Oatmans’ Wrath of the Lich King Release! Revision:1
By Oatman on Aug 17, 2008 in MMORPG, Reaper Mangos, Reaper Mangos Mod
Well its finally here! Sorry that it took me about two months to finally get around to making it but our first Wrath of the Lich King Server is now here and supports Revision: 8788 of the WotLK Beta Client! This release operates on top of the MaNGOS Kernel using the UDB Database. With about 3,585 lines of code added into the MaNGOS Core Wrath of the Lich King is now officially supported into the Reaper-X Family and Discussion Board!
Download Link / Mirror:
Installation Instruction:
1. Run Oatmans' WotLK Installer.bat from Oatman’s WotLK Database directory and continue with the installation until finished
2. Edit Mangosd.conf and Realmd.conf especially at below parts to point to the correct database name using your mysql password and username:
Note:
– Replace wotlk_usr to your mysql username
– Replace mangos to your mysql password
– Replace wotlk_realmd, wotlk_world, wotlk_characters to point to the correct database name that is used on the installation process
– Replace Datadir to the full path of your extracted DBC files and maps files from WOTLK (if you put the dbc directory and maps in the same directory of mangos, then there’s no need for you to change it)
Mangosd.conf
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;wotlk_usr;mangos;wotlk_realmd"
WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;wotlk_usr;mangos;wotlk_world"
CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;wotlk_usr;mangos;wotlk_characters"
DataDir = "."
Realmd.conf
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;wotlk_usr;mangos;wotlk_realmd"
Other Notes (thanks to LoLz Guy):
#1 To run mangos.exe you have to edit mangos.conf and delete some spaces (if there are too many) or other things that dont fit there...
#2 To make your databases work you have to use a mysql gui program (like navicat or sqlyog) and execute batch files to characters and realmd tabs.
#3 To make a Death Knight you have to manually edit the database (using navicat sqlyog or sometjing like that) and in the realmd in account table change your accounts "tbc" thingie from 0 to 2 or from 1 to 2 (I couldn't do it in mangos.exe commands, as it was blocked or something).
BTW the Death Knight class starts at the race start place, has no abilities, and there is NO WOTLK CONTENT AT ALL...
Important Note from Oatman:
Currently this repack doesn’t have any NPC's on Northrend although he (Oatman) said that he’ll add NPC’s later on the next revision (Revision 2) and probably some other things as well :) … and as he said before on the comment area, he is currently busy with various things as well and so he sent me the download link yesterday via email

#DMP
Arcane fire will continue to be supported. There will also be an option to upgrade arcane fire to my Wrath of the Lich King Releases.
Very cool !!!!! ty for reply,I am happy:)
Hey i've got a problem...
Where do I download WOTLK client that would work with this repack??
Hey i've got a problem...
Where do I download WOTLK client that would work with this repack?? A torrent link would be useful...
Great news! Looking forward to both this and the proposed TBC/"Blizzlike" server release(s).
Sorry if this the the wrong spot to be asking, but what is "arcane-fire" compared to your other releases?
Hella lookin forward to it ladz!
@Brixil
Its like a code name. Same thing new release name.
Cant wait!
Cant wait for it
I've already d/l the Lich King installer :D
Where can I find a Download for Wrath of the Lich King?
I have one problem, I found the lich king downloader, but the patching process stops at 8770 and I don't know how to get to 8788. If anyone can find that it would be greatly appreciated if they can share.
Thanks
Flanzo
Oatman a few questions:
Working Runic power?
Working Spells for every calss?
and most importantly, mobs/quests in northrend?
I think that there should be some links to the client and necessary patches download... Best if they were torrent downloads, but rapidshare or something would be good too.
If anyone reads this and posts a link, i'vs got a big "THANK YOU!!" to say to you...
kinda weird post, don't ya think?? :P
been dying to mess with titans grip with wotlk weapons
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downloads/clients/pc/beta/WotLK-Beta-3.0.1-enUS-downloader.exe
i downloaded the beta client from here about 2-3 weeks ago...its a direct link to the download 1.88 GB and the install won't affect your retail WoW its a whole separate folder a little over 9 gigs
when u download it and install it, make a new folder on the drive that you want it on called WotLK Beta and install it there
how soon though?
