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.

    Yes Thank you The Darkened Linux.
    I have went to http://trinitycore.org and found a step by step guide to getting my server online to share with my bro. I had it all configured and working, I could log in from the host pc so I know the basics were fine. All necessary ports were forwarded and I had a dns. Everything was running fine last night, but when he goes to log in today he was unable to connect to my server. After some exhaustive troubleshooting, I found that my ip address had changed, so my dns name was pointing to my old ip address…? So I updated the dns host site and gave them the new ip and thought everything would be ok now but no. I have been unable to connect now from a pc in my LAN.
    I decided to scrap everything and start this install from scratch.
    Guess I will have to create a static ip first this time.
    I was so close.
    Hey is your user name the same on trinity forums? I have account there in case I get get it this time around.

  2. The Darkened Linux said May 4, 2009 at 10:02 pm

    To Hustler539

    Ok if you are going to connect over the internet you will need to port forward, but if you are connecting to a computer on the same network you dont need to port forward.

    1) You will need to create a static Ip, Google “Staic ip” and you will find it.

    2) Then in your MySQL database you will need to add you Static ip into the Realmd table. just look at what Reaper-x did, it will be the same.
    You will need a programe for that, like http://www.navicat.com or any MySQL manager.

    3) Then you need to add your Staic ip number into the realm.wtf file in World Of Warcraft.

    For more info goto http://trinitycore.org and Search your question, because Reaper-x code is based off of Trinitycore code.

    everytime I run the Reaper-X Trinity.bat it blinks on then off. when I run it through command prompt to see what happened it says: “Files\MySQL\MySQL was unexpected at this time

  4. hustler539 said May 4, 2009 at 5:04 am

    First off I wanna say thank you to Reaper-X and everyone who worked hard to bring us this. I followed the instructions on this site and everything worked well:)

    However I have a question. I would like to be able to let my bro join in my server so I would like to forward(open?) some ports. What ports does Trinity realm and world use?

    I have router for internet use for me and my brother, so he is on same LAN. I referred to the guide on here but it seems a bit outdated and this is a different core. They mention port 3724 for realm and port 8085 for world, would they still be the same for Trinity?

  5. The Darkened Linux said May 1, 2009 at 4:49 am

    Hey all, a few of us have gotten together and started a new website to continue support for Trinity Core. Everyone is welcome to join and contribute, or just poke around and maybe we can all learn and get better. Reaper, if you ever do come back, let me know and we could work together in the future.

    fill them in as username root

    characters as characters

  14. ryan said Apr 12, 2009 at 1:58 pm

    Hi there

    Make sure you created an account.

    You can view accounts in your navicat lite.
    Make sure your account is there.
    I would also try making a new one. hi password hi

    If that doesnt work check your wow realmlist
    make sure its set to

    set realmlist 127.0.0.1

    Check your wow version, make sure your running the right one.

    double check your
    LoginDatabaseInfo
    WorldDatabaseInfo
    CharacterDatabaseInfo
    DataDir

    vmap.enableLOS = 0
    vmap.enableHeight = 0

    See if your firewall is stopping you from logging on.

    last thing you could do is install hamachi and see if that helps. Steps are above.

  15. itpway said Apr 9, 2009 at 5:26 am

    Hello Everyone,

    I have followed the instructions for trinity Rev1 and when I try to log into my private server, I get “Unable to Connect”. It’s not taking any logon information. I’ve checked all files and everything is set to 127.0.0.1.

    Can someone please help………

    Thanks..

    Ok nice guide but i got “stuck” at 14. When i launch “Instal Reaper-X Trinity.bat” i push one and hit enter.. Then it ask for some kind of Database Username and password where do i get them :\ plz help

  18. ryan said Apr 6, 2009 at 7:38 pm

    Hamachi , bypasses all your firewalls and portforwarding. so you dont need to change anything when you try to make a server online.
    aka. makes things alittle easy to get going with friends.

  19. gatto said Apr 6, 2009 at 2:06 pm

    what is hamachi?? for building a trinity server just i need the “CycnusMedia 2012 Repack”?? sorry and thanks

  20. ryan said Apr 6, 2009 at 5:18 am

    Alittle more info for yha.

    Download hamachi here.
    https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/vpn.asp?lang=en

    After you install it. It will teach you how to use it. You will need to turn it on. (the bottom left button). Next you will need to click on the bottom to the right. It will say create or join. You need to create. Once you pick a name and a password you should be done. Your friends will need to install this too. But have them join your account. the one you just made. Once thats done you guys can play wow together.

  21. ryan said Apr 6, 2009 at 5:12 am

    Hi there.
    Hey jeff, i would switch over to use hamachi. When you install it, just use the number at the top of your hamachi program (aka thats your new ip). leave everything as 127.0.0.1 in your conf files. The only thing you need to change is your Wow realmlist. change it to your new ip. (aka the one in the hamachi program your going to download). so it sould look like this in your wow realmlist. set realmlist 127.0.0.1
    But use your number not the 127.0.0.1.
    After that, just make sure all your other peeps are using your new number too.

