How to Set Up Mangos in "World of Warcraft"
- 1). Create a new folder in your C: drive's root directory. Open your C drive by clicking on your computer's Start menu icon. Choose "Computer" and then select "Local Disk C://" from the menu. Click "New Folder" at the top of your window. Type "MaNGOS Source" in the name field and click anywhere on the screen to save your folder name.
- 2). Right-click your new folder and select "SVN Checkout" from the drop-down menu. Choose "URL of Repository" from the pop-up box that will appear. Enter the MaNGOS source code URL in the text box. The source code URL for MaNGOS is "mangos.svn.s...t/mangos/trunk/." Include "https://" at the beginning of the code. Click "OK" to begin your core download. Once download is complete, write down any messages you get for later reference.
- 3). Open your "MaNGOS Source" folder and find the file named C:\MANGOS SOURCE\src\bindings\. Right-click the file and choose "SVN Checkout" again. Choose "URL of Repository" and enter the source code URL for "ScriptDev2." The URL is: scriptdev2.s...root/scriptdev2. Type http:// before the URL. Once downloaded, write down your messages as before if the download was successful.
- 4). Right-click on your "MaNGOS Source" folder and select "Copy." Make a new folder and name it "Workbench." Open your new folder by double-clicking on it. Type C:\workbench\win\ in the search bar to access your Visual Studios program files. Double-click the file name that corresponds with your Visual Studios version. These are the files that contain the sln extension and are followed by the year of release of your program version.
- 5). Select "Build Menu" from the Visual Studio menu bar. Select "Configuration Manager" from the drop-down menu. On the pop-up window, locate "Active Solution Configuration" and click "Release." Go back to the "Build" menu and select "Build Solution." Your script will begin building and may take an hour or more depending on your processor speed. Ensure all warnings state that there are zero failed in the bottom of the build screen.
- 6). Return to your "Workbench" folder and open C:\workbench\src\bindings\ScriptDev2. Locate the same sln extension file you used before within this file. Access the "Build" menu once again and select "Configuration Manager." Set your "Active Solution Configuration" to Release and click "Close." Choose "Build Solution" once again from your "Build" menu.
- 7). Copy all your files into the directory you will be using for your server. Remove the "in" from the end of your ".conf.in" files.
