Reaper Mangos 5116 with Scriptdev2 247 - Easy WoW Private Server compatible with WoW 2.3.3

This is the old version, get the new Reaper Mangos 5225 instead

Another update for Reaper Mangos, because mangos has officially support the 2.3.3 client of WoW … which means in order to use this, you’ll need to update your old 2.3.2 version into 2.3.3 because the previous (2.3.2) version is no longer supported … and if you still use the old client you’ll be unable to login :)

Also because it seems that some people want to switch database just like the old release of Reaper Mangos, i’ve decided to include the Silvermoon Database once again, which means you can switch between UDB and PSDB to test which one fit best for you ;)

And without further ado, here’s how to use it :

Download Reaper Mangos :

Optional :

WoW 2.3.3 enUS DBC

Fresh Installation :

1. Read my post on how to install Reaper Mangos from scratch (fresh installation) (i’m sorry the screenshots a little bit old, i’ll update it later) :)

2. If you plan on activating / enabling the Auction House Bot, you can use the Reaper-X-Mangos to get your character GUID and ID, read below for more info on how to activate auction house bot :)

Note: Vmaps isn’t enabled by default even if you’re using the Reaper-X-Mangos.exe to edit your configuration files because some people have problem with VMaps and in order to enable it you need to open mangosd.conf and replace :

vmap.enableLOS = 0
vmap.enableHeight = 0

to

vmap.enableLOS = 1
vmap.enableHeight = 1

To those who are upgrading from the 5082 version here are the steps :

1. Create a backup just in case something goes wrong and copy / move the backup file somewhere

2. Run the reaper-x-upgrade in Upgrade directory to upgrade your character table with the new SQL for GuildBank

3. Now create a backup again so your character backup is using the new char table and don’t run the upgrader again

4. And finally you can choose between Silvermoon database and UDB ;)

Note : If you have already extracted DBC, VMaps, and maps from wow 2.3.3 you don’t need to re-extract it again, but if you’re still using the old DBC from WoW 2.3.2 then you’ll need to re-extract the DBC Files only because the only changed is in the DBC files

Also finally, currently i’m having a big problem and that’s because … the area where i lived got flooded once again (i just hope this time the waters doesn’t get inside my house though like what is happening on February last year / 2007) or else i’d have to evacuate somewhere

So if you have posted comment / have sent me an email message and i didn’t respond, i’d like to apologize because of the current situation i’m facing now … for more info about this, you can try searching for Jakarta Floods 2008 using Google or your favorite search engine

    Kurt could you try using the default 127.0.0.1 ? (change the realmlist ip to 127.0.0.1) and also make sure that the realmlist.wtf file also point to 127.0.0.1 for test purpose to check whether the problem lies elsewhere

    # Saktron

    ah i believe that is because mangosd.conf use UNIX Line break (not Windows Line Break), if you want to see it properly under windows you'll need to use Wordpad to edit it ;)

    btw i believe i have converted the line break into windows line break

    # AceWinner

    Thanks :)

    # vibe

    Yes, but you'll need to edit the database directly or you can also use this command :

    1. open command prompt
    2. type mysql -uroot -p
    3. type this

    UPDATE mangos.item_template SET map = 0 WHERE map = 550;

    NOTE : It'll not ask for your confirmation (and there are 9 items)

    # Okono

    You can switch between UDB and Silvermoon anytime you want :) ... but if you're upgrading make sure that you've upgraded your installation first (and don't run the upgrader again) because of the new structure in your character database (well the new table is for GuildBank) :D

    ok you lost me on this one. What is the silvermoon DB and where do we get it or do we already have it with the 5084 release? (probably not). If we get Silvermoon and install that into different database names so they can live side by side in our MYSQL data folder, how do we tell it to switch to use the other. Seeing nothing different yet I concluded I must have the same stuff but am now capable of switching over to some NEW stuff in this silvermoon database which I don't know where to get that or if I need or should want to.

    Hey I said I was lost. No problems it did something to my system. Where would I go to look for a guild bank if I had a guild?

    #informative
    The silvermoon DB is just like the Unified DB you have been working with just with more custom content for "fun" servers. If you wanna new item vendors like teir1 -6 vendors etc, new quests an such then SMDB is like that. UNified DB is jus tlike normal wow can be. They wont sit side by side parsay...but you can switch between the two without any problems really. As for the guild bank, you need to have a guild in..then in stormwind bank area there is massive square vaults that yu would click on and set it up there, ironforge bank area same thing, ogrimmar has giant vault like thingies to. undercity has some skulls on the corner of there bank and thunderbluff has a big totem outside of theres. click that and follow the prompts

    your typing the second part in wrong. this is what you should type:

    UPDATE `realmlist` SET `address`= '127.156.2.3' WHERE `id` =1;

    make sure you get the ``'' the right way round to.

    What DB would you guys recommend? UDB or Silvermoon? UDB seems to be missing a lot of game content, especially late-game instances/outland, and I haven't yet tried Silvermoon; just wondering if they've progressed further than UDB.

    Well in my effort to BE informative here is what I found by trying to remember my own lesson that google is my friend.

    Is this the silvermoon db of which you speak?
    http://forum.ragezone.com/f114/mangos-trembon-2-3-3-repack-356850/

    If it hopefully what you are refering to? Let us know because some of us will be able to easily recover from careful backups but others may spend a weekend trashing and rebuilding their server if this isn't the right silvermoon of which you speak. Searches for silvermoon return a lot of old dead links mostly. TYVM!

    OK that works and I have cool new potrals and I'm a red santa-gnome and there are harvest foods outside orgrimmar now and all. I just have two questions and one piece of information to be informative =p

    OK http://trembon-compiles.6x.to/ this was where I got the repack to update the database - I did the script batch inside and did backup characters then full install of silvermoon and THEN restore characters. No bumps except for the errors launching mangos - anything you can do to help me understand those errors is something I will remain GREATLY THANKFUL for (/bow).

    One piece of information to those that keep posting "hey I got cannot log into root @ localhost with pwd: YES). I actually GOT that message. Seems I overwriote my scriptdev2.conf with a new one and there it was I said HEY I see that every day posted on Reaper-X blog. Went into Scriptdev2.CONF file and changed 127.0.0.1;mangos;mangos;whatever to read

    192.168.1.121;root;password;database

    Find these in all four CONF files and make sure they are CORRECT for your setup! localhost;pwd:YES problemos shuold go away..

    For anyone wondering how to import custom items they may have had. The only diff I am seeing between the current 5082 and this new silvermoon is the items all have an extra field at the end named Duration. I plugged in zeroes for this field and they seem to be importing my items OK..

    QAlexT: I just made an account. Made a character on it named like AHbotnik. Went out to the database characters table and looked at the CHR to make note of the GUID and ACCOUNT numbers and placed those into the mangosd.conf file where it asks for them. It seems to work perfectly ever since. Nothing else needed. I suspect it simply uses that characters bank space to email items won to all winning bidders and to mail unsold items back to people who post and don't sell when time expires.

    # Saktron, You could modify your hp to a higher amount( .Modify hp 999999 for example)
    and then set your level to 1.
    This will make him attack you but not kill you directly giving you a chance to delete him.

    # Merlin756

    hm that's strange, could you tell me what is your Operating system ? and what mysql version you're running ?

    # informative

    Ah that error message means, the stats havent been defined (stat table) for (pet / character) with that level

    you can take a look inside :

    pet_levelstats and player_levelstats

    by default the database has been made for level 70 and below only, and if you set your level higher than that there'll be no bonus given to your char or pet (to be honest, its hard to explain it but i hope you could understand what im trying to say)

    # Okono and Excalibur76

    Thanks a lot :)

    # bakaslayer

    Actually at first i want to upload it somewhere else too, but since those two filesharing site are the fastest for me i decided to upload it to rs and mu (well my upload speed is just 8 KBps)

    if you / anyone else want to mirror it somewhere else, i'd be delighted to put the link into the post :)

    # Everyone

    Finally for the next version, i've make sure to check for various error before each process to make sure that the database has been set up properly :)

    btw ... currently im testing ascent ... if anyone interested on testing ascent (my wow knowledge is limited because i never play on official wow lol), just let me know about it ;)

    Reaper:

    I can test out ascent for you. I've played on bliz servers for years. Would just need too figure out how too set up two realmd's on my computer, probably just by following your guide on how too do it, if I'm going too test it on my own computer. otherwise...

    Only thing I haven't played before is the end game instances in outland. The guild I was in didn't get that far.

    I would'nt mind testing Ascent. I've played a Pally and a Rogue on live for 1year & half.

    I can also help you with code / debugging if you need help.. Same thing for the database, I'm an oracle dev, I'm quite good with SQL.

    I'm having a problem with friends connecting from outside my LAN. With my LAN IP in the database and in my second computer's realmlist I can connect fine but my friend cannot. If I change the IP in my database to that of my public IP then my friend still cannot connect nor can I. Can someone please help me out with simple instructions? I've tried everything I've found on the site but apparently I'm missing something. Thanks.

    justin484 : You're probably behind a router right?. If it's the case, you need to forward the ports 3724 and 8085 to your server's IP.

    see this post on the mangos forum for more info :

    Yes I'm behind a router but I've already set up port forwarding on those two ports, that isn't my problem. Using my LAN IP I can connect from any computer on my network, but if I change to my actual IP no one can connect.

