ReaperBBFlex for BBPress Released

Reaper-X — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:26:48 +0000

Today I just finished porting a wonderful css template created by Gerhard from http://1234.info called MultiFlex-5 to be used as BBPress theme. And because Gerhard (the MultiFlex Author) allow me to release to ported version of MultiFlex to BBPress Community, i decided to release it to the public. And hopefully you’ll like this theme :)

And as a side note, this theme is based from the default theme for BBPress and that is Kakumei, so full credits should be given to the author of Kakumei and author of MultiFlex-5 by creating such wonderful theme / css template

Demo:

Can be seen directly at my forums

Download Link:

ReaperBBFlex for BBPress

Theme Installation:

To install the theme, all you need to do is just create a folder / directory called my-templates in your bbpress directory and then upload the reaperbbflex folder into that directory and then you just need to select it from the design tab under administration dashboard :)

How to Compile Mangos and Scriptdev2 for Windows

Reaper-X — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 05:17:33 +0000

Based on the number of emails i’ve received it seems that many people want to learn on how to compile mangos by themself. And of course compiling mangos by yourself is a must especially if you want to have the latest update for your mangos server (beside if you want to run your own public server you should know this first) and so i decided that perhaps it’d be better for me to create a guide on how to compile mangos manually so you can always get your mangos installation up to date

As a side note, actually this guide has been requested since a loooong time ago, but since i already have Microsoft Visual Studio Professional Edition already installed and downloading Microsoft Visual Studio Express is going to take a while for my slow connection, i decided to postpone it. Also as another note, this guide was made on a fresh installation of Windows XP SP3 without any other programs installed other than visual studio express and tortoise svn, which means that if it works on a freshly installed machine without any additional runtime installed, then on a live computer it should work too (unless your windows system files got corrupted of course)

And so here are the steps ..

Getting the Subversion (SVN) Client for Windows

You have two choice here, the first one is you can get a command line svn client (i’m using this) or if you prefer to have graphical based svn client you can also use it, but no matter which svn client you choose (cli or gui), i’ll write the steps below. So feel free to choose which svn client you prefer :)

Using Command Line SVN Client

1. First you need to grab the Subversion Command Line SVN Client from

http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/41686/svn-1.4.6-setup.exe

(actually there’s a more recent version of subversion but since you need to register in order to download the file i’m choose the above link instead)

2. Now all you have to do is just install it into the location of your choice

3. In order to test whether the SVN has been installed properly and you can run it anywhere from the command line, now you need to open command line and then type svn. And if you get the same message as shown below, that means subversion have been installed properly on your system

Using Tortoise SVN GUI Client

1. First you need to download the client from (don’t forget to choose the correct release for your system)

http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads

2. Install it and when prompted to restart your computer choose yes to restart your computer (or no if you plan on manually restarting your computer at later time)

3. Now if you can see below image when you right click anywhere that means TortoiseSVN has been installed properly

Getting Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008

Because we have finished setting up the subversion client on our computer, all we have to do next is download the C++ Compiler itself in order to compile mangos and scriptdev2. And you can choose to download the ISO file or the Web installation setup file, but since the ISO file is just too big for me to download, i choose to use the Web Install method and only install the C++ Compiler only without anything else

1. Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express from

http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/

Note: The iso filesize is around 800MB (if i recall correctly) while the Visual C++ Web Install is just around 87MB only

2. And then install it, and don’t worry it’ll take a while for the install process to finish

Download Mangos Source code and Scripdev2 Source code from their SVN Repository

After finished setting up the tools we need to compile mangos and scriptdev2, now we need to grab the mangos and scriptdev2 source code itself of course. Follow the steps below to download mangos sourcecode and scriptdev2 sourcecode

Using Commandline Subversion Client

1. Go to the command prompt and change the directory into something else where you want to place your downloaded mangos source code, and in this example the source code would be placed under C:\SVN … see below image for an example on how to do this

What the above command does is, first it change the directory into the root directory of your drive and then create the svn directory and then go directly inside it … but just in case you can’t see the above image because you block the referer here’s the command

cd \ && md SVN && cd svn

2. Now you need to checkout the mangos source code first, and to do this you just need to type below command from the command prompt

svn co http://mangos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk mangos

Note: the above command means it’ll checkout the source code to a mangos directory (automatically created), but if you want different directory name you can change mangos at the end of the command into something else, and you need to do this only once (unless you want to redownload the mangos source code again after you’ve downloaded it before)

2.1 Now if you want to update your mangos source code in the future, all you have to do is just type below command from your SVN Directory

cd c:\SVN svn up mangos

or if you want to update it from anywhere in the command prompt

svn up C:\SVN\mangos

Note: If you change the mangos directory before, you need to change the above value into your mangos source code directory too

