mangos zero Can i use windows extracted maps and dbc?

[hsoares]

As the question stands, I'm building on Debian 8 and I'd like to know if it's possible to use DBC, maps, mmaps and vmaps extracted through a windows build?

Probably yes. If i'm not wrong Mangosd require that maps must being extracted by same build version.

So if there are not differences on mangosd version you gonna run on Debian and extractor you used on Windows you should be able to use extracted datas.

the answer is... Absolutely yes

The DBC's are blizz's game files and are uses untouched (as modifying them would be illegal)

The Map/Vmap and Mmap files are MaNGOS's own format and can be used independently of where they were extracted since the formats do not change between platforms.

Thank you for your help.

I put the files inside a /data folder inside /etc, and pointed the mangos conf to /data. Will it work? Or does /data need to be in /bin?

[Tuker]

DataDir refers from Running Directory. So if It is in bin, dataDir refer to /bin/<configured_value>

Configuration of DataDir could refer to a Relative or Absolute path, assuming that you installed mangos inside /etc/Mangos/ and your extracted datas are in /etc/Mangos/DataDir/

Following configuration should be fine:

• DataDir="./DataDir"
• DataDir="/etc/Mangos/DataDir"

In case the path is not Absolute (as the 2th example) the directory will be searched inside of Mangos installation directory.

I put the dbc/vmaps/maps/mmaps folders inside bin, etc, bin/data and etc/data and none of them worked. It keeps telling me that it's not there.

/home/root/zero/bin/data/dbc

/home/root/zero/bin/data/maps

/home/root/zero/bin/data/vmaps

/home/root/zero/bin/data/mmaps

shouldn't it work with datadir as /data?

What is the value of your DataDir inside the mangosd.conf file ?

So i think it depends on the way you Writed on the .conf file.
