2.3.3 – Reaper

Here we go again, another important and vital patch. Previously we took a vote using comments on the site and asked would you prefer a update that runs 2.3.3 or wait for a more compatible version. Well after countless tests on our Test-Server we have found only 2 very small bugs while running it. I highly recommend updating to this version because it applys major updates to the database and provides 2.3.3 support!

Updated in this Revision:

  • Support for Patch 2.3.3
  • ScriptDev2 Updated to 241
  • AuctionHouse Improvements
  • More Compatible Database
  • New Quests
  • New Items
  • New Objects
  • New NPC’s
  • Stormwind has 1/10th more NPC’s
  • Bug with humans getting confused with orcs by NPC’s
  • Zones Redone:
    • Blasted Lands
    • Swamp of Sorrows
    • Deadwind Pass
    • StrangleThorn Vale
    • Duskwood
    • Westfall
    • Redridge Mountains
    • Fix one Karazhan quest by adding missing spawns

Fresh Install:Important Note : Fresh installation will overwrite your database

1. First you’ll need to install MySQL

2. Extracting Maps, DBC and VMaps from your World of Warcraft installation (You can safely ignore the Patch-2, or any not found xxx-2 message)–This only happens if your extracting from patch 2.3.0

3. Run the reaper-x-mangos.bat inside the reaper-eazy-mangos folder, and you’ll see something like below image for an example, and then you just need to write the full path to your mysql installation directory (where mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe can be found) ;)

MySQL Input Directory

4. Selection Option 1 by pressing “1? on the keyboard and pressing enter.Note: This will wipe out any previous versions of WoW you have in your database.

6. After finished with all of the above process, all you have to do now is just open the realmlist.wtf file in your World of Warcraft installation directory (the default location can be found at C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft) using Notepad, Wordpad, or your favorite text editor and then â€

Replace :

set realmlist us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com set patchlist us.version.worldofwarcraft.com

With :

set realmlist 127.0.0.1

and then save it and close realmlist.wtf File.

7. Now you just need to run mangosd.exe and realmd.exe from your mangos directory and then the next step would be creating your own username with your desired password for your own WoW server account as shown on below image followed by typing setgm to give yourself a GM level account

By the way, if you can’t see what you should type inside the mangosd window from the above image, actually you just need to type :

create username password

to create the account

setgm username 1-3

to give yourself GM Access at certain level (3 is the highest level and should only be used on your account while normal player is 0)

8. Finally if you have Burning Crusade client installed and want to be able to create Burning Crusade specific character, all you have to do is just type :

setbc username 1

to enable burning crusade expansion for your account :)

Optional : If you want to change the server name into something else, you can use the reaper-x-mangos.bat to adjust it :)

Upgrading from 5045 Release:

1. Re-extract vmaps, maps and dbc because this version no longer supports the old World of Warcraft 2.3.2 installation and only supports the new 2.3.3

2. Go into your WoW Reaper Server Directory, and open reaper-eazy-mangos. Next I recommend opening the batch file and backing up your character data. This is optional though.

3. Open the Folder called “Upgrade” and run reaper-x-upgrade.bat.

4. Next type in the directory to the Bin Folder where your mysql.exe and mysqldump.exe files are located.

5. Then make sure that you are upgrading from the latest previous version or else you WILL corrupt your database and possibly lose your character data.Upgrade Warning

Guide on how to Edit Mangos.ConfThanks for the Mangosd.conf edit guide Jeremy!

First off make sure that you have your MySQL running before doing anything.

You need to go back into the reaper folder (C:\Reaper-X-Easy-MaNGOS\reaper-eazy-mangos) And run the batch file called reaper-x-mangos, there is an option there to setup your LAN or IP for use, This new batch file does correctly setup your DB to the IP you enter in this batch file. Once you’ve done that, if you haven’t gone back in to edit the config files in your reaper folder mentioned above, you need to do that, there is a section in there with this.

# Data directory setting. # Important: DataDir needs to be quoted, as it is a string which may # contain space characters. DataDir = “C:\Reaper-X\dataâ€

This is an example of waht it may look like. You need to change this to the path where you put your data folder with the maps, vmaps, and dbc’s.

Second, â€

# Database connection settings for the world server. # Default: hostname;port;username;password;database # .;somenumber;username;password;database – use named pipes at Windows # Named pipes: mySQL required adding “enable-named-pipe†to [mysqld] section my.ini # .;/path/to/unix_socket;username;password;database – use Unix sockets at Unix/Linux # Unix sockets: experimental, not tested LoginDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;realmd†WorldDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;mangos†CharacterDatabaseInfo = “127.0.0.1;3306;ROOT;PASSWORD;charactersâ€

Above, you need to change the MANGO;MANGOS to your root DB name, likey it’s just root, and YOUR batabase (DB) password (you should know this)

YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE IP’S here or in the realmd file, ONLY THROUGH THAT BATCH FILE, i mentioned above. (that file does it for you)

Next open scriptdev2.conf and realmd.conf and edit the info for them to connect to your database as well.

Hope you enjoy this release if you have any questions feel free to post them as a comment below!