3. Now after finished downloading mangos source code, you need to download the scriptdev2 source code too, and you can do this by typing

cd C:\SVN svn co http://scriptdev2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scriptdev2 scriptdev2

3.1 And to update the scriptdev2 in the future you just need to use the same command like updating mangos source

cd c:\SVN svn up scriptdev2

Additional Note: You can always create a batch file to make updating your mangos / scriptdev source code easy by simply executing that batch file instead of typing the above command whenever you want to update mangos, but just make sure to use the full path if you want to use a batch file

Using TortoiseSVN GUI

1. The first thing you need of course it checkout the mangos source code from it’s svn repository and to do this you just need to right click on a folder of your choice and choose checkout to grab the source code, see below image for example

2. And another window will pop out, and all you have to do is just insert the mangos svn address and scriptdev2 svn address as shown below

3. And to update it in the future … you just need to go into the SVN directory (in this example C:\SVN) and then right click on each folder (mangos and or scriptdev2) and then choose svn update

Compiling Mangos

After finished with all the preparation above, now we need to compile mangos and this can be done simply by going into where you placed your mangos source code, and go inside win directory and open the mangosdVC90.sln file. In this example because i put the mangos source code in C:\SVN\mangos the full path is C:\SVN\mangos\win\mangosdVC90.sln … but to make things easier to read here’s a detailed process on how it’s done

1. Go to Win directory under your mangos source code folder and then open mangosdVC90.sln and Visual Studio Express will open automatically

2. Now all you have to do is just change the Build Output from Debug to Release and then choose Build from the toolbar and then choose Clean Solution and finally choose Rebuild Solution and wait until it’s done … see below image for example

Compiling Scriptdev2

After finished compiling mangos now we need to compile scriptdev2 to enhance mangos … here’s a detailed explanation on how to do it

1. Copy the entire scriptdev2 directory into your mangos bindings directory, and in this example the full path of mangos bindings directory would be C:\SVN\mangos\src\bindings and the final results would be C:\SVN\mangos\src\bindings\scriptdev2 and get into that directory

2. Now you just need to open scriptVC90.sln and Visual Studio will be launched automatically

3. Do the same process like mangos and that is … change the Build Output into Release -> Clean Solution -> Rebuild Solution and … done

Final Output

You can see the final output of your mangos build in your mangos source code directory under bin\win32_release … in this example the full path would be C:\SVN\mangos\bin\win32_release … and finally don’t forget to copy the mangosd.conf.in and realmd.conf.in and scriptdev2.conf from mangos directory (just use your windows search function) into the same directory as your mangos release directory and remove .in extension (so it’ll result in mangosd.conf, realmd.conf, and scriptdev2.conf)

As a side note, you can always change compiler option as you like it

Miscellaneous Information

Using Custom Patches

So we are done with compiling mangos, but what if you found a great patch somewhere and want to include it into your mangos source code? … well there are two ways to do this … and of course the first way of doing this is via command line (i’m using this), while the second way to do this is via Tortoise SVN Graphical User Interface (GUI)

And in this example the patch is called reaper-test.patch (but you can use a file with .diff extension too)

Using The Command Line Client to Apply Patch

1. Grab the unix patch tools that is already ported for Windows system from below link (download the complete package without sources unless you know what you’re doing) and then install it

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm

2. After finished with the installation process now you need to setup an environment variable path so you can run the patch command from anywhere in the command prompt, to do this you need to open Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Tab -> Environment Variable -> Edit the system PATH as shown below

Note: If you use another directory to install the patch command, make sure to adjust that to your installation path

3. Put the patch file into the root of your mangos source directory (in this example it would be C:\svn\mangos)

4. After finished setting up everything now we can test patching file manually from the command line using this command

patch -p0 patch-filename

but please note depending on how the patch file created you need to adjust the directory level by changing the -p0 into -pnumber … depending on the directory level itself but in most case you just need to put the patch into the root of mangos source code and then use the above command :)

5. Now you just need to recompile mangos in order for the patch to be applied to the mangos code

Using TortoiseSVN GUI to Apply Patch

1. Put the patch file into your mangos source code directory

2. Right click on the patch filename and choose to Apply Patch, and when another window displayed you just need to right click on the filename listed at the left window and choose Patch All

3. Now you need to recompile mangos in order for the patch to be applied

Finally …

That’s all for compiling mangos on windows system, and hopefully now you can compile your own mangos release without problem. And i do hope that you can understand this guide. But please keep this in mind, this is a guide on how to compile mangos and scriptdev2 manually, you still need to configure mangos in order for it to work. And as a final note, back then actually i already wrote a guide on how to configure mangos manually just in case you want to see it too (btw since that guide is created before i created my own repack so perhaps that is a little bit outdated although not too outdated, and ooh i can always rewrite it again if anyone wants me to do it)

and hopefully i didn’t forget / miss anything ..

