comon guys i know im noob but not that big i think...i just dont know how to update this ,,

i need only to update mangos or realmd.char too?

and plz tell me how to update this without errors

they have told you. you have to figure this out yourself. Mangos is not meant to be easy in setup. It's a learning project as davemm has said countless times. Use the resources you have available to find your answer. No one's gonna hold your hand through this.

What is Mangos?

"There has never been, and, hopefully, never will be a "quick-1-click-install" available for mangos.

Mangos is NOT about setting up a massive public server to stroke your Epeen in the direction of your friends.

Mangos is NOT just something to stumble upon and expect to work 1st time with no hassle.

Mangos is NOT easy to setup, or use.

Mangos IS an educational project, where you will learn about c++, sql, networking, troubleshooting and much much more.

99% of the problems anyone has have already been asked. Thats what the forum is for.

Most of the guides are written by members on the forum who know a hell of a lot about mangos and how it works. Sometimes these guides may not be completely up to date, but dont forget that nobody is getting paid, people are doing this because they enjoy it." - Rant by Davemm

Good! It's working

I can connect to the server now!

But command for expansion and gmlevel aren't good at home

-gmlvl: account set gmlevel accountname number

-expansion: account set addon accountname number

Thank you very much!!

Esty

Use the search and you would have gotten your answer.

account set expansion level

level = 0, 1, 2

0 = classic

1 = TBC

2 = Wotlk

gm command follows same syntax. Just play around with it and figure it out.

command is: account create name password

Hello,

Sorry for my bad english, I'm French

I've two problems! If someone can help me... ^^

At first, I don't understand at begin: after do a right click on the new folder "MaNGOS" who is empty, an error message appears when I want to select the Target Directory

I've wrote "MaNGOS_" on the Target Directory, and all files income on this folder and the first folder, "MaNGOS", stay empty.

At second, after compile the project, I don't understand where I must do :

"-Add all the .exe files, .dll files and .pdb files in the compile folder into your Mangos folder (Ctrl + F to find them)"

All these files are in D:\\MANGOS_\\bin\\Win32_Release but where must I add them?

Thanks a lot!

Esty

salut, comment alle vous? Je ne parle pas francais bien.

No worries about the Mangos_ folder. GIT doesn't like existing folder as target.

Second,

Copy them to a new folder. This folder will also be where your DBC and map files go to, and where you start the server from. for example create a folder d:\\wowPriv and copy the .exe, .dll, .pbd, and .conf files to it.

20. I receive an error when I launch mangos "You have _outdated_ DBC files."

What does this mean?

Your game client version that you extracted the DBC files from does not match the mangos server revision.

How do I fix?

There's plenty of threads that mention this problem. Use the forum search, located beneath the Mangos banner at top of page.

Either download W0W patch, and update client then run the extractor(ad.exe) or update mangos, compile, and run the extractor. Also make sure you're not using an old ad.exe from an earlier mangos compile and be certain it is extracting from a WoW directory that has the version needed. How do you find what client version your mangos server supports? Refer to FAQ 6.

21. I receive an error when I launch mangos "<FILE>.dbc (exist, but have x fields instead x) Wrong client version dbc?"

What does this mean?

This is similar to FAQ 20. Mangos is referencing dbc files that do not match its rev. You need to make sure your WoW client version is supported by your Mangos version before you extract the dbc files. More than likely you updated mangos to support newer patch but you did not re-extract dbc files from newly patched client.

How do I fix?

Look at the datadir line in the mangosd.conf file and make sure it points to a directory that has dbc files that match the mangos rev you are running. Update client or mangos then re-extract (ad.exe) the dbc files from WoW client folder. How do you find what client version your mangos server supports? Refer to FAQ 6.

22. When I try to launch Mangosd.exe I receive an error: "The application configuration is incorrect. Please reinstall."

What does this mean?

You compiled mangos with Visual Studio, or Visual C++ Express, on one computer, and moved the files to a different computer.

How do I fix?

You will need to download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package onto the computer that you are receiving this message, the computer you are trying to run mangos on.

Download here: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package

Also, it would not hurt to download the latest .net framework from Microsoft.

i've fixed it, can play just not much commands work and empty world.

as I posted before...you need a db project like UDB

Command to setexpansion wont work here.

because you have empty databases.

