Time for another Mangos release again … and this time, instead of creating one mangos release, i have decided to also release my other compiled mangos release which is using Auction House Bot and Jail Patch that is designed to those who love to try out something new in their mangos [COLOR=#0066CC ! important][COLOR=#0066CC ! important]server[/COLOR][/COLOR] or in other words, a more experienced mangos user
but let’s keep that aside shall we ? because i’m going to write that one on that post release and in this post i’m only going to give you some intruction on how to get your private wow server running using the pure / clean compiled mangos without any additional patches included
As a note this release uses Project Silvermoon [COLOR=#0066CC ! important][COLOR=#0066CC ! important]Database[/COLOR][/COLOR] Revision 18.5 (Not updated except for the core update) and Unified Database 0.8.1 Revision 325 (Updated) and only work with WoW 2.2.3 Client and tested with WoW 2.2.3 with TBC Expansion Pack installed, so if you’re not using TBC expansion pack, you’ll need to disable the expansion pack in mangosd.conf in order to work with your WoW 2.2.3
Just like before, here are the steps :
Requirements :
1. MySQL and it’s guide on how to install it properly
2. Mangos with Database
Update: Reaper Mangos 4703 has been released
Optional (if you don’t have these installed already) :
- Reaper Mangos 4651 with Scriptdev2 151 Dual Database Reaper Mangos 4651 with Scriptdev2 151 Dual Database | 14.4 MB | Rapidshare 14.4 MB | Rapidshare
- Reaper Mangos 4651 with Scriptdev2 151 Dual Database Reaper Mangos 4651 with Scriptdev2 151 Dual Database | 14.4 MB | Megaupload
Mangos Fresh Install :
- .NET Runtime – For maximum compatibility with any programs in the future, i recommend you to install .NET Runtime 1.1, .NET Runtime 2.0 and .NET Runtime 3.0 (and don’t forget to read the requirements over at Microsoft website)
Important Note : Below steps is designed to those who are installing mangos for the first time or upgrading from Reaper Mangos 4629, if you’re upgrading from 4602 and below you’ll need to upgrade the character table and realmd first using the menu provided on reaper eazy mangos
Not too Important Note : The screenshots used below is not updated but the [COLOR=#0066CC ! important][COLOR=#0066CC ! important]installation [COLOR=#0066CC ! important]process[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] is still the same of course and oh one more thing, i assume that you’ve extracted the self extracting archive
1. Extract the DBC Files, Maps, and VMaps from your world of warcraft client
2. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat inside the reaper-eazy-mangos directory / folder, and you’ll be see something like this, and then all you have to do is just write the full path to your [COLOR=#0066CC ! important][COLOR=#0066CC ! important]mysql[/COLOR][/COLOR] installation directory (where mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe can be found)
3. Now you just need to choose option number 1 to install the database as shown on below image, and when prompted for your mysql root password, don’t forget to write the correct password … and then when prompted to choose the database, feel free to choose the Project Silvermoon database or Unified Database so you can compare it
4. After finished with the database installation, now you need to choose option number 4 (required or else you’ll see the mangosd.exe close immediately when you run it) to adjust the datadir and adjust the exp rate, and drop rate
5. Now after finished with all the above process, you’ll need to go inside your World of Warcraft installation directory (for example C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft) and then open the realmlist.wtf using [COLOR=#0066CC ! important][COLOR=#0066CC ! important]notepad[/COLOR][/COLOR] and …
replace :
set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.comwith :
set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com
set realmlist 127.0.0.1save it and close realmlist.wtf file
6. Now you just need to run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe from your mangos directory and then the next step would be creating username of course by typing create username password inside the mangosd window as shown on below image as an example … followed by typing setbc username 1 … so you can choose Blood Elv and Draenei
lastly you just need to type setgm username 3 so you’ll have the GM Power, and … done !!! congrats … now all you have to do is just login using the username you’ve created before
Upgrading from 4629 Release / switching between silvermoon database and unified database :
1. Choose to backup your character first
2. Choose to install the new database
3. Choose the restore option to restore your character and … done
Note : Since i don’t really know how many people are still using my old release , i assume that most people already upgraded into my previous 4629 release
and here’s my character screenshot
And just in case you didn’t see my previous post, here’s a screenshot of my character riding Nether Drake (note: this is taken using the Unified Database)
and fishing :P
