Enabling the Misc items in the cfg will post many undesired items onto the auctionhouse. The best way (so far) to get glyphs to show up seems to be the following - all credit goes to Mightylink @ cmangos. (Haven't verified all id's one by one, but assuming they are correct for wotlk) All you need to do is add all the glyphs to the force include line, this will ignore any settings and make them start appearing at random times. Here are all the glyphs sorted by class: Code: |Death Knight: 43533,43534,43535,43536,43537,43538,43539,43541,43542,43543,43544,43545,43546,43547,43548,43549,43550,43551,43552,43553,43554,43671,43672,43673,43825,43826,43827,45799,45800,45803,45804,45805,45806 Warrior: 43395,43396,43397,43398,43399,43400,43412,43413,43414,43415,43416,43417,43418,43419,43420,43421,43422,43423,43424,43425,43426,43427,43428,43429,43430,43431,43432,45790,45792,45793,45794,45795,45797,49084 Paladin: 41092,41094,41095,41096,41097,41098,41099,41100,41101,41102,41103,41104,41105,41106,41107,41108,41109,41110,43340,43365,43366,43367,43368,43369,43867,43868,43869,45741,45742,45743,45744,45745,45746,45747 Shaman: 41517,41518,41524,41526,41527,41529,41530,41531,41532,41533,41534,41535,41536,41537,41538,41539,41540,41541,41542,41547,41552,43344,43381,43385,43386,43388,43725,44923,45770,45771,45772,45775,45776,45777,45778 Hunter: 42897,42898,42899,42900,42901,42902,42903,42904,42905,42906,42907,42908,42909,42910,42911,42912,42913,42914,42915,42916,42917,43338,43350,43351,43354,43355,43356,45625,45731,45732,45733,45734,45735 Rogue: 42954,42955,42956,42957,42958,42959,42960,42961,42962,42963,42964,42965,42966,42967,42968,42969,42970,42971,42972,42973,42974,43343,43376,43377,43378,43379,43380,45761,45762,45764,45766,45767,45768,45769 Druid: 40896,40897,40899,40900,40901,40902,40903,40906,40908,40909,40912,40913,40914,40915,40916,40919,40920,40921,40922,40923,40924,43316,43331,43332,43334,43335,43674,44928,44922,45601,45602,45603,45604,45622,45623,46372,48720,50125 Mage: 42734,42735,42736,42737,42738,42739,42740,42741,42742,42743,42744,42745,42746,42747,42748,42749,42750,42751,42752,42753,42754,43339,43357,43359,43360,43361,43364,44684,44955,44920,45736,45737,45738,45740,50045 Warlock: 42453,42454,42455,42456,42457,42458,42459,42460,42461,42462,42463,42464,42465,42466,42467,42468,42469,42470,42471,42472,42473,43389,43390,43391,43392,43393,43394,45779,45780,45781,45782,45783,45785,45789,50077 Priest: 42396,42397,42398,42399,42400,42401,42402,42403,42404,42405,42406,42407,42408,42409,42410,42411,42412,42414,42415,42416,42417,43341,43370,43371,43372,43373,43374,45753,45755,45756,45757,45758,45760 | And here are all the glyphs together you can just copy and paste into the config: Code: |43533,43534,43535,43536,43537,43538,43539,43541,43542,43543,43544,43545,43546,43547,43548,43549,43550,43551,43552,43553,43554,43671,43672,43673,43825,43826,43827,45799,45800,45803,45804,45805,45806,43395,43396,43397,43398,43399,43400,43412,43413,43414,43415,43416,43417,43418,43419,43420,43421,43422,43423,43424,43425,43426,43427,43428,43429,43430,43431,43432,45790,45792,45793,45794,45795,45797,49084,41092,41094,41095,41096,41097,41098,41099,41100,41101,41102,41103,41104,41105,41106,41107,41108,41109,41110,43340,43365,43366,43367,43368,43369,43867,43868,43869,45741,45742,45743,45744,45745,45746,45747,41517,41518,41524,41526,41527,41529,41530,41531,41532,41533,41534,41535,41536,41537,41538,41539,41540,41541,41542,41547,41552,43344,43381,43385,43386,43388,43725,44923,45770,45771,45772,45775,45776,45777,45778,42897,42898,42899,42900,42901,42902,42903,42904,42905,42906,42907,42908,42909,42910,42911,42912,42913,42914,42915,42916,42917,43338,43350,43351,43354,43355,43356,45625,45731,45732,45733,45734,45735,42954,42955,42956,42957,42958,42959,42960,42961,42962,42963,42964,42965,42966,42967,42968,42969,42970,42971,42972,42973,42974,43343,43376,43377,43378,43379,43380,45761,45762,45764,45766,45767,45768,45769,40896,40897,40899,40900,40901,40902,40903,40906,40908,40909,40912,40913,40914,40915,40916,40919,40920,40921,40922,40923,40924,43316,43331,43332,43334,43335,43674,44928,44922,45601,45602,45603,45604,45622,45623,46372,48720,50125,42734,42735,42736,42737,42738,42739,42740,42741,42742,42743,42744,42745,42746,42747,42748,42749,42750,42751,42752,42753,42754,43339,43357,43359,43360,43361,43364,44684,44955,44920,45736,45737,45738,45740,50045,42453,42454,42455,42456,42457,42458,42459,42460,42461,42462,42463,42464,42465,42466,42467,42468,42469,42470,42471,42472,42473,43389,43390,43391,43392,43393,43394,45779,45780,45781,45782,45783,45785,45789,50077,42396,42397,42398,42399,42400,42401,42402,42403,42404,42405,42406,42407,42408,42409,42410,42411,42412,42414,42415,42416,42417,43341,43370,43371,43372,43373,43374,45753,45755,45756,45757,45758,45760

