second, …
# Database connection settings for the world server.
# Default: hostname;port;username;password;database
# .;somenumber;username;password;database – use named pipes at Windows
# Named pipes: mySQL required adding “enable-named-pipe” to [mysqld] section my.ini
# .;/path/to/unix_socket;username;password;database – use Unix sockets at Unix/Linux
# Unix sockets: experimental, not tested
LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;realmd”
WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;mangos”
CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;characters”
Above, you need to change the MANGO;MANGOS to your root DB name, likey it’s just root, and YOUR batabase (DB) password (you should know this)
YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE IP’S here or in the realmd file, ONLY THROUGH THAT BATCH FILE, i mentioned above. (that file does it for you)
Next open scriptdev2.conf and realmd.conf and edit the info for them to connect to your database as well.
Hope you enjoy this release if you have any questions feel free to post them as a comment below!

If u do .lookup creature and then trinket vendor or any server vendor else and if i spawn it there arent vendors the must to be a vendor but the are not how can i make these vendor?
well oatman and reaper and all the people behind you i want to say ty very much you have made an old man very happy and helped now i have 30 teens in the halfway and i hope god rewards you guys in life with nothing but good thing bless you all and keep up the good things you guys do.
I have the same problem as Andrew Bennet. I’ve been using mangos for a year. I’ve changed the data dir many times. It still wont accept it. always says:
“dir files in ‘@prefix@/share/mangos/vmaps’. Please place *.map/*.vmap/*.vmdir fi
les in appropriate directories or correct the DataDir value in the mangosd.conf
file.” Shouldnt it say dir files in ‘C:\where i put it\data’?
Quick question. When I built my new dbc, maps, vmaps folders for delivery to the production server data folder, I noted the following files are not in the current build. Should I remove these EXTRA dbc files or are the unlikely to cause a problem? Flip side question are they needed and should people doing “fresh installs” maybe go back to older releases and retrieve these missing dbc files?
Robocopy warning list:

When i open my mangosd and realmd it say cant found MSVCR71.dll WHY can some one help me plz!! :((

#Everyone that needs help
hi, first things first , great job with this release, cant wait to one-shot vashj on my own server, now my problem : i changed my mangosd.conf into the way it should be , but still im getting an error when i try to run mangosd.exe : cannot connect to world database xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3306;root…
anyone got any idea ?
thank you in advance :D
#Death Scythe
Have you forwarded ports 8085, 3306 and 3724? (TCP)
-JediKnight
#Race Zyzy
Try deleting the “set patchlist” line in your realmlist.wtf file.
#bakaslayer
If vmap.enableLOS is enabled then you will have working line of sight. If vmap.enableHeight is enabled then you will have working height calculations.
#Martin
Have you edited the mangosd.conf file?
If not try dropping all your mysql databases (with phpmyadmin for example) and then repeat step 4.
Also make sure the mysql username you’re using has all privileges.
#wow
Try enabling DetectPosCollision in your mangosd.conf file.
#andrew bennett
Have you extracted maps and vmaps?
If yes have you set the correct path to your data folder?
If yes try replacing “\” with “/”.
If that doesn’t work try re-extracting your maps and vmaps.
#Raver
Have you ran both mangosd.exe and realmd.exe?
If yes have you forwarded the ports that mangos uses? The ports are 3306 and 8085 i believe.
-JediKnight
how do i send you my character dump
I am having trouble connecting to my private server from the WoW client. It is version 2.3.3.7799. I have changed the realmd.conf file to point to localhost (127.0.0.1). When I launch wow (from the launcher or from wow.exe) and attempt to login, I get the following error message in the client “Unable to validate game version. This may be caused by file corruption or the interference of another program. Please visit http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=21370 for more information and possible solutions to this issue.” When I go there it talk about the existance of trojans. If I change the realmlist to point to blizzard and login to my usual account everything is fine.
Edit:
mysql -u[username] -p[password]
replacing [username] and [password] with your db username and password, respectively.
for some reason pointy brackets don’t show up.
@Martin
run a mysql instance manually:
mysql -u -p
replacing and with your username and password.
type:
use mangos;
then type:
show tables;
you should get a list of tables in the mangos db. Can you see locales_page_text? It should be between locales_npc_text and locales_quest.
If the table is not there, it wasn’t extracted properly, meaning you might have had the wrong permissions on your mysql server when you tried to install. If it is there but it’s empty, you likely got an error while installing but didn’t notice it because the lines just fly by. Perhaps try upgrading your mysql db version? What platform are you using?
@ Raver
Are you sure you forwarded the ports properly? TCP 8085 and 3724
i just noticed a difference in my mangos.conf file my old on had
vmap.enableLOS = 1
vmap.enableHeight = 1
the new one is
vmap.enableLOS = 0
vmap.enableHeight = 0
is that right?
hi there is a small bug, at lady vashj , when mobs_ enchanted elemental appear from the water, they fell underground and we cant kill them
I updated my server and it starts normally.
I changed my LAN IP address with reaper-x.bat to my external ip.
I put at realmlist.wtf my external ip and edited the conf files ( 127.0.0.1;3306;root;mypassword;…).
But when i try to log in it STOPS at SUCCESS or if i cancel that it assigns me to the realm and STOPS at LOGGING IN TO GAME SERVER.
PLEASE HELP!
Hey, Is there Any way i can add my own itemset ? Like make my own one
everytime i up the amount of auctions in the mangos.conf to more than 4000 my mangos hangs after loading and i cant log in any ideas??
how do i send you my character backup
Hey again.. I didnt get an answear to my question further up..
I get this error message:
2008-01-26 18:18:23 ERROR:query ERROR: Table ‘mangos.locales_page_text’ doesn’t exist
2008-01-26 18:18:23