Hope this is cool that I post this here. I see people are asking for the 8788 build, so here's the link for the torrent. Cheers.
http://wotlkwiki.info/WoW-3.0.1.8770-to-3.0.1.8788-enUS-downloader.torrent
This may not show up in black, but it is really me (Colt45).
AWESOME JOB OATMAN!!! Looks promising, and I like the upgrading from Arcane-Fire part!
woot!!! ::Cheers @ Oatman::
@Flanzo and all others, http://www.wotlkwiki.info has a torrent of the patch to 8788, and warning... its over 100mb so i would get started on that lol
remember that old mervin's commercial with the crazy white mom
open...open..open...open..open...open..open...open..open...open..open...open
while she's waiting outside for it to open pressed against the window
Remember guys when I release revision one its going to be buggy. Although, after a couple of revisions it should become pretty stable.
Awesome, you guys rock!
But I do have a question.
Will this be able to be upgraded from the 5953 release and not lose Character data? Or will this need to upgraded in steps. And if so, what would be the best way?
I downloaded the beta about 2 weeks ago just incase you were able to complete the release.
And you never disappoint.
Thank You for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
About how long are we looking at for a release ? Revision one bugs are good :) i like testing and fixing bugs
Also Thanks a bunch for a release like this
WOOT
ive been waiting for this
cuz i have this other version but i dont like it
and the ones on reaper-x.com are always AWESOME mode
so thanks!
Very interesting.
So this alpha release would be based on standard MaNGOS + your patches? or does MaNGOS already have support for the client prebuild?
As I did the last time, I'm still going to require a build of my own, due to my crappy CPU on the server. So would the source, in case you make it, be released as well?
UDB, SD2 - Of course, WoTLK has some differences and additions. Will the release still be compatible with the current MaNGOS, SD2 files, and will we be able to merge the data with the "official" UDB/SD2 releases?
I wouldn't mind doing some manual work on the SQL layer if that is required, nor would I mind mingling in the source code if that is required too. But that's probably the few of us that would be capable of doing that.
Let us know when you have more info and when we can expect to give it a try, working or not, it's going to be fun trying.
Stumpyy
Hey Oatman!
With this release, will there be npcs, mobs & quests at northrend?
I do already using a wotlk mangos release on my servers, and it's only a few places, like larger cities that have npcs and no transports in or to northrend are working.
Hope your release is better, but mine is still not bad, since Death Knight is working pretty nice.
how i acess this reaper-x pack, plz i am crazy for wow
@Oatman
I put in a contact post but I never got an answer. I have a brand new server box that you are welcome to use to test your WOW:LK private server and make it an open test server to the public. Server has...
8GB RAM
AMD Phenom Quad Core Processor(2.3GHz)
160GB Hard Drive
Remote Desktop Support, along with FTP
Boosted Internet Service
Tell me what you think. ;)
Thanks
-Mike
nice job mike(fate) i have a question. if you could answer me asap or on my email odoat@thegame.com please let me know how much would charge for server hosting because i would like to get a new server host for my WotLK server which i will be opening once againa fter i try the reaper-x release, so please let me know how much you would charge for it. thanks
Jaiden
@Oatman
Are you also planning to make a svn with the source?
Any ETA besides real soon? ^^
@Oatman
Good choice with the version of the beta, it's usable both in old and new worlds, and there are points of travel defined.
For the few needing the final patch, just try to log into the beta, and the final patch will be downloaded.
Looks quite cool so far, I'm ready to pounce on a server and getting the thing airborne.
Stumpyy
so um
real soon eh?
I've recently been using another repack for the 8788 client, but it's missing DK quests and mobs in the Northrend. Also the dbc files had to be extracted from 8770 and used with the 8788 maps.
I was wondering if this is going to be the case with rev.1?
Thanks
@Jaiden
Check Email
OATMAN, please check post #36, would love a reply ASAP since I am receiving more offers.
Thanks
-Mike
eta on upload?, even if it has bugs i dont care :p
#About SVN
I have not put any consideratoin into an SVN but I will think on it.
#NPC's and Ect
They will not be in Revision 1 hopefully in revision 2.
#When is the Release?
Whenever I have time to upload, I have been EXTREMELY busy.
#FaTe
Whats the internet connection? I always have to ask taht before I even get close to considering beocming partners with someone. :)
Goto: speedtest . net
-I spaced due to Reapers Spam Filter
Get me a print out of that with the upload and download along with the ping speed.
Where can we download the client from? We could do that in the meanwhile, it takes a while :D
Keep up the good work.
