I upload this mangos release, exactly as i mentioned to make things simpler (just in the event that Maxi is not reading this and doesn't want me to upload his files here... let Maxi know right away so that i can remove them... i already didn't know where they came from)
2. Complete SDB with Changesets 156: Because there's a problem for certain people when importing every changeset, i decided to release the SDB used by me ... and this SDB was kept up to date until changesets 156
To make things even easier I also provide the create database and realmd databases
3. MySQL - Essential program. The above 2 files cannot be used in the event that MySQL is not installed.
4. Map & DBC Extractor: This tool is compatible with World of Warcraft Client version 1.2.1 and Mangos Revision 3459 & Revision 3462 only.
To make things simpler, i've uploaded the DBC Files. I have uploaded the DBC Files. Maps are not included because the size of the file is too large and my connection speed is terrible when compared to other.
Mirror to download the above files if you're having a issues with Megaupload:
* Complete SDB Dump for Mangos 3462 WoW Classic Mangos 3462 by Maxi * World of Warcraft 1.12.1 DBC Files
Let's get started
I'm assuming you've already downloaded and installed the software (for more details about WoW Mangos installation, please see my previous post).
1. Install the MySQL Software and set it up as required, in this example MySQL is installed in C:MySQL. using the default root password which is blank
2. Extract the Complete Database file somewhere in your hard drive, and you'll be able to see 3 files:
* create-database.sql * realm-database-full.sql * mangos-full-for-rev3462.sql
It can be run using the following command: Start Menu => Run the cmd. This command is only available for Windows XP or command (Win9x). Then, change to the directory you extracted.
1. C:\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root < create-database.sql 2. C:\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root -D realmd < realm-database-full.sql 3. C:\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root -D mangos < mangos-full-for-rev3462.sql
Note: The create database will also drop your mangos and realmd databases when it is discovered .. i do this to make things simpler (how many times did I say these words in this post) lol
Yet another Note Make sure to extract the database in the same path where your MySQL bin is, or if you already extracted it somewhere adjust the path as follows for example :
C:\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe -u root < X:\where_SDB_extracted\create-database.sql
3. Download the DBC Directory somewhere, in this example , C:WoWDataDBC
4. Copy the ad.exe to your WoW installation directory. Also, create the directory maps. Let it end. Then, copy the maps directory into C.WoWDatamaps
5. Extract the Mangos file to a location like C:WoWMangos. Ua 7 And open the mangosd.conf and edit the DataDir into something like this:
DataDir = "C:/WoW/Data"
You can use the datadir configuration if you are following the route in this guide.
6. Run mangosd.exe ....and realmd.exe Now you can configure the server.
7.I'm sorry i forgot to write the last step in this article (thanks to GreekSoul). Now that you have configured the server, all you have to do is configure the client (WoW) to connect to it instead of the default or official one.
