CMangos Setup Script

This script automates the installation and configuration of CMangos with playerbots and ahbot.

What it does

• Checks for Root Privileges: Ensures the script is not ran with root permissions.
• OS Verification: Prompts the user to select their OS.
• Dependency Installation: Prompts the user to chose an expansion and then automatically installs all necessary packages and dependencies required for CMangos.
• Directory Creation: Sets up the necessary directory structure for CMangos.
• Repository Cloning: Clones the CMangos core, playerbots, and classic database repositories from GitHub.
• Project Building: Compiles the CMangos project using CMake and installs the binaries.
• Configuration File Setup: Copies and configures the necessary configuration files for the server.
• Database Installation: Sets up the MySQL database and configures it according to the user's specifications.
• Systemd Service Setup: Creates systemd service files for managing the CMangos server processes.
• Realmlist IP Configuration: Prompts the user to change the realmlist IP for connecting to the server.
• Extract files from the client: Prompts the user to extract the data files from the client.

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu 20.04-22.04, Debian or Arch Linux.
• Root access to the server and an internet connection to download dependencies and repositories.
• MySQL server should be installed and running.
• Copy of the client in ~/client (OPTIONAL)

Usage

1. Download the Script: Clone or download this repository.
2. Make the Script Executable: Run the following command:

   chmod +x setup_script.sh

3. Execute the Script: Run the script without root privileges:

   ./setup.sh

Follow the Prompts: The script will guide you through the setup process. You will have the option to change the realmlist IP and extract the client data.

Important Notes

After running the script, you will need to modify the mangosd.conf file to disable the console for the systemd service to function correctly. Look for the line Console.Enable and change its value to 0. You can enable the services using the following commands after modifying the configuration:

sudo systemctl enable realmd.service
sudo systemctl enable mangosd.service
sudo systemctl enable mangosd.timer

You can see domain guide here and if you want to monitor your server you can see the guide here

Limitations

The script does not handle the creation of game accounts; you will need to do this manually after the installation. It does not include any additional configurations for custom settings or modifications to the game.