Will users on this type of server HAVE to have this beta version installed to use the server or will they be able to log in normally.
plz horry up!!!! i cant w8 x)
@ Men Finger
They will need to have the WOTLK beta installed.
Come on you guys. We're dieing with boredism. I'm downloading the beta. What more can you ask from us? Lol. Take your time, but do hurry up. (What an oxymoron)
Heya Oatman.
I was having a read about some of the current releases of WotLK, are you able to elaborate on what features will be available in this release?
I've seen a lots that don't have NPC's, no high riding skills and many other things.
How much won't we be able to do on this first release?
(btw, not complaining, just curious, I still can't wait to get my ass over there).
Also, there are rumors that you will need dbc from a previous version and maps from the current version. Any idea on this?
btw guys, is it best they hurry up and release an incomplete package (like the first Arcane-Fire), or just be patient and wait for a solid release?
Give Oatman a chance, he doesn't just do this you know...
@Oatman
I have a question, the problem with alot of ppl here me included is we're itching to know when the server software is going to be released etc etc, I was wondering would it be possible to let us know how far you've got with it, till your happy enough to release it, i dunno just a quick update with like 70% complete 80% complete etc etc, was just thinking it wouldn't need you to give a 12 page essay on what needs to be done b4 its ready, all i'm thinking is it'll take 30 secs if that just to say how far you've got, it'll put alot of ppl at ease i'm thinking.
Thanks dude,
Bav

Thanks

@FaTe
Holy (I wont use any bad words :P ) man! Thats a nice internet speed! You either pay ALOT or have it on a rack!
@OATMAN
This speed test is good to ;)
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311243314.png
DAMN YOU! lol
Quite happy with this one ;)
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311267919.png
And thanks for a excellent repack Reaper, Oatman and Colt45!!
@colt45/Oatman
Here's test #3, sorry it's not as good as Dixon who owns his own internet company...
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311270861.png
I am very serious about my offer of lending you guys a server, please get back to me.
Thanks
-Mike
@ FaTe
In sweden, high connections are cheap.
I do have 100Mbps and maybe pay as much as you do for yours.
#FaTe what is your email address.
Well Samories when our server comes online to the public you'd for sure be a GM on it since you obviously have experiance with yours.. :P
Also obviously #FaTe would..
@ Oatman
If you would like a host for your repacks, I can support reaper-x and let people download from my server. It's way faster than those free hosts.
i can offer links to downloads and host the files on my server as well, any mirror is faster then the free sites
@FaTe,
As Samories said, fast internet connections here in Sweden is dirt cheap.
The sad thing though is that my ISP do not look kindly to hosting of servers on these residential connections.
I do run a Reaper-X server for the members of my guild, just for fun and machinima creations.
I cant wait for the WotLK version :)
-Dixon
Release date?
# Dixon and Fate
Since you guys posting about your connection speed, i'd like to show you my connection speed too :D
btw since i didnt received any personal url like you guys, i just took a screenshot of the test manually
http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/3199/speedtestrx6.jpg
p.s the first result is just too bad so i tested it again :P
my first test :
- download: 88 kbps
- upload: 14 kbps
@Reaper-X
man i understand your pain...
mine is the same...
download 152
upload 140
but during the test the weather was nice...
of course kbps :D:D
See I have an ok internet connection
439 dl
98 ul
But I'm an Australian, and that is to Adelaide.
Do somewhere like Washington DC I get
128 dl
129 ul (for some strange reason)
Anyway, any ideas to when the first download will be available?
@ Reaper-X
Woow.. that's low, even my mobilephone got way much higher :)
@Oatman
FaTaLiTy753@aim.com
Let me know ;)
Thanks
-Mike
@Reaper-X
Don't you live in a different country? o_0 Maybe you should try picking a different pyramid to test your connection, one closer to you.
I feel bad for you oatman, i feel spoiled, i would share 1-2 MBPS i have with you if i could =) http://www.speedtest.net/result/311457957.png
I mean reaper not oatman woops
Yea mines nothing special its pretty average for America. ITs DSL so its not as fast as cable but its obviously not as bad as Aditya's internet...
I feel sorry for you dude... Especially since its like super expensive for crappy internet there.
http://www.speedtest . net/result/311467927.png
Once again I spaced the URL because Reaper's Spam filter targets me like crazy.
Release time?
