Reaper Trinity Core Installation Guide
Posted by Reaper-X Jan 1 2009 3:50 am
Special Thanks to Wrath for creating this Reaper-X TrinityCore Installation Instruction, and that means full credits should be given to him ;)
First Things first!!! Pay attention to the instuctions directly do not vear off and think you know what your doing because you wouldnt be reading this if you knew what you was doing…jking but still stay to the instructions.
1. Install wow 2.4.3 and make sure you have the correct version I repeat 2.4.3. ok now off to the good stuff.
2. Download and install MYSQL follow the instructions that are provided for you on the page. Even if you have installed mysql before reread the instuctions and follow to a T.
3. After you have finished installing mysql download and install .net framework 3.5 SP1. This is also provided for you on the web page. If you have previous installations of MYSQL uninstall it and delete any sql folders left over and then reinstall.
4. Now download the Trinity Core 595 SD2 809 (Trinity/UDB ONLY) FULL | 18.0 MB | Rapidshare (or from any mirror you choose) and then extract it. I usually extract it to the desktop. you can extract it by double clicking on the file.
5.After you get the mysql loaded and configured there are some changes that you have to make. go to your desktop folder called Reaper-X Trinity Rev 1 and then open it. then open the folder labeled install database.Now right click on the Install Reaper-X Trinity.bat file and edit it in notepad. you must add qotes as seen below.. Also you must make sure that the correct path is typed for where the bin file is located.What you see below is my path make sure you type your path.After your done editing this file save and close it.
REM ####################################################
REM # MySQL HOST PATH - MySQL Server Path
REM # EXAMPLE: C:\Program Files\MySQL Community 5.0\bin
REM ####################################################
set mysqlpath="c:\Program Files\mysql\MySQLServer5.0\bin" <--notice the qoutes in the path.
6. Now open the Reaper-X Trinity Rev 1 folder that is located on your desktop. Hang in there were getting to the good parts.
7. You should see a bunch of files and 4 folders when you open it up.
8. The first thing we want to do when we get this folder open is fill the folder that says data with the correct stuff. If you open the data folder up you will see three folders. DBC ,maps and Vmaps. DBC is already filled with the correct stuff, dont touch, delete or anything right now. If you open maps and Vmaps the folders are empty and that is ok. We are going to fill them with the correct data.
9. Close out of the Data windows that you have open so that you are back at your desktop and reopen the Reaper-X Trinity Rev 1 folder.Now open the extractors folder. You should see a folder and a file. Folder named vmap extractor and assembler. and a file named map and DBC extractor.exe.
10. Open the vmap extractor and assembler folder and you should see 4 files in there. Copy all 4 files and then paste them into your c:\program files\world of warcraft\data\enus directory and then run the RUN ME FOR VMAPS!.bat file. This will create the VMAPS folder. this may take a while so just wait till it tells you it is done.
11. Ok after Vmaps are created copy the folder name vmaps that has now been created, into the Reaper-X Trinity Rev 1 folder under the data folder. This is where the three folders are that I talked about earlier (maps,vmaps,dbc). copy all the contents from vmaps into the folder named vmaps in there. So now you should have a filled dbc folder and a filled vmaps folder in there. the maps folder is empty still but we are going to add data in a minute in there also.
12. Ok now we need to put data into the map folder so the way to do that is go to Reaper-X Trinity Rev 1 (on your dekstop) folder again and go to extractors. copy the map and dbc extractor.exe file to the c:\program files\world of warcraft folder and paste it there. now run the maps and dbc extractor.exe file. This will start to install the maps to a folder called maps. see how easy that is. Once it is done you now need to open the maps folder it created and copy the contents or data, and then paste it into the folder called maps located in the Reaper-X Trinity Rev 1\data\maps folder (you know the folder on your dekstop). now the DBC, VMAPS and MAPS folder all have data in them. YAY!!!
13. Now you need to move those folders to the correct location. Go to your c:\drive and make a folder there on the root called WOW. now open the wow folder you just created and make another folder in there called DATA. Now open the DATA folder you just created. Now go to your desktop and inside your Reaper-X Trinity Rev 1 folder open the data folder. You should see the three folders in there (maps,vmaps and DBC) copy all three folders into the DATA folder we just created previously. so when done you should have 3 folders in you c:\wow\data path. maps,vmaps and DBC should be in there.
14. Now you need to run the Install Reaper-X Trinity.bat file(located in the Reaper-X Trinity Rev 1 folder on your desktop under the install database folder. Run this file and it will take a while for this too run.
15. once it is done it should close on its own if not hit any key and it should close.
