Reaper MaNGOS 5931 with ScriptDev 412|Server Compatible With 2.4.2 (UDB ONLY!)

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE FRESH INSTALL TOOL IT IS BROKEN IN THIS RELEASE. IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS RELEASE DOWNLOAD THE 5472 RELEASE AND THEN USE THE UPGRADE TOOL IN THIS RELEASE. THE PROBLEM IS I FORGOT TO INCLUDE SOME SQL AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING CREATURE.ADDON ERRORS AND ALOT OF VARIOUS SQL ERRORS. I APPOLOGIZE SINCERELY.

NOTE: THIS IS SAFE HOWEVER IF YOU ARE USING THE UPGRADE TOOL! SO IF YOUR UPGRADING FROM THE PREVIOUS RELEASE IT WILL WORK ITS JUST THE FRESH INSTALL THAT IS BUGGED UP!

Sorry Included an Old Map Extractor Heres the Updated Link!

https://mangos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk/contrib/map_extractor/ad.exe

Well looks like its FINALLY TIME for another Reaper MaNGOS Release so that you all can get your servers updated with the latest features and to use the new 2.4.2 client. I spent a couple of hours getting this release ready and I think I finally have gotten it right.

Also as a Side-Note PSDB is NOT included in this release due to the fact that their organization at their site is horrible and they are unclear on how to upgrade from an older database. So you guys will have to get Reaper to tell me or a PSDB Dev to instruct me on how to upgrade or else you guys will not have a PSDB Database.

New Features:

  • Don’t even ask! There is so many bug fixes/new features its not even funny. It would take me hours to type it all up because of how much has been added since the last release!

About Oatman:

Btw just to let you all know my name is Jared (Oatman) and I am good partners with Reaper and I help him release some of the WoW Releases! For all of you that have been wondering Reaper has just made a move from his previous city and sometime during that move he visited a doctor and he has a medical condition referred to as Vertigo. Some of you may be aware of this while others are not. Feel free to search Google for what it is. I would like to advise you that he is ok but his doctor told him to stay away from the computer for the time being.

SunWell

REQUIREMENTS:

1. MySQL Database and the Guide on how to Install MySQL

2. World of Warcraft Client version 2.4.2

3. Updated DBC’s, VMAP’s, and MAPS Updated for 2.4.2!
DBC’s are already included as part of this release!

4. Reaper-Mangos Server :
Reaper Mangos 5931 SD2 412 (UDB ONLY) FULL | 18.29 MB | File Beam
Reaper Mangos 5931 SD2 412 (UDB ONLY) FULL | 18.29 MB | Rapidshare
Reaper Mangos 5931 SD2 412 (UDB ONLY) FULL | 18.29 MB | Mega Upload
Reaper Mangos 5931 SD2 412 (UDB ONLY) FULL | 18.29 MB | Media Fire

 

Fresh Install:
Important Note : Fresh installation will overwrite your database

1. First you’ll need to install MySQL

2. Extracting Maps, DBC and VMaps from your World of Warcraft installation
(You can safely ignore the Patch-2, or any not found xxx-2 message)–This only happens if your extracting from patch 2.4.0

3. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat inside the reaper-x-mangos folder, and you’ll see something like below image for an example, and then you just need to write the full path to your mysql installation directory (where mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe can be found) ;)

MySQL Input Directory

4. Selection Option 1 by pressing “1&Prime on the keyboard and pressing enter.
Note: This will wipe out any previous versions of WoW you have in your database.

Jared ReaperMangos Version of Menu

6. After finished with all of the above process, all you have to do now is just open the realmlist.wtf file in your World of Warcraft installation directory (the default location can be found at C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft) using Notepad, Wordpad, or your favorite text editor and then …

Replace :

set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com

With :

set realmlist 127.0.0.1

and then save it and close realmlist.wtf File.

7. Now you just need to run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe from your mangos directory and then the next step would be creating your own username with your desired password for your own WoW server account as shown on below image followed by typing setgm to give yourself a GM level account

By the way, if you can’t see what you should type inside the mangosd window from the above image, actually you just need to type :

create username password

to create the account

setgm username 1-3

to give yourself GM Access at certain level (3 is the highest level and should only be used on your account while normal player is 0)

8. Finally if you have Burning Crusade client installed and want to be able to create Burning Crusade specific character, all you have to do is just type :

setbc username 1

to enable burning crusade expansion for your account :)

Optional :
If you want to change the server name into something else, you can use the reaper-x-mangos.bat to adjust it :)

Upgrading from 5472 Release:

1. Re-extract vmaps, maps and dbc because this version no longer supports the old World of Warcraft 2.3.3 installation and only supports the new 2.4.2

2. Go into your WoW Reaper Server Directory, and open reaper-eazy-mangos. Next I recommend opening the batch file and backing up your character data. This is optional though.

