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

oatman doe’s that mean you and reaper are no longer going to do anymore mango’s
First, thanks for the awesome guides and all the hard work! :)
Quick question. I’ve installed everything, I can log in ect… But it seems the mobs and NPCs are having pathing issues. They either just stand in place or the walk back and forth for a short distance. This happens almost everwhere I go, any ideas on how to fix this?
@Reaper-x: what do you mean with select * from realmd.realmlist;? Please come back reaper!
thanks, thats why i was gonna install this update and change my database to silvermoon.
i am gonna look on that website u said , i just register but waiting for them to let me in.
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…
thx again.
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.
hope this helps you out
will this update fix the problem im having with the earlier release?
xp bar disapears at lvl 88, its imposible to get past that lvl even though u are still gaining alot of xp from kills…
i set the lvl cap in mangos to lvl 241, the only way i could get to lvl241 is with gm command.
So Blink works ok for everyone else? I click it ten times and maybe it goes off once really strange.
Ah I understand. Thank you Reaper :D
# Gta and Freze
Yup after some time they just came back :)
Can the battlegrounds be fixed? Also, why is it when I am beyond level 70, it says that I do not meet level requirments to enter? Also, where is the eye of the storm people and the arena itself? There is not even a .tele there.
@Dex
They will come again just wait and keep you server op ill tryed it before :)
Normally if you .addspw (id)1 that should make it perm. Just put a space and a 1. that makes it perm Hope this helps you out.
I would Like to enable flying mounts in the regular maps like they are in the outlands so that flying mounts can be used anywhere in WoW?
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks,
Nathan
Thanks Reaper now it worked fine :)
I have another question though:
I play with Silvermoon DB and when i do the ”.addspw” command and place one vendor in some place after a while it disappears.
Is there any other command i could use?
This is my cerious problem now because i spawned the GM vendors in a place but after a while the just gone.
Any help is appreciated,
Dex.
What the different of UDB and Silvermoon DB ??
Some zones under Tele command wont work.
It’s a weird thing they show if you .lookup the tele but when you try to go they say no such tele location. (on silvermoon db)
load the Unified data base and some work but then others are gone completely.
other then that any idea when we will see some sunwell content filtering through?
@Reaper-x: What? lol… can you use the big writing please, I’m so nooby.
# UberWabbit
no .. that shouldnt be a problem, its related to something missing on your realmlist table
try typing these
1. mysql -u root -p
2. select * from realmd.realmlist;
# 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 ;)
Hmm still nothing Reaper :(
Damn!
Isn’t there a program that can allow me to modify the database?
Dang, now I have an error with realmd.exe.
Database: 127.0.0.1;3306;mango;mango;realmd
MySQL client library: 5.0.54
MySQL server ver: 4.1.22-community-nt
SQL: SELECT ‘id’, ‘name’,'address’,'port’,'icon’,'color’,'timezone’,'allowedSecurityLevel’,'population’ FROM ‘realmlist’ WHERE ‘color !=’3′ ORDOR BY ‘name’
No valid realms specified.
Is it because I have v4 mysql?
Ok so i delete my CACHE directory and re-type the command?
I tried only to delete the CACHE directory, then closed-opened the server and the items still needed honor/arena points + marks :(
I’ll try to retype the command now.
# UberWabbit
you can try reading Reaper Mangos FAQ :)
# Dex
Ah forgot to tell you this, actually you need to delete CACHE directory inside your WoW directory ;) … the gold can be directly seen because its not cached while the arena and honor gets cached
Thank you Reaper-X.
The only command that worked was for the gold.
The other 2 (honor and arena points) didn’t work.
I tried to type them seperate and the command told me that it found some, changed 0 warnings 0.
Any ideas?
Thank you so much Reaper! I just have one more question, where can I find some info about silvermoon vs unified?
# UberWabbit
unfortunately the dbc extractor can’t run properly on 64 bit OS :(
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)
but even if you do that im still not sure whether mangos will run without problem in 64bit environment (unless you’re planning on using virtual machine) :)
# Aratel
could you tell me what is your WoW version ?
# Raidex
Yesterday i sent an email message to AVG team about that false alarm, and today i just received a reply from them and they’ve confirmed it’s a false alarm and already released new virus update today that fix this issue :) .. btw if your virusscan detect something on my weblog or anything here, just let me know about it (i always take serious action when it comes to something like this) ;)
# Dex
are you sure ? okay then do these :)
1. open command prompt
2. type mysql -u root -p
3. then type :
update mangos.item_template set BuyPrice =0, requiredhonorrank = 0, RequiredArenaRank = 0;and done

Still getting this error… :’(
Hello guys, is there anyone who knows how can i modify the items so they don’t cost any gold/honor/arena points etc?
Any help is appreciated,
Dex.
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.
informative: Sigh… yes I have vista 64bit, but how is the error I’m receiving tied to vista? I thought it would require me to edit something in mangos config not get a new OS…. However I guess I’ll try these special instructions you mention, please give link and thanks for your response.
PRE-MAKE the destination folders. Better yet if it’s really vista what better time to download VPC and run XP or 2003 in a Virtual machine and just run your map makers in a virtual machine.
#Uberwabbit: Old system? Oh no Vista? There were special instructions to per-make the destination folders for Vista users I think. Ugly stuff. Wait you mean I don;t have the right to make a folder on the fly using the MAKEDIR command in Vista. That’s so clever it kinda wraps around full circle and comes up dumb.
@freze: It’s in the DBC Extractor folder, there’s a extract-enUS and extract-enGB.
can i get the DBC in GB edition???
@informative: I’ve followed the tutorial step by step, and I still receive the same error message no matter what I do. This is very frustrating as I have set up a reaper-x server up on my old computer.
Please if anyone else can help me find a solution don’t hesitate!
@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.

Most of the portals appear to use spell numbers which preset their destination. Is it possible to create a custom portal to go someplace not already scripted?

I’m getting this error, which I’ve been getting since last patch. Please someone come up with an answer, I’m killing myself here!
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 =)
@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
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.
Ok….im having super difficulty getting a server online. ive followed guide after guide and i can’t seem to get it. it’s eaither “20.200.200.200 is not allowed to connect to mysql host. bla bla. or its go through all the setting. and try back and forth to see if i maybe get something right. port forwarding. that dont’ help me. i need something more specific. names of what is exactly being forwarded. to what port? dmz? i mean…i tried so manny things….and i can’t get it. 127.0.0.1. yeah. easy. got a LAN one werking. but…i no no….im lost. and its frustrating. im dum i know…so don’t rub it in.

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

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?
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
did find the problem, i needed to install a update from the windows website. Something had to do with .net, atm i am making the dbc files :D
informative ty on that message done but another question how do i unveal the location of gmisland so i could make portals to the island see i finally three other halfway house with teens that are coming on board i wish reraper and oatman would make a shopping mall that would be great with all the vendors and crafts and trainers that would really be the final nail if they do get to do it then if they made the portals to the mall other then that you boys keep it up and reaper let me know on the flood problem if i could help in anyway let me know.
did instal wow, but still getting a error message.
(it’s in dutch sorry)
But can manly it says can’t initialize. and even when i drag the .mpq file to the mpq extractor it gives the same error
p.s. i can’t whrite anything in mangosd.exe
hey i did all the stuff in reaper-x-mangos.exe
but when i start realmd.exe it says realmd process priority class set to high