16. Now you need to download Navicat program. this will allow you to edit the sql files. after downloading Navicat make a new connection and name it whatever you want.username should be root or whatever you made it when you set SQl up. Put your password in whatever you made the password.Click test and it should be sucessful. Now open the realmd tables and then go to realmlist. once you open realmlist you will see a table probably empty and this is where you need to add your realm name. Put your realm name where it says realm name and then put your IP address where it says ip address(127.0.0.1). The ID should be 1. close Navicat out.
17. Now go back to your desktop and open the trinityrealm.exe file and you should see your realm listed in there.
18. Now open click on the trinitycore.exe file and it should start scripting, let it run.
19. Once it is finished you now need to create an account so you can play. Hit enter to get a command prompt. Type account create (login name anything you want) (your password). Hit enter it should say account created.
20. Now if you want Gm power in which im sure you do type account set gm (username) 3 and hit enter. should have a GM account now.
21. Now you need to create the TBC (The burning Crusade) addon so you can play in the Burning Crusade area. Type account set addon (Your username) 1.
22. Navigate to c:\program files\world of warcraft. Look for the realmlist.wtf file. right click on it and click on edit. Should open a notepad. Now take everything out of there and type “set realmlist 127.0.0.1″ without the quotes. Save and close.
22. You can now open Wow and type your username and Password and login to your realm and play as a GM.

I get a socket error once I load the trinity.exe anyone know why?
What pacth of wow are you using? If you are using 3.03 then thats probably why you are getting this error. This repack was made for patch 2.4.3, but a 3.03 release will probably be released within the next week or two.
Error at point 10.

Press any key to continue . . .
ANy suggestions? ive tried a fresh install of wow.
Im simply surprised mangos (trinity) hasnt made easy one process installs. With as many people as there are if they got a unified repack going out in a easy install package they could get some serious popularity. Though, installing something in this fashion isnt exactly hard, theres alot of room for error and newer users cant really do much. -Wow can be easily compared to windows vista in the sense that it appeals to newer and/or younger users

I’m really sorry i think he probably missed / forgot about that part since there are too many changes since the last version that is released a few months ago or so :(
ok, I know the releases have been good and the docs are normally not quite polished, but wth? Maybe I’m just anal b/c I work with databases all the time, but who’s writing the DB install scripts?! Why in the world are you asking for user-definable world, character, and realm db names if you’re going to drop/recreate hardcoded names five lines later??!
And its fixed. Ignore all my posts lol
OK nm I fixed that, now it accepts my name and password, gets to the realm selection, then disconnects me when I select it :(
My game wont connect :( I got through all the steps fine (couple of username and file location problens that have been reported above, but fixed them) but WoW just wont connect. Doesnt even get to the checking password stage.
Everything is up and running, let me create my account no issues and yes, I changed the realmlist.wtf to the loopback ip.
Any help would be appreciated.
hi again,
solved my probleme !
was was including the () im my username/password.
that was pretty dumb of me lol
thanx again for the guide !
hi,
This guide rocks !
instalation was nice and easy.
only probleme is: when i startup WOW and try to log on my brand new realm, i get a invalid user/passerd error.
any one can have a clue how to fix this ?
thanx a million for this walktrought again !
Yeah I did everything (down to the fine print, xD) and when I went to doubleclick the trinityrealm.exe I got
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Reaper-X Trinity Rev 1\TrinityRealm.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
But I never installed it in the first place, what’s going on? v.v
(Same for the trinity core btw)
#paradox
how did you fix the missing .0004331.map error, having the same prob myself…thx tried re running maps extractor and it doesn’t recreate maps folder…
@nick
your problem is like me some table missing and some of them are corrupted. Can someone Help Us ?
2009-01-01 14:09:26 ERROR:query ERROR: Table ‘characters.characters’ doesn’t exist
Hm, anyone seen this before?
db error says:
Spell 49011 listed in `spell_linked_spell` does not exist
and alot more … if i delete it from navicat it doesnt even load … i dont know how to fix ..should i need to re-extract maps and vmaps ?
i have the same error as kevin, mysql is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file, preety annoying. i did mysql -u root -p thing in the command prompt and everything was woorking fine. still i got that error, any ideas?
