IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY APPLIED ARCANE-FIRE THEN DO NOT!!! MAJOR BUG AND WE ARE WORKING OUR BUTTS OFF TO MAKE A STABLE VERSION!!!
Here it is! The Reaper-X customized MaNGOS release UR1 "Arcane-Fire" is now available. UR1 is also a raw copy and if you look below you will find that we will be adding updates as we go! A changelog and what revs Arcane-Fire uses! Also note that Arcane-Fire no longer supports PSDB (sorry for anyone who uses it)!
- —MaNGOS Rev. 6382
- ———UDB Rev. 358
- -ScriptDev2 Rev. 512
- ——–ACID Rev. 18
UR1 DOESN’T HAVE MANY OF THE EXTRA FEATURES THAT WE SAID WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SO BELOW THIS WILL BE LINKS TO NEW FEATURES AND UPDATES THAT WE DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO ADD IN THE FULL RELEASE (WHEN DOWNLOADING THE UPDATES PLEASE READ THE DARN README FILES):
- none
- None
- None
SET UP:
Step 1: Install MySQL using the guide here >>> (MySQL Installation and Configuration)
NOTE: You can get either MySQL 5.0 or 5.1 (It does NOT matter).
Step 2: Download Reaper-X UR1 "Arcane-Fire" (below are list of mirror to file). File have been compressed! These have been updated with UDB Fix 1!
1. No Download
2. No Download
3. No Download
GM COMMAND LIST:
Updated GM Command List for this version
Fresh Install:
Important Note : Fresh installation will overwrite your database!!!
Pictures in this guide have NOT been updated (sorry again)!!!
1. Make sure you have MySQL (5.0 or 5.1) installed and configured correctly on your computer.
2. Extracting Maps, DBC and VMaps from your World of Warcraft installation
YOU NEED TO EXTRACT FOR 2.4.3!!!
3. Run the Arcane-Fire.bat inside the Fresh Install 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 !
Upgrading from 6245 Release:
1. Make sure to RE-EXTRACT your DBC’s, Maps, and VMaps, because this release now supports 2.4.3!
2. Go into your WoW Reaper Server Directory, and open Reaper-X-MaNGOS.
3. Open the Folder called “Upgrade” and run Upgrade-2-UR1.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 and run the batch file called Arcane-Fire.bat, 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 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 ROOT;PASSWORD 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 is a guide to make your server public! Public Setup Guide!
Next open scriptdev2.conf and realmd.conf and edit the info for them to connect to your database as well.

Ok the fix works for making new characters but i get errors from the data section on all previously made characters. I tried upgrade and then full install with the Summonence fix and still all my players chars will not load any adivice for importing them back into the database succesfully would be appreciated.
Colt help me please, im having a problem, when i make a character, it doesnt show up on the Character selection screen, can you help me out?
upgrade/fresh install both work if u do the file move after you’re done
the dll & character file
Also many thanks to Colt45 and Oatman. Good Job well done.
Is everyone having problems with upgrading? I don’t want to make the push to upgrade if this is a problem for most people. BTW been using Reaper team packs for a while now almost the beginning and am very very pleased with the results. No problems at all thus far :)
@me.com !?!?!?!
@Colt45
I have a better option for you, please email me rikiller@me.com for details…
@Rikiller
Yes I believe so, but it would be very tricky tho (like in the above post) if I were to use LMI I could probably do it.
Alright it looks like ALOT of people are having some serious issues that are hard to explain, so if you would like I can use LogMeIn (Oatman used to use this method for me before I joined the team!)! LogMeIn is a free download that allows someone else with your password and autentication key (that you create) to access your computer! http://www.LogMeIn.com is the website, and if you want me to help fix any errors you may have e-mail me at Colt45-Musick@hotmail.com after you created your LogMeIn account and downloaded LogMeIn!
I use navicat to modify my database
not sure how u do that modify to be able to import my old characters..any one else use navicat can help?
thanks
Hey guys, good job :-D
seems to work well, havn’t had any complaints yet anyway ;-)
I do have a question though, even though i can create new chars etc i’m still getting that huge long list of errors regarding the instance cleanup when i start the server off, is that nothing to worry about?
Out of curiosity, if I were to do a fresh install rather than an upgrade, is it possible to import backed up characters and accounts into the database so that nothing is lost?
no it didnt
@Rikiller
Did it work tho?
@ Summonence, I added the first sql update:
ALTER TABLE characters ADD COLUMN dungeon_difficulty TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER map;and as I read on, it should have been:
ALTER TABLE `characters` ADD `dungeon_difficulty` CHAR(50) NULL AFTER `map`Of course I can’t change that now, so what next?
did your upgrade work?
