These instructions are how to compile and run this MaNGOS fork on Linux, specifically Ubuntu 18.04 Server distro. It was the least resistant distro in terms of compilation.

-- DOWNLOAD AND DISTRO SETUP:

1. Install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server.

2. Install updates, dependencies, and give it a good ole reboot after: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt install build-essential cmake libace-dev libtbb-dev mariadb-server mariadb-client libmysqlclient-dev libssl1.0-dev unrar p7zip-full && sudo reboot

3. Although we will use the source from this repo we need the game files for the server so need to download/transfer the latest Lights Hope repack on the server. Currently https://www.mediafire.com/file/is1uobq3fjcza1h/Lights+Hope+bropack+v11.rar

-- COMPILE: 4) Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/fjaros/core

5. cd theconstruct

6. cmake . && make This will take about half an hour to compile And will produce two key binaries: src/realmd/realmd and src/mangosd/mangosd

7. Move these files to the directory where you want to run your server

8. Go back and unrar Lights Hope bropack (the full download from earlier) - we will only use the data and config files from here. Move files MaNGOS/realmd.conf and MaNGOS/mangosd.conf to the same folder as above Move directories MaNGOS/data and MaNGOS/logs to the same folder as above

-- SETUP DATABASE: (secure/setup your mariadb/mysql however you like first) 9) sudo mysql If you do not care to setup your mysql securely, you can just run: grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'@'localhost' identified by 'root';

!!! DISCLAIMER: THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSECURE AND WILL GET YOUR SERVER HACKED. DO NOT DO THIS. !!!

10. create database characters; create database mangos; create database logs; create database realmd; \q

11. cd MaNGOS/sql

12. 7z x FULL_WORLD_DB_19_06_2018.7z - (or whatever the name may be)

13. sudo mysql -uroot mangos < FULL_WORLD_DB_19_06_2018.sql (or whatever you set the mysql user as)

14. cd Base

15. sudo mysql -uroot characters < characters.sql && sudo mysql -uroot realmd < logon.sql && sudo mysql -uroot logs < logs.sql

16. sudo mysql

INSERT INTO realmd.realmlist (id, name, address, port, icon, realmflags, timezone, allowedSecurityLevel) VALUES (
	1, 'your_server_name', 'your_external_ip', 8085, 1, 0, -9, 1
)

IMPORTANT: the address 'your_external_ip' is the IP users will use to connect to the server. it is the EXTERNAL IP of your server.

-- SETUP SERVER: 16) Go to the folder where you moved the compiled files 17) Open realmd.conf, you will see line LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;root;realmd" Change the root;root to be your mysql username and password . if you did not secure your mysql you can keep it as is. Change line LogsDir = "logs\" to LogsDir = "logs/" Everything else can be kept the same here

19. Open mangosd.conf Again scroll down and look at the mysql connection strings. Make sure the user/password is correct.

Change LogsDir = "logs\" to LogsDir = "logs/" Change DataDir = "data\" to DataDir = "data/"

Everything else can be kept the same, but you can modify any server-specific settings in this file. For example rate of XP gain, or how much money each character starts with.

-- RUN SERVER: 20) Finally we need to run everything! First make sure both components work. First we'll run the login server:

Run: ./realmd -c realmd.conf If it starts successfully you should see this output:

mangos@wow:~/build$ ./realmd -c realmd.conf
Core revision: unknown / 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 / Linux_x64 (little-endian) [realm-daemon]
<Ctrl-C> to stop.

Using configuration file realmd.conf.
Max allowed open files is 1024
Database: 127.0.0.1;3306;root;root;realmd
Added realm "your_server_name"

Now you can CTRL+C out of it and run it in the background. For instance via: nohup ./realmd -c realmd.conf &

Now we'll run the game server: ./mangosd -c mangosd.conf If it starts successfully you should see this output or similar:

==========================================================
Current content is set to Patch 1.12: Drums of War.
==========================================================

World initialized.
SERVER STARTUP TIME: 0 minutes 3 seconds
Max allowed socket connections 1024

mangos>
>> Only expired mails (need to be return or delete) or DB table `mail` is empty.

Now you can create your account! Type: account create (replacing and with your login information)

And you can set this account to be highest admin via: account set gmlevel 6

CLIENT: In the WoW 1.12 client you downloaded should be a file called realmlist.wtf. Open this file in a text editor and delete everything. Then input set realmlist <external_ip> where <external_ip> is the IP of your server and MUST be the same as the one you input to the SQL command in step 16.

And that's all! Have fun!
