Hello everyone! Its Colt45! I am glad to announce that MaNGOS Rev 6245 has been release (finally)! I am terribly sorry to inform you that I do not have a list of new feature that have been added to this release, but I should have a complete one for the next release. So here is the guide:
THIS GUIDE HAS BEEN BASED OFF OF OATMAN’S LAST GUIDE, PLEASE GIVE THE CREDIT TO HIM FOR THE GUIDE!!!
Step 1: Install MySQL using the guide here >>> (MySQL Installation and Configuration)
NOTE: It does NOTmatter which verion of MySQL you get (either 5.0 or 5.1) as long as you do not get any older versions or beta versions!
Step 2: Update your DBC’s, VMAP’s, and MAPS for 2.4.2!
If you already have your DBC’s, Vmaps’s, and Maps from a previous release that uses client 2.4.2 then you DO NOT have to re-extract them. If not then you must follow the Readme.txt files located in the extraction folders.
Step 3: Download Reaper-X-MaNGOS (below are list of mirror to file).
Links updated to the recompressed version (19.49MB) that use 7zip self extracting archive instead of zip compressed file
2.4.2 Maps:
Vmaps from WoW 2.4.2:
Thanks to Davtex for uploading the maps and vmaps files
These files should still be compatible with this release
Custom Vendors Pack for this version
http://filebeam.com/a516a6d8281b96e506df995716381a02
Credits to Firane for creating the Custom Vendors Pack
Updated GM Command List for this version
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
Note: ad.exe included in this version will extract the dbc files and maps files, and so all you have to do is just put the ad.exe into your wow installation directory (for example, C:\program files\World of Warcraft) and run the ad.exe from there. But make sure to delete the maps and dbc directory if exist before running the ad.exe
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 Bin Image

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.
MaNGOS Batch Menu Image

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
Mangos.exe Image

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 :)
Upgrading from 5953 Release:
1. This release still supports your 2.4.2 DBC’s, Maps, and Vmaps, so if you want to re-extract you may but I dont think there is much need.
2. Go into your WoW Reaper Server Directory, and open reaper-eazy-mangos.
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. (Default is C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin)
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”
In this release your DataDir is pre-set to C:\Reaper_MaNGOS_6245_SD2_474\Data which means that if you extract the folder directly to your C Drive then you will not need to configure your DataDir, but you will still need to set your ROOT and PASSWORDS as shown below!
This is an example of what 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 MANGOS;MANGOS to your root DB name, likey it’s just root, and YOUR database (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.

@iotech
Awesome job pulling together those changelogs. REALLY appreciate it!
Hi colt45 thanks for the reply i switched to GM mode and suddenly the invisible Creature Goes Missing btw im using the GB version of WOW any clue as to whats happening thanx
First of all HOLY JIMOLE (had to use a more apropriete word :P) I leave for 12 hrs and like 10 diferant people have errors! I hope I can answer them all!!!
@Chris
Its is just a pack like custom vendors but with custom items, and attackable monsters instead.
@Gazeroth
Some anti-viruses are a little jumpy, it is most likely because mangosd.exe connects with other players, so Anti-Virus may pick it up as a potential threat, tho it is not!
@DSH
Glad you got everything fixed!
@Shadox
I am waiting for a UDB update before I release the next one, but as for the random dieing… I would type .gm on (makes you un attackable) and try to see what is attacking you tho i have never heard anybody else have this problem!
@Glock
I do not believe this is possible yet, tho you might wanna google it and see if other people have figured it out.
@Allykiller $ Matt
Yes 2.4.3 is out. We are aware of that but mangos doesnt support that patch yet, so for the time being do what Bav101 told you.
@Nixname
Ive have never heard of this problem, but if this error happened in both of the releases you tried then it is something with your computer most likely and I cannot really help much.
i’ve been having a problem with the server i made on lan. whenever a character enters a certain area(durotar, a little under orgrimmar, don’t remember the name) the game crashes, and the player can no longer use that character(will log in and crash again). what could cause this? i’ve had this problem in 5953 version and now in 6245…
@chris
lol I get impatient. So many posts to sort through!