Ok Kageboshi I have the server running thnx to you and others, but there are no NPC's in the world. I am guessing it is because UDB_0.11.5_Core_7681_SD2_1012.sql is not loaded. Maybe I am going insane, but when I sift thru the links to download UDB_0.11.5_Core_7681_SD2_1012.sql the only file that looks remotely close is UDB_0.11.5_Core_7681_SD2_1012.rar.

I tried running that, but seeing how it is linux file it didnt work, i renamed it .sql and still no luck. Where can I find the correct UDB_0.11.5_Core_7681_SD2_1012.sql?

sorry Turaj. Been busy with work. you can open .rar by installing 7-zip, just google it. And UDB contains all the world stuff and 0.11.5 is what you need. You might get some db errors when you start mangos. UDB 0.11.5 does not support mangos rev. 7979 and up.

Ok everything on the guide is complete up to the database portion, i have F:\\mangos server

In this folder are all the .exe, .dll, .pdb files, maps and dbc folders with info extraced using the ad.exe

my mangosd.conf and realmd.conf files have been set up like it shows.

Still when I do the steps for the databases and i have both that you showed me it gives me the 1064 error code: which basically just prints off each line of the (in this case) characters.sql file, with each line giving the 1064 error

something that I just realized when looking back at the mysql is I don't see a database called scriptdev2, where is this database and how do I get it?

scriptdev will come later. Scriptdev contains the AI for all the creatures. Sorry I didn't mention that before. What are you using for your SQL reader? SQLyog?

so that the end of ur troubleshooting? lol

sure is. I don't have a 64 bit system and I didn't have that problem. how about you use google to search for your problem.

Yes this is a new "clean" installation

I have followed the guide to the letter, I am not totally sure I did it correctly. When i compiled mangos I got 11 succeeded 0 failed so it looked good, from that point I copied the .exe..dll and .pdb files from f:\\mangos\\bin\\win32release and placed them into f:\\mangos server (I still feel i copied these files from the wrong spot)

I am also not sure if I did something wrong at the start, I installed GIT and made a folder called F:\\MaNGOS, right clicked and did the whole get gui thing, but got the error that folder already exists, so I just directed it to a folder I called MaNGOS1 (which I had not yet created) and it installed there. So from reading the posts and getting some help, I assumed that F:\\MaNGOS1 would be my "source folder" and F:\\mangos server would be my compile folder?

so far I have compiled Mangos (at least I think I did that correctly) ========== Build: 11 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Yep thats right. So far so good. You copied the .exe, .dll, and .pdb files from bin\\win32_release to f:\\mangos server

I also had that issue with git not wanting to do anything with an existing folder. Have you extracted maps and dbc? The output of that action will be two folders named maps and dbc then copy that to F:\\Mangos Server

Well, back to your SQL issue. You will have a total of 4 databases, and they are realmd, characters, mangos, and scriptdev2. Just run the sql dump files in UDB\\trunk\\Full_DB\\ForCleanInstallOnly

Then run the sql dump file UDB_0.11.5_Core_7681_SD2_1012.sql

ok seriously you acting like i haven't done this before this is not newbie mistakes ok this is flow blown errors. I've been compiling mangos since 2.5 no problems. and no 309 ur acting as if i am new to compiling it like hello read above post 303 COMPILES FINE so WHY does 309 not compile

whoa there chief. Just doing a little troubleshooting to isolate an issue. Whats the error for the genrevision compile?

www.github.com/mangos/mangos.git <<< check it yourself from there there is so revision.h period so that's nothing to do with me

oh did a new pull and look new errors lol

Try Build > Clean Solution then Build > Build Solution. Also check that you're building it for release, not debug.

ok look rev 303 complies no errors so i know this problem is not me. wtf is with 309 not complieing.

You're problem is here

7>Extract revision

7>'"e:\\Mangos_git\\win\\VC90\\shared__x64_Release\\\\.. \\genrevision__Win32_Release\\genrevision.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

7>operable program or batch file.

