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

7 days a month does not make!
he shouldnt post stuff saying its finally here and then a month later people are asking where is it? dont post anything till it actually is
If you can’t wait you shouldn’t be here!
OMGWTFBBQ HOW LAWNG UNTUL U PT TEH THING OUT!?!?!111one
hope it comes out atleast next week.
“at least, not at the latest!”
By the way he used it, it seemed like he meant it as “I’ll try and get it out soon, but it’ll be out by Saturday at the very least!”
That’s how I interpreted it at least.
“the longer it takes to release the better it will be”
Untrue, because he’s already stated it’ll be released when he decides uploads it. That says to me that he’s done working on it and only has to upload it now, meaning when he has the time.
Pretty sure he’s done making improvements and it’s not getting any better just sitting there. If he’s too busy to upload it, chances are he’s too busy to squash out the bugs too.
@CasperY
actually he said.
Oh my god why can’t you people just be patient – it will be ready when it done – as VirteX said ‘the longer it takes to release the better it will be’ – you’ll be moaning if it dont work right, so let him squash all the bugs he can find
And Oatman never said which Saturday night it would be ;P
“it should at least be out by Saturday Night”
at least, not at the latest!
As he said he’s busy with real life things at the moment as well so he’s not able to put all his time into it.
And as we all should know by now “RL > WoW” :P
Hey Oatsman, when is this thing comming out already? You said you’d have it done by last night at the latest! D:
Yes you click skip…
Other then this post i’ve never been on this site for anything and even i can wait with out making comments, if you read anything on the rest of the site you should know it’s legit and he said he was obviously busy people :) so if you can’t wait for his release that he would like to make decent then download someone elses :) oh wait… most of the other ones i’ve seen for download don’t work worth crap lol.
PATIENCE is a Virtue.
think of it this way… the longer it takes to release the better it will be.
hell the blizzard beta server isn’t perfect either :p lots of stuff is broken, Pally judgments are :( it sucks
i guess we click the skip button when it pops up, upgrade account or skip, when downloading the beta? lol
Hey, people he’ll release when he makes it as good as he can.
So stop saying “hurry up” or “this is just a bluff” cause he wouldn’t bluff (why make a post about a repack when there will be no repack?? +did he ever lie about doing something??) and (probably) wants to release something that people can use unlike any other wotlk repacks…
Sorry about this but just reading those few last comments got me mad…
Colt poke Oatman xD
im starting to belive that this is just a bluff x(
Hoping to see this soon, I can’t wait. I’m working on getting the beta on my computer right now!
Laptop, don’t crap on me now!
Well its 45 minutes ti’ll end of saturday night
soz i guess its not being made D=
Its fine man. Didn’t try to sound mean. :)
thank you so much sir, ive been making private from this website for a while, im just not familiar, with WotLK at all, so , my apoligies.
@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.
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 = )

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.

@Timelol
Unfortunately I don’t think there are any complete patch notes available ATM. Sorry…
Woah, whats new in the patch? :D
@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′
*dances*
You’re the absolute BEST, simple as that. Take your time, got my own server (8634) untill then :)
Yay…. THANK YOU THANK YOU

New patch out oatman you need to update it
@Wokis …. i think i just creamed myself thats rediculous….
Yea I know that and I know it is going to be as good as possible. But still, I want it now :)
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