    When I am able to connect on my network I'm using the ip address found by ipconfig (192.xxx.x.xxx) and everything works fine but my friend cannot connect. When I change it to the ip address found at whatsmyip.com (74.xxx.xx.xxx) then he can't connect nor can I connect from the network. I'm not sure if there's some little simple thing I'm missing or what.

    What would be really useful for me would be a set of standard backup SQL of items people usually normally find on an AH. Then maybe script it so every 48 hours the system INSERTS a bunch of typical AH items on 48 hour buyouts so we could go to the AH and find ten stacks of wool cloth and stuff like that available. Maybe make a second AH bot who will be the poster of everything so the expireds go to his mailbox and then automatically purge AHBot number 2's mailbox at the tmie we do the inserts? Just an idea, BUT I hate an empty AH =) dont you?

    Is this the IP you also have your Router forwarding 3724 and 8085 to?

    Did you also make sure to update your IP in your realmd database realmlist table ALSO got updated to the ip address found at whatsmyip.com (74.xxx.xx.xxx)? Yes you gotta put THAT there too.

    Hi guys, I've been out of the scene for a while and came back with the release before this one. Everything seems to be going great with the server program give or take a few bugs.. (High level Imps in starting areas being one of them).

    Anyway the issue that is troubling me at the moment is the quest "Tree's Company" for the alliance. When I go to traitors cove the guy is there and so is the flag, but when I put on the disguise nothing happens... anyone else experienced this? Is it simply not in the DB or can I somehow fix it?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    P.S. Thanks for all the great work on this project

    @DomiOh: make sure to set the priority to High for the Mangosd.conf might help.

    Also just taking some wild guess. Is your server on it's own machine (helps to be on own machine obviously not the one playing Wow). Is the machine underpowered by any chance?

    I'm not having any lag slowness nor seeing any reported really, but my server is it's own separate machine and is a hyper-threading multi-core with extra RAM.

    Was your auto-update turned on and maybe it started downloading and installing Microsoft updates in the background? No thats usually 3AM and your post was 1AM (prolly not that). Did you turn off anti-virus? Turn off scheduled late night defrags? etc. etc.

    Oh if you really DO have an underpowered machine or less than 2 gig of RAM and want to free up some resources you know look in teh task list and there are 20 things you can;t identify and want to turn some off here is some batch file commands to turn off some of the more likely improvements. READ the REM comments and don't turn off things you need if you need your wireless connection from your machine to a wireless router for example...

    REM Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) This can fix ALL sorts of problems
    REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess" /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 0x4 /f

    That quest simply seems to be too hard to code in for the DBs. I tried it with both Silvermoon and UDB and it doesn't seem to work. Also, I think the Draeni starting area didn't get as much love as the BE starting area. . . perhaps because they're not eye candy or something ;).

    I have disabled really ALL what runs on my system.

    As I said before - the big creature in Dolnaar does not move around. It makes one step an stands still. The it turns around and makes another step. And stands still again.

    The spiders don't attack the player, when the player is close to them.
    The player can walk through them. Then they react and walk like they should.

    Oh, and I almost forgot. You can bypass weird quests like that in some cases by going to thottbot, wowhead, or similar sites and looking up the name of the next quest in the series.

    Once you know the name, type .lookup quest [quest name]. This should give you a quest number.

    Next, type .addquest [quest number] and it'll add it to your quest log. In most cases you can then continue on, hopefully to completion of the chain.

    I honestly don't know why the Mangos team didn't code in a ".complete quest" command, as it'd be extremely useful for situations such as yours, but we take what we're given, hehe. They do great work.

    In addition, I spawned a boss twice and the second one isn’t targetable or anything so I can’t delete it, this is awful since I spawned it a wrong spot.

    im not sure about ascent internal area lol .. but currently im testing ascent now, and one thing i can say there are big differences between mangos and ascent lol. Everything works fine (latest development rev) but i still need to read some stuff about the scriptdev2 replacement for ascent (well i heard about moon but i couldnt find any stable release for it) and other stuff like their LUA engine, etc lol

    # Checkmate

    you can edit the mangosd.conf and adjust the guid and character id used there ;)

    # Milembar

    Are you running 64 Bit Windows or Vista (32/64bit) ?

    # Muskar

    you can try looking at the creature table and look at the last GUID generated (usually that is your spawned creature) or you can also try looking for the boss id in the creature table (well since there's only one boss and if there's another one that means the other one is your spawned creature)

    as for GM level based on character level, since the default in mangos isnt based from the character level, probably they've created their own code

    I assume that you're able to locate that 04331.map file directly using windows search function. Now could you try moving the data directory from C:\World of warcraft into something like C:\WoW\data ? :)

    if anyone is having troubles with the AHbot with the new 5116 repack here is the problem.
    After you enter your Guide and account number for you character that is hosting the items, look down a few lines. They are "0"'s for item quanity. change it to this.

    # Note: If you enable AllowTwoSide.Interaction.Trade, ALL auction houses are
    # linked to the neutral auction house.
    AuctionHouseBot.AllianceItems = 300
    AuctionHouseBot.HordeItems = 300
    AuctionHouseBot.NeutralItems = 500

    that will fix you right up. restart your server and there ya go. hope this helps who have problems

    Yeah I was able to locate the 04331.map with the search function. I still didn't understand by what you meant by:

    "Now could you try moving the data directory from C:\World of warcraft into something like C:\WoW\data?"

    Oh also im not using my main World of Warcraft folder I made a copy of it to my desktop so I can still play WoW while being able to play on a private server. So would it have to say when I adjust the datadir?

    I no longer work on this project. I was going to be doing the Anscent Releases but seeing that it keeps crashing on my Vista I am not sure. At the moment I am working on the Server Mega-WoW which Reaper and I are going to be operating. It will be avaible to the public once Reaper and I discuss more stuff about it soon. If anyone would like the beta link to it I have provided the link. Please Note:

    This is under Pre-Beta and please do not email Reaper-x.com for any problems on the server or email them to be a beta tester. If you send an email to Reaper it will either be deleted or he'll email back saying that he is not doing work on it yet. So for the time being we will provide an email for it for you guys to check out.

    My personal Email for the Server is:

    jjones@reaper-x.net

    Please use that email to contact me concerning it.

    Here is the link providing the web address to the server. I am aware that their may be some confussion as to how to connect to it. We are aware of this. Just please contact us by the email I have provided. Also I have coded a launcher in VB.net that will automatically replace the realmlist.wtf file to let you connect to the server.

    Here is the Link to the Server:

    http://mega-wow.reaper-x.net

    If you have any questions please post them on that site since it is not yet part of this site.

    Thanks,
    Jared

    I apologize if this is off topic, but I would really like to know how to modify a spell. For example Blink is broken on this release for me. If I can find out how to modify spells I could maybe go back to an old release and compare to see if there is any difference and fix it in this spells.dbc.

    As it is spells cannot be changed. I must figure out how to decompile and alter then recompile this file. Any help is appreciated.

    Another change I would like to attempt might be for example to make the qiraji resonating crystal spell unrestricted and not just for use in an-qiraj because its a nice mount for everyone else and would like to put it on a vendor and make it like level 40 or 50..

    Just my preference but I think this could also be fixed in the spells.dbc if I could figure out how to edit that.

    @will: Vendors are pretty easy! Using QUICE you can click creature and type in a name like KAFTIZ and up comes Captain Kaftiz! He sells marks of honor at very affordable prices! If you select an NPC and type .delete it will go away and remove that spawn point.

    The good news is you can add items to vendors easily and you can spawn EXTRA copies of vendors wherever you want them by typing. Yes you can clone "Captain" Kaftiz as much as you like.

    So just go around and write down the names of the vendors and trainers you want in your shopping mall and look them all up in quice and THEN go where your mall will be - some like to use for example the landing strip in northeast Dun Murogh and walk around going

    .addspw number
    .addspw number
    .addspw number

    and just pop in a bunch of trainers and vendors. You will no doubt also want a portal to get people there and back easily but I'm going to go try to learn that next...

    Anyone got the three minute guide to making custom mangos portals? C'mon be informative no wait I'm informative =p

    OK OK. I think I got this making portals thing down. If you type in

    .lookup object portal to shat
    or
    .lookup object shattrath portal

    That should list most of the common ones you might want.

    To insert them where you want them you just do .addgo number

    Getting rid of them is a little trickier. You first have to know the number and then you type target number THEN to get rid of it read the targeted message and type

    .delobject guid
    stub in the guid number from the targeted info it kicks back when you target it. OK so

    I add an Ironforge portal with
    .addgo 183322

    then
    .target 183322

    it says GUID 59290

    .delobject 59290
    to get rid of it.

