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.

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.

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!

Are any of these Mangos releases compatible for Macs? And, if not, is there a way I could be directed to a site that deals with Mac versions of private servers?!

#Johann

I guess it is possible maybe I could just include RoSPORA or something like that for the account creation. Now obviously its obselete and out of date so I’d have to do some coding to get it to work.

#Dopey

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.

#Merijn

Oh really? Thats pretty cool whats the link to your user profile on PSDB’s WebSite.

Thanks so Much For Your Support Means Alot to Reaper and Myself! :D

Hey Oatman,

Thanks for stepping up man. Looking forward to the new release. Any chance you can get both AH bot & Vendors included? That and the unified database would be great. Thanks again!

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!

Glad that you all decided to stay and wait for me to fill you guys in. Anyhow I’ll have to work on it tomorrow since its a weekend. Sorry about this but at least you know that it is ready and I’ll be able to hopefully get it up tomorrow becuase I am actually going to code an app or at least try that lets you edit the mangosd.conf file

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.

This has actually been built into the game there is over 40 new commands that GM’s can enter so you’ll have fun looking through how much has been added.

Hey Jared nice to see you back. Do you have any plans to include a way to alter reputation in-game? Reaper included it in one of his previous releases and it made using rep-based items alot easier.

Oatman said May 23, 2008 at 3:48 am

#BadBoy

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.

Welcome back! Patience is the key. :) I set up my private server a couple of weeks ago so I haven’t tried to backup my char info etc yet. Is it possible to add such a feature to the repack? Would be absolutely amazing. :)

Thanks for your effort, truly appreciated.

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. :)
