Hello Everyone! Here is another one of my releases for the Reaper-X-MaNGOS-WoW Developement Project. In this release I have looked through my previous bugs/errors and have cleaned them out and I am almost positive that they all have been resolved. So if you have any questions comments or concerns please leave us a comment, when you do myself and the community will be glad to assist you!
Updated in this Revision:

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! Also if you already have the 2.4.2 DBC’s, Maps, and VMaps then there is no reason to extract them again.

Custom Vendors Pack

DBC and Maps Extractor:
Just in case the included ad.exe (map extractor) and dbc extractor isn’t working for you (like you keep getting message about maps or dbc file is not compatible), you can try using this one:
DBC and Map Extractor (131KB)
That archive just contain only one file (ad.exe) … and all you have to do is just put it into your WoW installation directory (where wow.exe and launcher.exe can be found) … and delete maps and dbc folder there if exist and then run the new ad.exe … and it’ll extract the maps and dbc files automatically (the output will be in maps and dbc directory)
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) ;)

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 5953 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 (YOU MAY SKIP RE-EXTRACTING IF YOUR DBC’S, MAPS, AND VMAPS ARE ALREADY FROM A 2.4.2 CLIENT!)
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.
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!

# Justin and Chris
Could you try this ad.exe
http://www.reaper-x.com/files/DBC-and-Map-Extractor.rar (131KB)
you just need to extract it into your wow directory where wow.exe and launcher.exe can be found :)
and make sure to delete the maps and dbc folder (if exist) on your wow directory first
Alright… Installed mysql.. installed server to it.. I guess… restarted comp.. I still have problems though, ad.exe still won’t work neither will extract-map. Trying to connect at this moment to mysql isn’t working though… realmd can’t conect, the realmlist is set to ’set realmlist 127.0.0.1′
Someone.. Please help me as I have been wanting this for a couple months.

Does anmyone have a working link for the new Ad.exe? I’m having the “outdated 0004331.map” problem and the links I have followed all return a 404 error.
Just setting up a server here at work. Tried at home yesterday, but with your old distro.
Hoping it will work fine today…
Just a little batch file programming tip.
Put the command “@echo off” in the beggining of your batch files, and you won’t get those annoying repetitions of your messages.
You can also just put the @ command in front of your command lines as @ means “echo off”, but the previous command is better. :)
I am having an interesting error… I have installed MySQL 5.0, and was able to properly extract the maps and vmaps. the installation seemed to go properly, i mean no error messages. I think I edited the magnos.conf, realmd.conf and ScriptDev2.conf correctly anytime I attempt to run magnosd.exe and realmd.exe “I get magnosd.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience”
Anyone have any ideas?
srry, here is the link
okay, ive tryed this enough ive uninstalled reinstalled, used 5.0 mySQL and 6.0 mySQL
but it usually always says cannot connect to localhost 127.0.0.1;root;mangos;mangos
or something like that
the like to see it is here, i am so confused….
Thanks Reaper. It works good on my crap machine ^^
I am having trouble with starting Mangos – I had an old version working last year, then when I tried updating it to the next version I found I could no longer start the deamon. When I try to start either realmd.exe or mangosd.exe they sit there for a bit with the blank command screen with a flashing cursor, then they close without any error.
My lass has been bugging me to get this up again, so I tried starting again from scratch – including removing the whole MySQL server and reinstalling a newer version, then extracting the maps and vmaps from my machine and going through the whole procedure as above. However I’m still getting the same non-error giving closing of the program problem. Any ideas what’s going on?
I’m running this on Windows 2003 Server. I’ve manually added my SQL password to the .conf files and can’t see where else I could’ve made any errors.
Anyone got any idea what’s going on?
i have a problem with the installation but then i get to the scriptdev2 and i type it in and get this mysqa is not recognized as an internal or external command can you help me plz!
I am continuously told that the map files are incompatible (outdated), even after making new map files and downloading them. It finds the files, but says they are wrong. How do I resolve this?