    Is it permanent? Not sure.. think so.
    Can we make our own custom portals. Probably there are a bunch of odd named ones if you just use .lookup object portal, could almost certainly reuse some of those to set the coords to match your .gps readings of your desired destination - wish I had more to offer but I am filling up Reaper and Oatman's blog like the flood waters already no =)

    @Uberwabbit: Did you follow this guide step by step? drop all of those programs they giev you for extraction into the production warcraft folder and run them and they should extract your maps vmaps and dbc's. Not even sure they need all of them. There is that flag to turn like vmaps on and off you could probably run without them if you set those to 0 is my guess just to prove it works and then come back when you have regained your confidence and calm.

    i just did a new installation of mangos 5116. i'm pretty sure i followed all the steps properly but im getting the following error when i try to run mangosd.exe after successfully initializing data stores:

    You have _outdated_ DBC files. Please extract correct versions from current using client.

    i rerun extract-enUS and notice this error:

    Output directory: .
    Fatal: Could not locate MPQ archive patch-enUS-2.MPQ
    Press any key to continue. . .

    so i press any key to close window and check C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS and patch-enUS-2.MPQ is not there. assuming all is fine, i move the new dbc folder to C:\WoW\data overriding the old one (that i just moved there while extracting maps, vmaps, and dbc files). i rerun mangosd and get the same error. after this i run the Blizzard Repair Utility and repeat everything from extracting the DBC files to running mangosd, getting the same exact results. im not sure what im doing wrong, any advice? thanks in advance.

    btw if you're running enUS version, you can grab the already extracted dbc files below the link to reaper mangos (search for optional using your browser search function)

    try typing these

    1. mysql -u root -p

    # Dex

    whoops forgot to add this command :

    update mangos.item_template set ExtendedCost = 0;

    because blizzard store the extended cost (honor,arena) in the extendedcost.dbc and the extcost stored the at extcost in the database

    and finally dont forget to delete the cache ;)

    I havnt played much with this repack yet. But there is data tables for levels,spells and pets. The normal table goes to 70 and past that it will not calculate what is needed for the next level, even though you can use GM commands to go higher, It looks like they put in a sql tables to level 88. Past that you will not gain exp on your character. If your runing silvermoon go to there web site. http://www.Projectsilvermoon.net and look around. some of the users posted a SQL that will update yor tables to utilize up to 255. I was running Ascent and alot of them are updated already. But sometimes there is problems with the calculations for the next level.

    even if i cant get the tables figured out, i just wanted players to be able to level up to 241 even if it takes data from 70.
    the skills will still be higher than lvl70 skills, u just wont get any extra hp when u lvl, i can fix that by adding custom weapons with +hp +strength on them for higher lvl players and so on...

    @Uberwabbit: "Select *"

    is the first SQL statement you learn when you go to chapter one, page one of most Learn SQL in 15 minutes books. Reaper is just explaining that you need to go look inside your database tables. In this case your REALMD database REALMLIST table.

    Select * will simply list all fields for all records. If you says Select field1, field2, field2 from Realmlist Where Field1='abc'

    You would only be listing three fields from the table and only for those where field1 had "ABC" in it so you can also filter your results.

    If you can't get the hang of SQLYog or one of the other tools for manipulating databases the simplest entry point for you might be to install MySQL ODBC drivers and use Microsoft Access or some more user friendly tools to get a peek inside the database. Just tell access you want to link all the tables. It will prompt you to setup a ODBC DSN.

    Why are we asking Oatman if he is coming back? Did he or his computer get flooded away? Nooo!

    I try an older version of Silvermoon executables and sure enough Blink works on that one but casters arent casting and lots of other stuff I don't care for. Do Casters cast on our current version with the broken mage Blink?

    Spell trainers are hosed in some way also. If I make a new warlock for example and make him level 40 (.level 39) and then go to lock trainer and give him some money and just start training he will start showing as many as four spells which he has but start appearing on the to buy FEAR RANK (1) and to buy LIFE TAP RANK (1) and it also show rank 3 or 4 which can be bought but the Rank 1 is not really there.

    You can tell this is not really there because (A) you can't buy it and (B) if you release the trainer and click him again it's not erally there until you BUY something ELSE then bam it reappears again. Buggy stuff.

    #Userwabbit: well do what Reaper said - in SQLYog you type

    select * from table

    Then press F9 I think to get it to refresh the query display

    Actually - I think he is trying to tell you to use the console command line version of MySQL interface. If you like old school thats a good option. I've grown too GUI over the years and got the beard to prove it =p

    Uber:

    SQL: SELECT ‘id’, ‘name’,'address’,'port’,'icon’,'color’,'timezone’,'allowedSecurityLevel’,'population’ FROM ‘realmlist’ WHERE ‘color !=’3′ ORDOR BY ‘name’

    This should perhaps say 'Order By; instead fo Odor By or whatever.

    Something is either wrong in your Realmlist table or in the code that is trying to read your realmlist table. I think it just means you hosed it - format C: and start over NO just kidding!

    For people that that asked about the Differance between UDB and Silvermoon. UDB is more like a Regular Blizzlike server and Silvermoon is more of a fun type server. They added portals to other citys and created extra npc's with extra vendors. There both good and worth a check out. Just depends on how you want to run your Realms.

    Hope this helps anyone who asked.

I don't know if this will work, but I saw a reference to using a 1 after the .addspw creaturenumber 1 command to make them permanent. Maybe that works for portal objects too? Have you tried .addgo portalnumber 1? Worth a shot.

    #Will: before you get too busy with finishing touches like portals and such, have you confirmed this is a good "somewhat final" properly working release? I've got Blink not working and caster mobs not casting and all of Muskar's mobs disappeared etc.

    Could just be my install I am hopeful Reaper or Oatman comes back with some help to allow me to determine whats wrong here.

    I do know the blink problem is in the compiled EXE because an older Silvermoon EXE (plus DLLs) blink works great against the very same database. Anyway, as great as this looks, I'm still thinking just between us all here that this MAYBE isn't "the one" to put a lot of time into applying finishing touches to. My two cents.

    As a side note Reaper seemed to be directing us in this direction - so I will also post this link in the hopes you guys can consider AS a worst case only we could go there and get answers and updates that are possibly compatible with Reaper/Oatman's builds.

    @Muskar: I have no clue. Brainstorming all records deleted scenarios, did you use a secure password for your MySQL (not root not mangos not password or even a dictionary word etc) and make sure port 3306 is not open to the internet? Firewall in place? I think there IS an option to turn on GM command and GM trades in the Conf files if I recall. It should also indicate where the log file is located. go to your Mangos folder and hit F3 and search for *.log maybe.

    So long as your characters and realmd are backed up you should always be able to do a fresh install and quickly restore accounts and such (recoverable).

    If you make a bunch of people GM's they could easily enough go around type .delete on everything I suppose. Seems unlikely but not that unlikely - would only take one bad one I suppose.

    Yes, i did choose an advanced password that doesn't match any dictionary word or anything.

    Yeah, one of the worst firewalls ever, is enabled (Windows Firewall).

    And I'm quite sure it was a player who did this.

    And, yes, a large amount of the players joining choose to become GMs, but since I have tried making my own server before, I updated the command tables, so they wont be able harm the server at GM lvl 1.
    Someone somehow did anyway, I suppose.

    If you are asking me for a specific .log file, please let me know which one to upload.

    Also on the portals. there at all the Boat docks. they boats work but they take you there alot quicker. nice for a nice non-blizz type server. I havnt checked the Zeppelins yet on the horde side but im sure there at the air docks also.

    @AlexT I seen the new data base at projectsilver moon as well. I downloaded it and its just fine. If you want multiple databases without dumping the old one. Here is what you do. You can do this without worring about loosing all your info. But like anyting you always want to always have a back up on anything.

    1: on Sqlyog Right click And Creat new database.
    2: call it lets say Mangos2
    3: right click on Mangos2 Restore from sql dump.
    4: click on the new database. wait for it to finish.
    5: open mangosd.conf file. edit it and add the "2" to the end of mangos on the world database info entry.
    6: reload and there ya go. Easy wasnt it.
    you dont have to loose your old database and you can test as many as you want without dumping the old one. Its easy to revert back to the old one.
    Even if you ever have to change the tables on Charactes do the same thing. you always have a back up of your old files.

    I have 2 realms set up on mine with 3 databases for each one. i just change the world database info to get them up.

    Hope this helps you out

    You wont have to worry about updating your reaper when new updates come out, the new database in under mangos2.It wont see it. You can do the same thing with the new repack. Just click sqlyog and on mangos 2. Click empty database on mangos2. Then load a differant database on it. Or if you want create another one called mangos3 and have 3 databases to choose from. If any database dosent work with it. just change the World database info back and your back online.

    If you toasted your realmd database no worrys. You can just empty the database and go to your
    C:\reaper\Reaper-X-Easy-MaNGOS\reaper-eazy-mangos folder. there is a SQL realmd in there. after it is emptied just restore from sql dump and it will reload it back in.

    This is all done from sqlyog. Just right click on realmd data and you can select what to do.
    If there is no data in the realmd database you will have to do this to reload it.

