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!

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!

Hiya,
Throwing this out to anyone that can lend an idea or two.
I set up my WoW server over the weekend (locally 127…) and was able to get everything set up and running well (Ex: Made Account, created character, max’d her out ect.)
I ran myself through a few higher end instances in both classic and TBC instances and I noticed the bosses are unscripted. I had a similar issue with earlier release (WoW 2.2 I believe) where the mobs were auto-attacking and not casting. I’m up-to-date with the information on THIS page (Currently running 2.4.2 : Reaper Mangos 5953 SD2 414 with Unified DB) and it managed to allow mobs their scripts. Which is all fine and dandy that now mobs will pat, they will cast spells where required, and will properly aggro thanks to the working Vmaps.
However the issue comes back to the bosses not containing any scripting. No Voice emotes on pulls, nothing but auto-attacks, and for some places like Magister’s Terrace After the first boss is downed the door doesn’t open.
I check this forum regularly hoping someone else is having the same issue I am, and even though newer releases of WoW are out and more frequently viewed I’m rather content with playing Version 2.4.2, any help is greatly appreciated.
I’m sure its a simple matter of updating or re-running an installation step to ensure ALL scripting kicks in, So close to a perfect Reaper Server yet the most important element is unscripted.
Thanks Reaper fans!
If you have to do it, you might as well do it right

Hello all,
Alright for the people with issues about map errors there is A very easy fix for this problem. Look in you mangosd.config file for the following:
Expansion=1
change this to 0 and problem resolved.
later,
Martian
I want to say – thank you for this!
I have found out how to get past the ad.exe only getting to 41% causing the mangosd.exe to say it cant find 000341.map file…wherever your maps folder is go to it and copy a file(i did the closest one to that number, but it won’t matter) then paste it and change the name from “whateve.map” to “000431.map”.Some of the maps in game will be messed up somewhere, but if you want to play it theres the fix…you have to do it to like 7 more map files that it can’t find then start mangos and create character then log in…
that worked for me so I figured I would share it, i’m sorry if it doesn’t work and there will be those 7 maps showing the wrong places in the game somewhere but maybe its like a stupid cave somewhere.
Well I’m 15 so I figure I did pretty good for my age…now I have to get it to play online so me and my friend can play it so wish me luck.
ok i got through that but i cant make a character and it said character.character tables dont exist if anyone knows how to fix it let me know?
hey im stock on part 7 and cant get mangos sd or realmd to work it says cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;root;mangos;mangos
Lewis under your mangosd.conf file there will be DataDir = “.”
put “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft”
or wehrever ur wow files are :) had same problem for awhile
hey i have mangos 2.4.2 setup for lan, when i log in it will go into the realm select and when i click on mangos realm is dosen’t let me in just keeps kicking me out? anyone know how i can fix this, i’m sure its just some setting i didn’t get quite right, plz help.
Never mind. Realized I had the GM mode set to on while in-game. Setting it to off allowed for mob aggro.
All of the mobs are neutral and do not aggro, unless a hunter pet attacks them. Both in the world, and in instances. None of the defaults settings in mangosd.conf have been changed, other than the ones needed to get the server to run properly. Any ideas?