Do a search for the updated vendors.sql file on this page. Download it and replace the old file in the reaper-x-mangos folder and run reaper-x-mangos.bat file. After putting in required info for it to access you database then run #7 add gmisland vendors. And wholla, worked perfect for me.
Hi,
My server is up and going. Just 1 question.
I installed the optional GM vendors that came with the Reaper-x-Mangos. But when I tele to GM Island they are not there, so either I’m looking in the wrong place or they aren’t working properly :S
Any help?
@Dopey
heres a link that will tell u release dates
Here
So what’s the status on the new release?
-Dopey
Ok nvm I remembered, and i fixed it xD. If anyone needs any help about the errors you are free to email and ask me, I can tell you how to fix most of errors.
Now when I open the mangosd file it says:
You have _outdated_ DBC files. Please extract correct versions from current using client.
I did extract them using the client but it says this when it gets to the expansion-local-enUS:
Output directory: .
Fatal: Could not locate MPQ archive expansion-local-enUS
Even though the file is right next to the client.
Can someone help again. Thanks.
Thanks SimplyTan that fixed it. :)
Can someone please give me a list of steps, I am almost done making the server just 1 little problem I cannot connect to Realmd.exe and Mangos .exe….
Keeps saying something like ” Can not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Access is denied for user ‘root’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)
Cannot connect to World database etc etc…
I have made a server before and I remember having the same problem, though I don’t remember how I fixed it, so if anyone can help me here I’d be glad. Thnx! ( if you want you can email me @: vivelaexistonce@live.com )
@ Reaper & Oatman,
great job guys. Have been using the server @ college. Great hit, every1 plays it. :P
But i was wondering if the battlegrounds and arenas are bugged. After being queued in for around an hour and a half, I never entered the BG. Similar case with the arena.
Is there something I’m supposed 2 do to enter it? Or can u fix it up in the next patch, if possible ?
Thank You!
So far all of my lvl 10ish quests have been bugged, anyone know of a fix to this?
I have the message right, I just used a HTML code and it was the wrong one lol
SimplyTan, use Windows search tool or Google and download and copy ‘n paste into your mangos folder.
Void, while i’m here, I think you may be having that problem because you probably didn’t place extract-map.bat along with the other files for extracting map in “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft” You must place ad.exe and extract-map.bat in your WoW directory :)
Okay that was really weird :( let me try that message again: When I try to open realmd, I get this error message:
“This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”
I’m running Windows Vista and I uninstalled and then reinstalled Reaper MaNGOS 5953 and it still said the same thing. Some help please?
lol I had a little problem typing this since that was my first time
When I try to open Mangosd or Realmd, I get this error message
How did you fix this? I’ve been playing with the batch file for like an hour now.
The PATH is set correctly and the mysql command works from a command line in the same directory, but everytime I run the installer it comes back with the whole “‘mysql’ is not recognized as an internal or external command” thing.
It’s sooo annoying
oh yea i also have a problem with my nightelfs u can open the charater page on them 1 time after that if u do it crashes ur wow any thoughts on that aswell
reaper,oatman,or anyone that can help im new at this i can spawn portals but thay r locked i looked on the udb website there are ppl with taxi and portal programs but i dont know where to put them if anyone can “dumb it down” for me ide be very thankfull with either problem thanx in advance
When I open the extract-map.bat file it shows this Error:
A subdirectory or file maps already exists.

Can someone help please.Thanks.
Release it Oatman, if you’re done.
ravensclaw = vern?
Hopefully someone can shed some light on my question. I’ve just had my hunter tame his first pet on reaper’s re-pack server, and when the pet is tamed it appears to change in size to less than half the usual size, so it looks like i’m now running around with a miniature lion. Is there any way to have the pet stay at the normal size when tamed, and where do you find the settings for this kind of thing.
Thanks.
@Oatman
2.4.3 just went live on the PTR’s last week, they are still testing it. The only thing that went live today was Season 4 for arena which is part of 2.4.2. So you should be ok on waiting for a while for a 2.4.3 update.
Hopefully UDB or PSDB will have new updates by the time 2.4.3 goes live
It’s all good. I can live without the new patch this time =)
-Dopey
Are you guys ready for an update for MaNGOS? See Patch 2.4.3 comes online in 1 hour and I am not sure that I will be able to support it because believe it or not there is alot of changes so I think my next release won’t be 2.4.3 unless UDB does some serious work on coding their database.
I’m so tired of waiting noooow….. please hurry ^^
im haveing trouble with portals i can spawn them in game but thay say locked and cant b used any1 have ant idea on how to unlock them i got the portal #s from wowhead thay work (all but the locked part)
