Oatmans’ Wrath of the Lich King Release! Revision:1
Posted by Oatman Aug 17 2008 3:13 am
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

Go Oatman go, omfg I am sooo excited about this. Just hurry up and upload it =P
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.
Im posting my speed to =)

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)
#Lloyd
You mean 8788?
Yea I am restricting it to that revision because it would be bugged on others.
Just because everyone else is posting their internet connection.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311703661.png
Hope you enjoy my upload speed.
@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.
Will people without wotlk beta 3.0.1 version 8770 be able to play?
@Oatmam
Check your email, I gave you ventrilo info
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
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
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.
Oatman ? will you support all builds ? or just 3.0.1 build X ? Or making one for evryone..
nvm
Do we patch? And if yes up to which one?
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.
Yea ide say mine it pretty average too
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311513724.png
Guys take it easy, your lucky he’s doing you guys a favor by even making this repack. Relax, be patient
Release!!??!?!??!
@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 time?

Once again I spaced the URL because Reaper’s Spam filter targets me like crazy.
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.
I mean reaper not oatman woops
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
@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.
@Oatman
FaTaLiTy753@aim.com
Let me know ;)
Thanks

@ Reaper-X
Woow.. that’s low, even my mobilephone got way much higher :)
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?
of course kbps :D:D
@Reaper-X
man i understand your pain…
mine is the same…
download 152
upload 140
but during the test the weather was nice…
# 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
Release date?
@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
i can offer links to downloads and host the files on my server as well, any mirror is faster then the free sites
@ 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.
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..
#FaTe what is your email address.
@ FaTe
In sweden, high connections are cheap.
I do have 100Mbps and maybe pay as much as you do for yours.
@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
Quite happy with this one ;)
http://www.speedtest.net/result/311267919.png
And thanks for a excellent repack Reaper, Oatman and Colt45!!
DAMN YOU! lol
@OATMAN

@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
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…
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?
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)