Like Allykiller, I’m having a version problem when trying to connect to my private server after updating WoW to 2.4.3. I’m given the following message:
“Unable to validate game version. This may be caused by a file corruption of the interference of another program. Please visit http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleid=21370 for more information and possible solutions to this”
Just giving you more information so the next version can be as problem free as possible. Thanks guys.
@allykiller
heya, what i tell all my guys to do is to make seperate copies of there wow folder to be able to log into the server, basically once it patches up you cant log in (as you’ve noticed) my best advice is if you make a copy of your wow folder and try to uninstall the 2.4.3 patch, i’ll admit i’m a lil hazy as to whether you can do this, or the hard way, reinstall from scratch in a new folder and patch from one of the links on wowwiki up to 2.4.2 and hey presto bobs your aunt and martha’s your uncle jobs done!
unless anyone else has a better way?
Hey guys, and thanks for all of your hard work. Blizzard has released version 2.4.3 that is no longer working with my Reaper-x Mangos server 5953, so I upgraded to version 6245 Mangos… Still no luck on connecting to the server now from the client. I keep getting errors on the client that says I have a version problem go see WOW’s FAQ’s on the problem. Do you guys plan on making a release that is compatible with Blizz’s 2.4.3 ??? Thanks again!
@89 easy as pie m8.. but u will have to make a custom launcher. if you edit the launcher.exe file with a hex editor. and search for
0007ff55h: 68 74 74 70 3A 2F 2F 6C 61 75 6E 63 68 65 72 2E ; http://launcher.
0007ff65h: 77 6F 77 2D 65 75 72 6F 70 65 2E 63 6F 6D 2F 65 ; wow-europe.com/e
0007ff75h: 6E 2F 00 ; n/.
and edit it as you see fit. if your address is longer your screwed, if its shorter just use 00 at the end. ie…
0007ff55h: 68 74 74 70 3A 2F 2F 6C 61 75 6E 63 68 65 72 2E ; http://launcher.
0007ff65h: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ; ................
0007ff75h: 00 00 00 ; ...
Hi guys,
Well done Colt good job buddy!
i’ve got a couple of things i need help with if thats ok?
firstly, i think i have a error in the code, but i wanna bounce some ideas if thats ok? when i ran the upgrade from the previous revision i had a couple of errors and it ceased half way through, no problem did a fresh install all good, (i think its cuz i let my players have custom items etc i dont think the update liked those) anyway all was working, but i exported some data from the old install (which i think is whats caused this problem) the data i exported was things like the account info etc because i didn’t want to reset up the accounts for everyone.
Now my problem is this, whenever anyone creates a shaman a dreary or Tauren they seem to think they are a totem, they keep repeated casting and it wont stop even if the toon dies, once the command is used .learn all_myclass thats it they keep casting over and over, would it be an idea just to delete the database and start again or is there a quick fix ie a value change i can do in one of the tables?
also what tables would i need to export to save the players account and toon data? (it was what i tried b4 and seemed to screw up?
many thanks
:)
PS @BigMarky i did notice in magisters that the doors show a cog and will open if you switch into GM mode, so they can be opened that way, not sure how to fix it though, but they will open. ;-)
Hi Guys, Nice work, but….
looks like some of the spells are busted ant ideas as to why?.
for ex, .learn all and learn all_gm both report all spells busted and not allowed to learn.
thanks.
I was wondering, how can we send custom news to be broadcast on the login page on the client? It has to be sent server side so perhaps someone has figured this out. Would be a handy way to announce things not unlike b!izz. Thanks in advance and please, keep up the good work guys.
Hi again k something Weird is going on with my Server nw i did a fresh install of R6425 just for testing nw when i make a new blodd elf char and head to where the trainers are sumtin invisible just kills me Colt45 What gives dude ?