The backup files are listed in the Arcane-Fire-Backup directory
I did an upgrade…
Alright has anyone used the update batch? If so have you had any errors and go here: C:\Arcane-Fire-Backup and tell me if you have all your backup files in there!
nice job as usual but any news on the WotLK or if reaper, jared your you colt have a server test for WotLK i’de like to test it out please.
@Summonence or Colt45
Not a big deal, just an fyi. I am able to create characters, but it won’t let me delete one. It goes through the steps, making me spell out “delete,” but the character isn’t removed. I know I can do it from the MaNGOSD.exe command prompt, just wanted to pass it on.
@Summonence
Ty, that Char.log got me working.
@MMssda
Make sure you run the Arcane-Fire.bat inside the Fresh install folder.
@MMssda
Got anything that might be blocking port 3306 even internally?
Not sure if they like brand names here, so think antivirus and internet security programs.
please try help..if i get a 2.4.3 mangos private working i can donate 20 euro or just thank.. anything, thanks
oh and yes i installed mysql
im getting some instance reset errors and mail errors and i aloso cant import old characters it says broken data any help please
what didnt i install?.. i did fresh install.. sry being newb but.. oh well every one learns ;)
Only other thing i can think of you didn’t install them.
mangosd keeps saying cloud not connect to mysql database at 127.0.0.1: unknown database ‘mangos’
cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;root;lol123;mangos … something i do wrong?
thanks.. hmm..i do it and it says like 50 times it doesnt detect mysql something and then installition complete! and..? :S
i downloaded the characters.zip and did what the other guy said it works fine now, just couldn’t import my saved characters had to start new
It’s in the Fresh-install folder its called. Arcane-Fire.bat
um what is this fresh install where i get it ;S dont find one ;/
@ JaJa
Did you try this out, and is it working for you now?
Sorry yes the line is
ALTER TABLE `characters` ADD `dungeon_difficulty` CHAR(50) NULL AFTER `map`
In any SQL program
@ Nilrem
Thanks buddy, for the nice comment.
Ok everyone that is trying to still keep his current characters for players etc. Load up your favorite SQL modifying program. I use sqlYOG. Now when your in there connect to the server using your username and password. Load your characters database, in the Queue. Type in
ALTER TABLE characters ADD COLUMN dungeon_difficulty TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0′ AFTER map;
(thanks Nilrem, i didn’t feel like typing that until you wrote it in there)
This is insert the column needed for the users to view there characters and make new ones. After this please check to make sure all characters have 0 in that column before you start up the server. Disconnect and start the server. Test it please tell me if this works.
:) Good testings
- Summonence
That will fix the error when creating a toon.
Run this with the character table open in HeidiSQL
ALTER TABLE `characters` ADD `dungeon_difficulty` CHAR(50) NULL AFTER `map`
I seem to be having trouble getting to that so… if you just want a fix for the character thing to get in the game knowing that something better is coming, try:
C:>mysql -u root -p -D characters
mysql>ALTER TABLE characters ADD COLUMN dungeon_difficulty TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0′ AFTER map;
Huge thanks to these guys for the hard work!
@MMssda
Are you certain you installed the database with the new repack? run Fresh-install with the bat, in Fresh-Install?
@ Everyone that is getting errors
For those that are getting the errors from trying to create/or view characters. Did you happen to run a fresh-install or did you do a upgrade function from the last repack?
edit to my lazy comment, it says cloud not connect to mysql database at 127.0.0.1: unknown database mangos
cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;root;lol123;mangos
Yes the file above fixed by Summonence is the correct one!
Sorry i missed something, thats a zip file you need to extract the characters.sql out of that file.
Ok for while you all wait, please download this:
http://filebeam.com/27083027d07c5c2875c4001da2808600
that file i would like everyone to put into the fresh-install. There you can just overwrite the one in there, and if you run the fresh-install from the bat to install the server. It will allow you to play the game, while we fix the other issues.
@ mmssda
Your probably not setting up your Realmd, Scriptdev2, and/or Mangosd config files up correctly. Make sure you manually put in your database name and password on them. It tells you what to put at the very bottom of the discription on this page.
Do you have your mangos.conf and realmd.conf setup to connect to your database, look at your last step on the instructions above.
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”
on the mangos.conf file that’s where i got that from the PASSWORD means your password for your MySQL database.
Hello, i just got a prob whit this.. when i open realmd or mangosd says unable to connect 127.0.0.1 etc ? ? ?? ty for help
MUST… HAVE… REPACK….! NEED… WOW!
That i haven’t tested yet. If you are doing the Fresh-Install of the UDB, that is causing issues. But it seems if you do the upgrade from another version of the repack/UDB it’s working.
@Summonence
Will the .mod mount command work better in this repack or should we just stick to .aura?
