Guess you have to try installing wine and running the windows client. I do not see Blizz patching an old client for compatibility with Lion. Regards Skirnir

And you are sure that this file exists? And that your config points to the directory containing the map files? If the file exists, your config file is incorrect. MaNGOS only points to the first missing file Regards Skirnir

Make sure you extract from the correct client 3.3.5a (EU, RUS or US Client) and make sure your config file points to the correct data folder. Uploading just one map file would not help because MaNGOS checks all files inside the folder. Regards Skirnir

Well, what kind of forum are we at all. No screenshot thread anywhere? Here's my current desktop. My laptop is almost the same, but with a saner wallpaper (might have to carry it around).

Erratum: Just saw 9.0 was already released. Why should PostgreSQL support be dropped? Iirc PostgreSQL was the best database for servers with a huge amount of characters - until the prepared statements patch was accepted. Since no one wrote a patch for PostgreSQL this might currently be different. Another thing is, no one can foresee how long MySQL will be developed as opensource. Oracle has it's very own database and there are a few good reasons why they could drop MySQL. As long as compatible alternatives like MariaDB are available, fine. Still no one knows how long these will be supported. PostgreSQL won't disappear that fast. That's why dropping MySQL could be the other alternative ;-) Regards Skirnir

Nope. See for 8.4 [1] and for upcoming 9.0 [2] Regards Skirnir [1] http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/sql-commands.html [2] http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-commands.html EDIT: Other than that I don't know how functional PostgreSQL is in MaNGOS. The worlddatabase providers I know only support MySQL and it's a pain in the … to convert these files to Postgre and if I got it right MaNGOS has only for MySQL prepared statements.

The banner is still active on some pages of the wiki for languages != english (e.g. fr: [1]), love MaNGOS banner in the right top corner. I do not know what has happened to the rest of the banners. Regards Skirnir PS: What is not allowed on this forum are iirc server advertisements (that is why I would remove it until some Mod corrects me on this one) [1] http://getmangos.eu/wiki/Compile_MaNGOS_On_Linux/fr

Hm and it's not the ahbot running mad? Did you update it's conf file? And just as sidenote ... vpsland seems pretty expensive. Regards Skirnir

In your World of Warcraft installation folder. Could be something like "C:\\World\\ of\\ Warcraft". Regards Skirnir

Just built latest mangos zero w/o scriptdev2(-zero?), no problem on Arch Linux. Regards Skirnir

$: make Well using the $ as sign for root is rather unique, most commonly used is the #. Doubt that there is a distribution shipping a command $ for root. The tbbvars says that there is a command in line 28 that does not exist. I don't build zero have a look at the file and see whats the source of the problem. Maybe you have to install another package or need an updated version. Regards Skirnir

Guess you checked out as root. Chown and chmod should help. First got to mangosfolder and "# chown -r username *" and afterwards exit su and you should be able to build as user. Another not recommended option would be to compile as root user. Regards Skirnir

Nice. Currently I can't think of leaving the console, but looks promising Regards Skirnir

Yes, it does. Copy the ahbot.conf file in your configuration folder (where mangosd.conf and realmd.conf are located) and activate the ahbot. Done.Regards Skirnir

Naicisum, he kept ahbot alive before xeross, cyberium and antiroot stepped in. Regards Skirnir

The linked guide seems to be up to date. It exactly tells you which software is needed and how to set cmake defines. Here: [1] it tells you how to compile MaNGOS with the built in ACE (simply use no ACE related definition or use -DACE_USE_EXTERNAL=0). This will solve your ACE problem. On every GNU/Linux distribution. For the Debian part: Debians squeeze ships cmake 2.8. If your on Lenny: Either compile cmake or look for an updated version in backports or update your debian installation. Regards Skirnir PS: cmake doesn't replace make, it replaces the "autoconf & configure part". [1] http://getmangos.eu/wiki/Compile_MaNGOS_On_Linux#Compile_the_sources

@tyrael: Still no reports how mmaps work with more than 5-100 users. These tests are mandatory else you end up with something like this [1] (yeah my favorite github commit). Regards Skirnir [1] https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee/commit/a047be85247755cdbe0acce6f1dafc8beb84f2ac

http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-524/BitTorrent.htm Found it via google took me the time of writing the search string. Sorry can't help any further since I don't have that kind of router. All I can say is, it wont work until your ports are properly forwarded Regards Skirnir

Might read your post again and think about why no one answers? Just as example. You own a shop where you give away self build and designed TVs. One day some random guy walks into your shop and asks you how "yar shitty TV workz cuz no problem w/ other TVs. ur TV alpha version!" would you explain him something or just send that unfriendly guy to the door? Well I can tell you, I wouldn't even tell that guy his own name. What have we learned? Just because you can establish a internet connection and set up a MaNGOS server that doesn't mean you know how to behave. Regards and good luck learning Skirnir PS: Or in your world: "no1! kthxbye!" (just as hint, not everyone around is 14-16 years old)

@Starim: you could try to compile just with -DPREFIX=/opt/mangos if you don't use external ace, tbb and debug build. Other than that I've no clue. @Tvup: Your problem solved? Might have to build as i386 or x86 depending on what MaNGOS expects. Regards Skirnir

Like I said in my first post. You have to forward your routers ports: [1] Unless you do that, your router blocks all incoming connections. Regards Skirnir [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding

Int <- internal IP (aka 127.0.0.1) Ext <- external IP (aka 87.xxx.xx) Dyn <- Dynamic DNS 1. You edit your realmist table and replace the address with "Ext". All other config files use "Int". 2. You modify your realmlist.wtf file to connect at "Ext". You'll connect via you external IP, just like everyone else could. That won't work. Host files are not designed to route one ip to another ip. You could use a dynamic DNS service. Replace your realmlist table with Dyn and modify your realmlist.wtf file to connect at "Dyn" and modify your hostfile to: 127.0.0.1 "Dyn" This way "Dyn" and "Int" are the same. Regards Skirnir

I don't want you to do anything. I just wrote you should forward your ports. You might consider to search at google what that is. Regards Skirnir PS: Ofc setting your outside ip in realmlist table was a good start. Might as well check a new in dev hosting behind a router article, I wrote [1]. [1] http://getmangos.eu/wiki/Dev:Hosting_behind_a_router

Well, try forwarding your ports. Guess you'll find a guide how to do that in your routers manual. Regards Skirnir

And what exactly did you do before? Already tried forwarding your realmd and mangos ports? Regards Skirnir
