This is my first repack from scratch. It uses a fully updated UDB. Credit to lordtom for noobpacking materials.

Install instructions:
1) Extract "mapextractor" to C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\ and run ad.exe. When it's done, move /maps/ back to the /MANGOS/ folder.
2) Run "mysql" then "restarter"
3) Set your realmlist to 127.0.0.1 and run wow. Log in with username 0, 1, 2, or 3. The higher the number, the higher the GM level. Password is same as username.
COMMON PROBLEMS/QUESTIONS:
I can't extract the repack!
Solution: You need to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Once it's installed, right click the archive and click "Extract Here".
The mysql console closes as soon as I open it.
Solution: You installed mysql when following someone else's guide. You need to disable or uninstall it before running the included mysql server.
How do I disable a previous MySQL installation?
Answer: Press control+alt+delete and click task manager. Open the "Processes" tab and sort by "image name". Find the one that starts with "MySQL", click it, and click End Process.
Ad.exe isn't working/I can't extract my maps
Solution: Make sure ad.exe and the maps folder are in your /World of Warcraft/ folder (and NOT the /MANGOS/ folder). Ad.exe needs to access files from your wow/tbc install to extract the maps.
How do I create more accounts?
Answer: With the server running, select the mangosd window and type the following:
create usernamehere passwordhere
setbc usernamehere 1 (to enable TBC)
setgm usernamehere (0, 1, 2, or 3)

Why does extracting the maps take so long?
Answer: Because there are a lot of maps. Fun things to do while your maps are extracting include: folding laundry, washing your car, feeding your pets, visiting gettysburg, writing a novel, getting a degree in mechanical engineering, and having grandchildren.

(see FAQ question about gm commands)
and you can't use your old item creators, because the database structure has been updated by the mangos dev team. visit mangosproject.org (account needed) for information on how to update your old database
Also, I've tested this a dozen times, I'm 100% positive it works with latest patch. =D

Hey, on the making the server public part, what file do I edit?
Im at C:\Documents and Settings\Oliver Roundtree\Desktop\MANGOS\DB\data\realmd
but there are 3 realmlist files,
one is a FRM file, one is a MYD file, and one is a MYI file.
EDIT* I think I know its its the MYD file, but that and all other files in the realmd database show up as a bunch of confusing symbols and squares, with the name and server adress clearly visible, but when I change those then mangos will throw off an error and not load
Dose anyone knowhow to change the MySQL server pass, because i D/Led it about a year ago and i havent messed with it and i forgot the pass. and its not Root because i tryed.
i`l create a website for mangos ... gonna test it ... and if it works i`l make it public 
the people who help you..
