Hey there Noxxion!

MaNGOS (as far as I can see) hasn't changed much in terms of the way it works. You still need to know your way around SQL for the database and MAP/MMAP/VMAP file extractions. (Which are all as simple as blinking your eyes, so to speak)

Installation Guides - can be found here:
https://www.getmangos.eu/wiki/documentation/installation-guides/

In addition, you can also refer to my post on Jerry's topic, on which they asked how to build up a MaNGOS One server (TBC v2.4.3), here:

Principle of setting up the server will be the same for most cores, assuming you work on Linux, that is.

In the event you want it running on Windows, here's your go-to guide:

Should you come across any issues, don't fret to ask!

Hey there Jerry,

Awesome to hear you're still setting up projects for generations to come! :-)

In order to play TBC (v2.4.3), you'll need MaNGOS One. A guide to installing it on Ubuntu 20.04, as far as I can see (in the guide section), is not available.

However, a guide for Ubuntu 21.04 may* suffice, which is found here: https://www.getmangos.eu/wiki/documentation/installation-guides/guideslinux/m2-setup-on-ubuntu-2104-r40013/

The only things you need to do differently from that guide is step 2, as followed:

mkdir ~/mangos/
mkdir ~/mangos/db
cd ~/mangos/db/
mysql
CREATE USER 'mangos'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mangos';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'mangos'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
exit;
git clone https://github.com/mangosone/database.git --recursive
cd database
./InstallDatabases.sh

And step 4, as followed:

cd ~/mangos
git clone https://github.com/mangosone/server.git --recursive
cmake -S ~/mangos/server/ -B ~/mangos/build/
cd ~/mangos/build
make -j<# of CPUs/Cores>
make -j<# of CPUs/Cores> install

In case you want to utilize screen (highly recommended) as mentioned in step 7, you might also have to install it first using:

sudo apt-get install screen

The rest of the steps should just be followed as written, although I've been out of the MaNGOS scene for a while as well, so take my 'knowledge' with a grain of salt.

Hope this helps you out a bit!

Note: I haven't tried MaNGOS One on Ubuntu 20.04 yet, currently in the progress of getting MaNGOS Zero up and running, but the process seems pretty much similar.

* Unless 21.04 and 20.04 vastly differ in packages and whatnot, someone ought to confirm this, along with the rest of the things I wrote.

EDIT: Guide works, although it being a bit wonky here and there, may write one myself soon (read: one day).
