Recommended Posts

Posted

Ok guys since Im really bored i thought i'd share this tutorial i found on the net with a bit  extra comment of mine  on how to setup your own World of Warcraft ManGoS server in  a few steps.

It's Easy if u follow the steps.

 

================ Concerning MY GUIDE ===============

This guide works 100%.

If u get errors it is becose u missed a step or u didnt configure something right.

 

I Will not give u directions on Further Developing of the server . u must find ur own way in all this.

- I will not Edit skills or Add items  or add new Npc.

If u wish to do that then u must do it on your own .

 

Enjoy

 

=================================================

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------

Required:  (install these Before u continue!)

1. World of Warcraft TBC 2.4.3 Client (installed on ur pc)

I assume u already have the game installed, if not go search it! it must be 2.4.3 version!

 

2. MangoS Server Pack 2.4.3

This repack uses a fully updated UDB and scriptdev2 by 711 .

3. Navicat (for editing stuff after)

4. Notepad ++ (for editing)

----------------------------------------------------------

 

Install instructions:

 

1) Extract the repack to c:\, move the "maps" folder and "ad.exe" to C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\ (or wherever ur WOW is installed) and run ad.exe. ad.exe will start creating your MAPS, its gonna take a while. When it's done, move them back to ur MangoS folder.

2) Run "mysql.bat" then "restarter.exe" (these files are found in ur manGoS Folder)

c) Edit like this: "Set realmlist 127.0.0.1" and run wow. Log in with username "0", "1", "2", or "3". The higher the number, the higher the GM level. Password is same as username.

COMMON TASKS:

 

Creating more accounts:

With the server running, select the mangosd window and type "create username password" to make a new account, "setbc username 1" to enable TBC, and "setgm username X" where X is 0, 1, 2 or 3.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Connecting to the database:

 

Run NAVICAT and log in to localhost (127.0.0.1) with username 'root' and password 'root'.

Changing the realm name:

Open "realmlist" table in the "realmd" database and change the "name" cell to the desired realm name. Allowing others to connect to the server:

Open "realmlist" table in the "realmd" database and change the "address" cell to your external IP, then, if applicable, forward ports 3724 and 8085 on your router and/or firewall.

EXTRA:

1. MANGOS GM COMMANDS:

2. Creature Lookup TOOL: (ur server must be up inorder to use this tool)

3. Teleport Codes for Mangos:

------------------------------------------------------------

 

TROUBLESHOOTING:

 

I can't extract the repack

You need to download winrar. Once it's installed, right click the archive and click "Extract Here".

 

The mysql console closes as soon as I open it.

You have another copy of MySQL running already. You need to disable or uninstall it before running the included mysql server. To do this, press ctrl+alt+del and click task manager. Open the "Processes" tab and sort by "image name". Find the one that starts with "MySQL", click it, and click End Process. If there is no other MySQL server running, you're getting another error.

 

Ad.exe isn't working/I can't extract my maps.

Make sure you followed Step 1 exactly. The /maps/ folder and ad.exe must be in /World of Warcraft/ to begin extraction, and be moved back to /MANGOS/ afterward for Step 2.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Special Thanx to Lord tom for the noobpack.

Its not bad although its for an old version, nice share tho. Keep it up.

 

Agree. but it is a verry nice way for newb developers to start figuring out how things work.  Surery this has helped me alot understanding many things as it comes to running private servers.  Private servers to me were a myth.. but i do understand that inorder to have one u must have a database Emulator datapack a basic file editor as Notepad++ is and a client of the game ... the rest is keeping up with the emu devs releases and bug fixes and using ur brains to develop simple tasks such ass  adding new NPCs and editing skills :)

    • You can find some H5 skins shared in old L2 modding Discords, but most of the higher‑quality ones are either paid or come bundled with full client edits. I usually mix in commissioned work and whatever I can patch myself. On a side note, I fund a lot of these commissions by selling off game items through instant sell cs2 skins, which has been a quick way for me to get some cash for projects.
    • There is no need for gRPC in this case, even tho originally it was gRPC based but since we don't need it to be bi-directional, we switched to simple http requests for the web calls and SSEs for the data streamed from the server. There are distributed locks in place to precent race conditions between actions that can happen between multiple web instances and the server.   Local models can also be slow depending on the model, and most external models can actually be faster than local ones if you use Flash 2.5 or something along those lines. I am running on 512GB of Unified Memory on my Mac Studio M3 Ultra so the speed of the local model for a small model is pretty good but I tested it with Gemini too and it works equally as fast and in some cases faster. The way it works is that I'm using pgvector (one of the benefits of moving to Postgres) to search the data and see what the player can see etc and there is some batching of the next few actions for 2-4 seconds for the user until the next LLM request fires. The batching also includes branching on logic so if they for example fall under some HP they will move to kiting instead of attacking or maybe they heal etc.   Everything is authed and permission-based. The server and the backend of the frontend have secure communication between them, either with a symmetric key (not recommended for production) or a certificate (the recommended way), so there is no worry. It's all tied to the account's access level, etc., so nobody can make an action that they normally wouldn't be allowed to do. Even the MCP is token-based, and there are prompt injection protections in place. The MCP is audited, and every mutation needs confirmation. The admin area is only accessible to the admin account anyway so normal users can't access it.