3. Open the Folder called “Upgrade” and run reaper-x-upgrade.bat.

4. Next type in the directory to the Bin Folder where your mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe files are located.

5. Then make sure that you are upgrading from the latest previous version or else you WILL corrupt your database and possibly lose your character data.
Upgrade Warning

Guide on how to Edit Mangos.Conf
Thanks for the Mangosd.conf edit guide Jeremy!

First off make sure that you have your MySQL running before doing anything.

You need to go back into the reaper folder (C:\Reaper-X-Easy-MaNGOS\reaper-eazy-mangos)
And run the batch file called reaper-x-mangos, there is an option there to setup your LAN or IP for use, This new batch file does correctly setup your DB to the IP you enter in this batch file. Once you’ve done that, if you haven’t gone back in to edit the config files in your reaper folder mentioned above, you need to do that, there is a section in there with this.

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

This is an example of waht it may look like. You need to change this to the path where you put your data folder with the maps, vmaps, and dbc’s.

Second, …

# Database connection settings for the world server.
# Default: hostname;port;username;password;database
# .;somenumber;username;password;database - use named pipes at Windows
# Named pipes: mySQL required adding “enable-named-pipe” to [mysqld] section my.ini
# .;/path/to/unix_socket;username;password;database - use Unix sockets at Unix/Linux
# Unix sockets: experimental, not tested
LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;realmd”
WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;mangos”
CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;characters”

Above, you need to change the MANGO;MANGOS to your root DB name, likey it’s just root, and YOUR batabase (DB) password (you should know this)

YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE IP’S here or in the realmd file, ONLY THROUGH THAT BATCH FILE, i mentioned above. (that file does it for you)

Next open scriptdev2.conf and realmd.conf and edit the info for them to connect to your database as well.

Hope you enjoy this release if you have any questions feel free to post them as a comment below!

    All I really wish for is that existing characters from your last release will be imported without loss. ^^ I kind of lost all my old ones a while ago, and I'd rather not restart yet again.

    Oh and I really like the AH-bot. It's great for those of us who play by themselves.

    Welcome back! I hope your health situation has been resolved. :)

    This will be a 2.4.2 release ONLY! You will have to upgrade to this newer release in order ot use this version. We are skipping 2.4 and 2.4.1 and are going straight to a 2.4.2 release.

    #Phen

    Oh yea we will definately include the Auction House Update. Also sure enough characters will be 100% upgradeable. Just remember though since we've been gone a while this release is much bigger due to the fact that there is SOOO MUCH extra SQL Files that are needed for the update.

    I am using the most recent version of Reaper MaNGOS (the one below this one) and I have had success up to one final point (and I post here cuz the comments were recent, meaning someone might read it). I am having the issue where the server is connecting then just disconnects. I have loaded mangosd.exe and realmd.exe w/ NO isssues or errors (fixed line in scriptdev2 as well and edited create_database.sql to see the DB in MySQL). I still have this issue though. Is it due to max players being set to 0? Or something else. Please, I am sooooo close to getting this operational. Any input would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Hey Oatman, we're so glad to know you are helping out Reaper!

    One question - is it possible in the reaper repacks to include a ready to use account creation weabpage? For example, here is a repack (using ascent, not Mangos) that includes all of it, based on the free Apache webserver.

    http://panex-gaming.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1660

    I would rather stick with Mangos but this is a very awesome feature that Panex uses and it would be great to see reaper's packs use them too!

    Yea I'll include the Auction House Bot also I am not so sure about the GM Island Vendors but I'll look into it.

    If I remember correctly those are just replacement vendors for the GM Island vendors I think from Silvermoon? (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) Personally I prefer them located at GM Island, keeps the normal areas more like the live servers.

    Chris - if you want to learn how to make a private server with Macs, Windows or Linux you can go to http://projectsilvermooon.net. You will need to do some reading but the tools are available for all platforms.

    The new island "The Isle of Quel'Danas and the instances will be open but only at a second party extent. This means that the island is full with npc's and all of the new items are there and all BUT there no NPC's in the instance yet. Don't worry though that will be after this release.

    #Kriss

    Well with him moving to a different city and him being diagnosed with Vertigo it kinda haulted the production of the site.

    #Grabus

    I have no scheduled date BUT I am almost positive that it will be this weekend.

    #GameMan

    Yes and the command is called.

    Haven't they always been there... LOL Anyhow i haven't used Reapers Old Re-Pack but almost all the bugs have been fixed in these newer versions you'll be impressed.

    #Chris

    MaNGOS is written in C++ which can be transverted over to Mac OSX since it is a duel support language and it also works on Linux as well. Although, we do not provide support for Linux or MacOSX BUT we may in the future all depending on if I buy a Macintosh System. :D

    Oh great I remembered that I have to include SilverMoon BLEW!!!! Oh well I'll still do it though even though I am not the biggest fan of it mainly because I havn't used it in a while but I know alot of people like it and it used to be WAY better than UDB but still I'll use it since you guys will want it.