How to add Waypoints to a creature: Note: I'm just adding a copy paste tutorial without further information on the DB-Structure behind it, because i know, you will understand this soon enough.Example: We want to add this Guy some waypoints 1.) Get the latest sniffer from http://community.trinitycore.org/topic/9849-trinity-cores-sniffer-for-wow-62020338/ 2.) Log in on retail and start the attach_sniffer and follow the Creature until it has completed it's whole path. It's important, that you DO NOT RUN OUT of sight of this mob, else the path will look really creapy. 3.) Close the sniffer if the Path is completed one time 4.) You will see a .pkt - file in your wow directory now 5.) Download and compile https://github.com/TrinityCore/WowPacketParser 6.) Go to the Releasefolder after you finished compiling 7.) Copy the .pkt-file and move the file with drag-and-drop over the WowPacketParser.exe Note: It's recommended to keep these settings <add key="DBEnabled" value="false" /> in WowPacketParser.exe.config 8.) Now you will see a .txt file in your releasefolder 9.) Download and compile https://github.com/Kittnz/WaypointCreator (Branch 6.x) 10.) Go to the release folder and open up the Waypoint Creator.exe 11.) Import the .txt-file 12.) Search for the entry in the searchfield (in this case entry: 74228) 13.) Result: - Rightclick on the table and hit: Create SQL 14.) In the SQL-Output you will now find: Use the command: .go 1923.215 -4636.423 33.2019 to see if you are on the right position 15.) Go ingame (Tc-Server) and choose a fitting creature which is near the path. In this case it's creature with GUID: 286504 - You always find the right guid if you select the creature and type: .npc info 16.) Replace the XXXXXX in SET @NPC := XXXXXX; with the GUID -> SET @NPC := 286504; 17.) Repeat this for all other Paths

if you don't have any custom thing i sugest you to drop world database, if you have custom things i recomend you to pull to tdb 335.19031, then 335.19041.... there are to much commits betweeen your db and head.

Since we are targeting C++17 compilers, GCC 6.3, clang 4 and Visual Studio 2017 under version 15.7 will become unsupported after summer We give this warning to allow people to ready their systems with enough time to update (it's very likely Debian 10 will be shipped on 2nd quarter 2019).

I wrote an article explaining why I hate most of the World of Warcraft private servers. This is my personal opinion and if you are a developer I ask you to read the disclaimer first. I'd appreciate your feedback about it, enjoy! https://github.com/FrancescoBorzi/why-I-hate-wow-private-servers/blob/master/ENGLISH.md