  22. jeff said Apr 5, 2009 at 4:50 am

  23. The Darkened Linux said Apr 2, 2009 at 6:54 am

    Can someone make a Linux guide for the Trinity Server. Reaper-x you should jump on it, you could be one of the 1st to put out a World of Warcraft Linux Server. If you can, Ubuntu would be the best place to start.

    Thx!

  24. jeff said Mar 31, 2009 at 9:02 am

  29. Cycnus Jones said Mar 22, 2009 at 3:53 am

    I’ve tried everything!!!!!!

    For some reason I just can’t get this thing to update, I’ve used the update packs that TrinityCore has released, I’ve used the packs that Trinity DataBase has released, I’ve even tried a combination of both. Nothing works. I’m gonna spend the next couple of days working on my website.

    Here’s a copy of the repack without a Reaper-X upgrade option. (If anyone can figure out how to get the Reaper-X version to upgrade to 3.0.9 let me know so I can include the updates in my repacks, Thx)

    Sorry guys, to everyone that downloaded my repack 2012 and are trying to update Reaper-X Trinity to Cycnus Media Trinity, there were some key patches left out of the update process which were causing some errors and subsequently the update was not performed properly. I have fixed the issues and have uploaded a new repack file (I removed the old file to stop any confusion before it happens), along with the Database Installation folder on its own as a separate file for those of you who have already downloaded the previous repack.

    Here is the Database Installation folder : (Replace the current folder with this one, it contains everything needed for all installs)

    Hope this helps, and if anyone has any problems let me know.

  35. Cycnus Jones said Mar 19, 2009 at 8:02 pm

    3.0.9 but you can update your reaper-x 2.4.3 and maintain your characters into this version with the supplied database installation tool.

  36. Alar said Mar 19, 2009 at 5:02 pm

    Hmm? Is this repack for 3.0.9 or 2.3.4?

  37. Cycnus Jones said Mar 19, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    Okay guys, here is my latest repack. It contains version 2012, the latest core and database. It is stable and has quite a few fixes since the last one I put up here.

    http://rapidshare.com/files/210957707/Cycnus_Media_Repack_2012.zip

    For those who downloaded my last repack, the maps, vmaps, and dbc’s from your version are fine, they do not need to be re-extracted. To upgrade your database to the current version just run the database installation tool and select 2 to upgrade Cycnus Media Trinity.

    If you have the Reaper-X Trinity Rev.1 for 2.4.3, you can update using this repack. When you run the database installation tool, select 3 to upgrade Reaper-X Trinity. This will update your databases to the 3.0.9 database and patch it to the current version. You will need to extract the maps and vmaps using the tools in the Extractors Folder.

    If you have any questions post them and I will try to help as best I can.

  38. Lunan said Mar 19, 2009 at 3:25 am

    yes the link i give has everything there.
    install the world DB using TDB 0.0.3 and find the clean install of characters.sql and realmd.sql on separate folder.
    install is the same, just restore using sqldump

    remember when compiling TC2 (using visual studio 2008/express) to change into release version, after that copy all the release folder in the VC9 folder into TC2 Main folder.

    WARNING, LOTS OF BUG, and BROKEN QUEST, especially DEATH KNIGHT and NORTHREND are plaguing the database.wait until new update comes up

    (ps:sorry for double post…my internet is so slow…-malaysia- )

    Fixed my problem and so far all is working great. Able to play the game. My problem was in navicat I had changed the port to 3306 rather then leaving it alone. Changed it back and that solved my problem. Many thanks for easy to follow instructions. Highly appreciated.

  43. magnet said Mar 16, 2009 at 3:11 am

    Great instructions, but having a problem with characters. Tells me i’m connected but there are no characters then i get disconnected. Stuck on this, not sure how to fix. Can anyone help. Thanks

    i checked and its indeed not there, i re-extracted the maps, its not there.. can some1 please please PLEASE help me out on this, oh and yes i have TBC installed and WOTLK installed 3.0.9
    any suggestions?

  47. wrath said Mar 13, 2009 at 12:56 am

    @negrodamus
    I dont think there are any switched needed other than you need to edit the magos.conf file to where the data path is. Ex. mine is c:\data\wow and your should be d:\ or e:\ or whatever you drive letter and path to the maps. DBC and Vmaps files are. Thanks Wrath

  48. Negrodamus said Mar 13, 2009 at 12:21 am

    Only problem I have is
    vmap_assembler.exe and vmapextract_v2.exe are trying to extract my vmaps from C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data

    I dont use that for my Private Realm data, in fact I dont use my C:\ drive for anything

    So are there any switches I can run so that those 2 exex can point to where I have my 2.4.3 installation at?

  49. Masterlear said Mar 12, 2009 at 9:32 pm

    This guide was very easy to follow and I encountered very few problems. Thank you.

    I did notice that the GMIsland is empty. How do I add the NPCs for GMIsland?

  50. Lunan said Mar 7, 2009 at 5:44 am

    stupid me…i just had to run the trinityrealm and everything works fine -.-”
