Is this product no longer supported? Comments are years old. Installation guides are broken and links dead. With a broken guide and by comments it looks like it has been abandoned for some time then the product is dead for new users wanting to install it following the official guide. OpenSSL is just one example as its a prerequisite on your install guide but those links are dead and EXE installers are no longer available anywhere as only ZIPs are available which means the whole section for this that shows steps using an installer for 1.1.1 serves no purpose. As a pre requisite that is broken then the guide is broken. What is the replacement for Mangos for new installations if this is discontinued? Cheers.

Mangos is still active and things move on at a fast pace. OpenSSL is now on version 3.x. If you use easybuild, it can download a confirmed working version of OpenSSL for you.

Since everyone at Mangos are volunteers, we don't always have the time to keep everything upto date. This is where we need the community to help us out.

Mangos Four is a development only build - Currently unable to get past the login screen.

So unless you are eager to work on helping to develop it, I would skip trying to use it

That is the current issue I have been struggling with. It's not extracting the files OR returning any sort of error.

I believe it's something in the stormlib routines that's at fault

@Hochdeutscher Consider this your first and only warning !!

Firstly, everyone here at Mangos are volunteers who contribute in their spare time and we all appreciate that.

Secondly, we all have real lives to lead and jump in and out of mangos when we can.

Thirdly, you may have been at mangos before I took the helm so i'll set things out for you. Old mangos was a complete toxic cesspit where the devs involved had ego's the size of a small moon and willing to stab each other in the back for a bit of street cred. All of them are no longer here and most are no longer involved with the emulation scene (perhaps they have now actually grown up).

If you worked for a company and called the boss an idiot to his face, how long do you think you would last. Seriously grow up.

I am committed to Mangos being a place where people are free to learn, share ideas and contribute to something bigger than they are.

Any Toxic and nasty behavior will be dealt with. If you never choose to return, that is your choice.

@Rochet2@Foereaper Is this something you are working on ?

I'm not an expert with Unix, but check your memory and pagesize as this often causes this type of error 

Have you compiled the source from the latest github repository ?
The version you are running is almost 2 years old.

@tutengjun Can you attach a screenshot of your problem ?

The last few years have been hard for MaNGOS.

The pandemic hurt us all, but on top of that we've also had the following:

Losing Necrovoice (our resident DB expert) was a huge lose - RL issues meant that he had to stand down until further notice.
Losing our remaining two full time devs was a huge loss - Again RL issues meant they both had to stand down permently.

I also had huge personal losses in 2022 which resulted in me having to step back from active duty for 6 months. I offered to officially step down but my two colleagues and fellow trustees of Mangos didn't want me to.

So for 2023, where does this lead Mangos ?

Here's what I know !

• I'm just about back onboard, as is MadMax (the other trustee remains anonymous for now)
• We have no full time Mangos core devs
• We have no full time Mangos DB devs

So the situation sounds grim, is mangos finished ?

We are in better shape than after the massive hack / takedown attempt just under 10 years ago.

Back then, we had no dev team, no admin team and had lost all the code repositories, In ten years we rebuilt and now have stronger cores than we ever did.

Mangos is a community project and as such belongs to each and every one of you. Madmax and I are only the guardians who look after it and protect it,

I love mangos and will do what I can to see it prevail. To that end, I ask anyone who can to contribute and help us make it better.

@Elmsroth @Meltie Any Ideas ?

Hi @AriathTheSage first off the git commands are wrong...

From the top level of the source code folder type the following:

git submodule init

git submodule update 

This will initialise and populate the missing submodules, this will then allow you to use cmake to build mangos

@Clawwd from the mangosd console, can you type ```info``` or from a running client type ```.info```

- This should hopefully provide you with some information

@My Channel My understanding is that Mangos does work on Raspberry Pi's

The playerbots issue is a separate issue.

@curatio Just seen your messages about the crash, have you tried disabling warden ?
- I've seen similar messages on windows when using the client on my laptop.

@lauren_eily @fulton97.dm

Access denied for user 'mangos'@'localhost'

This error is a permission issue.
Specifically, user mangos@localhost does not have permission to access the database

To test this, change your .conf files to use the user root and the password used when installing mysql.

As I side note, I moved from Mysql to MariaDB earlier this year and have never looked back. MySQL 8.x is an utter mess.

@ReefyMaPupset mangosTwo (WOTLK) does not currently have bots enabled.

I'm also unaware of a working addon/patch that allows this - although i'm happy to be corrected.
- I would suggest contacting the author of the source and asking them, we don't have the source code to even attempt an answer.

@ReefyMaPupset Repacks from other projects are not supported here, i would suggest contacting the author of the repack for help.

The issue is not necessarily the client, but rather the server code.

Try obtaining the Chinese client which is build 6141 and I believe supports UTF8 and see how you get on.

In the realm account table, what value do you have for the column expansion for your account.

You need to copy the listed dll's from the openssl folder (normally c:/open-ssl xx) to the folder with mangosd.exe

MangosSharp Database

Sorry for the delay in replying.

Sadly, MangosThree is not in a good place.....
Easybuild and the MangosThree are stuck on the Rel21 build system
MangosZero, One and Two are on Rel22

The bug you mentioned has been fixed on Rel22, but i'm unable to retro-fix it on Easybuild for Rel21

Can I hazard a guess that you are running a non-English OS ?
- This bug is caused by the regional settings of the PC being set to non-English when the cmake version number is checked.

The original check was checking the version number of cmake.exe against 3.19. However on non-English systems, this is presented as 3,19.
Comparing 3.19 against 3,19 causes the crash.

A quick workaround is to switch the regional settings to English and perform a build, then switch back afterwards.
- You normally only need to generate the visual studio solution file once anyway.

Hope this helps.

"LIBEAY32.dll was not found" means that the openssl dll's are missing from your server.

You built the server with Openssl 1.0.x and so you need to place the dll into the same folder as mangosd.exe

This fix has now been applied to both MangosZero and MangosOne

thank you for your input on that.

I believe another user has reported the attacking bug

@tinytomcruise - Are you running a Windows or Linux server ?