Hi Colt45 nice work just curious though, when will ur next release be out ? Thanx
yea this is normal .. i asked too if you looked up! lol
I apologize for wasting your time, I managed to get it fixed. I just needed to fix the name of the main file again. ^^; Whoops.
mangos>mangosd process priority class set to HIGHGrid [35,34] on map 566 moved to IDLE state
Grid[36,34] on map 566 moved to IDLE state
mangosd.exe tells me this once I get the list of commands. Is this normal? I never saw it on the other versions that I used.
DataDir = “C:\Reaper_MaNGOS_6245_SD2_474\Data\”
Why is it when I scanned Mangos.exe, it said it was a Trojan?
Colt45 what do you mean in your reaper-x-mangos with “your pack with boss and items ?” (opties 8)
@DSH
Tell me what exactly is your DataDir set to.
@Ace
Try connecting to MySQL by typing mysql -u root -p into your cmd prompt, and entering your password.
that was hard work! ^^ hehe
@ everyone

Make a Map in your servermap like this
C:\server is the normal map and make in it Data.
C:\server\Data
Go to your Mangosd CONF and change it to this.
RealmID = 1
DataDir = “data”
LogsDir = “./Logs/”
LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;mangos;realmd”
WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;mangos;mangos”
CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;mangos;characters”
MaxPingTime = 30
WorldServerPort = 8085
BindIP = “0.0.0.0″
And change mangos,if you use a other password
“127.0.0.1;3306;root;this->mangos<-this;characters”
Okay then start up Mangos.exe / bat of whatever.
and it will work with some error ;D but if you dont wanna have some error!!
Go to UDBforum and Releases 10.3 Kite Dragon, download it and set it this udb in (YOUR MANGOS SQL )with your sqlyog or navicat lite then start it up agian and NO ERROR!.
Greetz Chris — btw im starting a WOW Wrath of the Lich King Server up so.. if someone wanna join ?
Okay ThanQyou Colt45 ,,I thought it was a wierd error or something xD
Hey how come everytime i try to start up the server it says cannot connect to database?

This is what I manage to get when I run the mangosd.exe. I know I have my files in the correct folder, I’ve tried to check and double check the mangosd.conf file, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Any advice?
@Chris
That is nothing (no error completly normal) it just means that it set your CPU to run mangos as a priority.
, allowing it to run faster
@EVERYBODY
Yes there are some bugs, glitches, and I am sorry but I also cannot fix these, like I said this is all up to the UDB team to fix.
another bug for now…. anytime a mob runs in fear (ie. running low on HP) instead of just running away in fear – he casts “fear” on himself like the priest spell
couple that with most world mobs running thru the ground (i know first release is always buggy)
its just kinda funny
they usually go die somewhere where i can’t loot em
backing up and restoring after a clean install did not work well. I got to start mangos with errors.
In my pally, the quest Tome of Valor where u fight for Daphne Steelwell does not work. I will start over i guess, with clean install.
Tried the update from 5953 then got this error when mangosd was run:
Loading Creature templates…
Error in creature_template table, probably sql file format was updated (there should be 64 fields in sql).
I guess the update doesnt work or my db was already corrupted.
Trying to full install now and restore chars later.
Oatman, Colt45, Reaper-X
I have a question ??
What is ; Mangos Process priority class set to HIGHgrid [35,34]on map 566 moved to IDLE State ?
greetz Chris
One question:
I have been using these releases a long time now (since november 2007) and i ve been upgrading most of the time, lost my chars once or twice mostly by my own fault.
I have been really careful for the last upgrades and i haven’t really lost anything except one char getting stuck in the blacksmithing quests chain so i had to reset it.
This is the question, I am using the auction bot and i m really fond of it. If I upgrade to this release from 5953 will the auction bot char be lost for good? Will it be retained in the database for the next release (when u say it will be included)? Or will i get a corrupted database then?
One remark as well:
I really appreciate your work guys but maybe you should decide on a fixed set of features (database, extra stuff) and do upgrades when those are available. I mean i haven’t gone public with my server and still i ve put a lot of work in some of the chars i got, i hate to lose them once in a while so i like a steady environment
Keep up the good work, seems the team is expanding (reaper-x, oatman, colt45)
Haai Colt45
download UDB 10.3 from udbforum and set it manualy in navicat or sqlyog, then you have no error’s
@Jcota
Hey do you know C++? If you do send me and e-mail at Colt45-Musick@hotmail.com!