Do you still need to use Megaupload Proxy to bypass Megaupload?

Reaper-X — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 01:02:21 +0000

I think most of you who lives in a 3rd world country knew that Megaupload probably the strangest file sharing website ever on the web because most of the time you won’t be able to download from their website because of the slot limitation given to your country even if the file you’re going to download is your own file that is just uploaded a few minutes ago … and of course i experienced this myself too. But what do you need in order to bypass the slot limitation of megaupload?

The first way of doing this is using a proxy to bypass megaupload limitation, and of course i’ve used it in the past although it’s been quite a while before i switched to another method

The second way and probably the easiest way to bypass megaupload slot limit of course is by installing Megaupload Toolbar into your browser, and it is legal of course unless you’re just like me and don’t like their toolbar after testing it on a virtual machine, and that means you need to get another trick up your sleeve in order to bypass megaupload

The third way of doing this (and currently i’m using this trick too) is simply by using a greasemonkey script that makes your browser pretends to have megaupload toolbar installed (megaupload , but since that script can only be used on Firefox and Opera based browser, i don’t know on how to do this if you are using Internet Explorer as your browser (or if you really want to use the greasemonkey script all you have to do is just download opera and or firefox and only use it to download files from megaupload) .. and of course this is the method that i’m going to explain instead of the above two ;)

Step on how to do it:

If you are using Firefox:

Install the Greasemonkey extension for your firefox browser and then restart your browser – Link
Download the Megaupload Cookie Injection Script – Link (the filename is megaupload-ck-inject.user.js)
When you see this message just choose to install it … or you can also take a look at the script source if you want … and done

If you are using Opera:

Download the Megaupload Cookie Injection Script – Link (the filename is megaupload-ck-inject.user.js)
Make a directory somewhere for script so Opera can load it as userjs and move that file into the newly created directory (for example C:\OperaUserJS)
Now go to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced Tab -> Content -> Javascript Options … and then adjust the Opera userjs directory accordingly as shown at below image for an example and your done :)

Now you can bypass the megaupload slot limitation for your country, so why do you need to use a megaupload proxy if you use this? (well perhaps this method will become obsolete in the future when there are too many users using this method but at least for now i can still use this method to bypass megaupload) :P

But as a side note, if you’re using UserJS and / or greasemonkey script i’d suggest you to take a look into the script source first because if you’re installing a script from some unknown source you’ll be in trouble later

And finally to those who are wondering how the script looks like here’s the code (note: i didn’t create this script, so full credits goes to WinterMute for creating this)

// Megaupload Cookie // (c) Wintermute 2007 // // -------------------------------------------------------------------- // // This is a Greasemonkey user script. // // To install, you need Greasemonkey: http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/ // Then restart Firefox and revisit this script. // Under Tools, there will be a new menu item to "Install User Script". // Accept the default configuration and install. // // To uninstall, go to Tools/Manage User Scripts, // select "Megaupload Cookie Inject", and click Uninstall. // // -------------------------------------------------------------------- // // ==UserScript== // @name Megaupload slot limit hack // @namespace http://www.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~hosel4am // @description allows you to bypass megaupload slot limit without installing their toolbar // @include *megaupload* // ==/UserScript== function createCookie(name,value,days) { if (days) { var date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000)); var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString(); } else var expires = ""; document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/"; } createCookie('megauploadtoolbar_visibility', 'yes', 7); createCookie('megauploadtoolbar_id', '197A9F07D8724E438DEBE1C11EBBE405', 7);

Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Problem with XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver?

Reaper-X — Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000

Copyright www.reaper-x.com | Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Problem with XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver? by Reaper-X

So a few months ago i bought myself an xbox 360 wireless adapter because i got tired of playing various games using standard wired keyboard (although i don’t play a lot so i often not plugged in the receiver into the usb port). And of course it works fine until today when i tried to plug it again into the usb port because recently i just changed my keyboard and mouse into using a wireless keyboard and mouse (Logitech MX5000 Keyboard and Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse) that is using Bluetooth technology just like the xbox wireless receiver adapter. And the problem is the Xbox 360 wireless controller can’t be detected by the xbox wireless adapter although the xbox wireless adapter already listed on device manager

At first i thought probably there’s a frequency / signal interference somewhere because both of them are using bluetooth. But after a little bit searching around the net and found this topic at avsforum.com, one of the poster there says:

@CyberScott

Nope! I use a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. No interference problems.

So that means the problem lies elsewhere, although other posters there says:

@pastishe

I was one of the people that had issues with this.

I had a bluetooth dongle for mouse and keyboard, usb hard drive and a wireless receiver for 2 wireless ms 360 pads.

I used to get intermittent problems, so I borrowed a pci usb adapter (as they’re not all that easy to find nowadays) and plugged the wireless receiver into that and everything was ok.

