Found the problem, which was actually kind of dumb on my part: I used the ad.exe I had from trying to run a private server like half a year ago. I'm not getting any errors with the maps anymore, I've used the ad.exe supplied with the new MaNGOS release. It's working perfectly now! Thanks for the help.

Followed all the steps in the OP up until the last one. When I start mangosd.exe this comes up in the error log: 2010-06-23 21:26:02 Using configuration file mangosd.conf. 2010-06-23 21:26:02 World Database: 127.0.0.1;3306;root;snappy4;mangos 2010-06-23 21:26:02 MySQL client library: 5.0.56 2010-06-23 21:26:02 MySQL server ver: 5.1.41-community 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR:SQL: SELECT required_10089_01_mangos_game_event_pool FROM db_version LIMIT 1 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR:query ERROR: Unknown column 'required_10089_01_mangos_game_event_pool' in 'field list' 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR:The table `db_version` in your [WORLD] database indicates that this database is out of date! 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR: 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR: [A] You have: --> `9539_01_mangos_spell_bonus_data.sql` 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR: 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR: [b] You need: --> `10089_01_mangos_game_event_pool.sql` 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR: 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR:You must apply all updates after [A] to [b] to use mangos with this database. 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR:These updates are included in the sql/updates folder. 2010-06-23 21:26:02 ERROR:Please read the included [README] in sql/updates for instructions on updating. I've tried applying the updates with SQLyog but it's giving me an error about a column (something like required_xxxx) that doesn't exist. I've also tried reading the readme in the sql/updates folder but I haven't gotten any wiser from that either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
