How to compile VMangos for Linux Ubuntu 16.04

Steps:

1. Setup the Environment
2. Download and Compile VMangos
3. Import and update the database
4. Configuration
5. Extract the maps
6. Run the server

Install compilers and software environments

Change to Root user

sudo -i
cd ~

sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc g++ automake git-core git autoconf make patch libmysql++-dev libtool libssl-dev grep binutils zlibc libc6 libbz2-dev cmake subversion libboost-all-dev wget tmux p7zip-full

Download and compile ACE

wget http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/previous_versions/ACE-6.5.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf ACE-6.5.0.tar.gz

After decompression, there will be an ACE folder called ACE_wrappers in the downloaded directory. Set the variables

export ACE_ROOT=/root/ACE_wrappers
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ACE_ROOT/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Edit the settings file

nano $ACE_ROOT/ace/config.h

Add:

#include "ace/config-linux.h"

Create a new file:

nano $ACE_ROOT/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU

Add:

include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_linux.GNU
INSTALL_PREFIX = /usr/local

Compile ACE:

cd /root/ACE_wrappers
make && make install

Download VMangos and the Database

Clone VMangos from the Git Repository

git clone https://github.com/vmangos/core.git

Clone the Database from the Git Repository

git clone https://github.com/brotalnia/database.git

Compile Mangos

Pre Compile Configuration TBB needs to be turned off before compiling

cd core/
nano CMakeLists.txt

Make sure that the TBB field is set to 1 like in the picture below.

Compile Note: You can replace opt/lh with wherever your want the binary files to be created however you need to change the rest of the locations in the guide to match.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/lh ../

After this completes run:

 make && make install

Import and update the database

Go into MYSQL and follow the steps in sequence.

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS realmd DEFAULT CHARSET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS characters DEFAULT CHARSET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS mangos DEFAULT CHARSET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS logs DEFAULT CHARSET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

Create a new user and authorize them. I strongly recommend changing the name from 'mangos'.

create user mangos identified by 'mangos';
grant all on realmd.* to mangos@'localhost' identified by 'mangos' with grant option; 
grant all on characters.* to mangos@'localhost' identified by 'mangos' with grant option; 
grant all on mangos.* to mangos@'localhost' identified by 'mangos' with grant option; 
grant all on logs.* to mangos@'localhost' identified by 'mangos' with grant option;

SQL Migration

Check the major database version that is in the database folder. cd database/ ls -h

You must apply any updates since the last major database release. These updates are referred to as migrations. You will find them in sql\migrations inside the repository. For your convenience, there is a batch script that can be used to merge all migrations into a single file for each database.

cd /root/core/sql/migrations
ls -h

In this example June 8th is the earliest version so we begin from there.

Uncompress the major database file

cd database/
7z e world_full_08_june_2018.7z

Import the data

cd /root/core/sql
mysql -u mangos -p realmd < logon.sql
mysql -u mangos -p logs < logs.sql
mysql -u mangos -p characters < characters.sql
mysql -u mangos -p mangos < /root/database/world_full_08_june_2018.sql

Update the base database with migrations:

cd core/sql/migrations/
chmod +x merge.sh
./merge.sh
mysql -u mangos -p realmd < logon_db_updates.sql
mysql -u mangos -p logs < logs_db_updates.sql
mysql -u mangos -p mangos < world_db_updates.sql

Configuration

Create the data and log folders

cd /opt/lh
mkdir data
mkdir log

Edit Mangosd.conf & Realmd.conf Note in some cases they are named mangosd.conf.dist & realmd.conf.dist you will have to rename them.

Nano etc/mangosd.conf

nano etc/realmd.conf

Configure the authentication server

You need to change the following values Servername , Server IP Address and if you wish, change the port from 8085 but make sure to update the .conf files to match

mysql -u root -p

use realmd;
DELETE FROM realmlist WHERE id=1;
INSERT INTO realmlist (id, name, address, port, icon, realmflags, timezone, allowedSecurityLevel)
VALUES ('1', 'Servername', 'Server IP Address', '8085', '1', '0', '1', '0');
exit;

In your local WOW client folder, find the realmlist.wtf file and edit it with Notepad. The IP and PORT here are the same as the database.

realmlist.wtfset realmlist 152.178.2.154

Extracting Maps

Use google and find a guide.

Running the Server

There are many ways to do this but we'll use Tmux so that you can watch what's happening on screen.

tmux
cd /opt/lh/bin
./mangosd -c ../etc/mangosd.conf

Separate tmux, first press ctrl + b then press shift + 5

Press ctrl + b then press o to switch to the other half of the screen

cd /opt/fklserver/bin
./realmd -c ../etc/realmd.conf

Add an account

In the mangosd window you can enter the following commands.

account create [username] [password] //Create user

account set addon [username] [0 to 3] //Set the WOW environment, default is 0

account set gmlevel [username] [0 to 3] //User level 0 = player 1 and 2 = GM 3 = administrator

server shutdown [delay] //how many seconds to shut down the server