Look in the error text files for the problem. The files are in the same folder as trinitycore.exe and trinityrealm.exe
i checked trinitycore.exe when it loads it was loading fast but i finally got the screenshot when it closes .. it closes after loading 9 transport checking event and latest sentence is
WORLD initialized then it says something about pross
ok
and the it close
damnit i got a new problem … i fix trinitycore.conf and trinityrealmd.conf and i ran trinityrealm.exe and then trinitycore.exe when trinitycore.exe finishes loading maps items and etc it closes itself and i cant create account
i fixed it finnaly … anyway thank you all for your helps
mysql works. but as i said when i answer the question ( installin reaper-x trinity) like the defaults it will show me that error ” my sql is not recognized as an internal or external command… do you know how to fix it ?
Use the default database names, like when it asks you for your realmd database name just type realmd, when it asks for your characters database name just type characters, etc.
Also to test your MySQL look at comment number 12 on this post, it will tell you wether MySQL is working or not.
i think i found where is the problem but i dont know how to fix it . when i want to install reaper-x trinity when it asks for username and password and data base name … when i asnwer all and press enter it says : my sql is not recognized as an internal or external command’ operable program or batch file .. how to fix it ? and what should i type there when it asks the questions like what is your mysql databse username ?
you say open realmd database how ? where is that ? im my navicat under mysql there is only db help time user func column and etc …
Open the realmd database and look through the tables in there… it should be the bottom one. And drives (to my understanding) shouldn’t matter as long as you adjust anything that relies on that data to point to F instead of C.
at number 16 .. I made a connection and i tested it …. its was successful and then i opened the connection i checked tables under mysql and information schema and test but there is no realmd table there .. can u help ? is it because my navicat is free trial ? and at #13 i made F:\wow\data
should it be c:\wow\data ?
Tried re-extracting, no go… I didn’t install TBC directly, but I was under the impression it was included in the updates from 2.0 -> 2.4.3…
# Paradox
IIRC 0004331.map came from TBC Installation, do you have tbc expansion pack installed?
Btw try re-extract all maps
Fixed it, now it wants a different mapfile… should I just re-extract and hope it works?
Everything goes smoothly till I TrinityCore reaches the WORLD section, where it spits out an error about nonexisting mapfiles (specifically, 0004331.map). Help anyone?
Uhm uhm uhm…everything all right,but there is still a problem!
Every new character starts at level 70,even if in trinityconf the starting level is set to 1!Help!
Please help me man .. i got a problem at #16…. there isnt any table named realmd in my navicat what should i do ? i really need this server ..help !
sigh, seems im missing ‘characters.characters’ table. cant see a created character on character screen
Ah, had to edit TrinityRealm.conf and change the line
LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;root;root;realmd”
with root;root being my username and password
which?
Have you edited your Config files?
I have the same problem as NP, trinityrealm.exe cant find the server
@Kevin
This means that your MySQL wasn’t installed correctly or is not running, so first try goto Start > Run > type cmd in the run box and click ok > Now in the new black box type
mysql -u root -p
EXACTLY LIKE THAT and hit enter, it should ask you for you mysql password so type it in and hit enter. If there are errors than you installed mysql wrong, if no errors than try running that bat file again.
@DeathWing
Link is here http://www.reaper-x.com/2008/02/04/how-to-set-up-public-wow-server/
and thanks grimslarcat!
@DeathWing use the instructions on this site for setting up a LAN for TBC. They work for this new release as well.
hei reaper
could you please change the
Trinity Core 595 SD2 809 (Trinity/UDB ONLY) FULL | 18.0 MB |
to Megaupload plz
Rapidshare doesn’t support my DL manager
In order to Pause & Resume the Download section
thank you very much!!
can u tell me how to make it public so i can play with my friends online
For some reason at part 14 when I go to run the bat file it spits up an error of “mysql is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file” even if I enter nothing into the inputs for the Install Reaper-X Trinity.bat
I am spinning my wheels here and getting nothing, any help would be much obliged here.
Fixed :D
Reaper theres a problem, you have it set to edit the bat file b4 they download the core which makes no sense. :D
# Vektra
Thanks for the correction, fixed now ;) and btw credits should be given to Wrath, because he is the one who created this guide :)
# Ironwolf
Request granted :D check this page
At step 17 when i run Trinityrealm.exe in Reaper-X Trinity rev 1 folder,
“Could not connect to MySQL database at 127.0.0.1: Access denied for user ‘trinity’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)”
Ya man the only prob was the commands because they switched them suckers all up at Trinity but I saw nothing else and it was spectacculare… however you spell that word =P
Thanks for the instructions, finally got it to working. Just looking for a good current list of GM commands now, haven’t looked here (yet).
Kudos to you!
Without a doubt, you are a god among men.
The only step I saw a typo on was setting the GM status in step 20. You have to enter…
account set gm 3
Rather than just the “set gm…”
Kudos to you, Reaper!