@Marco
There are many problems concerning the UDB, but I really cant fix it, but you can go to http://www.wowhead.com and lookup the npcs there.
Hi agian um just wanted to know what mobs are supposed to be in Mount Hyjal so i can add them or if there are supposed to be mobs i dunno really. Thank You
Ok, so I upgraded to the newest version but whenever I try to run mangosd.exe it comes up with a bunch of errors. First is the item error
Item (Entry #) not correct 21 inventory type, must be 13 (still using DB value)
Then there is a creature template error.
Error in creature_template table, probably sql file format was updated (there should be 64 fields in sql).
Any help would be apreciated, thanks :)
Ok so I try to run my mangosd.exe and… it says there is an error with the creature sql. It says it might have been updated or something. It says it should have 64 fields in sql. And like none of the items are working it says not correct 21 inventory type, must be 13 (Still using DB value)
how does the AH bot function in the programming function? maybe I can give you a hand with the coding for it… drop me a line. never have bothered to look at the code for all of this… i dislike very strongly compiling somethings. :)
ok odd glitch cant get any class quests??? any ideas on why this might happen i tried a clean wipe and reinstalled anyone else having this issue?
wow this is strange but i upgraded to this from the former ver. i backed up my database did the upgrade reinstalled the character realm and world and when i try to start up the server it gets stuck at the creatures saying theres sumthing wrong with the sql missing 63 lines does im guessing ill have to get the dbc files dled to fix havent tryed that yet cause i dont want to losse my venders items and all that can any1 give me an idea on how to fix
thanx
@Oatman
Thanks for support!
@mhs2011
Yes I DO understand how you feel (i too have lost things on my private server in past times) but I hope you forgive me and thanks for the apology.
@Marco and Bigmarky
Thanks again!
@Russel Castro
Yes for everyone who has ahd problems with commands, I have posted a new up to date list of commands from MaNGOS Project
@Insane
I cannot fix the season 4 vendors, that is for the UDB team to add.
so i take it no one is going to help me out on the season 4 arena vendor thing? oh well
the GM command to fly is
.gm fly on
or
.gm fly off
oh to hop on the ‘thank you’ bandwagon
around late s2, i was a full fledged addict and then one day i installed the private server (no idea how ppl have problems the instructions are always crystal)
and i realised how stupid real wow is…
grind 10hrs of honor
or .additem
thanks for your programming sk33lz
PS i love all of ur guids they are the best, most clear, understandable guids ever!
@Reaper Team
I have been using the reaper mangos for sum time now and i dont think i have ever spoken up about anything. So i just decided id like to say that u guys are the greatest… the best .. super .. i really gotta give u guys ur props. Thank u guys so much i really appreiciate all the hard work and dedication u guys put in to each and every release. Thanks U.
Yes, ur right oatman.
im sorry if i flamed a little there. lol.
but yes, you did do a great job, just make sure u fix that, lol.
thanks anyway!
#mhs2011
Yea give him a break though :P
It was his first release we all make mistakes at one point or another. Well he learned by the mistake and it should be fixed in the next release as well. I still say he did excellent for his first time.
@Bigmarky
I added a full post with a updated command list!
@mhs2011 / everyone else who has this problem
look I am sorry. Just re-do your work and in the next release I promise it won’t happen again and I will add a fully loaded DB backup system so if it does mess up something, you can just drop the DB manualy and restore your DB!
@colt45
Oh i know exactly why this happenned, you guys used the full udb core, which says this.
“*/;
–
– Table structure for table `areatrigger_involvedrelation`
–
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `areatrigger_involvedrelation`;
CREATE TABLE `areatrigger_involvedrelation`”
and it says that for EVERY table.
thank you anyway, but w/e.
i thought updates werent supposed over write, but, i guess not…
i couldnt find the GM code to fly anymore?
i know u can use the .aura to just mount anywhere
but how do u change the mount speed ..?
just more of a GM code question