2008-01-26 18:18:23 ERROR:Error loading `gameobject_template` table (not exist?)
How do I fix that? I have used the update, re-extracted all stuff and even re-installed the entire server. What could be wrong? :(
oh yeh, the trackback thats on here is also to my blog.

#Everyone that needs help
Hi again, I seem to be the only person having this problem with skinning. I’ve found that it seems to work sometimes and others not, and it also seems to sometimes fix itself just by logging out and back in again.
Is there any way I can see what’s happening on the server side of things when I’m skinning something to see why I’m not getting anything?
Thanks
Works like a charm. All of the releases have worked just fine for me.
It’s unfortunate that so many people are having issues upgrading, extracting, setting up the .conf files or even getting others to connect to their server. But I do have to agree with Oatman…
Thanks and good luck to everyone
#Reaper-X
thanks for telling me, I don’t mind it being on trackback its just that i was wondering why it was their :P
steve
oh dosent matter found it :)
were do i find the tools forlder?
# bakaslayer
Unfortunately you’ll need to execute each core update manually since 4703 :(
or … as another alternative, and you don’t mind on sending your backup file to me (i can upgrade it for you) :)
# Matt
actually even if you set your char level above 70, it’s not going to give you additional stats bonus unless you add each race and class stats bonus point manually by editing the player_levelstats table ;)
# steveya
Wordpress by default is going to send trackback or ping to any site linked from your post (assuming the linked website support trackback / ping function)
in order to disable it , you can try playing around in your wordpress dashboard setting (although i think it’s better to leave trackback setting at default) .. btw thanks for the link :)
#Kevin
Not to be mean but if you want to use this then you need to read. I would not know the knowledge I do on how to code these without reading. To get a server working just read the full post it will talk about that.
Anyhow, once you read it, hope everything works out with your server. :)

@dave
I am having the same problem. Reaper-x-upgrade.bat says its only updating from 5005 to 5054.
Any one else got this issue?
Thanks to all on this release. I went to the registration page to get on that server and it’s not available to the public yet, you can bet I’ll be on there when it is and helping as much as I can. I have a few questions that I’d love to hear answered, I hope we have a chat channel for only people that got this to work publicly (no offense to those that haven’t yet) but it would be nice to hear questions on the “next level” of things that can be done with DB’s and how to start fixing bugs! I’ll let you know who I am ingame as soon as i get in!, hehe.
ok this is what i am geting when i run mangos.exe plz help