7>Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Extract revision"

Check to make sure genrevision.exe is in the "mangos\\win\\VC90\\genrevision__Win32_Release" directory and revision.h is in the "mangos\\src\\shared directory"

Ok I must be doing something wrong, i get to this updating your database section and i open (what i believe is correct) the 380_corepatch_mangos_7682_to_7894.sql file onto notepad. I put it into mysql, selected mangos and select all and hit the play button and i get the following errors: error code 1064, you have an error in your sql syntax; check the manual that corrosponds to your mysql server version for the right syntax to use near <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.or at line 1

This same error is repeated many many times with just the test of the message being different

more info, i tried running mangosd.exe and got this log:

Yes you can't run mangosd.exe if you had problems creating the databases. We need more info. Is this a new installation? If so then you don't need to do the SQL updates.

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this. It appears so.

I'm using 0.13.0-Dev rev.7732 and going through I've noticed a couple of things missing, for example barbershop chairs in Orgrimmar and Undercity, so I've taken it upon myself to add these things.

What would be nice to have, but I'm sure this could be done with client-side addon in LUA, is a GM interface that allows querying server for game object/creatures, a small model viewer to display queried objects/creatures, and allow for addition/selection/movement/orientation/deletion of objects. Basically a GUI for some GM commands. I'll look into this myself but I am somewhat overwhelmed by the shear size of mangos.

Also, I'm a fan of the Total War series of games so the thought of a W0W/ToTal War hybrid would be mind-blowing. Perhaps summon a unit of calvary( 20 units) and use the pet bar for unit commands and formation. Also would make creating machinama using epic battle sequences much easier. But I guess this wouldn't be supported because mangos tries to accurately emulate W0W right? Perhaps if someone could point me in the right direction? I know of a few spells I might look at but not sure where in the source to go.

Anyways just a few ideas.

deleted...

i've got another problem,

i can launch the mangosd.exe and it works fine, load the maps and a lot of scripts .

i create a test account on ( login test, pass test) and i checked, he is in the SQL database.

but, when i launch my wow client, i fill in the fields, press connect and ... the client told me that he can't connect because he can't find the server. ( look here , it shows my problem but it is a TBC 2.4.3 screen [REMOVED - DO NOT POST SCREENSHOTS] , it is wrote " unable to connect")

could you help me ? is someone got the same problem ?

127.0.0.1 is a loop back ip address. It doesn't connect to any other computer. IF you have mangos on computer a and computer b is a seperate computer, and you need computer b to connect to computer a, computer b cannot connect if it is using 127.0.0.1.

Also, check in the realmd database > realmlist table and look at address. If it shows 127.0.0.1 then other computers will never be able to connect. IF the computers are on the same network then you need the ip address of the computer that has mangos on it. It computers are outside your network, trying to conect to your server over internet, then it needs to be your internet ip address, and if that is the case you will need to setup port forwarding.

in your conf file, if it shows "127.0.0.1:3306;root;pass;database" that is ok. Just leave it like that. Only time you want to change that is if the database is on a separate computer than mangosd.exe, realmd.exe. What you just need to look at is the realmd database, realmlist table and look at address field.

ok well ive partially answered my own problems... since im running patch 3.1.0 mangos just isnt compatible with it yet. And because of that my mangos was rev 7717 or something. So now is it possible to downgrade my client version to 3.0.9 and have it run without having to get rid of my 3.1 patch, recompiling everything and getting my server working on 3.0.9, then reinstalling patch 3.1 for my normal wow? Or would that be the quickest/simplest way of getting it running?

yeah you can downgrade. I've done it and it is somewhat of a pain. make a copy of your WoW folder then paste wherever and rename it to like WoWPriv, then do a google search for downgrading WoW ...you'll need to delete some files out of your WoWPriv folder then run the repiar which should bring your version to like 3.0.0 or so, then you'll need to find a site that hosts each individual patch and dl and apply each up to the target version...also make sure you change your realmlist.wtf. It would be terrible to do all this just to have the blizzard downloader start dling the new patch when you launch the game.

/edit

checkout reaper's post on reverting WoW client patches

[REMOVED - No thanks to links to crappy repack sites please]

look this is what i did.. i made a folder, right clicked it Chose "Git GUI here" i got the window up and all, i chose "Clone Exsisting Repository" and then it looks something like this

...

Source Location:git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git

Target Directory:C:/MaNGOs

...

(Note: i couldnt choose standard,full copy or shared options, it was automaticly choosing.)

Then i press Clone and then the error message pops up and only allows me to quit, so NO im not doing it wrong.

might be a firewall issue blocking git.
