Oatmans’ Wrath of the Lich King Release! Revision:1

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

you only need WotLK installed. The beta isn’t an actual “expansion” pack for WoW or TBC. It does indeed install into a separate folder and updates accordingly. So if you just want to play WotLK then you simply just install that as a stand alone and update it as needed.

when you run the WotLK installer it checks to see if TBC is installed i believe.

WOTLK Patches are every friday, so i have to agree with tho’s that posted you should polish it a bit and release it… wow releases a new patch once a week so it will be hard to keep up, this friday coming out is a fairly big patch as well.
i’m on the actual beta btw.
still looking forward to oatman’s release tho :)

No one said anything about doing this 24/7…

We’re just asking him to release what he already finished doing cause we don’t wanna wait for him to finish updating…
Although it should’nt take too long as he is only upgrading to higher build version and not making everything from nothing all over again…

Just upload it man… at this rate you’ll never release… I’m a patient person but no one wants to wait this long… pretty please!!

@Oatie
Just as Anon said just release 8788 (pretty please) cause when you finish updating it blizzard will release another patch and you will start updating again… and at this rate you’ll never release ;]

@Strife
Not too sure about that…
in a few days i’m gonna start going to a new school and i’m pretty scared ;( in poland there are many ppl who hate ppl like me…

BTW I’m 16, listen to metal watch anime, read manga, long hair, black clothes…
I saw someone getting “baseball batted” for looking like that… the only place i feel safe is my bed…(my desk is next to my bed so i’m writing this while lying in it… :P)

You seriously just should release 8788…

The updates come EVERY Friday. You’re not going to be able to keep up with them.

Just release 8788, and call it a day.

Even Crogges doesn’t support the new patches yet.
