**MangosZero - Vanilla WoW server**
===
**Mangos** is an open source project written in [C++][7] . It's fast, runs on multiple
platforms and stores game data in [MySQL][40] or [MariaDB][41]. It also has
optional support for SOAP.
If you liked the original incarnation of [World of Warcraft][2] and still want to play it,
this is the branch for you. We provide an authentication server where you can manage your users,
and a world server which serves game content just like the original did back then.
It aims to be 100% compatible with the 3 final versions of Vanilla [World of Warcraft][2],
namely [patch 1.12.1][4], [patch 1.12.2][5] & [patch 1.12.3][6].
**IT DOES NOT SUPPORT 1.13.x** and beyond which is the newly released Classic Experience (NuClassic).
On top of that each update is automatically built by [Github Actions][10] (Linux/MAC) and [AppVeyor][11] (Windows)
as you can see by the images in the heading above! We do love green builds, and working things.
Requirements
------------
The server supports a wide range of operating systems, and various compiler platforms.
In order to do that, we use various free cross-platform libraries and use [CMake][19] (v3.12+) to provide
a cross-platform build system which adapts to your chosen operating system and compiler.
Operating systems
-----------------
Currently we support running the server on the following operating systems:
* **[Windows][20]**, 32 bit and 64 bit. Windows Server 2008 (or newer) or Windows 8 (or newer) is recommended.
* **Linux**, 32 bit and 64 bit. [Debian 7][21] and [Ubuntu 12.04 LTS][22] are
recommended. Other distributions with similar package versions will work, too.
* **BSD**, 32 bit and 64 bit. [FreeBSD][23], [NetBSD][24], [OpenBSD][25] are recommended.
Of course, newer versions should work, too. In the case of Windows, matching
server versions will work, too.
Compilers
---------
Building the server is currently possible with these compilers:
* **[Microsoft Visual Studio][31] 32 bit and 64 bit.** All editions of Visual Studio
from 2015 upwards are officially supported (although support for 2015 and 2017 are end of life.)
* **[Clang][33]**, 32 bit and 64 bit. The Clang compiler can be used on any
supported operating system.
Dependencies
------------
The server stands on the shoulders of several well-known Open Source libraries plus
a few awesome, but less known libraries to prevent us from inventing the wheel again.
**Please note that Linux and Mac OS X users should install packages using
their systems package management instead of source packages.**
* **[Git][34] / [Github for Windows][35]**: This version control software allows you to get the source files in the first place.
* **[MySQL][40]** / **[MariaDB][41]**: These databases are used to store content and user data.
* **[ACE][43]**: aka Adaptive Communication Environment, provides us with a solid cross-platform framework for abstracting operating system specific details.
* **[Recast][44]**: In order to create navigation data from the client's map files, Recast is used to do the dirty work. It provides functions for rendering, pathing, etc.
* **[G3D][45]**: This engine provides the basic framework for handling 3D data and is used to handle basic map data.
* **[Stormlib][46]**: Provides an abstraction layer for reading from the client's data files.
* **[Zlib][53]/[Zlib for Windows][51]** provides compression algorithms used in both MPQ archive handling and the client/server protocol.
* **[Bzip2][54]/[Bzip2 for Windows][52]** provides compression algorithms used in MPQ archives.
* **[OpenSSL][48]/[OpenSSL for Windows][55]** provides encryption algorithms used when authenticating clients.
**ACE**, **Recast**, **G3D**, **Stormlib**, **Zlib** and **Bzip2** are included in the standard distribution as
we rely on specific versions.
Optional dependencies
---------------------
* **[Doxygen][49]**: If you want to export HTML or PDF formatted documentation for the Mangos API, you should install this.
We have a small, but extremely friendly and helpful community managed by MadMax and Antz.
Our discord/forum motto is:
```js
'Be nice or Be somewhere else'
```
Any trolling or unpleasantness is swiftly dealt with !!
