Too many ways for installing....

[Delta07]

Hello all

I tried to simply install a mangos zero server on my ubuntu 14.04 today, but obviously i'm lost into all those ways to have a working install.

In fact, i recieved an email today for the 20th release, and i would try it.

My problem is how to get game asset, because on the wiki, the link is dead, and when i tried to find the tool in server/contrib/extractor (like is mentioned here :https://www.getmangos.eu/wiki/Installation%20Guides/General/Extracting-Game-Assets.md) , it dont exist. Some source code exists with the tool, but apparently, the source code isn t the same

So im a bit lost, because i found many links and many differents soure code to install...

Could someone help me and tell me which way to follow

Thanks a lot !

Hi Delta07, Due to the massive amount of changes made to Zero in the last few months, the guides are a little out of date !

- We are hoping to address this real soon.

Since the guides were written, the buiding of the extraction tools and SD2 builds are now included in the main build but are optional.

So that we can guide you better, Are you using the Cmake GUI or command line ?

[Delta07]

Tks for the answer. I tried to do all the job in command line.

On ubuntu i can compile and extract asset game. I didnt try to run the game, but i tried t make a debian VM for export it, but it didnt work ( libace pb apparently and i cant resolve it)

So i will try do it on my ubuntu laptop today, just for trying. I hope i will be able to mix the differents tuto

Some tuto have Database, some not, some have some command, some not. I will try to uderstand what i m doing now ^^

But i dont uderstand, now i have just to compile THIS https://github.com/mangoszero/server/releases ?

I think my problem is that i dont understand wich part i have to do and why ?

- Asset for graphic ?

- DB for quest and item ?

- mangos for source code and manage both ?

Sorry for my poor english....

This guide seems to be the most correct:

Well it works

I didnt read your link for the moment, i will do and try to install on a debian with this solution.

For the moment, on ubuntu, it works. Have to modif some sql for the db and be aware of some error.

If i succeed to do this, i will report step by step here maybe.

I have some question

- Did the gm or admin commands work ? I found some of them on google but no one work, maybe bad syntax.

- What is missing now ? Script ? pathfinding ? Boss ?

Thanks a lot for your time antz

Scripts are integrated into the core, no need to install anything but the server itself Pathfinding etc is handled by maps, mmaps and vmaps, so if you extracted those you should be good to go there. Bosses etc are part of the database. If you installed the database correctly, you should have everything there.

For a list of commands, type .com ingame

Well, amazing job !

So i successfully installed a working server on a Debian VM. Principally i had followed the VM install, with some problemes.

- You have to make the extract asset AFTER the compiling sources, because tools are compiled with.

- I got a compiling error like here, but the problem was solved. I dont know if comment some extract line will be a probleme later...

- There are some ambigous name about realm and realmd in the *.conf files, be sure you have same names with the Database.

- When you are launching ./realmd and ./magosd, you could have some error due to bad location of asset, so redifine the path into mangosd.conf. You could have a sql error too, just read and play the *.sql that it want.

- In the database, you have to change the ip of the realm table to the real ip of your server, localhost or 127.0.0.1 wont work, you wont be able to connect to the realm.

After that, it should work

Thanks for the help, and sorry for my english

Glad to hear it is working! I'll take a look at the issues you mentioned, and this should all be covered by the new compile guides we're working on.

[Delta07]

Little precision about the VM install, a line about install dependencies is in double, and its missing mysql install. So this line

sudo apt-get install -y libace-dev libbz2-dev libmysqlclient-dev libncurses5-dev libreadline-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev

should be replaced by

sudo apt-get install apache2 cmake cmake-qt-gui git g++ libace-ssl-dev libace-dev libapache2-mod-php5 libbz2-dev libmysql++-dev libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev libtbb-dev make mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server php5-mysql libtbb-dev libtbb2 zlib1g-dev vim libtbb-dev

this come from the link of @antz

Thank you, I have applied the changes to the wiki

Perhaps someone should post up an installer script on Linux for MaNGOS
