How To Make a MaNGOS Server Easily (Windows)

[Kreeate]

Read the bit under "Additional Shit"

"If you require compiling a 32-bit server, follow the guide but when you compile ScriptDev2 and the MaNGOS core just leave the Active solution configuration and Active solution platform at Win32. This will also change the directory of your compiled binaries. They would be in \mangos\bin\Win32_Release\."

nope followed it all but when i look into the file folder the win folder sits in another folder not directly in the mangos folder. Also when looking through the folders for the file i couldn't find it all i found was VC100_AD.sin

but i will try again from the beginning to see if i did something wrong. i'll let you know lol.


oh yes another issue i was having was my C++ visual will not allow me to choose x64 only Win32 or another x32 application for the active solution platform.

That is strange. I don't know what that file is. The \win\ folder should only have 3 VS solutions (VC80, VC90, VC100) and a folder for each containing all the data for building.

As far as the building problem, I'm just gonna take a guess and say you're using a 32-bit processor and that's why it won't allow you to build a 64-bit-native application. I'd check myself but I'm running a 64-bit processor with a 64-bit OS. But if you are running 64-bit, compiling the emulator in 32-bit shouldn't cause any problems since 32-bit programs are compatible with 64-bit, just not the other way around. Only very few 32-bit programs will not work or be buggy in 64-bit (Antivirus and drivers mostly).

You can verify all your files by looking through here: https://github.com/mangos/mangos

Big thanks :) Works perfect for me but only in step [Compiling MaNGOS > Active solution platform] I used 32bit compiling method because, I don't know why, x64 didn't work.

irmanbauer: Your error is caused by using the wrong version of WoW. MaNGOS does not support 4.x. The current version of MaNGOS is for WoW v3.3.5a Build 12340.

Bladez201: You need to use WoW v3.3.5a Build 12340.

[irmanbauer]