Hi Folks, As mentioned in a later post, I no longer play WoW and decided to not port the trinitycore packages to Debian 11 'Bullseye' which was just released. I have discontinued builds and removed the packages from the repo. Thank you all for using the packages in the past few years and all of the feedback I received! Please check the 'Rolling your own' section on how to set this up for yourself! :-) Cheers! == Original message == Hi folks, Having issues compiling? Don't want to wait for an hour to compile a new server? Want a steady stream of updates? Well then, you came to the right place! With the following instructions, one can install their own TrinityCore server using pre-compiled packages. The current state of the 2 branches is: - 3.3.5a: fully functional and installable using the instructions in this topic - master: Still WIP, the packages are compiled and in the repository, but still need to be tested and validated against the installation instructions. Not compiled automatically. == Background == There are 3 packages, server, database and tools:The database package will also install MariaDB from the default Debian Repository Server package: pre-compiled version using the instructions provided on the TrinityCore wiki. Date and commit-hash are included in version tag. By default this package will also install database, but it is possible to run the database on a remote server. And it will not overwrite any configuration files in place without asking. Database package: Contains TDB335.62 with all the database updates provided by the commit. Also contains a slightly modified auth_database (which has to be setup with the provided script), so you can control the server while it's started without console (in order to run it as a service, details below). Tools package: contains the extractors, so you can run them on your desktop with the client instead of uploading a copy to the server. I also included a script that will queue all the commands you need to generate a data package for your TC server. This package isn't supposed to run on the same system as the server (because it would require you to upload a complete WoW client to your server). The packages come with a default configuration to support service control by SystemD. A few details: /opt/trinitycore - server files and data files /var/log/trinitycore - server logs /var/run/trinitycore - PID files See https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/issues/18069 for more info on how and why == Update frequency == These packages will be recompiled everyday at midnight, compiling/uploading takes about an hour per tree, so expect fresh packages: - 3.3.5a: around 01:30 AM CEST - master: not compiled automatically (per 2019-09-09) The script will automatically download the latest TDB version if it is updated in the source files. If there are any changes with the configuration files (new options added etc.) I will add them as soon as I can. == Installation Instructions == This instruction will help you setup a TrinityCore server on a Debian Buster server with it's own local MySQL server. If you require a seperate MySQL server, please adjust where needed. All packages provided are only tested on Debian Buster stable (with updates). !!! WILL NO LONGER WORK ON DEBIAN VERSIONS BELOW 10 !!! It is in your best interest to read the entire instruction first before installing! Install a server with Debian Buster and log in on it You don't need anything except the basic install! Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://repo.element-networks.nl/ buster main Add the repository key for package verification wget http://repo.element-networks.nl/public.gpg -O - | apt-key add - Update your package lists apt-get update Install the server 3.3.5a: apt-get install trinitycore-server3.3.5-en master: apt-get install trinitycore-server-master-en NOTE: This command will install the TrinityCore server and all it's dependencies (including a MariaDB server) If you want to run a seperate database server, run this command with '--no-install-recommends' to skip the installation of the database package. FIRST TIME ONLY: Run the following script to setup the databases setup_database.sh If you run the database on a different server, run the script on that server. Also, change worldserver.conf and authserver.conf accordingly! Extract the MAPS, MMAPS and VMAPS using the extractors. Pro-tip, if you have a (fast) Linux (gaming) desktop, do the following: Install the trinitycore-tools3.3.5 package on your desktop with the WoW client. apt-get install trinitycore-tools3.3.5-en Go to your WoW client folder and run the script cd /to/my/wowclient generate_data_package.sh After extracting all the maps, mmaps, vmaps and dbc's it will ask you the following question: # Your data package is in /to/my/wowclient/trinitycore-data.tgz # Would you like this script to apply it on your server? y/N If you select yes, it will ask you where to upload the data package See https://trinitycore.atlassian.net/wiki/display/tc/Linux+Server+Setup for all the details surrounding the extracting process. Start the server! systemctl start trinitycore-authserver.service systemctl start trinitycore-worldserver.service You can control the server using the following command: telnet localhost 3443 Username: admin Password: ChangeMeNOW! Change the password for the admin account: .account set password admin NEWPASSWORD NEWPASSWORD Create a new user .account create USERNAME PASSWORD Press Enter again to log out Set your client's realmlist to your newly installed server GameClientDir/Data/enUS/realmlist.wtf Note: enUS could also be enGB if you have a European version of the client Start your game, log in and enjoy! == Upgrade to Debian 10 Buster == When upgrading my system to Debian 10 (Buster) I ran into an issue where my MariaDB server was no longer starting properly. In order to fix it, do the following: Make a snapshot of your current machine (and always make backups!) Before upgrading, run the following command, this will upgrade some MariaDB internals to the current version you have running. If you are already up to date, the script will say so. No need to run it with --force mysql_upgrade -u root -p Upgrade your system to Debian 10 via the usual way (lots and lots of guides already on the interwebz, find one) When you run your server on LXC, please enable Nesting and restart the LXC container again. After starting the server, check if MariaDB is running, and run the upgrade script (step 2) again to update MariaDB's internals again. == Updating == Updating the server to a newer version is very easy, I do it using the following script: #!/bin/bash # Upgrade the TrinityCore server to the latest build # Stop running server systemctl stop trinitycore-worldserver.service # Upgrade packages, change the packagename if you wish to run the 'master' branch apt-get update apt-get upgrade trinitycore-server3.3.5-en trinitycore-database3.3.5-en -y -o Dpkg::Options::='--force-confdef' -o Dpkg::Options::='--force-confold' # Start server systemctl start trinitycore-worldserver.service == Feedback == Any feedback is appreciated! I have been running my test-server with this setup for a few days now and it is still alive and kicking. However, my userbase is quite small (5) and I would like to know if the current way of updating is doable. Thoughts, feelings, emotions? == Rolling your own? == Want to compile it yourself, but make it easier? Don't trust me? Need custom patches? No problem! Below are the recipes I use for the build script I use to generate the binaries and the packages. They are still only suitable for Deb based distro's, but feel free to roll your own! https://github.com/Thulium-Drake/trinitycore-recipes

