Hi there. Just to comment on your image of the folder you've taken. The text is barely readable, if you're going to post an image, crop it before upload, so users only can see the relevant info, which makes it easier to read. Or try using the console instead, and use the "dir" command, and copy the text. The "dir" command, lists all files and directories in the folder, including the extention of the files. But ahead to your problem. First thing first, have you modified the source in any way, like using SD2, added patches or edited the source yourself? Because those modifications could have broken your source. Try to recompile the source without any modifications first, then add one modification, compile, run, and so on, until you encounter a problem. Then you'll know where the problem might occur, and go on from there. The mangosd.conf file you've uploaded. It seems a bit small, have you really uploaded the entire mangosd.conf here, or have you only uploaded a partion of it. If you haven't uploaded a partion of it, then your mangosd.conf if broken, and you should redownload it. The mangos source. It could hapen during the download or saving to the harddrive, the source got broken. It might be a network error, or your harddrive might have a damaged sector. Try to download the source to a new place, and compile it again. I hope this helps. Edit Oh yeah, as Cyberfreak wrote. Did you encounter any compilation errors while compiling the source. And did you use Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010 to compile it (as I remember the Express versions of it can't compile in x64 mode, you'll need the full versions to compile that).

Check the stickies in the "Installation, Configuration & Upgrades" forum. There's one called "[Guide] Updating for Windows", yeah yeah, I'ts not for ubuntu, but the database update part are the same for all OS, just different programs that's used.

Since you're talking about ad.exe, I beleve your'e using a version of Windows. Open the windows console, move to where your ad.exe is located, and run it. There should be some error messages, and the console window will not close automaticly. Now, what do you see?

There's a forum called "Installation, configuration & upgrades", in there, there are serveral threads marked as "sticky" at the top. Read the titles, and look at the ones that suits you the best. This is for the mangos server only. As for your database, If you're using a content database, you should check the content databases forum on how to update it correctly. And always when updating a database, make a backup before you start, in case you do something wrong. And a backup makes it possible for you to use it as a sandbox, until you know what you're doing, and how you should do it. (offtopic, sorry mods) Not to be a grammar geek or anything, but your title annoys me a bit. I am You are He/She/It is So your title should be "I am a noob", not "I are noob", (rable) unless "I" is a name for a group of people then it should be spelled "noobs". And if noob is a name of something, then it's correctly spelled except it should start with a capital letter. (/ramble) Not saying I'm using the correct grammar all the time. And titles should always be a short of what the thread is about. (/offtopic)

Did you compile the source yourself, or did you get "precombiled binaries"? You can't alter the compiled binaries, you must always edit the source code, then compile it to get the binaries. As for the "map" and "dbc" files, read in the forum on how to compile. The "map" files tells the server how the world looks like, and the "dbc" is more a database (these are extracted from the client). If you want to know where to look for server modifications, there's a forum here called "Developer's Corner", that might be something you should look at, there are many projects there.

Are you running the compiled binaries on another computer than the one you compiled the source at? Because then you must have installed the correct depencencies on that computer to be able to run it. Just google for "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002)", and you'll find a lot of answers on that one. Always when you encounter an error/problem do the following: 1. Search the forum for an answer. 2. If no answers found, use google to search for answers. 3. If you still can't find any answers, make a post about it.

How can you connect to the internet without a modem? Only way I can think of, is if you're connecting thru someone elses internet connection (lan/wlan), and even then, they have a modem. Have you really started realmd and mangos (if Windows they should be called realmd.exe and mangosd.exe), or do you have any errors when starting up them? Have you tried to start the server and let it listen to localhost, and connect that way? That's one of the best ways to really test if you have managed to get the server working 100%. Next step would be to allow connections thru your external IP address. When trying to make it possible to connect thru your external IP address, you must make sure you have port forwarded the 2 ports correctly, and the firewalls in your computer/router/modem allow traffic thru those ports. If you haven't done those things, you won't be able to connect.

What Mangos revision are you using? Any branch? What client version have you extracted the maps from? Does the Mangos rev. you extracted support the client version you are extracting from? Read the error, check the "Big FAQ Thread" stickie, It explains one of the solutions to this problem. There are a lot of threads in this forum about this problem, do a search, maybe you will find the answer.

You should read the stickies before posting such a question, since this kind of questions has already been answered in the Big FAQ thread. Repacks are not supported here. Ask however made the repack if you want help with that. Or do as everyone else here, read the stickies and learn how to compile the source yourself, it's not hard. There are plenty of stickies that shows you how to. Next time, please read the stickies and use the search before posting.

If you get any errors while compiling,just writing you have errors does not help. Noone here can read your mind, or see what's in the log if you don't post it anywhere. I get 2 things out of your thread. 1. You have errors, maybe 3, but I don't know what they are or anything else. 2. You are compiling for windows, probably using one of the Visual Studio/C++ compilers (but there are a lot of different versions of those). Have you tried checking where the problem first occurs. Is it in the "clean" mangos core, is it with playerbot, ahbot or mmaps? Have you tried "Rebuild Solution" or "Clean Solution"? Have you searched the forum, for others with the same problem? Always when you get any errors, you go back and try to check where the problem occurs. If you find that it's playerbot, ahbot or mmaps, ask in those threads, if it's a problem with the core, post a thread here. And always provide an error log.