@Oatman
Emailed you back, excited to get the server up and running ;)
Guys hopefully we'll have a test server up and running soon
Thanks
-Mike
Release!!??!?!??!
Guys take it easy, your lucky he's doing you guys a favor by even making this repack. Relax, be patient
Yea ide say mine it pretty average too
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311513724.png
Yea, mine's about average. But I also have three systems running , with two active WOW (Us Server) clients running and the third running a Vent server.
Do we patch? And if yes up to which one?
nvm
Oatman ? will you support all builds ? or just 3.0.1 build X ? Or making one for evryone..
I am busy for two months all during the middle of the day for swimming practice so its kind of hard to put full effort into getting this release shipped but it should at least be out by Saturday Night...
Also it is for version: 8788 of 3.0.1 if a higher comes out I'll make it for the higher version.
Also I restrict it to one revision becuase if I dont it would crash on the person with the lower revision.
What's up with the slow speeds Oatman/Reaper...where are you guys that the internet is so slow.
Here's mine.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311568908.png
this right here is my current servers hosting from its my old neighbor but he lives there now
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311513726.png
@Oatmam
Check your email, I gave you ventrilo info
Will people without wotlk beta 3.0.1 version 8770 be able to play?
@Reaper
xD dude I knew your internet was bad but thats terrible! Lol you pay way to much for that kinda speed!
@Lloyd Grossman
I don't think so... I believe that you will need everyone whos wants to play to download it, because it has extra maps, dbc, etc.
Just because everyone else is posting their internet connection.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311703661.png
Hope you enjoy my upload speed.
#Lloyd
You mean 8788?
Yea I am restricting it to that revision because it would be bugged on others.
hey guy its much faster if yo go over to pirates bay an us a real torrent difenche for me is about 30 hours :) (loading at full speed)
Im posting my speed to =)
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311858103.png
I wouldn't expect old clients or even the pre wotlk to be able to use the server, as there is indeed change in the old world (i.e. Stormwind Barber Shop), as well as the new maps.
Add to this, that even the slightest bad reference of spells, or other internal dbc data that do not exist usually causes the client to crash.
There's one small possibility that this might be possible in the future, ralmd.exe has a build in function to distribute patches, but no one seems to be able to decipher the code. This would make it possible to create your own dbc/mpq files for the server and hence, make sure all your players have the right version for your server.
Of course, this would require massive bandwidth, but if used with a torrent engine it would be possible.
Go Oatman go, omfg I am sooo excited about this. Just hurry up and upload it =P
Hey ppl don't you think that he's going to release when he thinks it's good enough to be released??
I personally don't want it to be as buggy as other WOTLK repacks so give him some time to make it as good as possible ;P
Yea I know that and I know it is going to be as good as possible. But still, I want it now :)
@Wokis .... i think i just creamed myself thats rediculous....
New patch out oatman you need to update it
After 2 days of downloading at
http://www.speedtest.net/result/312185078.png
speed....
I have finally finished downloading the client :)
Yay.... THANK YOU THANK YOU
*dances*
You're the absolute BEST, simple as that. Take your time, got my own server (8634) untill then :)
@Anderek
I would rather have him release the repack for 8788, because if he upgrades it it's gonna take more time, and I can't wait '3'
Woah, whats new in the patch? :D
@Timelol
Unfortunately I don't think there are any complete patch notes available ATM. Sorry...
These notes are kinda complete:

I have the client it says 3.0.1.8820. Will this work and what next?
@informative

He said he would try to have it out by tonight sometime. He'll put it out when he gets it ready. I'm looking forward to it but I don't mind waiting. I'm just very thankful that Oatman has taken the time to put this out in the first place.
omg the suspense is killing me! refreshed this page so many times, suprised i not killed it, i'm very sure it'll be worth the wait though.

I got 2 questions:
1) when we download the WotLK Beta Version Above, do we install it to our WoW directory or something like C:\WotLK Beta??
2) When oatman releases this server, is it only going to be his server, or will we be able to create our own private server like Arcane Revision and so on?
Please send feedback
Thanks, Coz = )
@coz
From my experience with Reaper-X's Mangos (or let alone Oatman's repacks) You can install WotLK Beta anywhere. As long as you can copy / paste the dbc / vmap extractor. Could be wrong.
And as always, this is so we can host our own private servers. 'else he wouldn't be releasing it.
