Goodbye Repacks …

Reaper-X — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 03:38:39 +0000

I’m pretty sure some of you already knew that this might be happen sooner or later, and so i think it’s best for me to write a new post explaining about this. Well it has been almost two years since the first time ever i created a Repack for World of Warcraft based on Mangos, and as many people said All good things (or bad things if you define my repacks are bad) eventually come to an end. And so in this post i want to announce that there’ll be no more repacks made by myself. Although i’m pretty sure you have noticed that too, because the last repack that is made by myself directly is the old Reaper Mangos 5472 for WoW 2.3.3 that is released more than one year ago, and since then all the repacks are made by Oatman, Colt45, Darkened Linux and Erytheia

Ever since i’ve created my first repack (well i don’t know about what repack is back then when i first created a repack and so this part deserved a new paragraph), i’ve met with many wonderful people, intelligent people that helped others to create their own wow server by helping them directly (via remote access perhaps) or by simply leaving comments here. And so in this post i want to thank you all for helping me answering all kind questions posted by various commenters

As i said before, back then when i started creating repack, i don’t know those thing called repack, and that is simply because back then when i created my first post on how to set up your own wow private server using Mangos and judging from the questions asked there, it seems some people still find that guide is difficult for them and so i created another guide and this time i included images to make things easier to read, and also separated it into four posts (Part One – Installing MySQL, Part Two – Configuring Mangos, Part Three – Configuring Mangos for LAN, Part Four – Setting up Apache Webserver) but still some people confused on how those server related things work, and so i decided to help them directly by connecting to them via Remote Desktop / Remote Assistance to configure everything directly free of charge. But because that is just too much time consuming and so i decided to create a simple Batch file to make installing and updating a little bit easier and that’s also mark as my first repack release based on Mangos, called Reaper Mangos 4488. And that’s how this repack thing started (i hope i don’t bored you with my repack history lol)

And so … once again i want to thank you all the site visitors for leaving comments, using my repacks and other repacks, and also helping others to set up their own World of Warcraft Private server. And also special thanks to Oatman, Colt45, Darkened Linux and Erytheia for their repacks. And also to everyone at Mangos Project and also TrinityCore for making such wonderful emulator despite they don’t want it to be called emulator and also Unified Database Forums for the database and also Scriptdev2 for their script :)

And once again, as i said before, that by posting this, that means there’ll be no repacks coming from me (made by me), but of course i’ll accept any kind of repacks you’ve made to be posted and promoted here with full credits (obviously i’ll check them first to make sure it’s virus free). And no www.reaper-x.com is not dead, i’ll still continue writing posts about anything else but there’ll be no more post about repack coming from me ;)

As a bonus, for the next few posts, perhaps i’ll create a guide on how to setup Mangos and or Trinity Core manually by yourself :)

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

Oatman — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:13:31 +0000

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

Reaper-X Wrath of the Lich King! Should Reaper-X.com Support It?

Oatman — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:29:35 +0000

Hey Everyone,

This is Oatman here and I am wondering if the community would be interested on Wrath of the Lich King? I’ve done some research and I believe that under some work I could get a MaNGOS WotLK 3.0.1 Revision Released. So you all could try out the new Death Knight class and be able to explore the new continent of Northrend.

Yes this would take some work, but I’d be more than willing to work on a Reaper-X WotLK Beta MaNGOS Revision if enough of the community wants this to happen.

List of What Reaper-X WotLK Alpha Would Contain:

Full Support for Client 3.0.1 Beta.
Death Knight Support
Level to 80 with new armor.
3.0.1 Map Extractor
Northrend Teleporting Zones.

If you guys as a community would be interested in such a release please post your comments below and if enough of the community is interested and if Reaper himself gives me the go ahead I’ll get right on it!

Here is the Links to More Images:

So if you are interested in having a WoTLK Server place your comments and if the Reaper-X Community is Interested Enough then I’ll get right on this!

Sincerely,

Oatman

Vmaps from WoW 2.4.2:

Thanks to Davtex for uploading the maps and vmaps files

Custom Vendors Pack

http://filebeam.com/ba76aee3d934e0ab9d7e2f7c4d40452a

Credits to Firane for creating the Custom Vendors Pack

DBC and Maps Extractor:

Just in case the included ad.exe (map extractor) and dbc extractor isn’t working for you (like you keep getting message about maps or dbc file is not compatible), you can try using this one:

DBC and Map Extractor (131KB)

That archive just contain only one file (ad.exe) … and all you have to do is just put it into your WoW installation directory (where wow.exe and launcher.exe can be found) … and delete maps and dbc folder there if exist and then run the new ad.exe … and it’ll extract the maps and dbc files automatically (the output will be in maps and dbc directory)

Fresh Install:
Important Note : Fresh installation will overwrite your database

1. First you’ll need to install MySQL

2. Extracting Maps, DBC and VMaps from your World of Warcraft installation
(You can safely ignore the Patch-2, or any not found xxx-2 message)–This only happens if your extracting from patch 2.4.0

3. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat inside the reaper-x-mangos folder, and you’ll see something like below image for an example, and then you just need to write the full path to your mysql installation directory (where mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe can be found) ;)

4. Selection Option 1 by pressing “1&Prime on the keyboard and pressing enter.
Note: This will wipe out any previous versions of WoW you have in your database.

6. After finished with all of the above process, all you have to do now is just open the realmlist.wtf file in your World of Warcraft installation directory (the default location can be found at C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft) using Notepad, Wordpad, or your favorite text editor and then …

Replace :

set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com

With :

set realmlist 127.0.0.1

and then save it and close realmlist.wtf File.