    @Uber, if you havnt done alot to the repack as in you added alot of content. you are better starting over with a fresh install. if you were just trying to edit the realm list. All you have to do is click the + next to the realmd and it will expand and you can click on realmlist. you can edit it from there. when you are done there is alitte disk above the box. you click that to save. If you ever want to refresh the database you click on the top drop bar and click DB and refresh object browser. I understand your frustration. It looks hard at start but it really is pretty easy.

    @Will,
    What you want to do is create a character. Call it like ahbot. Log into the character once. after that you will need the account and Guid number. You go to sqlyog and under characters you will see your characters and the numbers you need. You may have to refresh the database. Under DB on the top bar click refresh object browser. Write down the guid and account number. you will need this for the next step

    Next open up mangosd.conf file. Scroll almost all the way down. you will see this.

    # Auction House Bot character data
    AuctionHouseBot.Account = 5
    AuctionHouseBot.GUID = 2

    those are my numbers. "0"s are there now. enter your numbers. your almost done

    # Note: If you enable AllowTwoSide.Interaction.Trade, ALL auction houses are
    # linked to the neutral auction house.
    AuctionHouseBot.AllianceItems = 300
    AuctionHouseBot.HordeItems = 300
    AuctionHouseBot.NeutralItems = 500

    Now you will see this. Those will be "0"s at default. enter these numbers you see here.
    Restart your server and do not log into your ahbot character again. When you go there with your other the auction house will be full of items. Thats all,restart your server if you hadnt yet.

    Yeah you can put portals at Gm island. anyone can go there that you want to. Theres a few others depending on the data base which are cool also. GMlace and GMplace2. yo ucan just spawn the NPC venders there as well. just add the 1 at the end with a space to make them stay perm. Im a pro at making portals on ascent but havnt tackled mangos yet. i will browse up on it and if you need help let me know.

    Hope this helps you out.

You can create items, weapens bags, npc. its for mangos and ascent both. they also have already made items. after you are done making it you download as a SQL and just restore from sql dump and select the sql you want to add.

    @Uber you dont have to delete the Vmaps and Maps. You can jsut cut and paste them somewhere else. Delte the old foldere where reaper was. Re-install. cut and paste the maps and vmaps back. there is no reason to redo. The new install will over write the files on your database.

    i never got an answer so im reposting this.

    i have WoW version 2.3.3 and i just did a new installation of mangos 5116. i’m pretty sure i followed all the steps properly but im getting the following error when i try to run mangosd.exe after successfully initializing data stores:

    You have _outdated_ DBC files. Please extract correct versions from current using client.

    i rerun extract-enUS and notice this error:

    Output directory: .
    Fatal: Could not locate MPQ archive patch-enUS-2.MPQ
    Press any key to continue. . .

    so i press any key to close window and check C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\enUS and patch-enUS-2.MPQ is not there. assuming all is fine, i move the new dbc folder to C:\WoW\data overriding the old one (that i just moved there while extracting maps, vmaps, and dbc files). i rerun mangosd and get the same error. after this i run the Blizzard Repair Utility and repeat everything from extracting the DBC files to running mangosd, getting the same exact results. im not sure what im doing wrong, any advice? thanks in advance.

    @Aratel: If you look for the files they are trying to run against you should find these particular MPQ files from which the DBC's will be extracted probably reside in the DATA subfolder of your C:\program files\world of warcraft folder SO just copy the five files from the DBC Extractor folder into this data folder and try rnuning them from there. They should create a DBC subfolder within the data folder and there will be all of your DBC files

    Later you will need to have this new DBC folder grouped together in a folder with your other extracts (MAPS and VMAPS folders all referenced in the Mangos CONF file).

    Cheers and good luck.

    Look in your database under characters.
    go down to character_reputaion and Click the little eye on the top bar. you can edit and save there. I dont think mangos has GM commands to edit reputions. I looked and couldnt find any. you will have to edit by hand. Its pretty easy

    @Uber

    If you deleted the old reaper folder and installed the new one at the default settings, then run the install thats included it should of rebuilt the database. Did you extract the DBC files? This version i believe didnt come with any. I just used my old ones from 5082.

    I guess you can try to delete the old database tables. Characters,mangos,realmd and scriptdev2. You just click on each one and click drop database. it will get rid of all the files and database. This way you can start with a empty fresh database. Let the program extract to the deafult directory.

    Then go to your reaper--easy-mangos folder and click reaper-x-mangos. not the one in the upgrade, since you are not upgrading. Go through the settings and it will load the database back up.

    Move your DBC folder,maps and vmaps to a folder called Data. then the data folder goes
    here C:\reaper-x-easy-mangos.

    you should be able to click mangosd.exe and realmd.exe. it should load up. let me know.

    What version of mysql server are you running? I have 5.0. You may want to go to control pannel and uninstall mysql server. then you may have to do a restart before you can delete the actual folder. Go to program files and mysql server folder and delete it. Then do a fresh install of it. Your mysql server may be corrupted some how. It happened to me once alittle while back. It is very frustrating i know. But sooner or later it will be going for you.

    @Uberwabbit: MySQL can be run in either GUI mode where you go to services and turn on the service there or it can be started and utilized in a console mode like an EXE file. When you see commands trying to run MySQL as an EXEcutable program instead of a service you will perhaps want to make sure that the MYSQL programs are in your computers environment PATH.

    If you aren;t familar with this, it's usually gotten to by right click on "MyComputer" and go to properties, advanced, Environment.

    Another way to see what your path looks like is to open the Command prompt window and type SET

    SET will display all environment variables too.

    Either way you will want to either put the MySQL executable programs in one of the existing paths OR perhaps preferably ADD the path where they reside on your machine to your PATH environment variable string.

    I hope that helps.

    @Gta: I have fully uninstalled and deleted everything to do with MySQL. However I'm still getting that error!! Plus when I opened mangosd this time I saw something else 'realm.realmd.realmlist missing. So do I download a realmlist or something?

    #Uber and anyone having trouble getting a hang of this MySQL database please read:

    Here is a very easy way of getting through the SQLYog import of the SQL files which I had gone to a while back when I was stuck.

    Somewhere in the various Mangos install packages locate the SQL files. There will sometimes be one each for Characters, Realmd, scriptdev2 and Mangos. Sometimes they roll it all into one big SQL file. Sometimes they include delete table commands sometimes not (and in that case you have to clear the old tables yourself). How you can deal with all of these conditions and variables is to try to get a better knowledge of MySQL and lets say SQLYog because well it's what I like to use.

    When it's all in one SQL file the file will usually have USE statements within to switch the default database from database to database.

    The USE Statement is just like clicking on the database in SQLYog where the import will then default to the currently selected database as if you had typed USE MANGOS or USE REALMD in the SQL script

    If you use a fast editor like ConText (free editor can be downloaded which I recommend unless you have a good one already TextPad also good) and load one of the large Mangos.SQL files they are usually at least 60 meg on up to 170 meg depending on which one you want to use.

    SO OK Load it up in your text editor (hopefulyl not notepad) and look near the top they usually have comments like this

    "Target Database: mangos"

    To properly import such a database you will usually want to select the Mangos database in your SQLYog and Right click on it and tell it to EMPTY database then go to tools and restore database from Dump and reimport the SQL to fill that database again. Thats one very easy way to make sure you (A) have Mangos selected as the default database (B) empty the mangos database and have it ready to receive a new SQL dump (C) what sort of SQL dump it is won't matter as much if it is simply creating tables and filling them or had the DROP table commands included when the SQL dump was created.

    Next back to the use command. With SQLYog open click on a populated Mangos database if you have one and click in the open top right SQL command line 'QUERY window' and type this (making sure to delete whatever was there before you started typing so that what you type next that is the ONLY text in that window)

    select * from db_version
    then press [F9].

    Note how it returns your database revision and that of course comes from your Mangos database db_version table.

    Next type USE CHARACTERS [F9]
    and then select * from db_version [F9] again
    Notice how you get an error. probably looks like this
    Error Code : 1146 Table 'characters.db_version' doesn't exist

    OK so click mangos again and do the select again and it works now instead of typing use characters simply CLICK on the characters database and then run the select dbversion again and same error. Just pointing out that some people may not realize that clicking a database and typing USE DATABASE are pretty much the same thing and what dataabse you have selected MAKES a big difference because it's like type USE DATABASE which changes your default database

    OK I realize this is below the level most of you are at but a very short tutorial seemed like it might be helpful for some who are struggling with some seemingly simple errors like 1146's which are now hopefully obvious user errors and not release issues. Carpet bombing the net with 'user error questions' won't usually get you where you want to go and will wear out those who seek to provide help when it is most needed after you;ve done your homework and hit a really good snag.

    This may just be my perception and please I'm NOT in any way being uncaring or rude. IF you find you are asking a LOT of questions, you may really just need to go back and review all of the answers already provided and make sure you have fully accounted for and taken in those answers fully before saturating us with each obstacle you encounter. I'm in the kindest way trying to say, there is no substitute for spending some extra time in gaining the knowledge versus just obtaining the answers you seek...