This table exists only to send sniffed hotfixes for db2 files that are not loaded by TC. You should never try to manually insert data into it. If you really must know - blob is simply the entire db2 row written as binary

Here, have mine https://paste2.org/PMN1IWYK

Two new full world database has been upload to Github Releases. TDB 735.00 (2018/02/19) was released for the master branch (previous release TDB 720.00 from 2017/04/18). TDB 335.19031 (2019/03/19) was released for the 3.3.5 branch (previous release TDB 335.64 from 2018/02/19). Notes: If you are installing a new DB you only need the 2 full SQLs plus any file at /sql/updates/world/ and sql/updates/hotfixes/ on Trinitycore repository. On 3.3.5: single full SQL file plus any file at /sql/updates/world/

Let me first be clear on one thing: I do really appreciate this project, its history and developers and all the efforts that have been made with time to make it so great during all those years. But currently WoW development is slowly dying, and I feel a big change is needed in order to bring back that entusiasm that is no longer here. The current state of the project has some major pain points: - CONTENT. All the content after WOTLK is not stable or complete, so it doesn't add much value to keep what we currently have on master branch; - CONTRIBUTORS. We have less and less contributors, there is no much hope to see the master branch fully playable in future - CODE. The code is full of anti patterns (huge class files, spaghetti code, etc...). This is mostly due to the fact that the codebase has been modified for years and years by many different people. Because of that, it is really complicated for newcomers or less experienced programmers to be able to contribute; - TESTS. There are no tests. At all. No unit test, no integration tests, etc... It is nearly impossible to be sure that you don't break something whenever you make a change in the code; - API/TOOLING. There were some attempts on providing tools for TC (which I really appreciate), however most of them rely on accessing the DB directly OR using external PHP APIs that are not standardized by the project and tend to break easily with time (e.g. when the DB structure changes). Ideally the application server itself should expose the API, or the API project should be part of the official project and be maintained with it; All those reasons, together with the fact that C++ is an old language and there are better modern alternatives make me wonder: why don't we start a new project from scratch, using a modern language? (for example Rust - see this post). So we can use the experience gained during all those years of WoW development to create something that works better, is more developer-friendly and can attract more contributors. I write this post to see if this can be of interest for any of you, please let me know what you think.

be sure your boost version matches your visual studio version.

we recommend to avoid centos to run trinitycore, because they give a lot of issues.

Use https://github.com/Arctium/WoW-Launcher/releases to start wow

Thats normal, just ignore them

you cannot, the more critical files you change the more files compiles.

UPDATE `creature` SET `spawndist` = 7, `MovementType` = 1 WHERE `id` = XXX;

Try clearing your cache. I also experienced same stuff. Somehow after trying lots of trial it worked somehow.

I checked and the core is master = 9.0.2.37474 and WoW version is now at 9.0.5.37988. Which means that the core and the version is not on the same level. Not sure if I am correct in this, but I am also having this same issue.