It could just have been my motherboard or 2 ms wireless pads is just pushing it?

I’d advice using the pads without a pci or powered usb hub just to test and if you get problems like dropouts then consider a pci card or powered usb hub.

BTW - The 360 pads are great, i’d recommend getting a couple with some rechargeable batteries.

And in my case since my motherboard only have 1 pci slot (i don’t know whether USB PCI Express card exist or not) and currently i don’t have any external powered usb hub and i’m a little bit desperate on playing my new Need for Speed Pro Street on pc using the 360 controller … i decided to look into my system a little bit further

1. The first test is … by restarting the computer with only the Logitech bluetooth receiver plugged and then plug the xbox 360 wireless adapter after getting into windows and the result is although the xbox receiver is listed on device manager, the xbox 360 controller isn’t detected

Device Manager

Bluetooth status

2. The second test is … by plugging the Xbox 360 wireless controller and the logitech bluetooth receiver at the same time and then restart the computer with both of them plugged. And the result is the xbox 360 controller can be detected but both mouse and keyboard isn’t functioning, but since i’m always have my wired p/s 2 keyboard and mouse attached (because i still don’t trust wireless keyboard yet thanks to my previous experience with 2 logitech wireless product) i don’t need to use the restart button on the cpu … and surprisingly if both of them are plugged at the same time the device manager doesn’t detect the logitech bluetooth receiver

Device Manager

Game Controller Status

Since i’m not sure on whether there’s a hardware / software conflict somewhere i can’t blame Microsoft or Logitech … so i try to unplug the logitech bluetooth receiver and then plug it again … and the wireless keyboard and mouse worked again … but with the only exception it isn’t listed on the Bluetooth status (so i’m not sure on whether the keyboard use the passkey or not)

So if you currently experiecing the same problem like me (and currently desperate on playing game using your 360 controller), perhaps you should try the above … as for the future … i think i’m going to try getting myself an external powered usb hub as stated by pastishe over at avsforum and also because there’s also someone that is experiencing this issues and also receive the same answer from logitech staff directly (link)

Quoted from the link above:

I sent off a support request to Logitech that stated:

Everything is detailed in our post on your forum that has been unresolved for 8+ months:
http://forums.logitech.com/logitech/board/message?board.id=hardware_mice&thread.id=5085

Summary: SetPoint thinks the Xbox 360 controller is a mouse and resultantly the real mouse stops functioning and in the process, disables the Xbox 360 controller.

Please read forum for all the details, otherwise, I will just copy/paste the entire thread into my next message.

In summary, I need a resolution for the problem so that I can once again use my Logitech Mouse, SetPoint and the Xbox controller.

This is the response Logitech sent:

From your e-mail, I understand that you having an enquire with your XBox 360. I understand how inconvenient this issue is for you and I will do my best to assist you.

Please check either you have any USB hub or USB PCI card available. If yes, please try connect the Xbox 360 receiver to the hub or PCI card and please connect the mouse directly to the motherboard.

nForce 15.17 and GeForce 175.16 Driver has been released

Reaper-X — Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000

Just when i thought that Nvidia aren’t going to release a new driver for nForce based motherboard chipset and for their Geforce 8600 GT (except for using their beta driver) … it seems i was wrong about that because today i just noticed that there’s a new nForce Driver 15.17 for my AMD nForce 590 SLI Chipset and also GeForce Driver 175.16 (although i have to admit i’ve been using this for a while since it’s still in beta stage)

The supported nForce chipsets for the new 15.17 Driver are from nForce4 based chipset until nForce7 based chip

While the 175.16 GeForce Driver supports GeForce product range from GeForce FX, 6, 7, 8, and 9 series GPUs including GeForce 9800 GX2, GeForce 9800 GTX, GeForce 9600 GT, GeForce 9600 GSO, GeForce 8300, GeForce 8200/ nForce 730a, GeForce 8100/NVIDIA nForce 720a

So if your current motherboard chipset is powered by Nvidia nForce and / or your VGA card is powered by GeForce series you should install this right away (make sure to uninstall your previous driver first thought or it’ll cause conflict) :)

Download:

nForce Driver version 15.17:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_winxp_15.17.html
GeForce Driver version 175.16:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.16_whql.html

Update:

I don’t know what Nvidia thinks when creating the WHQLed version of GeForce Driver 175.16 because the beta version is much better and that’s because the Beta Version (non WHQL-ed) version allows me to choose different resolutions when i choose to output the display into HDTV instead of just 480p, 576p, 720p, and 1080i as shown below (taken from the beta version of 175.16)

And in the end … i choose to roll back to the Beta Driver 175.16

2.4.2 Maps:

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!)

Copyright www.reaper-x.com | Reaper MaNGOS 5931 with ScriptDev 412|Server Compatible With 2.4.2 (UDB ONLY!) by Oatman

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!

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.