    Oh forgot through that whole tutorial/rant I to mention one of the BEST practice drills for gaining an excellent knowledge of this process is trying to DUMP your own SQL file. Look at the options SQLYOG gives you when creating a SQL dump, include table drop commands?, include table create commands? etc.

    Practice emptying your own database tables, views etc and reimporting your own SQL dumps. You wont just get to play the latest Wow database but you'll learn your way around MySQL!

    Well before a month ago I had never installed MySQL so I'm not much beyond noob myself.

    Some SQL files will create the databases and the tables like this

    CREATE TABLE
    USE TABLE
    CREATE TABLE
    INSERT DATA INTO TABLE
    CREATE TABLE
    INSERT DATA INTO TABLE
    CREATE TABLE
    INSERT DATA INTO TABLE

    CREATE OTHERDATABASE
    USE OTHERDATABASE
    CREATE TABLE
    INSERT DATA INTO TABLE
    CREATE TABLE
    INSERT DATA INTO TABLE

    You should open your SQL files and figure out what you are dealing with before giving up and declaring its a defective SQL file. They aren't all the same.

    Some just have the create table and insert data statements. When that is the case you need to make sure you create the database OR EMPTY the database if it already exists.

    Hopefully thats more to the point and useful.

    One last idea for those with errors to research try this for example for error 1146 you can search this site with google just type something like this and can see that four people asked about error 1146 in the last few months on various revisions and blog threads. Why ask if you can find your answer may already be posted.

    Hi Reaper,
    great instructions, for someone who has never done this they were easy to follow and the screen shots helped. With that said I need a little help. I've gotten to the part where I run mangosd.exe and I'm getting the following error:
    Cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;mangos;mangos;mangos
    I tried changing the entry in the conf file with root;password;mangos but no luck. I created the file structure of c:\wow\data and made sure the datadir in the conf file had the right entry. I put the dbc, maps and vmaps into the data folder as well as everything from the reaper folder. I turned off security and made sure MySql is running. What am I missing here?

    Ok, I have a really serious problem. I was not online while it happened so I have no idea why it happened.

    Have a look in the .log files:
    Server.log | DBErrors.log

    Yes, i did choose an advanced password that doesn’t match any dictionary word or anything.

    Yeah, one of the worst firewalls ever, is enabled (Windows Firewall).

    And I’m quite sure it was a player who did this.

    And, yes, a large amount of the players joining choose to become GMs, but since I have tried making my own server before, I updated the command tables, so they wont be able harm the server at GM lvl 1.
    Someone somehow did anyway, I suppose.

    If you are asking me for a specific .log file, please let me know which one to upload.

    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"

    Mangosd.conf file listed above. Edit it with your info. the same as when you created mysql.
    Name is root and password is what you set it at. normally the root is common as the name. But if you changed default put it in.

    Now to realmd.conf file
    LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;realmd"
    enter the username and password you entered in Mysql.

    now the last one.
    scriptdev2.conf file

    ScriptDev2DatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;scriptdev2"
    the same as above. the info you entered in mysql

    You edit these files in notepad and save them. then reload server. your done.

    For Uberwabbit or anyone who may still be having trouble getting it to work still I put together a partial extract repack. I just wanted to take my working database and make that available to anyone who cared to try it. I built four separate SQL files one for each database in MySQL (Mangos, charaters, realmd and scriptdev2) and this makes it easier for me to install because I dont have to trust the SQL always has the CREATE DATABASE - USE DATABASE syntax.

    Each of the SQL files does have the create database - USE database syntax at teh beginning of each so they should be pretty foolproof.

    I started out practicing writing out SQL backups and restoring them to make sure I knew how to do that and decided to share them with the group.

    I added a couple of bags and weapons to the starter gear so it's officially a FUN server build - everyone seemed to enjoy it..

    Uber: if you have logmein.com or some other way for me to log into your desktop and fix it I know how I backup and restore my system from this set of files and it should work unless you have other things locking the tables while you are doing this or something.

    Look at the realmd database its small and the commands are simple and it drops teh database and creates it new and inserts a few tables and records. If this is failing, it's not the SQL causing the failure. Gotta be something else.

    I read that at mangos projects web site. They have a fix in the new core for it. Its a core issue. they added this to the core and mangosd.conf to fix this problem.

    # Creature Spell Damage Rate.
    # Examples: 2 - creatures will damage with spells 2x, 1.7 - 1.7x.
    Rate.Creature.Normal.SpellDamage = 1
    Rate.Creature.Elite.Elite.SpellDamage = 1
    Rate.Creature.Elite.RAREELITE.SpellDamage = 1
    Rate.Creature.Elite.WORLDBOSS.SpellDamage = 1
    Rate.Creature.Elite.RARE.SpellDamage = 1

    Its in 5157. I have the new core but trying to compile with the new AHbot.

    for anyone interested here is the new 5157+scriptdev2. it does not have the Ahbot yet in it. you have to compile yourself. I offer no support for this. This is i beleive the newest core out, it has the spell fix in it for the mobs. I uploaded it for ya all who wants it,

    @Mozz

    look in mangosd.conf look for
    # Min limit is max aggro radius (45) * Rate.Creature.Aggro
    Visibility.Distance.Creature = 66
    Visibility.Distance.Player = 66

    Try adjusting those to see if it helps you out. I think the main radius is a core thing but you may be able to tweak it here alittle.

    There is a few more options if you scroll down alittle.

    untill they fix the imp (or the new pack has it, havnt tried it yet) make a macro for the imp fireball. alot easier than using your mouse to use it.

    Well this is odd. I went in tonight and tried looking for mobs that wont cast. Started a new Orc and the familiars in Orc starter area casting fireballs just fine. Loaded my 60 mage and his blink is working ten times in a row.

    In fact, I couldn't find any real bugs in the system now. I was sure blink wasn't working before; why would it just start working like that?

    So nobody has gotten the voice chat working?

    Hey. I have a question. Every time someone buys out an auction from the AHbot (possibly from other players as well.. not sure), a certain error pops up on mangos.

    SESSION: received unhandled opcode CMSG_EMOTE (0x0102)

    Is that anything bad?

    And since I implemented the AHbot, the server has been crashing

    Hey Reaper-X !

    I'm compiling the trunk-version of the MaNGOS server on a linux-box, and I am a bit puzzled here as I can not find the patch for the AuctionHouse bot.
    Or rather, the one I find is for an old revision, and fails during compile (might be something in my end though, but it complains about some of the AuctionHouseBot code during compile, and it' shows some global defines etc, which might be why it doesn't work on *nix).

    I'm currently working on a MaNGOS 0.10.0/r5194 + SD2 r251 + PSDB r222 -pack/release for linux/windows, and would be interested in topping it off with the AHBot if I could get that working as well.

    With the graveyard command nothing worked :(
    I used ''commands'' to see if there is any more but nothing.

    I also want to do something like to change some vendors so they are non-targetable and i would like to add some missing skills in the vendors.

    Anyone know how can i do this? I have to get in the database right? If that is i dont know how :P (i have a program named Navicat i think) that as i read i can use it to see the database.

    Any ideas?

    Does the auction house usually work? Has it (A) ever worked properly and stopped or (B) never worked? If (B) then probably isn't configured properly. Trying to think like a programmer for a minute, it is just using an AHBOT characters email to BE the AH. So everything posted goes into an email to the AHBot and everything coming back is either emailed back to the poster (not sold) or emailed to the Buyer (bought out or won). I tested this on mine and it seems to work fine. If I get better at putting releases together I could easily enough hopefully share my working setup with those of you who wanted. it's a pretty good blizlike server - best I've come across actually but I am still hopeful for upgrades and will continue trying new servers.

    Without source code it's tough to know what might be on line 68.

    I asked but nobody has suggested where source code might be or when the Reaper might return for that matter. I'm switching over to watching various release chains occur on the Silvermoon site now.

    Whats funny now on my server is the warlock imps do shoot fireballs but my 60 locks imp can bun down 60 elites which just AINT RIGHT. =p

    Either their health regen is too low or the elites damage is too low or they are chain casting faster than they appear to be or elites have fewer HP than they should - it's just wrong heh. Funny, but wrong.

    @CHRISZ: ok so trying to be helpful. Make sure the AHBOT character can send and receive mail. Log into that account and actually send and receive warcraft mail. Then make sure your ACCT ID and Character GUID ID are noted and logged in the CONF file properly.

    On some of that other stuff you all might make sure to DELETE the cache folder in yoru production World of Warcraft folder that you use to play Mangos Wow with. You should also probably make sure your scriptdev2 folder and database are setup properly for the spellcasting and/or instance bugs (I think - remember I'm like 6 weeks since getting started on this whole hobby)

    Cheers.

    The auction house bot is added to the core as a patch. They developed the patch at Mangos Projects. When you apply the patch then you recompile the core. The compiling is done from reaper to make things easier.

    The imp fireball does work but you have to press the fireball button everytime to use it.
    most all the spell problems would be core related. They have a newer core out that is spose to address those issues.

