[GUIDE] Run a Mangos 2.4.2 server in 3 steps with the noobpack by 711

[akeysiempre]

How can I delete my World of Warcraft folder? its saying it's in use by another perswon or program, which it isn't

[Sithius]

How to fix the Offline problem:

I tried some things and this is what I did to make it work.
First of all I realized I didn't drag out the map folder when I extracted the maps with ad.exe from the WoW directory so that may be it.
You can simply drag out the map folder and use ad.exe again.
But instead of starting it with restarter I start it like this aswell

MySql
Realm
Mangos

Hope this fixes it for you guys having a problem with that

Thanks for the guide aswell 711 it's the best guide I've ever seen on my days of Mmowned.

All I can say is...

/grovel

This repack went as smoothe as butter for me. Thank you so very much. I do have two questions though..

**Puts on his n00b hat**

Ahem... How do I change the login / passwords already established (0,1,2,3)?

And... Am I able to add say a mangos funpack or other established DB? If so, how? (ok, that might be counted as a third question... :P)

Thank you for any advice, and thank you again for this noobpack!

+rep for you!

[Krushiev]

Because I can't reply to PM's yet...

Thanks 711!

Hi, i have downloaded your repack and have got it to work.. very smooth

one thing that really annoys me is the quest. Every time i complete a quest it hit level 70, meaning all the ! disappear (grey) in other words. Is there any way where this could be fix so that i can quest along rather then do one quest and bing level 70.. LOL

many thanks

Okay everythin works, but when i make my server public, i made a new account, and when i get into my realm, it gets stuck at "Logging into game server", then dcs back to the select server part of the login process.

I get this stupid errors when I start the mangosd.exe and mostly I cant do anything.

SQL: SELECT MAX(guid) FROM characters
query ERROR: Table 'characters.characters' doesn't exist
SQL: SELECT MAX(id) FROM character_pet
query ERROR: Table 'characters.character_pet' doesn't exist

plus when I enter my SQLyog it says none of the databased in the characters is valid or exists. -.-

Damn, Ad.exe has got a problem, and i can't open the file without a bug

[kenjie]

Downloaded, extracted, copy the file "mapextractor.rar" to my WoW root folder, extracted it, run Ad.exe, waited (I made dinner), copy back the finished map folder back to my mangos folder, executed mysql.bat, executed restarter.exe

Done, works perfect and has also started to look into how to add some items in there. I have found out that is not the most easy thing to do.

Good thing with this release is that if you go .tele gmisland most vendors is there already even if the the token vs tier vendor didnt work... solve that by do following..

.additem (open atlasloot enhanced and pick Tier set or what ever you know wanted) shift+click on the item and press enter... works like a charm.

Also, Brutallus is the ONLY boss in this release in SP that drops an item, trash drops also.

.tele programmer island bla bla something will crash your wow instant.
if you try to logon you will crash again.

Solve this issue by having a crashing wow go to mangosd window type .tele [you player name] stormwind or silvermoon city depending if you horde or allie. then restart you wow and you will be in the new place without crash.



PS. sorry if my english kinda sucks... But I do think you get the point anyway.