hey i don’w know if ne1 else was having problems with the ad.exe from the other releases but if you need a working one i have the .exe from 2.3.3 :P email me i don’t know where i can upload it to. it works on vista \”\-_-/”/
dawsonphilpot@yahoo.com
Can you help me? It keeps coming up saying that files are not in the right directories, when they are? (Maps)
Just got into this whole offline thing, tried to make a server, ended up with the “http://rapidshare.com/files/120427402/maps.part03.rar” up in the 2.4.2 maps being blocked by rapidshare. Im already playing with 3.0.2 in Blizz and I cant get any source where to get the 2.4.2 maps. Anyone point me to a “stable” server guide where ALL the resources can be accessed? Just a link or something then I’ll figure things out. Thanks much.
I’ve read the comments saying AHBOT is in this release, but something appears to be incorrect. I’ve played with Mangos for almost a year now although I quit for the last few months. I just built a new server and used this release to do a “New Install”. I had to manually input the AHBOT mangos.conf entries but when mangos loads up, all it does is:
Loading auctions…
Loading
It doesn’t do a progress bar and spends 0.000000001 of a second on it. I have like 100000 entries supposed to be listed in Alliance and Horde AH’s and 10000 in the Neutral but none appear. I’ve alerady put in the account number and GUID of the player and have those settings lit… Here’s what i got:
# Auction House Bot
AuctionHouseBot.Account = 5
AuctionHouseBot.GUID = 3
AuctionHouseBot.NoMail = 1
AuctionHouseBot.AllianceItems = 100000
AuctionHouseBot.HordeItems = 100000
AuctionHouseBot.NeutralItems = 10000
AuctionHouseBot.MinTime = 8
AuctionHouseBot.MaxTime = 24
AuctionHouseBot.PercentWhiteTradeGoods = 25
AuctionHouseBot.PercentGreenTradeGoods = 13
AuctionHouseBot.PercentBlueTradeGoods = 9
AuctionHouseBot.PercentPurpleTradeGoods = 1
AuctionHouseBot.PercentWhiteItems = 6
AuctionHouseBot.PercentGreenItems = 30
AuctionHouseBot.PercentBlueItems = 14
AuctionHouseBot.PercentPurpleItems = 2
AuctionHouseBot.MinPriceWhite = 150
AuctionHouseBot.MaxPriceWhite = 250
AuctionHouseBot.BidPriceWhite = 100
AuctionHouseBot.MaxStackWhite = 0
AuctionHouseBot.MinPriceGreen = 200
AuctionHouseBot.MaxPriceGreen = 300
AuctionHouseBot.BidPriceGreen = 100
AuctionHouseBot.MaxStackGreen = 3
AuctionHouseBot.MinPriceBlue = 250
AuctionHouseBot.MaxPriceBlue = 350
AuctionHouseBot.BidPriceBlue = 100
AuctionHouseBot.MaxStackBlue = 2
AuctionHouseBot.MinPricePurple = 300
AuctionHouseBot.MaxPricePurple = 450
AuctionHouseBot.BidPricePurple = 100
AuctionHouseBot.MaxStackPurple = 1
And yet, the AH never gets populated. I thought at one point i saw a comment from oatman that AHBOT got left out and it would be in the next release, but when i came back to search for it, I couldn’t find that post again.
keep getting this message can anybody help with this plz?

Hello everyone
I know this might be a stupid question but how do you let other people from around the world join your server? Do I have to create a website or something?
Thnx in advance.
hi there can anyone tell me how to install the custom vendors?
Hello guys. I am noob at this but I am really trying to learn. I followed these steps very carefully and got and did everything stated on the steps. maybe I am missing something. I dont really know what directory the extracted dbc and maps files are supposed to go in. But I have got the Mysql up and running as well as the realmd.exe and mangosd.exe start up with no problem.
My problem is that when I try to log in to the server I get the ‘connecting’ signal but then I get ‘unable to connect’. Maybe I am doing something wrong, can someone help me out to get this running?

This happened to me b4 on someone else’s server. Try deleting your WTF folder, that fixed it 4 me.
hi there maybe a stupid question
but where do i put the custom vendor file’s to instal tnx in advance
I have set everything up nicely, after 6 hours of grinding work the game runs smooth except for one minor problem – I have setbc username 1
and have expansions set at 1 in my mangos config, I do have burning c. installed however it does not allow me to go to those areas in game.
i’m having trouble using the realmd and mangosd files, how do you change the psw from yes to your password?
OK so when i boot up mangosd its saying that the maps file 0004331.map doesnt exist yet i can see it in the directory…
Nvm
I didnt know you had to reset the psw in the conf file from mangos to your own psw
thnx tho