    Just download the core or the patch and If your a C++ programer you can edit the source. Its not keeped by reaper. It can be found at mangos project.
    You may already know this, but do not ask any questions about repacks there. Most sites frown upon them. They will always say dont be lazy and compile your own.

    Its really not that hard by the way to compile your own. just follow there giude there.

    COM 2 = client NOT CONNECTING properly

    Online both ports work and all friends CAN connect

    so heres what i tried

    quickest way to get an idea if you have an install issue or not is probably to compare what files you are running to what everyone else is running.

    I'm not sure what the best way to compare files is but probably size and date stamp from your EXE files and filecount and size of your DBC, MAPS, VMAPS would be a good start since I keep hearing a lot of folks figuring out they are missing files or running the wrong files.

    Database compares are a bit trickier since every database is different and changes every day.. Still a full dump from someone elses working system shuold help address that and while they may import slowly SQL files RAR up nice and small.

    If I right click my data folder with the three folders DBC, MAPS and VMAPS it says 6955 files in three folders at

    2.86 GB (3,079,309,132 bytes)

    If yours are significantly different let me know you may want to grab my current exe's and an extract from my SQL database (I posted one above)

    Make sure your ports are open and set to your ip address that your server is on. Example 192.168.0.4 each computer will be differant depending on how many you have on the network.
    Under run. ipconfig will tell ya. Double check your ports. Like 8129 3306 80 if your running a web server, theres more but i have set mine up to run 2 totally differant cores. ascent and mangos both. Did you set up your windows Host file also?

    This is edited through Sqlyog. Open it up and connect to the database. You will see the differant database names. Go to Mangos. expand it with the +. Then down to creature_template. Expand that or press the little eye on the top bar of sqlyog. You will see the table open up on the right side of Sqlyog. Then check the Show all. This will take a moment due to the large database table. Then click the ID. it will put them in numerical order. Scroll down untill you see 12922. Scroll over and you will see the Imp. Keep scrolling right and you will see Faction A table and Next to it is Faction H
    For horde and alliance. There will be a 14 in those. Change them to 35. Both of them. You will notice a red message on the top bar where you were typing. it says you change the database. now click the little disk on that small box where you were typing. it will save the info of what you did. Now your done.
    Let me know if you need more help

    If you click on the "entry" field when you select all button. It will put them in order and makes it easier to scroll through.

    there is Mysqlyog and navicat. They are very simular, they both allow you to edit your database. Try em both and see which one you like better. I prefer Mysqlog. They both have free editions. Having one of theses are a must if you want to edit, update or change your databases.

    Setting up is easy. When you create a connection you can name it whatever you want. Then your loaclhost, 3306 port and your username and password you used when you set up Mysql server. Hope this helps

    because 14 is a enemy faction number. They attack. Now if you set it to 35 it makes it friendly and i belive 1604 makes it the same faction as the owner of the imp. On mine project silvermoon used 35 and UDB uses 1604. Both on the Faction_A and Faction_H. then restart your server and they are now friendly.

    What kind of problems are you having with the casters? With the mob casting? If so it is a core issue. You will have to get the new core and compile or get a pre-compiled one. You will have to set up from scratch unless they make a new pack at reaper. Alot of things are dealt with on the core level and require a patch and re-compiling.

    If that is something you want to tackle go to
    http://www.mangosproject.org/forum/
    Its really not that hard. Just alot of reading and instaling C++ software. It takes alitte practice to compile your own.

    Actually i ran across that same error awhile back. I cant remeber the whole thing since i do alot of differant Cores. I belive its a database problem. I just emptied the database in sqlyog and restore from sql dump and intalled again (the database mangos). Make sure you use the right database. Each one is core related to a point since the have differant tables.
    The UDB and Silvermoon that comes with the pack work fine. Also the New rev 7 project silver moon works as well.
    If you need more help let me know.

    @ Ruben

    Re-extract is refering to someone who has already running a reaper-repack. When you go from a patch 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 it uses the new files which are part of the client. The patch number is on your wow when you launch it. its on the bottem left side. we are up to 2.3.3.7799 If you were running the reaper 5082 you are good to go on it. It was a 2.3.3.7799 build. They just added some new features to this one. Like AHbot and Guild banks. Just follow the guides to extract the Maps,Vmaps and DBC files, that is if you have not done this repack before. It does take alittle while. Depends on your computer speed.
    Just follow the guide on how to extract and where to put them.

    Make sure you have the newest client. 2.3.3.7799 other wise your pack will not work. Just use the wow launcher to update your client. Also never use this again until you know its safe to get the newest build. Sometimes it takes awhile before the developers to get the new core out to work with it. You would get "cannot validate game version" if so you would have to downgrade your wow client. Which is easy and a differant guide..
    Hope this helps you out

    Also you must have the newest client before you can extract. other wise you will extract the lower client version and they are not compatable.

This is my first time installing this and i beleive i did pretty good. considering this is the only error that i have been getting for a week now. i have tried everything moving the vmap, map, and db files to wow\data and mangos\data with the same errors. tried everything on this forum to fix it too with no results. mangosd.exe is the only thing that fails everytime.
    this is what my mangosd.config file looks like.
    (just too datadir= that is)

    Martian: I would recommend putting your data files (maps, vmaps, dbc) in the root of your hard drive in a folder called data.

    You currently have:
    DataDir = “c:\World of Warcraft\Reaper-X-Easy-MaNGOS\data”

    Try puting it as
    DataDir = “c:\data\"

    I may be wrong, but I hope this helps get you on the right track.

    Anyways Like someone commented earlier about the Event AI i get the same

    sd2: warning >>loaded 0 localized_texts
    sd2: warning >>loaded 0 eventai_scripts

    Now is this just a work in progress or did something not load properly or do I have to change something to possibly make it work? Or is there another Script i could add after the installation and make it work. Cause ive noticed any quest that requires an NPC walk (ie Escort Quests) or even some Instance Events like Razorfen Krauls portal that has to open at the end of it doesnt trigger. If anyone has any information for me I would really appreciate it. Thanks

    @Uber: I am using Reapers repack initially. I've overlayed different databases since he also announced it would work with Silvermoon so I probably have a version of Silvermoon for my database at this point. The key question here is how to take a working system and replicate that to another system. I would assume that would be transfer of my backup (four SQL files) and the Mangos folder which includes the EXE and DLL files and CONF files (3 of those I think).

    The part that cannot be replicated because of size is the DBC, VMAPS and MAPS folders. These weer extracted directly from the 2.3.3 Warcraft. Since we haven't hear a word from Reaper in a very long time, I would not be turning blue waitnig on a 2.4.0 mangos release.

    Has anyone even verified that the production Warcraft 2.4 will not run on this? I'm not going to test it because I'm perfectly happy with 2.3.3 right now. If you look ahead at some point Blizzard will deliberately make their CLIENT software incompatible with all Mangos/Ascent style reverse engineering. How do I know this? Common sense.

    I'd be happy to make another package of my backup for you minus the VMAPS DBC and MAPS if "more than one" person says they will download and try to use it...

    it seems to work very well and has the Silvermoon portals at all the boat locations, AH works, most mobs appear to be casting spells, overpowered Warlock imp and all. blink even seems to be working now most of the time. Every instance I have tried seems to work and GMIsland has vendors with cool epic sets on them. Not sure what else you could want.

    Reaper/Oatman did an excellent job.

    @Quillix: my testing has been somewhat limited to the instances we have played. For example I don;t know that Ramparts has any such escort quests. Do you have a particular one you would like us to test we were planning to play again Wednesday night we can try it if you name it.

    Oatman! WB.

    I don't understand -why- everyone is always so itchy to go to the next client release. Do what I do. Make a copy of your Warcraft folder and don't expect that everytime Bliz throws an update at you that everyone will immediately scramble to make mangos and ascent work with the next client version.

    Bliz client is for retail database. If anything else works with like 2.4.x thats lucky - feel lucky. =)

    Sorry to hear about Reaper's connectivity but happy to hear it's JUST connectivity and in the universe of possibility he is probably going to be back yay!

    Thanks for the tips and pointing me in the right direction. Checked some things out and found out that the AH distribution of items was equal to 101% instead of 100%. After i fixed that, no more crashes. Not sure if that was the exact problem since i tweaked some other AH bot settings.

    But things are good here and i wanted to make sure to thank you for taking the time.

    Well, Wailing Caverns has an escort quest with Narlax.. and a few of the actual "Events" like in RazorFen Kraul at the end where there is this big purple shield blocking the way to the boar boss. Thats supposed to come down after triggers from killing the NPCs outside. And a few other quests i found are broken Princess Trapped quest in Arathi Highlands, The Second Trial (paladin quest).
    Another quick question is there a way to increase spawn amounts.. Like in Badlands with the rock elementals and stuff where online there is about 20 in one little spawn area but on here i found maybe 2-3 of them at one time.
    Also do you have any Scripts you added of your own to fix certain quests or areas?

    Patch 2.4 would not work with this core. They will have to work on a new version for this to work. Lately ascent has been releasing faster cores for the patches. With ascent, you are able to change the build range in the Conf. file to a point. But the new patch is not a few bug fixes. Some new content is being added. So everyone wait to update to 2.4 untill they have the new core out. It takes a few days to a few weeks depending on the Developers.