Any one know why i get a short pause whenever my rogue stealths?
its still saying that im missing
map 0004331
i figure that you set level is too high and things are rolling over
For some reason I don’t think skills are working. I could put my char to level 200 and I still get hit for like 180 damage by level 65 Ironforge guards. I used .maxskill to max them but it makes no difference. Also, I still hit mobs for barely anything – at this level with the gear i’m wearing I should be hitting for much more.
Any clues?
not sure if im losing my mind however when i download the latest above and run the mangos bat it shows it as [ Reaper-X Quick and Dirty Mangos Helper Main Menu ]
[ Mangos R5054 ScriptDev2 231 ]
[ http://www.reaper-x.com ]
[ Compiled By: Reaper-X and Jared ] …….. is this right ?? should it not be 5082 sd2 241
oatman i did the changes but when i go to log in it sits in the screen saying logging to server and then bounce back to pick a realm what do you think could be
#Oatman
I don’t know if this is a normal error, but I have noticed the second I turn on the auction bot to this setting:
# Auction House Bot character data
AuctionHouseBot.Account = 1
AuctionHouseBot.GUID = 9
(9 being the DB id of the AH Bot account that I made)
the mangosd.exe loads everything, if even displays all the aucitons it loaded, but then the program freezes and gives me the send error report to windows message? Is this supposed to happen? or did I set something up worng? Thank’s for the help btw, you are doing an exelent job :)
hi oatman this is will finally got out of that crazy hospital downloaded cant wait the teens happy and me to first you guys should get a noble prize for all the work you guys do one bit of help and oatman ty for helping my asst i down loaded and could run the local i did all the stuff but on the two mangos i would just put root and my password to correct and what do i do on the scricpt what do i put in there sorry to take pu your time
# kelleye
To fix this problem, open your mangosd.conf file with any prefered text editor (notpad is fine :))
look for a setting like this(this is a direct take out from my file, replace the file path with the one that applyes to the location of your dbs, maps, and vmaps folder)
# Data directory setting.
# Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may
# contain space characters.
DataDir = “N:\Program Files\Reaper-X-Easy-MaNGOS\data”
That should ifx your problem:)
# Matt
I have been fighting with taht problem for hours until I found out what the problems is. This might not apply to you but first things first. Is it yourself getting this error, or someone logging in from a differen’t machine? I have found out that in my case it was a problem with someone logging in from the outside (a friend at home). If you are behind a router make sure the ports 8085 and the port 3724 are forwarded. Also make sure that your friend log in with the WAN ip and that your server realm is also set up with a WAN ip. After that it should work, if you have more questions feel free to contact me under this email address (I found myself clogging up this post section with this problem far to much lol:P)

anyone know how to import a character writedumped from 4703 to this version?
im getting this when i run mangos.exe
ERROR:Correct *.map files not found in path ‘@prefix@/share/mangos/maps’ or *.vmap/*vmdir files in ‘@prefix@/share/mangos/vmaps’. Please place *.map/*.vmap/*.vmdir files in appropriate directories or correct the DataDir value in the mangosd.conf file.
is there anyway to import a character from a writepdump from 4703?? please help
First of all, thanks a lot Oatman and Reaper for these releases.
Anyway, i noticed something with this new release that im (almost) sure wasn’t in the last one: Those Imp Minions around Warlock Trainers keep aggroing players, which makes it almost impossible for new warlocks to train their skills.
I don’t know if its a problem with the Imps only, some mistake i made with the installation, or maybe a bigger issue (with tons of npcs attacking player at later stages).
Any fixes?
Both mangos.exe and realmd.exe started without error, however when I connect it just shows “Logging into game server” for about 1/2 seconds then goes back to the realm list.
Any suggestions?
I am getting an Error saying that 127.0.0.1 is not connectable
