[TUT] Making a MaNGOS Server (Windows ONLY)

Hi, I'm new here, and this was the only Tut i got and i am almost 100% done with the server, the only thing is, when i run the mangosd.exe it starts excecuting but then the maps files it stops in 42% and it sais something about wrong client version, can someone please help me here??

 

Just in case you dont understand here is a screenshot

 

Make sure your client version is 2.4.3.

 

ok i been trying to make my own server for awhile to try some stuff out curious about the game i guess and i never seem to be able to do it few times i had no clue what what to do but now i found this site which is helpful however i'm still stuck in the part where i have to extract the DBCs i type EXACTLY "mpqe /p locale-enUS.MPQ DBFilesClient\*.dbc" and it don't work it says that "mqpe" isn't an internal or extral function what to do please help my versions are all correct and i made sure everything is correct but it won't work.... i would provide a pic but i can't sorry help me if you can tho

 

Same problem. Unaware of how to proceed.

 

hey every time i run mongosd.ex its says maps 0004331.map does not exsit wat i do plz help

 

Thanks dude :laugh: was very useful to me.... =)

 

I've tried this, and it worked pretty well, up untill I run mangosd.exe. It says I don't have the maps, even though I have all the maps in my Mangos folder.

 

Just to clarify, poole is having the same problem as me.

 

i've have a problem when i am finished with this guide and start mangos i get this error:

2008-10-02 20:19:55 ERROR:Correct *.map files not found in path './maps' or *.vmap/*vmdir files in './vmaps'. Please place *.map/*.vmap/*.vmdir files in appropriate directories or correct the DataDir value in the mangosd.conf file.

What most i do????

 

Same here -.-' any help?

 

I am looking for help getting the maps. When I run ad.exe it stops at 41%. My WoW is the battlechest version and has been patched to 2.4.2. Does anybody have a way of getting past this 41% problem?? or a different tool that I can extract the maps with?? or a location where I can download the maps?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

You need 2.4.3 not 2.4.2

 

blu, didn't mangos update to WoTLK... I could of sworn I've seen some repacks based off of mangos WoTLK core.

 

Updated the guide, now has 3.0.3 client support.

 

OK, I installed everything fine and got to the point where I run the server. I run mangosd.exe and the black box flashes for a second and then closes. Same thing with the realmd.exe. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I have the 2.4.3 installed.

 

hey. did you get a resolution to this? I'm getting the same error that correct *.map files not found

 

I have a problem about compiling Mangos. I'm running Vista and I suspect I may have a newer version of the C++ compiler. Whenever I go to the VC++ Directiories, these are the lists that appear: Executable files, Include files, Library files.

Since this isn't spoken of the tutorial, I skip adding in the directories. When I go to build, these are the folders that are created, when I was expecting some sort of file named "compile": None of them contain the .exe's and .dll's I was expecting. Are they elsewhere or am I doing something wrong?

 

I have gone through all the steps and get to the end and my mangosd.exe opens then closes I believe that I have done something wrong. I am confused about where to put everything. You tell us to make a folder called MaNGOS and then tell us that we have a mangos source folder and a mangos core folder. Could you clarify about these folders. Also you have your mangosd.exe in a folder called WoW Server.

 

All the .exe and .dll etc files are located in MaNGOS/bin/release/ i finally noticed.

Also if you run microsoft visual C++ 9.0 use the mangosdvc90 instead of 80.
