the last time i got this error it was because i did not open the command prompt in administrator mode

it says can't start because MSVCP100D.dll is missing

when i use the vmapextractor..

i need to fix that but dont know how..

ok, load the vmap_extractor project, then change the pulldown from DEBUG to RELEASE, then rebuild the project.

- That should resolve the MSVCP100D.dll issue

thank you, I have also added it to my stockpile of pages for the merged wiki I am working on

Thanks for this, I have made this a sticky wiki

there is a way to disable it (and actually with quite a bit of work replace it).

it requires adding an entry to your hosts file or blocking an address on the firewall. I can't remember the details as it was 2+ years ago

ok.... that may be it.... try this

1) Open up a command prompt and navigate to the WOW folder you want to extract from

2) type vmapextractor.exe -d "W:\\World of Warcraft\\Data"

- You will need to change the path to the match your installation

This should run for you now !

I have just tried it here and it works for me for all five versions of wow - I have the latest version is properly installed so to extract any other versions - I have to use the -d option

Sorry, MOP is WOW: Mists of Pandaria

The question I meant to ask was do you, or have you ever had wow installed correctly anywhere else other than the location you are trying to extract from ?

Sending VMAPS, MMAPS, DBC's is illegal

For now, until you can get a client that works, you can always switch off vmaps in the mangos.conf file

I've just had a thought.... do you have MOP installed elsewhere on your pc ?

when i try vmapextractor.exe it says error with MSVCP100D.dll missing ?

Rebuild the vmapextract using release rather than debug build

Thank you for your continued support

ok... first off.... ad.exe doesn't create the vmaps

if you look at the folder "server\\contrib\\extractor_binary"

Copy all of these into you WOW folder

now if you have a git shell (or git bash as above), try running Extract_resources.sh now

please see the guides in http://getmangos.eu/bb/forum/50/wiki-articles/

Made it a Sticky and moved to the Wiki area

Already on my hit list of the recommended addons for Mangos

- I have been sidetracked over the last 2 weeks with different things (RL, work, legal stuff, coding and other stuff), but I want to perform another update to the website soon containing these links

Thank you for this

I am looking at including this into the Mangos Wiki

First off Instamark http://jrham.es/instantmark/

This application allows you view you page as it would be rendered

and Secondly Dingus http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus

Attempts to convert an html page into markdown

From MegaSus:

I released my project CharImport a while ago, it allows you to copy accounts and characters from one database to another.

You might want to check that out. It works cross emu and should also work with mangos2, however I did not test it with mangoszero.

It was actually designed exactly for such cases.

If you need help, simply contact me.

The following link provides the basics of the markdown syntax which is used by github

http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/basics

Yes

This should become a Wiki article, moving to staging area

I have some good news on that front, Playerbot will be back for Mangos

The new website will have a tab which is designed to promote 3rd Party Addons / Mods which can be used with MaNGOS

Which ones would you suggest be added ?

All the old repos will be shut down soon, we are planning to do so in a couple of weeks after the new website goes live

- so that when people come looking for the missing repos, they will find a definitive answer for the location of the new ones.
