Almost ready.

You need to extract the maps/vmaps and mmaps

As I wrote in my post: "from my 1.12.1 (5875) client the maps and vmaps". Is it possible I took the wrong client? The whole proces of extracting the maps went whitout a problem.

Is there a problem with EU and/or US version? I think the version number is correct? Is it?

How can I check what version my mangos version needs from his client?

Pit

Nowhere on the internet you can find a good helpfull page that sxplains the how and why around this item, mmaps, vmaps, dps, etc....

A lot of how to install the server, mangos and database but only a little maps....

Pit

What mangos revision are you using? You simply compile the tools, place them in your wow directory and run the .sh script. This extracts DBC's, maps, vmaps and mmaps. Copy those folders into your server folder and run the server executables. That's all there is to it, really

:-) yes, I am using Linux also as desktop....... And server is on school, I am a teacher ICT, I want to use it as a project to practice mysql. servermanagement etc. The client I have is at home (have to go to school also but for now.....)

Pit

And for the tools, I do not got a "tools" directory but only the tools "mangosd map-extractor mmap-generator realmd vmap-assembler vmap-extractor". So, I do have a problem.

Using the tool map-extractor gif me the following:

mangos-zero DBC & map (version z1.3) extractor

Extracting client database files... 0 files extracted.

Extracting maps...

Reading maps from Map.dbc ... Fatal error: Could not read Map.dbc!

Pit

I get exactly the same diagnostic from map-extractor when running it in the build directory instead of the game client directory, where the client binaries wow.exe and launcher.exe lies. In case of different operating system for the server and client, you might copy the "Data" directory tree from client to the tools directory (where the programs are built). Then map-extractor will find the required MPQ files in ./Data/ - its what I just tried, though under single OS. It should result in 158 *.dbc files and 2429 *.map files.

Oke, now copying 5.2 gig at 125kb......... 10 hour and I can test your advice.

Pit

Ive already got those files extracted and ready for download here if you want them Data Files or if you want i setup a whole mangoszero server here with all the files ready to go mangoszero server

Ive already got those files extracted and ready for download here if you want them

Well, thank you, but I have this data already. Like any "developer", I used to do such extraction

BTW the movement maps (mmaps/ folder) are not required to run the server. They provide pathfinding capability. In their absense, pathfinding should be turned off in mangosd.conf via mmap.enabled option.

If you encounter any other problem during setting up the server copy, let us know plz.

I used Arkadus his data files and........ Yes! Running, Thx Arka.

Tomorow at school I can test a client.

Pit

Yes, working. My problem now is no creatures. The creature database is empty. I have used the characters.sql file with came with the server source.

What else do I need?

Pit

Well you need to download the database from github.com/mangoszero. I would use branch 20 since its newer and has better accuracy in the stats. You will also need branch 20 of the server aswell though. So when you use git bash type this-

git clone https://github.com/mangoszero/database.git -b Rel20 --recursive

git clone https://github.com/mangoszero/server.git -b Rel20 --recursive

then you'll need to input the databases into yours.

Downloaded but not applyed, I use the 0.19 server and using the 0.20 database release make me have to edit my software????

Arkadus, is it the case, if I use these "data files" from you, I use the database from your last post and build a new realmd and mangosd from the link out of your last post that nothing can go wrong?

Briefly: yes.

A longer explanation. The "data files" needs to be reextracted very rarely, namely after an update of both core and extractor sources and respective announce from the project maintainers.

The development consists in a constantly changing both "server" and "database" repositories. Most of the database changes touch only content of the tables; if you miss some of these, you lose no more than a bit of functionality (script, item so on). But few database changes touch the structure of tables, and core ("server") should be avare of it, i.e. should be updated to the corresponding version. In other case the core will not start, telling you about wrong DB version.

The core and DB versions are related by a name. In each of the three DB, it is the name of the last column of "db_version" (realmd_db_version, character_db_version) table named like "required_20..." for Rel20 branch. In the core, the names are hardcoded into this file:

https://github.com/mangoszero/server/blob/Rel20/src/shared/revision_sql.h

These should not be changed unless you exactly know what you are doing. So, you need a corresponding database version to your core version.

The simplest way to get corresponding versions from both repos is fetching the head of any branch (master, Rel19, Rel20) with the same name.

Update.

I have cleaned my server. I have downloaded the stuff Arkadus kindly profided the links for.

So, data, database and server.

Compiled server again with cmake, make and make install.

Dropt the data and populated the database.

Corrected the .conf files. And run.

Oops needed update. Done! Run 100%.

Working is always easy with the right tools. :-)

Glad to hear you are up and running