    What is your client Version? It is in the bottem left corner. It says something like 2.3.3.7799.
    This repack only supports 2.3.3.7799. If its under you need to run the patch to update to 2.3.3.7799. If you go over that patch you will have to downgrade.

    Never use your wow launcher. Always use Wow.exe. The launcher will always check for updates. Only update when you know your server will support the current core.

    Reaper, I recently upgraded from Reaper Mangos 4651 to 5116 and am experiencing in-game issues on both UDB and Silvermoon with mob NPCs all being neutral and in a state of semi-evade bugged.

    I can attack them and deal damage, but the NPCs remain neutral and if I don't deal enough damage to 1-shot kill them they regenerate back to full health within a few milliseconds.

    I did not experience this issue with the older 4651 release. Did something change with the databases or did I just get really unlucky and my install became corrupted?

    Is anyone else having this issue with one or both of the databases?

    go to your database with Sqlyog. Go to Mangos and under playercreateinfo_item. You can add and change any class items there. Theres like 5 of these types of tables you can alter spells,skills and stuff like that on startup. You can even change there start location. Hope this helps you out

    Alot of people host there own game server. You can get a free DNS and its attached to your IP address. You could have a host company host your game for you but It can be pricey getting a good one. It has to be a pretty fast server. My self, i host my own game and have a host for my main website and forums so theres no extra taxing on my server. I have Godaddy for my website. There cheap, you can pay monthly,Descent support,cheap Domain names (1.99) and cheap startup costs. I got mine going for under 20.00. Its set up and ready to use in like 10 minutes.

    The Dynamic DMS in like mygameserver.serveftp.org
    There free. go here

    Databases do change over releases. When you upgrade from to big of a revision you could have problems. it sounds like you have database problems. There is guides out that show you how to take critical information from one to another. But if they change the tables to much you will have to convert to the new tables. This can take some time. I usually upgrade as much as possible to avoid alot of problems down the road.

    @alexT

    This is not ny guide. I got it from a differant site.

    Unlike making custom vendors, there is a lot more customization that you can do with quests. Rather then list a guide showing how to create every quest combination I'm just going to explain each part of a quest. For simplification purposes I am using SQLyog to edit the tables for quests. For some odd reason when I use Navicate there are "memo" column I'm not allowed to edit thus making naming the quests impossible.

    I break quests into 4 parts. Though some quests only need 3 parts to them. Everyquest has to have the quest itself. (part 1) Some method of starting the quest. (part 2) More then one method to starting a quest can be used. Some object or person to turn the quest into. (part 3) The 4th part is something that gives you a quest item. I am still working on this part, have had some problems with it.

    Part one: The Quest

    Zone ID: The zone you want your quest to be listed under. Some usable ID numbers.

    blank = 5
    aldrassil = 256
    azshara = 16
    azshara crater = 268
    blasted lands = 4
    duskwood = 10
    echo ridge mine = 34
    Elwynn forest = 12
    kul tiras = 21
    longshore = 2
    moonbrook = 20
    refuge pointe = 320
    reuse me 6 = 66
    stranglethorn vale = 33
    swamp of sorrows = 8
    the cemetery = 32
    the dark portal = 72
    the maclure vineyards = 64
    the world tree = 13
    westfall = 49
    ziata'jal ruins = 128

    QuestSort: The zone you want your quest to be listed under again. Why twice I don't know, but imputing a number into the first gives the same result as imputing a number into the second and leaving the first. However if you have different numbers in both of these columns the ZoneID numbers seems to be ignored and the quest will still be listed under whatever ID number you put into QuestSort

    QuestFlags: Though one would imagine there is a usefulness of this column as of yet different numbers in here doesn't seem to effect quests any.

    Minlevel: the level you have to be to pick up the quest
    Maxlevel: the level of the quest itself. (not the "max" level to get credit for) so if you put 30 here the quest will be yellow to a 30 but gray to a 60

    Type: The numbers say it all
    0 blank (solable)
    1(group)
    41(pvp)
    62(raid)
    81(dungeon)

    Required Races: Only these races will be able to pick up the quest. This is done binary style. To have more then one race be allowed to pick it up add the listed ID numbers together. If you only want only humans put a 1 into here. If you want only humans and dwarfs place a 5 into here. 1+4=5.
    1 = human
    2 = orc
    4 = dwarf
    8 = night elf
    16 = undead
    32 = tauren
    64 = gnome
    128 = troll
    512 = bloodelf
    1024 = dranei
    690 = all horde races
    1101 = all alliance races
    ***as of 5.0/5.1 this column isn't working quite right. I'll see if the base numbers have changed later***

    The other Requireds are pretty self explanatory. I'll try to create a ID listing of usable numbers for these fields later on.

    Limittime: now many seconds you have to complete the quest. 60=1 minute ect. Have to actually have a requirement to complete the quest, or it auto flags failed.

    Special flags: Don't seem to be very special. Haven't noticed any difference in quests by placing any numbers into here.

    PrevquestID: Self explanatory
    NextquestID: QuestID you'll be offered as soon as you finish this one

    SrcItem: ID number of an item you get when accepting the quest
    SrcItemCount: How many of the items you get when picking up the quest.

    Title: The name that appears inside your quest log
    Details: The text at the top when you pick up a quest (ideally the in character explanation for the quest)
    Quest Objectives: Text at the bottom when you pick up a quest. (the recap on what you need to do)
    Quest incomplete: Text you get when you go to turn in the quest. (gives the gray out continue if you haven't completed the requirements or the pushable continue if you have)
    Quest ending: shown underneath quest objectives when viewed from the quest log.
    quest complete: Text you get when you turn in the quests before you click on "complete quest" button
    Object text: Overwrite text describing what is required to complete a requirement. If left bank this will be be taken care of automatically by creating required mobkill or items ect later on. Text placed into here will overwrite the auto fills. Does nothing if quest has no requirements (the text to the left of "0/1" in your quest log)

    ReqItemId1-4: ID numbers of item(s) needed to complete the quest
    ReqItemCount1-4: How many of the item(s) you need to complete the quest

    ReqKillmoborGOId1: ID number of the creature you want to require to be killed. Found inside creature_names. I'll look into the GOid part later on.
    ReqkillmoborGOidcount: How many you have to kill

    RewChoiceItem1-6: ID number of item(s) you can pick for completing the quest
    RewChoiceCount1-6: How many you get of said item

    RewItemId1-4: Item you automatically get when completing the quest
    RewRepFaction1-2: ID for reputation modification when completing a quest
    RewRepValue1-2: #value your rep will increase. Can also use negative numbers to decrease rep
    RewRepLimit: may have a use but all blizzard quests have 0 so 0 is good enough for me.

    RewMoney: how many coins you get. 1=1copper 10000=1gold
    ReqXP: amount of XP you get (at max level this is automatically turned into gold)
    Rewspell: Spell ID you learn upon completing the quest
    Castspell: spell ID that gets casted on you upon completing the quest

    Pointmapid: Not sure how it works

    RequiredMoney: to complete quest. 1=1copper 10000=copper

    Exploretrigger1-4: Location you must have explored to complete quest

    RequiredQuest1-4: IDs of quests required to have been completed before you can get this quest
    ReceiveItemId11-4: IDs of item(s) you will receive upon completing the quest. (often used to give additional quest items for later quest chains)
    ReceiveItemCount1-4: Number you get of said item(s)

    Isrepeatable: 0=not repeatable 1=repeatable

    Part 2
    Quest starter
    Creature_quest_starter or gameobject_quest_starter
    ID = ID of NPC who offers the quest
    Quest = ID of quest offered

    To make an Item give you the quest create an item or use an already made one.
    Add the Quest ID number to the quest_id column

    Part 3
    Quest finisher
    Creature_quest_finisher or gameobject_quest_finisher
    ID = ID of NPC who offers the quest
    Quest = ID of quest offered

    Part 4
    Drop quest Items
    Still working on this part myself

    Long but it works

    #BurnZeZ: I'm making a guess you might have a problem with a DLL out of sync with the EXE. Make sure you are using a proper Server package with all of the matched DLL's to go with your Mangos and realmd EXE's. I'd also read somewhere you should install both the 2.x Dot Net runtime package as well as the 3.x (3.5?) version I thought I heard Oatman say this once and I just went and did it.

    Good luck.

    Yes most if not all of the escort quests are indeed bugged. Oh well. I can live with it.

    Does anyone have a better launcher than mine? Here is mine. It is in EXCEL format. Just select the server name on the left and make a mental note of the login and password and then click Launch. It also has a column for the launch folder for Warcraft so you can store older version like 230 and 233 etc. Since not all servers use the same. This is handy for keeping your Production Wow (now at 240) separate and still being able to launch it conveniently. Also helps me keep my passwords straight.

    This is done in the database itself. go to your database and under Realmd you will see realmlist. you edit it there, dont forget to click the little disk above the area to save. Just reload your server and you ready to go.

