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 :
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

ohh saw someone already have discovered this..
ehm i don’t know if it is just me but my anti-virus system (AVG) detected a Trojan horse agent.NTX (i think) in the reaper exe file where the sql files is.. now i know anti-virus protections sometimes is wrong but i tried to open the file and it said the thing you don’t wanna see when trying to open a suspicied virus file..
no offense against reaper-x but this is a bit a problem if it appears to be on the new server?
Found another possible issue I think.
I was messing around in ZG and realised that none of the mobs were lootable.. The corpses were glowing and everything, just the icon wouldn’t turn gold to allow me to loot. Anyone else got this?
Yes i do run windows vista, but on the server i’m now running xp. But still getting error message’s ..
Will try to reinstall wow first and then let you know if it helpt.
# richard
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 ? :)
and oh dont forget to adjust the datadir once again ;)
# Raidex
I’ll download AVG tonight (my local time displayed at every comment posted) and try to scan it using AVG :)
# Pat
Are you using this version ? because you shouldnt get that error message because the database that is included already updated to this revision :)
btw if you’re restoring backup then the problem probably caused by the old data
Everything loads fine in mangosd.exe until it gets here, and just stops loading. Please help.
Loading Items…
Error in `item_template` table, probably sql file format was updated (there shou
ld be 142 fields in sql).
I’ve done all i can at this point.
This happened when I tried to open the batch file again so i could reinstall database.
I am using AVG with latest updates

Other one was a bit wrong since I didn’t copy and paste.
Bug Report:
After some testing, I realise that there are some skills not working properly,
They are Blizzard and Rain of Fire, they do not damage.
Also, are there any article that teaches how to set up a new realm?
Hey Reaper hopefully you could give me a hand with this since I believe its my last step before being able to get on my server.
So I did everything on the guide and get to the part where I need to have mangosd.exe and realmd.exe, once I open mangos.exe it opens and then starts saying:
Check existing of map file ‘:\world of warcraft\data/maps/0004331.map’: not exist!
Correct *.map files not found in path ‘:\world of warcraft\data/maps’ or *.vmap/ *vmdir files in ‘:\world of warcraft\data/vmaps’. Please place *.map/*/vmap/*vmdir files in appropriate directories or correct the DataDir value in the mangos.conf file.
Any help?
CA Anti-Virus see’s nothing there. I’m really doubting there is an actual virus.
# Raidex
could you tell me what is your antivirus software ? i’ve checked it using Kaspersky 7 and NOD32 (latest update) and found nothing :)
Hmm I tried to extract 5116 and it seems I get a virus warning (trojan agent.ntx) for opening the batch file, the main one.. not the upgrade one. Did a virus scan but nothing :|
Nevermind that, found out what I did wrong, sorry.
How do you get arena points so you get a rating, or how do you get a rating because with the items, it won’t let me put them on…
# Nero
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
# SanityImpaired
yes.. 8085 .. :) (3724 realmd, 8085 world)
I’ve got my server up and running, and I’ve set it up for a LAN so that my GF and I can both use it. The problem is that she needs to get past my router to connect.
I’ve set up port forwarding for port 3724. Are there any other ports I need to worry about?
@muskar
you just do a .levelup 254 on them and org server lvl at 70 so if you want to go past 70 u need to do .levelup cmd.
Muskar wrote:
Ok this may seem a little off-topic since it’s related to this post instead, but since the other topic is old, I’ll give this a try:
I have a problem. I added a few objects and I can’t seem to find a way to delete them again.
.targetobject does only find a Rich Thorium Vein, and if I do .targetobject 22083 it can’t find anything.
.delobject 22083 doesn’t work either.
Any ideas or support?
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.
Any help?
Additional information; I do no have any experience of editing MaNGoS outside of WoW, so please if you refer to editing tables or other data, please explain it more detailed.
Muskar wrote:
Ok, an additional question:
How do I edit the level requirements for each GM level?
I would like to have it this way:
GM4 (Admin) – 255
GM3 – 100
GM2 – 90
GM1 – 80
GM0 (Players) – 70
This IS possible, since I have seen it before on another MaNGoS server.
If anyone know how to do this, please let me know.
Very strange thing with my moving problem.
With the unified databse they don’t move.
With the project silvermoon database they DO.
Hi reaper,
i have a problem with the extract dbc files.
It keeps on saying:
Fatal could not locate SFmpq.dll
grtz
How do I reactivate the AH bot when upgrading. All my items are gone and its not working. Everything else is doing great. Thanks
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.
PS: What are the “optional” VMAPS for?
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.
Strange
@Nivo
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 ;).
Damn,Reaper. I hope those floods stop soon!
And it’s interesting to me that you’re testing Ascent. Last I heard there was some implosion of the leadership. Did someone pick it up again?
THOSE are almost certainly not VISTA compatible registry commands BY THE WAY!
@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 0×4 /f
REM disable Automatic Updates
REG ADD “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv” /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 0×4 /f

Cheers!
I have a problem NPCs on the map are not or just very slowly moving after setting up a fresh 2.3.3 server.
The big creature in Dolnaar is just moving in a small area not around the path, as it should.
Someone can help`?
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
OK so on the AH idea I think I can do this but I need to know what is the format of the time field on the auctions table? That’s gonna need to be customized everytiem or the auctions will all expire instantly

@Justin484: I’m using the ip address found by ipconfig (192.xxx.x.xxx).
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.
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?

motd Welcome to Will’s Fun Wow Server!
well hat off to you guys nice and smooth i love it i wish you could bring back the vendors you make once in orgimmar and storm if not who to you make the gmisland visible so to be able to put portals and how do you change the message of day in the ingame
everything working but i dont know how to set the server to public. for all can join my server?
Greetings!
Is there a way to add how much money a player should start with when they create a new character?
and I want them to have a mail in there backpack with some rules that I write in it?
how do I make this?
everything seems to be working thanx again for the good work,i could still use your help to update my 4703 characters :) how can i get them to you?
is this right
sd2: warning >>loaded 0 localized_texts
sd2: warning >>loaded 0 eventai_scripts
help please?
do we still need to edit the realm and scriptdev2 conf. manually??
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.
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.
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 :
http://www.mangosproject.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=11737
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.
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.
If you need help, let me know ;)
i know this might sound kindof noobish but once you upgrade can you delete the old reaper-x-mangos file???
thx in advance
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.
