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)!
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):
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.

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.

I have removed the links until I can create a stable version, thanks to everyone (Bigger thanx to Summonence who worked harder to try and fix the error) who tried to help!
@SccS
Patch works perfect for broken “data” field in characters table.
TO ALL WITH CHARACTERS ISSUES, SEE COMMENT 132 by SccS. This resolves the data issues.
For other issues, make sure you’re using the correct columns (see posts related to dungeon_difficulty.
-Fate
rror in creature_template table, probably sql file format was updated (there should be 64 “fields in sql).”
I received this error after updating to UR1 from the last Reaper-X release :/ Any ideas?
Very nice job Colt.
I can’t wait to install it tomorrow.
i hope it doesnt overwrite my database again. lol.
if it does, oh well, cuz ill have EVERYTHING backed up!
Thanks again, great job!

I beg to differ Summonence, Rikiller that’s what I was referring to in my above post. The 6360_characters_characters.sql in the zip I uploaded fixes the old characters.
this is correct i applied the fix and still the same, then i ran the 6360_characters_characters.sql and now all working fine phew……
thanks IntErlOpr
Well I am having the same character issue! =/
Can someone please post the exact steps to getting the characters to show up again I can make a new one but it says the names are in use Here is a copy of my errors
CMSG_REALM_SPLIT

I guess should clarify that I didn’t change ALL the slashes in the whole file, just the ones in the line “DataDir =”

Mangos.exe prompt:
Check existing of map file: [sic](lol nice engrish btw)
“maps/000431.map not found.”
though I am staring right the file within the correct arcane-fire folder.
____________________________
I had this problem too. The solution was to change the slashes in the mangosd.conf file from “\” to “/”
i.e. my original – c:\reaper-x\arcane-fire\data – resulted in the missing map error. Once I changed it to c:/reaper-x/arcane-fire/data, it worked like a champ. Obviously, substitute your own path, just change the slashes and try it that way.

@ coz
characters
wow im a noob, guys what is the default character database name?
hey man. i had i problem with loading the mangos. it said i had a few files missing but i have no idea where i would be able to get them? please help
@colt
I’ll give it another shot (this will be attempt number 3) just to verify, but I am going to assume at this point that the files in my wow install dir have been corrupted based on what I’ve seen thus far.
I’ll just have to repatch it up and see how it goes should I get the same error. Thanks for the help
@colt45 Is the newer stable version with UDB 357 going to be upgradable from 6245?
Hey,
I had a problem with the characters not showing, applied the fix and now I have a similar problem, just with a different error message.
SQL ERROR: Unknown column ‘taxi_path’ in ‘field list’
I’ve searched the net but can’t find anything that would help… Any ideas?
Thanks.
oh nvm..thx bav and cold =)
oh ok.. its supposed to make them together to a file whit name of DBC’s & maps..? got that one now. to inside it is only maps..:(?
@MMssda
heya bud, dont need to download the DBC its easier to get it yourself, get ad.exe from Arcane-Fire\Extraction Tools\DBC’s & Maps and copy it into the root of your wow folder (of course making sure its 2.4.3!) then make 2 folders, maps and dbc open a dos prompt change to the wow folder and type the following,
ad -e 2 hit enter and it’ll extract the dbc files and all you have to do is copy the folder to where the maps and vmaps are and it should run ok.
Guys, thanks alot for all your hard work in getting all the kinks worked outof this release, if i wore a hat i’d take it off to ya’s all!
Also im working on a more stable version now, but it will be UDB 357! Sorry!
….. dude…. the ad.exe extract both your maps and dbcs…. You may have this problem because either the extractor didnt find the file, when copying to your arcane-fire folder it missed that file, or your WoW directory has a corrupt file.
please make download link for folder and the stuff in it; DBC :) isnt included in my download, thanks, keep good work up :)
i hawe same prob as wgear,