    You edit the data base with Sqlyo or navicat. they both have free versions

    Hello again,

    well fixed my problem before then stared getting validation errors. So decided to upgrade to mangos 5116 to support 2.3.3.7799. installed udb files and upgraded. Now I am back to the same old error that I was having issues with before. I did try the / and \ marks for the datadir= but the thing is it says logs= and there is no datadir= under mangosd.config with this new upgrade. getting that error 0004331.map does not exists please put .map .vmap and bla bla bla in correct path file. tried the expansion=0 that worked with 5089 and it ignored the error. I do have the map that it says I am missing so it isnt that.

    can anyone help me? or can i use the mangos.config files from 5082 and if i did would it work? without validation errors.
    and no I am not running launcher just wow.exe and that is were i get validation errors with 5082 so i figured maybe it was time to upgrade to 5116.

    I have 5116 running very well and have only one concern. I know this has been mentioned, but I'm not sure it has been addressed. NPC scripting for the follow/escort quests.

    I have found that many of the quests that require an NPC to interact with the environment are currently broken. Shadowfang Keep, where the prisoner must pick the door lock for you does not work. The Defias Traitor in Westfall does not move (though that one IS completed by entering the instance in the Deadmines itself). There are a couple more that have been confirmed above.

    Where would one start to dig into the scripting aspect. I am good with SQL so if it is a DB issue I can start there. If it's in the .exe I can look there as well. My problem is basically not knowing where to start looking. Once I understand the basics of the scripting, It wouldn't be too hard for me to debug the issue.

    Thanks

    #Lemon: Wow Lemon that's a new one. Obviously the place I would start would be looking at the Characters database. Since it switches from REALMD to the CHARACTERS database you should verify connectivity to the database characters table using your login passwords from the Mangosd.conf file and Realmd.conf file.

    Try taking what you have listed in those files and create a new connection with an enterprise manager type tool like SQLYog. Type in what you put in the conf files and make SURE you can actually manually connect with those logins and passwords you listed in the CONF's files. One time I figured I'd make it more secure and go with 3307 instead of 3306 for the MySQL port for example. It's REALLY easy to miss a little setting somewhere when you do that sort of stuff; happens to all of us.

    Its core related to be level 70. I believe you will need to get a patch so it will calculate past 70. Both Ascent and Mangos developers want to keep it as much like the real blizz as possible. They make the patches and stuff like that. Matter of fact they made the auction house bot. But you have to download via svn and recompile the core to utilize this. I know this doesnt help you much but you can research it at http://www.mangosproject.org/forum/

    Ascent and mangos both have the problems with the escort quests. You will have to download the Core via svn, then the patch and then recompile. You will need to install quite a few more prorams to do this. If you want to do this for mangos go here for the info.

    Oh and the scripting has nothing to do with Sql. Its all done in C++, so i hope your good at programming. There is patches out there that others have done. But read the guides on how to install. it takes some time to do. alot of trial and error.

    No you cannot on this release use the old config files. They are differtant. But you will have to edit your new ones. Your data dir is not set to the correct path for your maps. thats what the error is. Open up both conf files and see how it was done on the original one. Mangosd.conf file. look here

    # Data directory setting.
    # Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may
    # contain space characters.
    DataDir = "C:/reaper-x-easy-mangos/data"

    Make sure you put all your stuff in the data folder and point to it. Like your Vmaps,maps and DBC files. now it should work with no problems.

    Thanks! C++ I can do!

    I just discovered the ScriptDev2 forums and they are a wealth of knowledge! Anyone wanting to take on some of the scripting would do well to take a look at http:\www.scriptdev2.com

    I dont see anyone bitching here, they are asking questions because they simply overlooked something. For most, this is there first time. And a validation error does NOT need a wow repair and a missing vmap does not require a full re-install. A validation error has to do with the client not being the right version with the repack version and the Vmap error Has issuses with missing files normally due to the data-dir missing or poiting to the wrong location. Giving misleading information will even confuse them anymore. Lets try to help these people out bescides "Read the Guide" Im sure they did, thats why there asking questions.

    Hey Guys - this site rocks. I carefully went through the instructions on setting up my first private wow server and all went smoothly. I'm using Hamachi on a private vpn so that I don't have to worry about dynamic IPs changing the realmlist info.

    Anyway - I do have an issue... when a new character starts out in the world regardless of faction, the pets of any friendly people are hostile! like the warlock trainers - you get nearby and the imps just go BOOM HEADSHOT and it's all over. Anyone else see this and know a possible cause?

    Hi , i have 1 one question,
    i run reaper-x-mangos , well by choosing i chose 4 ,

    Where is your Datadir Located?

    The system cannot find the given up path.
    DBC Directory doesnt exist make sure to put/copy/move the DBC directory into c: \ Program Files\World or Warcraft\Data\Mangos Maps

    Press any key to continue. . .

    but if i go to that map, i see dbc standing there :S , someone knows what's the problem is?

    It seems that you're using the new 5225 version based from your description

    and actually that problem was caused because there's space at your data directory location (i'll fix this on the next version, i'm really sorry for this)

    as for the solution (for this problem), you need to create a new directory that doesnt contain space, for example

    C:\WoW\data

    and place the DBC directory, VMaps directory and Maps directory inside C:\WoW\data :)

    sorry but i dont really understand u, u mean IN the world of warcraft map or a new map named WoW?,

    i cant put there the maps cause i see there something like expansion.mpq and some other things, and already tried that to, :( ,

    #johann: the level 55+ aggro IMP bug in the newb areas is a bug in the release. I just selected the IMP and typed

    .delete

    No more imp. I think GTA mentioned a proper fix to change their faction or something.

    Ok here is what my mangosd.config looks like. The old one (5082) had the DATADIR=.
    This is 5116 and there is logsdir=, but NO DATADIR=. So were does it go? I ran the upgrade and got no errors. Now I am back to getting error 0004331.map does not exist. I tried the trick I did to get 5082 to work by changing expansion=0. That fixed the problem with 5082, but will not work with 5116. I need to know were to put DATADIR=

    # MaNGOS Configuration file
    ConfVersion=2007103101

    # RealmID must match the realmlist
    RealmID = 1

    # Allow server use expansion content

    Expansion = 0

    @Martian: I don't know what you mean there is no datadir. I still have one. The logs are for logging. My data dir (which also doesn't include space in the path name - not by coincidence) looks like this. Inside the C:\mangos\data folder you would find my DBC MAPS and VMAPS folders. If I were to put my MySQL data on the C: it would probably be there too but I opted to put that on a different drive for speed and to avoid writing so much to the C: drive.

    # Data directory setting.
    # Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may # contain space characters.
    DataDir = "C:\mangos\data"

    # Logs directory setting.
    # Important: Logs dir must exists, or all logs be disable
    # Default: "" - no log directory prefix, if used log names isn't absolute path then logs will be stored in current directory for run program.
    LogsDir = "Logs"

    @ informative
    in the magosd.config file there use to be datadir=
    in my mangosd.config file there is no listed anywere in the file as shown in previous posting. All I have is logsdir=

    your mangosd.config actually has the below mine does not.

    # Data directory setting.
    # Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may # contain space characters.
    DataDir = “”

    This is wierd I know. I'll try A repair with wow and fresh install mangos 5116 and see if that fixes the problem.

    thanks,

When i extrated the first time it give me the following folders... (Maps) (Vmaps) (DBC) now the only thing i noticed is that the vmaps folder is empty after extraction and also i beleiev after looking at the log some files are still missing from the maps... So when ever i run the mangosd.exe i believe that's the name i cannot create an account...The following code below is the exact error i get when running....

    I have place the vmaps/map/dbc into C:\WoW\data and yet i still get this error. Not sure why... Oh another thing my World of Warcraft was a fresh copy from the server downloaded... Took me 5 hrs to download does this has anything to do with it not sure if security reason also i have install all patches.. And the only thing i ebelive missing is a copy of Burning Crusader Expanson ... My wow folder uses 6.5 gigs and not the computer i have setup the mysql and world of warcraft has no internet connection... I believe the mysql data base on the pc should auto log me cause it's on the same server if not.. Please help me otherwise.. I did everything ok.. Setup mysql...ect with no problems.. I now need futher help..

    Thanks..

    Ah if you don't have Burning Crusade expansion installed, you can open mangosd.conf directly and change Expansion = 1 to Expansion = 0

    and btw this is the old version, the new version is at 5225 :)

    Thanks Reaper for an excellent job. But I have the same problem. I have tested it with other races too and so far the undead has a similar issue. There is an imp next to Sarvis when you have just started and it will just attack and kill you just as you enter the deathknell.

    Hi All,
    I have an issue that nobody else seems to have. I get mobs that can walk into hills etc, mobs that attack you when you are flying 20ft above them. I have had other problems but I am hoping that if I fix the big one all the others will go away too. I have tried reinstalling my client and rebuilding the maps, dbc and vmaps folders. Enabled vmaps, disabled vmaps, tried both databases, tried running with a fresh client. I have tried completely blowing everything away and starting again more than once, and still no luck. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Version 2.3.3 enUS
    Thanks,
    Richard.
