Mangos [HELP] DBC Error When Running mangosd.exe

-Mangos has been compiled from the latest revision.
-World of Warcraft folder fully updated and installed with Burning Crusade, which is also fully updated.
-Used an ad.exe compiled from the latest revision to extract all the maps. Moved maps folder from World of Warcraft to the server directory.
-Downloaded mpqe.exe (v1.08 ShadowFlare MPQ API Library) from some random site. Used it to extract from enUS's MPQ's. Moved all the dbc files from the MPQOUT/DBFilesClient to a dbc folder in the server directory

I run mangosd.exe, after I run realmd.exe, and a handful of errors starts showing up.

Here's a copy of the output:

2010-01-23 19:35:23 Initialize data stores...

I would appreciate it anyone could help.

Hmm, yea. I just noticed. Used the dbc files extracted by the latest ad.exe, but the errors are still the same.
you must have the 3.3.0a patch installed nothing lower nothing higher

Delete all DBC folders. Download the newest Mangos revision and use the ad.exe in the contrib folder. You can cancel ad.exe once it's finished extracting the DBC files. Like gregon said, make sure you have 3.3.0a.

I downloaded to install World of Warcraft and the two expansions. I fully update each of them and when I run it, it says 3.3.0 11159. Is this 3.3.0a? If not, how do I get it.

Oh I see. I thought 3.3.0a was an older version because master said not to use a lower or higher version of the client. So, I was confused.

I recompiled all the necessary tools to get the dbc's, maps, and vmaps, and tried the extraction process all over again. Now I have a new problem when trying to extract maps. It gets stuck at 44% when "Processing..........".

Why? I'm going to restart my computer to see if it will do anything because this is kind of random.

You are using the newest ad.exe from Mangos right? You are using the master branch too, right?

It works now. I reinstalled and recompiled everything, including WoW.

Another question. What registration website should I start off with?
