[REPACK] Turtle WoW: Mysteries of Azeroth (Patch 1.17.2)

Repack Overview

This is a compiled version of the Turtle WoW source. It allows you to explore the custom expansion content that standard 1.12.1 servers do not have.

• Core: Custom MaNGOS Fork (Turtle WoW 1.17.2).

• Content: Includes custom races (High Elves, Goblins), new zones (Tel'Abim, Hyjal), and the "Survival" profession.

• Client: Includes the matching 1.17.2 Client so you don't have to hunt for patches.

How to Setup (Step-by-Step)

1. Preparation

1. Create a folder on your root drive (e.g., C:\TurtleServer) to avoid permission issues.

2. Extract TurtleWoW 1172 Repack.7z into this folder.

3. Extract TurtleWoW 1172 Client.zip into a separate folder (e.g., C:\TurtleClient).

2. Start the Server

Go to your server folder and run these three files in order:

1. 1.Start MySQL.bat (Keep this window open!).

2. 2.Realm server (Keep this window open!).

3. 3.World server(Keep this window open!).

   • Note: The console may show red text saying "Scripts not found." Ignore this. It is normal for this repack.

3. Client Configuration (Crucial Step)

You need to edit TWO files to ensure the connection works.

File A: The Root Realmlist

1. Go to your main client folder (C:\TurtleClient\).

2. Open realmlist.wtf with Notepad.

3. Change the text to: set realmlist 127.0.0.1

File B: The Config File

1. Navigate to C:\TurtleClient\WTF\.

2. Open Config.wtf with Notepad.

3. Find the lines for portal, realmlist, and patchlist and update them to localhost (do not delete the rest of the file, just modify these lines):

   SET portal "127.0.0.1"
   SET realmlist "127.0.0.1"
   SET patchlist "127.0.0.1"
   

4. Save the file.

4. How to Login

1. Do NOT run TurtleWoW.exe (The Launcher). It will try to update your client and break it.

2. Run WoW.exe directly.

3. Login Credentials:

   • Username: 123

   • Password: 123

Database

The default account (123) should have GM powers.

❓ FAQ & Troubleshooting

Q: The Realm Selection screen says "Offline" in red text.

• A: This is a visual bug. Because you are forcing the connection to 127.0.0.1 in your config files, the game ignores the status check. Just click "Okay" or "Enter World" and it will let you in.

Q: I get an "Incompatible" error when logging in.

• A: You are likely using the wrong WoW.exe or client version.

  • Fix: Ensure you are launching the game from the 1.17.2 Client folder provided in this thread. You cannot use the official Turtle WoW live client, as it is updated weekly and will not match this server's version.

Q: The server console is full of red "Script not found" errors.

• A: This is normal. This repack is based on a leaked source code that did not include every single script for holiday events or complex boss encounters. The core game (leveling, dungeons, custom races) works fine, but the console will complain about the missing scripts on startup.

Q: I created a character, but I don't see High Elves or Goblins.

• A: This means your client is not reading the custom patches.

  • Fix: Ensure you are running WoW.exe (not a launcher) and that you have not modified the Data folder. If you are using a standard 1.12.1 client, you will only see standard races. You must use the provided custom client.

Q: My GM account (123) can't create items or fly.

• A: Sometimes the default account permissions don't stick. You need to fix it in the database:

  1. Open HeidiSQL and connect to 127.0.0.1.

  2. Open the auth database -> account_access table.

  3. Find your account ID (usually 1).

  4. Change the gmlevel to 3 (Admin) or 4 (Console Console).

  5. Restart the server.

Q: I can't edit the server settings (rates, XP, etc.).

• A: This compiled version has "hardcoded" settings. Editing the mangosd.conf file often has no effect because the core was compiled to ignore certain external configs. You are playing with the "Blizzlike x1" ruleset by default.

Q: The game stutters or has low FPS.

• A: The 1.12/1.17 engine is old and can struggle on modern Windows 10/11.

  • Fix: Open Config.wtf and ensure SET gxApi "d3d9" is present. If you still lag, try changing it to SET gxApi "opengl".