Hey folks, I'm currently building a BfA repack, following Windows Server Setup, and at the bottom of this page it says "4. Move the vmaps, maps, dbc, cameras and gt (master only) folders to the same directory as the TrinityCore binaries." Which TrinityCore binaries is it referring to? Sorry for sounding like a div, Isk.

update your core, i fixed that.

It sounds like you connect both worldservers into the same character database, you need to separate them and share only auth (and world if you dont want to customize anything for only one realm)

I recently started working on my project again. Unfortunately I had to find out that not a single sniffer is working properly anymore and that the development of open source sniffers has been stopped (people say). Is there a working sniffer somewhere or an alternative that I can use? Best Regards.

Fixed

I figured it out. I still had 127.0.0.1 set in a couple of places. I had to change the IP address in the following locations: Database: auth.realmlist.address and auth.realmlist.localaddress to 10.x.y.z bnetserver.conf: LoginREST.ExternalAddress=10.x.y.z LoginREST.LocalAddress=10.x.y.z Client: World of Warcraft\ _retail_\WTF\Config.wtf SET portal "10.x.y.z"

Hi everyone, My 8.0.1.28153 client does not have the `.build.info` file in the root directory of the client install. I think that this causes my `mapextractor` (latest commit as of yesterday) to fail as it cannot find any locales. I've searched everywhere and my google-fu failed me. I cannot find this file anywhere. From my understanding, this file is one of the required files to be able to open the casc storage via the Zezula's casc library. Can I somehow generate this file? Thank you.

TDB 335.19031 released new naming standard: 19 year 03 month 1 1st release of month.

@Verytas Starting over with the source code that matches your client version (7.x) should fix the most imminent issues you have. (follow what I said before) TrinityCore seems to be in the middle of transitioning to 8.x. Guides have not been updated yet and without external tools you cannot use 8.x client yet with TC, so I would not personally recommend trying to use the latest master branch or 8.x clients yet.

you don't must follow near 1 year old screenshot as guide for what revision suports trinitycore.

nothing like someone complaining about people not doing enough while refusing to do anything themselves

You installed core for The Lich king expansion but put database for LEGION!

Hey Undyne, I know this answer comes late but propably it may help you a bit. At first I wanna make clear, that I'm not a professional on this topic. I know something but not as much as e.g. Shauren. Yes you're right. There was no leak. The software has been written from scratch. The game itself is delivered as common executable binary file and many assets such as 3d models, maps and their terrain information, a client database, images/videos and the ui (the ui components are delivered as addon such as the third party addons). The most important part of the client data are: Maps Client Database I don't know much about the map files and can't tell you something about their structure but their are used to create server side map information for collision calculation and path finding of npcs. The client database contains static information about some ingame content. In 3.3.5 the client database tables are stored in DB2 and DBC files. The files contain information about spells, skills, races, basic item stuff and much more things. Other data for example quests, loot, ingame objects like creatures or gameobjects and their spawn positions are not available in dbc files. Last year I've written a small php library for DB2 file reading. Maybe this is interessting for you https://github.com/Caydan/php7-db2 Client and server communicates via a tcp connection. The traffic of this connection can be catched and evaluated. Each message has an own id in its header. TrinityCore call these ids opcodes. They are used to identify a message which allows us to read the message into the right structure. A list of all patch 3.3.5 opcodes can be found here https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/blob/3.3.5/src/server/game/Server/Protocol/Opcodes.h The CMSG prefix means client to server message. SMSG means server to client message. Here an example for you: A player walks through the world and meets a quest giver. The client doesn't know anything (title, description, rewards etc) about this quest but its ID (let it be the ID 120). The client sends now a message CMSG_QUEST_QUERY which contains the ID 120 to the server. The server answers to this request with SMSG_QUEST_QUERY_RESPONSE which contains all information the client needs to display the quest. It is possible to catch the traffic between client and server on retail realms and use the messages to populate the server side database. TrinityCore uses https://github.com/TrinityCore/WowPacketParser to parse the raw data into text files which are readable to humans or in some cases directly into SQL. The opcodes are changing very often when the client gets updated. Also there are information inside the messages which have to be interpreted. Blizzard likes it to use flags e.g. the npc flags. The npc flags can be used to tell a creature to be a vendor, questgiver, inkeeper, banker etc. Blizzard stores this information as 32 bit integer. All these opcodes, the meanings of every bit of a bitmask or different enums are not provided by Blizzard. All these information has to be gathered by reverse engineering the Wow.exe. This can be done by loading the executable into a disassembler like IDA. It will translate the machine code into assembly. Now you have to research millions of lines of assembly code and try to understand what it does, how the client interpretes different messages etc. This kind of research is very fascinating but can also be very frustrating. Hopefully I was able to help you a bit. Cheers

No, I wanted to say that maybe different people do the same thing at the same time and nobody knows it.

you can copy wow client to your linux box.

told you it was incomplete client.

it compiles or it doesn't compile, there is no intermediate step.

then you may have incomplete client.