7. Now you just need to run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe from your mangos directory and then the next step would be creating your own username with your desired password for your own WoW server account as shown on below image followed by typing setgm to give yourself a GM level account

By the way, if you can’t see what you should type inside the mangosd window from the above image, actually you just need to type :

create username password

to create the account

setgm username 1-3

to give yourself GM Access at certain level (3 is the highest level and should only be used on your account while normal player is 0)

8. Finally if you have Burning Crusade client installed and want to be able to create Burning Crusade specific character, all you have to do is just type :

setbc username 1

to enable burning crusade expansion for your account :)

Optional :
If you want to change the server name into something else, you can use the reaper-x-mangos.bat to adjust it :)

Upgrading from 5953 Release:

1. Re-extract vmaps, maps and dbc because this version no longer supports the old World of Warcraft 2.3.3 installation and only supports the new 2.4.2 (YOU MAY SKIP RE-EXTRACTING IF YOUR DBC’S, MAPS, AND VMAPS ARE ALREADY FROM A 2.4.2 CLIENT!)

2. Go into your WoW Reaper Server Directory, and open reaper-eazy-mangos. Next I recommend opening the batch file and backing up your character data. This is optional though.

3. Open the Folder called “Upgrade” and run reaper-x-upgrade.bat.

4. Next type in the directory to the Bin Folder where your mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe files are located.

5. Then make sure that you are upgrading from the latest previous version or else you WILL corrupt your database and possibly lose your character data.

Guide on how to Edit Mangos.Conf
Thanks for the Mangosd.conf edit guide Jeremy!

First off make sure that you have your MySQL running before doing anything.

You need to go back into the reaper folder (C:\Reaper-X-Easy-MaNGOS\reaper-eazy-mangos)
And run the batch file called reaper-x-mangos, there is an option there to setup your LAN or IP for use, This new batch file does correctly setup your DB to the IP you enter in this batch file. Once you’ve done that, if you haven’t gone back in to edit the config files in your reaper folder mentioned above, you need to do that, there is a section in there with this.

# Data directory setting.
# Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may
# contain space characters.
DataDir = “C:\Reaper-X\data”

This is an example of waht it may look like. You need to change this to the path where you put your data folder with the maps, vmaps, and dbc’s.

Second, …

# Database connection settings for the world server.
# Default: hostname;port;username;password;database
# .;somenumber;username;password;database – use named pipes at Windows
# Named pipes: mySQL required adding “enable-named-pipe” to [mysqld] section my.ini
# .;/path/to/unix_socket;username;password;database – use Unix sockets at Unix/Linux
# Unix sockets: experimental, not tested
LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;realmd”
WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;mangos”
CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;characters”

Above, you need to change the MANGO;MANGOS to your root DB name, likey it’s just root, and YOUR batabase (DB) password (you should know this)

YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE IP’S here or in the realmd file, ONLY THROUGH THAT BATCH FILE, i mentioned above. (that file does it for you)

Next open scriptdev2.conf and realmd.conf and edit the info for them to connect to your database as well.

Hope you enjoy this release if you have any questions feel free to post them as a comment below!

Reaper MaNGOS 5931 with ScriptDev 412|Server Compatible With 2.4.2 (UDB ONLY!)

Oatman — Thu, 22 May 2008 00:02:43 +0000

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE FRESH INSTALL TOOL IT IS BROKEN IN THIS RELEASE. IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS RELEASE DOWNLOAD THE 5472 RELEASE AND THEN USE THE UPGRADE TOOL IN THIS RELEASE. THE PROBLEM IS I FORGOT TO INCLUDE SOME SQL AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING CREATURE.ADDON ERRORS AND ALOT OF VARIOUS SQL ERRORS. I APPOLOGIZE SINCERELY.

NOTE: THIS IS SAFE HOWEVER IF YOU ARE USING THE UPGRADE TOOL! SO IF YOUR UPGRADING FROM THE PREVIOUS RELEASE IT WILL WORK ITS JUST THE FRESH INSTALL THAT IS BUGGED UP!

Sorry Included an Old Map Extractor Heres the Updated Link!

~~https://mangos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk/contrib/map_extractor/ad.exe~~

Well looks like its FINALLY TIME for another Reaper MaNGOS Release so that you all can get your servers updated with the latest features and to use the new 2.4.2 client. I spent a couple of hours getting this release ready and I think I finally have gotten it right.

Also as a Side-Note PSDB is NOT included in this release due to the fact that their organization at their site is horrible and they are unclear on how to upgrade from an older database. So you guys will have to get Reaper to tell me or a PSDB Dev to instruct me on how to upgrade or else you guys will not have a PSDB Database.

New Features:

Don’t even ask! There is so many bug fixes/new features its not even funny. It would take me hours to type it all up because of how much has been added since the last release!

About Oatman:

Btw just to let you all know my name is Jared (Oatman) and I am good partners with Reaper and I help him release some of the WoW Releases! For all of you that have been wondering Reaper has just made a move from his previous city and sometime during that move he visited a doctor and he has a medical condition referred to as Vertigo. Some of you may be aware of this while others are not. Feel free to search Google for what it is. I would like to advise you that he is ok but his doctor told him to stay away from the computer for the time being.

REQUIREMENTS:

1. MySQL Database and the Guide on how to Install MySQL

2. World of Warcraft Client version 2.4.2

3. Updated DBC’s, VMAP’s, and MAPS Updated for 2.4.2!
DBC’s are already included as part of this release!

4. Reaper-Mangos Server :
~~Reaper Mangos 5931 SD2 412 (UDB ONLY) FULL | 18.29 MB | File Beam~~