Don't use translators, they suck. I don't use ubuntu so much, but if you would read the error message, it tells you a lot. "folder of file not found", aka, is "create_mysql.sql" located in "/opt/mangos/mangos/sql/"? And correct me if I'm wrong, but this "</ opt / mangos / mangos / sql / create_mysql.sql" is not the same as "< /opt/mangos/mangos/sql/create_mysql.sql". The spaces makes a big difference sometimes.

Mangos come with an empty database structure, that means there are no monsters or anything in the game. This is the wrong forum to ask help about content databases. Read in the forums from where you got your content databases, and ask there for help if you get any errors.

There are hundreds of post about this same error, the only difference may be A and/or B. Read the error message, and read what's been answered in those other threads, just because A and B are not the same as yours, you still use the same method, just other files. And read the stickie on how to update, it explains a lot, even if you're not using windows. In short, you haven't updated your database correctly, the mangos core you are using is newer and supports a newer database than the one it's connecting to.

Ask RageZone, from where you got your core. Precompiled binaries, or repacks are not supported here. If you want to add playerbot, I suggest you first check the "Installation, Configuration & Upgrades", on how to create a server of your own (download source, compile, config, set up databases and make it run). Then you search for playerbot, and check in that thread on how to apply playerbot to your source, they tell you exactly what to do there.

And even if "Novo's emulator" is using mangos core, precompiled binaries or repacks are not supported here, ask from where you got it from instead. Download the source code, and compile it yourself. There are plenty of guides on how to do that.

I don't understand your question. But if you want to change the core, you acually only need some form of text editor (i prefer notepad++), and you need to understand how C++ works, to be able to edit the code correctly. I think there's a patch to prevent mangos from getting bugged at levels above 80, but don't remember the name, check in the core modification corner. Then you need to be able to compile the core, but there are plenty of guides for that.

Editing client DBC files are illegal and not supported here. And last time I checked, Mangos didn't support levels over 80. And a last thing, last time I checked, a lot things got really bugged when you got to levels above 80, I don't remember correctly what it was, but It had to do with the characters abilities or spells that didn't work correctly. So if you want to use levels above 80, you need to change the core too, so it can support levels above 80 and not start to be bugged. But why try to have levels above 80, you don't get any more new spells or abilities, only thing that happens is that the characters abilities gets bugged.

Why not google for "Hide extensions for known file types", there are hundreds of guides with images on how to do that. But in short: Open "My computer" or any folder, select "Tools" in the menu, select subitem "Folder Options", select the tab "View", and uncheck the checkbox named "Hide extensions for known file types".

Did you download a repack (then read the guides and compile a server of your own)? What guide did you follow? Did you follow it exactly, or did you skip some parts? What rev. of mangos are you using? Did you copy the files "mangosd.conf.dist.in" and "realmd.conf.dist.in" to your mangos directory, and renamed them to "mangosd.conf" and "realmd.conf"? Are you sure you did completley rename the "mangosd.conf.dist.in" and "realmd.conf.dist.in", and not just to "mangosd.conf.in" and "realmd.conf.in". In MS Windows if you have "Hide extensions for known file types" enabled, and you've selected one of the .in files to automaticly open with any editor or similar, you won't see the .in file ending (translation, if you double click the file and it opens in for example notepad, that's what I'm talking about). Do you have any core modifications?

Always read the stickied guides before posting. What you have written ihas probably already been answered there, or in the hundreds of other threads about how to update. If you don't have a content database, just use the mangos.sql in the sql folder, and you don't need to apply any updates, since mangos.sql already contains the lastest update. Read the stickied thread "[GUIDE] Updating for Windows" on how to update, the part "Third Stage Databases" is the one you should really pay attention to.

Have you created a server from the master branch before? If no, do that first, so you know how to do things. There are plenty of guides how to compile mangos on linux, read the stickies in the "Installation, Configuration & Upgrades" forum. If yes (and it works). Just download the source code, and switch to "mangos-0.12" branch", in git: git clone git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git cd mangos git checkout -b <branch> origin/<branch> Just replace "<branch>" with whatever branch you want to use, in this case "mangos-0.12". In this link you can see the different branches and tags: http://github.com/mangos/mangos/commits/master Good luck.

You should remove the repack link before the mods can see it. Repacks are not supported here, and it's not hard to create a server, it just takes time. And if you would like more help with this update problem, you should first check the guides and search the forum. There are hundreds of threads about this problem, and most of them has the answer how to solve it, you just need to take some time reading about it. Even the error message is easy to read and understand, just pay attention to what it wants to tell you. But remember, if you use that repack, don't ask about problems with it in this forum.

By reading the error. It explains exactly what you have to do.

You start by reading the guides on how to update, and there are plenty of threads that explains that. If you're using a content database, check that content database forum on how to update too. And noone here can read your mind. Without any other information, noone here can help you. And by the way, there are a total of 1517 sql update files for mangos, and unless you're updating from rev. 1150, to the latest release of mangos, you will never use all of them.

You have entered wrong credentials. How did you setup your account you are trying to connect to? Did you enter the username and password in the console, did you enter it into the database manually, do your database even have the username you are trying to connect with? What rev. of mangos are you using? What client version are you using? Have you checked your server are using the right database?