Also this is such a HUGE Upgrade when I first have it released there may end up being some bugs SO PLEASE if you operate a official server make sure you see some comments saying that it is clear to go when I put it up because there is a chance it may not be 100% perfect and have some issues and I'll have to put a recall on it.

    Hi All,
    Hope I can get some help. I’ve just upgraded from reaper’s 5225 to 5472 preparing for the release of 2.4.2 package. Everything seems fine, but when I go to log in to a character, I immediately get disconnected from server and the following message appears at the mangos>
    SQL: SELECT guid,account,data,name,race,class,position_x,position_y,posit
    ion_z,map,orientation,taximask,cinematic,totaltime,leveltime,rest_bonus,logout_t
    ime,is_logout_resting,resettalents_cost,resettalents_time,trans_x,trans_y,trans_
    z,trans_o, transguid,gmstate,stable_slots,at_login,zone,online,pending_honor,las
    t_honor_date,last_kill_date,taxi_path FROM characters WHERE guid = ‘45′
    query ERROR: Unknown column ‘taxi_path’ in ‘field list’
    ERROR: Player (GUID: 45) not found in table `characters`, can’t load.
    Hope someone can help as this is really frustrating me. Thanks, Kuso.

    No clue unless Reaper was not upgrading the previous releases correctly cause I took NO place in making those 2 compiles.

    Anyhow sorry PSDB users I am not making a release for it becuase it is cluttered and the site for PSDB makes no sense on how to upgrade versions. I cant tell if it wants me to compile there sql then mangoses seperately or if it is included. You guys are going to have to get Reaper to help you on PSDB or hes going to have to tell me what files to add for PSDB to update it because it makes NO sense whats so ever to me...

    Oh fudge. Believe me i understand that the instructions on the silvermoon site can be confusing. Their are I think 3 different sets of instructions for creating your own server using mangos with PSDB and all of them are missing some part of the process. It's frustrating. I got through setting up my own server with them but they don't tell you what all .sql dump files need to be applied to mangos or scriptdev2 and in what order, so when I run my server i get a lot of scripting errors in the mangos load screen. And once I'm logged into the game the problems are apparent immediately... no quests!

    It is a quality product though. I hope Reaper is able to help with the PSDB repack. I've been using that for a while and I originally switched to it because there was a lot of scripting put in to 'fix' broken quests such as escorts. (i.e. alternate methods of getting credit such as killing nearby mobs or something). In UDB there were no such fixes because they were trying to stay as true to the original WoW as possible. So it either works or it doesn't.

    If that has changed recently I'd be happy to switch back to UDB, but I haven't heard that's the case.

    I am sad.

    "ERROR 1136 (21S01) at line 187: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1"

    Any response is much appreciated. Thank you.

    the .map problem appears to be due to an old "ad.exe" file included with the new release...

    there's a newer one located at:

    https://mangos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk/contrib/map_extractor/

    it seems to work as far as getting past the map error but now i'm stuck at the following error msg

    -----------------------------------

    >> Loaded 0 creature. DB table `creature` is empty.

    Use an update ad.exe for 2.4.2 maps

    https://mangos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk/contrib/map_extractor/ad.exe

    Download, move it to your wow installation folder, create folder "maps" and run ad.exe

    Will work fine after that. Currently having this problem atm:

    WEWT! I LOVE PUTTING MY THEORYS TO THE TEST!!!!

    Alright I was having this problem and so were abunch of other people "ERROR:Error in creature_template_addon table, probably sql file format was updated (there should be 8 fields in sql)."

    With this file once you download there will be 3 files. "Characters, mangos, and realmd". So what your gonna need to do is go to your Navicat and drop your characters, mangos, and realmd databases. (KEEP YOUR SCRIPTDEV2 DATABASE THOUGH!!!!)

    After you've done that make a new characters, mangos, and realmd database(s). Use the file characters.sql file I gave you for characters database, mangos.sql for mangos, and realmd.sql for realmd.

    TESTED and 100% works!

    Hello Oatman,

    First of all I'd like to thank you for your amazing work. I'm currently trying to upgrade my server. I'd just like to add one small tip so far in your description: perhaps add a link to the forum post explaining map extraction etc. For clueless people (like myself :)) that may have forgotten how the map extraction process is done.

    Thanks again. :)

    Hi, I'm new to this site and tried to install this new version of the Server.

    I'm a newbie, so I'll probably get flamed for this, but i'm really stuck :( and would like some help, when I run 'reaper-x-mangos'. and press 1 so it does a clean install it asks me for root usernames, chracters files, ScriptDev...something. Am I supposed ot have these already? so anyway I put in the default things and install it, but when I tried to run mangos to run the server it's like 'can't connect' :(

    Really need help.
    Thanks for Reading.
