Reaper Trinity Core Installation Guide

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.

Elfy,

Download this tool, http://www.no-ip.com/downloads.php
Sign up for a free account, Create the url you want to use for your server make sure the website saves it. Install the tool after its done installing run the program..make sure it updates the host name then add the host name you choose into the Ip table of the realmD Database when you connect to it in Navicat. that should work.. just make sure you have the tool running before you try to strat your server.

Setting up the server portion, Everything is fine and no errors.

I’m having problems logging into the game from another computer. I can only put in Acct. Name and Password, and I get “Cannot Connect”
Also… the Realm name is not in the game screen.

I’m sure this has to do with IP addresses in the databases because everything is set to 127.0.0.1 … which files do I place the Server IP so I can play from any system on my home network ?

thanks much.

Post # 95 Important Note:

Trinity Install Bat:
If you left MySQL, named: root

click # 1
MySQL Name: root
Then Password: (your password)

Then use [Enter] to accept the defaults

That is the only way it seemed to work as of this moment its still running.

@Darkner

I still have the problem with being disconnected after I try to log on. In what line did you change the port and to what from what?

It seems so simple because nobody mentions what they do, but I can’t think anymore.

Darkner said Feb 28, 2009 at 11:53 pm

Hmm, I somehow solved the problem. I guess i had changed the port# in one of the files. Then I had another problem with my characters starting in lvl 70, but silly me, I forgot to look through the entire core.conf, and found a line with GM start level… :) So all fine now! Great guide

I have the same problem as some other dudes a couple of days back. I did everything i was supposed to but when I try to logon to my server, it says “connecting” for maybe 5 secs, and then it says “disconnected from server”. I can’t logon!

i have patch WoW-3.0.8.9506-to-3.0.9.9551 for my live and i also have the retail WoTLK i bought…..is there a mangos program that wit support it…can u link it to me on this site or my emails Ghost.face.killah101@hotmail.com

@steage
I would download the trial Burning crusade and it will install it in the correct WOW folder.
After that create your wow trinity or mangos server and it will use the new MPQ files. Which means you can use the expansion (Burning Crusade) you can also download the WOTLK trial and use it for your private server just make sure you have the right mangos for it.Thanks Wrath

@Mordith

that is correct i believe that you should only patch up to 2.4.3 if you are not going to do the expansion. If you are going to use the trinity database then you should only patch to the 2.4.3 because right now that is all this sites patch can use. Thanks wrath

Mordith said Feb 26, 2009 at 5:08 am

Right on. I will do that then. With this install I can only patch up to 2.4.3 correct.

wrath said Feb 26, 2009 at 3:28 am

@Mordith
No you dont have to. It is better to so you can play the expansions however when you make you account you just skip the part of adding the expansion to your character. you can get the expasion for free at Worldofwarcraft.com and just download the trial and you will be good to go. Thanks Wrath

This may sound stupid, but do you have to have TBC expansion installed for this all to work?

“Put your realm name where it says realm name and then put your IP address where it says ip address(127.0.0.1).”

Hummm, does not work when you leave the default loopback addy instead of using the machines fixed address. Missed it when I was going through the instructions.

First off, thanks for the effort you guys put into this :)

I seem to be having a problem that a few people on here have had as well, but most of them did not post up what they did to fix it!

I followed the steps carefully (twice now, lol), and all seems to be ok on the server side, but when the clients connect and it gets to the realm selection it then disconnects and asks again the realm to choose.

I have tried with two different PC’s on our LAN with same results. I imagine it’s a simple fix and something stupid I am overlooking… Help would be appreciated.

Norr (post 43), steele (post 60), Hellshade (post147), cahc83 (post 151) were having the same problem.

Thanks!
Cutha

I have a new issue.
I used TrinityCore commands to force a player to rename his character.
When the player tried to rename the character and log in, the server disconnected him. Everytime he tries to rename the character, it does the same thing. All of his other characters can log in just fine.
To make matters worse, his character no longer has a name and I can’t even access it from TrinityCore.
Any suggestions?

Erik said Feb 12, 2009 at 4:15 am

Whoops yea I meant 127.0.0.1
I also tried to change it to my internal IP address on that computer (aka 192.168.0.xxx)and changing all the other numbers.

I uninstalled everything and I’m going to retry from step one again. It’s just weird that I can join other peoples servers but I can’t join my own lol. I’ve gotten reaper compiles working before in the past but this time it’s giving me trouble for some reason.

I think last time I made a private lan server was for the BC patch that released Black Temple and it played fine but now I’m stuck on something that I’m sure in as simple as a misplaced period or capitalized letter lol.

I’m off from work today so I get a whole day to make this work so here we go!

As I suspected (see posts 163 & 165, sorry soulhunter, I referenced your post by mistake before), after installing the 5.1 mysql community server the installation did not produce the error with the character database creation.
So maybe some of u experiencing similar problems should check the mysql version u are using.
Hope this helps some people
Reaper-x team please take my suggestion under consideration, I strongly recommend u post your environment details. It would help if everyone had a reference as to what they should be using to reproduce the same enviroment.

@Erik:
Hey did u change the realmlist in realmlist.wtf? If you have set up your server in the same machine as the client than ur ok with that. If you want to set up the server in a virtual machine or in any other way different machine than the one you play then u need to change the realmlist field in your mysql database too. See the guide for setting the public server or come back with that question and i ll give u details.

As a side note I just went online an played on 2 different servers so I don’t believe it’s a problem with my router. I have my router setup as a gateway. I have no problem joining other peoples servers but I can’t join my own for some reason.

Erik said Feb 11, 2009 at 7:18 pm

Hey,
I went through all the step and got both the trinityrealm and trinitycore working fine. The only problem is that I can’t connect to the client for some reason.

I have 2.4.3 and created an account as user Erik with password Erik to test it out and it stays stuck on “connecting” and then comes back as couldn’t connect. I had everything set to the default 247.0.0.1 on that computer and nothing would connect so I tried to set it to my lan ip and that didn’t work either.

I followed the instruction on setting up a lan server to see if another of my computers could connect and I hit the same problem even after trying both sets of ip numbers. Any idea why this is happening? I’m not getting ANY errors, just unable to connect.

In my case (see above post no 164) using navicat lite for importing the sql had the same effect. I think it must be an incompatibility thing with the mysql server version. You reaper-x guys should mention what components u are using (in this case exact version of sql server + op. system + system patches or service packs).
I have been using a 5.0x version, will try with version 5.1x, and windows 2003 Server with serv pack 2 as operating system.

Hello i tried doing a fresh install and got this message
ERROR 1005 (HY000) at line 52: Can’t create table ‘.\characters\arena_team.frm’
(errno: 121)
After that it seemed to move on but i cant be sure if it has put the rest of the tables in.
I had wiped clean any older folders from the mangos database in the mysql data dir so I really dont understand what the problem is.
Tried this twice, got the same result.
Any ideas?

Chris you need to add the realm manually in your SQL database using SQLyog or navaicat. The instuctions are in the guide.

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.