Thanks.. now i got one more problem then im done.. =)when i open mangosd says check existing of map file not existist! etc etc?
Is the Character problem fixed now, sorry im pushy, Please respond = ]
hi i feel like an idiot whatever i try crashes.
first i couldn’t extract vmaps it just dosen’t work.then batch file at fresh install didn’t work. i checked mysql no mangos database.
what can i do i tried different versions is it vista? please help
hi i am totally new at this and way over my head.when i run batch file at the fresh- install it says system can’t find the file then installation complete but when i try to run mangosd it says unknown database mangos
what can i do please help
Hmmm.. no luck with anything really.
All I can suggest at the moment, is if you run a server with WWW connection – Don’t upgrade yet!
After about a million different fix attempts, I’ve rolled back to 2.4.2 until a stable release is put out.
Thanks.
Gheeez! One problem after another. I got to the point where I got my character made but when I try to enter the world everything freezes to the leading screen and the loading bar is not moving at all, so its not loaing any files. How can I fix this?
I beg to differ Summonence, Rikiller that’s what I was referring to in my above post. The 6360_characters_characters.sql in the zip I uploaded fixes the old characters.
@Heaight
Yeah that worked to make new characters… .
Here’s the SQL:
TRUNCATE `character_instance`;
TRUNCATE `instance`;
ALTER TABLE `character_instance`
DROP KEY `leader`,
DROP PRIMARY KEY,
ADD PRIMARY KEY `guid` (`guid`,`instance`),
DROP COLUMN `map`,
DROP COLUMN `leader`,
MODIFY COLUMN `instance` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
ADD COLUMN `permanent` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0';
ALTER TABLE `instance`
ADD COLUMN `difficulty` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0' AFTER `resettime`;
CREATE TABLE `group_instance` (
`leaderGuid` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`instance` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`permanent` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`leaderGuid`,`instance`),
KEY `instance` (`instance`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
CREATE TABLE `instance_reset` (
`mapid` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`resettime` bigint(40) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`mapid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
ALTER TABLE `groups`
ADD COLUMN `difficulty` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0' AFTER `isRaid`;
ALTER TABLE `characters`
ADD COLUMN `dungeon_difficulty` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER `map`;
BUT… there seems to be something wrong with the ‘data’ column. The server is reporting that eg:
ERROR: Player #2 have broken data in 'data' field. Can't be loaded.
I setup a few mangos installs in the past few months solely using this website, I did look at compiling my own a few times. Today, motivated me to compile my own mangos.
I had no issues extracting on a fresh DB, using Arcane-Fire. Everything went smooth until I created my 1st character it didn’t show up after I created it.
So I learned to compile my own today. I came across a possible answer to this issue fresh install character creation problem. It was mentioned in the UDB forums that 358_corepatch_characters_6241_to_6346.sql
is not compatible with MaNGOS Rev. 6382
Since I was in the middle of compiling everything and getting my database up and running I had already d/l 6362_characters.sql as the lateset character svn being used. I finally got everything running w/o a problem.
I have not tried to use Arcane-Fire again and make the change on the character.sql file in the DB yet.
wow, your great man =] i have been waiting for this! thanks very much! and GREAT job :D
Can someone advice me how I set up the database to mysql correctly? I think that is the reason why I can’t get it to work.. I’ve tried to look up posts in the site to find instuctions but I haven’t found them. Or I just didn’t “get it”..
No guys the version thats downloadable has already been tested, and it works, Backup, upgrading and fresh-install. No worries for anyo of you for this. It’s already patched.
IntErlOpr! I tested, and works. :D
I *think* that all you’d have to do it run the 6360_characters_characters.sql patch if you’ve added the dungeon_difficulty column and it would work. Unable to test due to accidentally deleting my 6245 DB and I don’t have the time to re-install right now. Reap, oat or Colt you’d already have it if you’ve downloaded the mangos SVN release.
I don’t know why it works, no time to check anything, just wanted it out there ASAP
This is how I got it working from a character dump using 6245 unsure if a backup would work:
This is the part in the char dump you need to go to:
‘CharNameHere’, ‘1′, ‘8′, ‘26.9513′, ‘4288.28′, ‘90.1167′, ‘530′, ”,
Search for your char name, The last part after 530 (the map no) is blank, change it to ‘0′. So it’s the 7th piece of data after your character name. That’s the dungeon_difficulty column.
Go into your MySQL\data\characters directory and delete everything (BACKUP FIRST). Run the characters.sql file included in the zip I link to down the bottom to recreate it. Load your character dump using the loadpdump option in Mangos Server. Then run the 6360 sql patch also included in the zip and it works fine.
Don’t forget to back-up blah blah blah, sorry it’s messy and probably confusing but it works for me anyway.

Yes sorry there was a release, its not our fault they weren’t working. I worked hard on this today, to figure out make sure its working stable enough to host your players. Working on fixing other issues in the next day or so.
Thanks for the update and appreciate the extra work. Better to have it just right then not.
Also if you run a public server I DO NOT reccommend updating yet! It seems there have been alot of errors, but help reporting them so we can fix them helps!
Also if you already downloaded it you can try the UBD Fix 1 link at the top of the post (the fix may be just a flash and then gone but if it doesnt work then use Navicat to apply FIRST the fix_part1.sql file then the fix_part2.sql file!
Im about to update the links to the fixed (not %100) but to where u can make, see, and delete your characters!
