Software requirements (Windows)

I. Clone Corona Core & ScriptDev2

On windows platform open Git Bash and type this command:

git clone https://github.com/CoronaCore/OneServer.git

After the progress done, type the following commands:

cd OneServer

git clone https://github.com/CoronaCore/OneScripts.git src/bindings/ScriptDev2

II. Clone Database Stuff

On windows platform open Git Bash and type this command:

git clone https://github.com/CoronaCore/OneDatabase.git

Directory Structure

Now you should have the following folders:

  • OneServer (containing the sources and ScriptDev2)
  • OneDatabase (containing the database stuff)

I. Compiling Corona Core (Windows)

  • Navigate to the location of cloned subfolders and open *OneServer\win*

  • Open the "sln" file that fits your version of Visual C++

mangosdVC120.sln for Visual C++ 2013

mangosdVC110.sln for Visual C++ 2012

mangosdVC100.sln for Visual C++ 2010

  • Wait for Visual C++ to finish loading.
  • Open the menu "Build" → "Configuration Manager"

Choose "Release" in the drop down box for "Active Solution Configuration"

The drop down box "Active Solution Platform" should already be set to "Win32"

Close the window

  • Click the menu "Build" → "Build Solution"

II. Compiling ScriptDev2 (Windows)

  • Navigate to the location of cloned subfolders and open *OneServer\src\bindings\ScriptDev2*

  • Open the "sln" file that fits your version of Visual C++

scriptVC120.sln for Visual C++ 2013

scriptVC110.sln for Visual C++ 2012

scriptVC100.sln for Visual C++ 2010

  • Wait for Visual C++ to finish loading.

  • Open the menu "Build" → "Configuration Manager"

..* Choose "Release" in the drop down box for "Active Solution Configuration"

The drop down box "Active Solution Platform" should already be set to "Win32"

Close the window

  • Click the menu "Build" → "Build Solution"

Extract files from the client

  • Copy these files from *OneServer\bin\Win32_Release* folder to your World of Warcraft folder

Run ExtractResources.sh from your C:\World of Warcraft.

For this you can open a "Git Bash" on your C:\World of Warcraft folder and type ExtractResources.sh

Depending on your installation settings, a simple double click onto the "ExtractResources.sh" file from your explorer might also work

You must extract DBC/maps and vmaps for CMaNGOS to work, mmaps are optional (and take very long)

When finish, move the folders maps, dbc and vmaps - optionally mmaps - that have been created in your C:\World of Warcraft to your C:\Mangos\run (the buildings folder is not required and can be deleted)

On *nix this step is more complicated, it is actually suggested to extract the client files from a Windows system. You need to copy them (by default configuration) into the directory into which you installed CMaNGOS:

/mangos/run/bin