Enjoy u new UI

Yep, I remember this tool. When it was built for mangos, I ended up working on the development this, and if memory serves me ended up taking over for the original developer. Once TrinityCore came out I ended up building a new system I called trinitymanager and stopped working on minimanager. Bruno I think was the guys name.

I am new here but have been working with game Emulators for a while. Been a number of years since I have messed around with the WoW emulators but have been working with EQ emulators for a while. Trinitycore is a LOT easier to install / compile compared to the EQ versions. Still with that being said I found the step-by-step instructions in the Wiki to be sadly lacking a LOT of crucial information. When I was stuck I tried searching and that did little but take me right back to the spot with missing information. Whomever maintains the Wiki has the unfortunate tendency to assume installers know some information and simply skip it which will tend to confuse and frustrate people (this problem is VERY common among many people unfortunately.) Many of the people that try to help or instruct others tend to make that same mistake, assuming the people being instructed know certain information. To truly setup step-by-step instructions you must assume the people know absolutely nothing about the setup. That is the only true way to reduce the posts here asking for help. For instance on the Wiki under the Server Setup it mostly takes you through a setup until it reaches this point: ---------------------------------------------- https://trinitycore.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/tc/pages/2130046/Server+Setup After completing all the steps listed above you can now start your server. Run the authserver (bnetserver on master) and worldserver to run your server. Both must stay running for your server to accept connections to it. Tip: The authserver (bnetserver on master) allows you to enter your username (email on master)/password to connect to the Realm Selection screen, and the worldserver allows you to connect to the realm itself. Once you are in-game, the authserver (bnetserver on master) can be safely closed if you wish. DO !NEVER! create an account directly into your database unless you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that you know what and how to do! The "3" is the GM account level (higher numbers = more access), and the "-1" is the realm ID that stands for "all realms". ------------------------------------------------ Then after that it tells you to startup the worldserver and login using the account you just created?!?! Nowhere in there does it tell you HOW to create the account nor does it tell you how to set the GM access level other than the last line telling you that "3" is GM level... I had to experiment for 10 minutes to figure it out on my own but I was only able to do it because I was used to working in a similar environment with the EQ emulators... But looking back on it there is a very confusing and veiled comment to how the authserver allows you to create the account but it never says "Type this into the authserver command window to create your account" which would prevent a lot of confusion and questions being asked (especially since it should be typed into the worldserver window instead)... Then after telling you to start the worldserver and to create the account it tells you somewhat how to install the databases... Shouldn't the database install come BEFORE telling people how to create an account in the database?? All-in-all, other than downloading and compiling the core, the wiki and FAQ are mostly useless for new people for help... So far I have searched everywhere and I can't find the answer to one simple question that should be in a FAQ or guide somewhere, how to run server / GM commands in-game??? I am sure there is a way but have yet to discover it... IMHO to reduce the number of help posts and duplicates you really need to overhaul many of the newbie FAQ's and Wiki help / install sections with a good sense of how a person that has never worked with an emulator install before should proceed...

It's been almost 10 years that I'm into WoW Emulation, I can still remember the first times when I was 15 playing with the old MaNGOS. At that time I knew almost nothing about the world of programming. Now I'm 24, I work as software engineer and I'm proud of the many things that I learned thanks to the WoW emulation, that helped me a lot. A while ago I decided to make my Computer Science Master's Degree thesis about "Open Source Server Applications for MMORPG" which is about MaNGOS and TrinityCore, and the PvP statistics system that I've created for those applications. The degree was a big success and I scored the maximum grade! That is me (on the left) the day of the degree, during the speech about the thesis: I'm glad to be part of this community built by passionate people willing to share their skills with others, I always appreciated the spirit of the open source behind the WoW emulation projects and I'm writing this just to thank you all guys, for having created this awesome atmosphere during all these years!

can any one help me with this I'm getting ild/src/server/authserver/Release/authserver clang: error: no such file or directory: '/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.dylib' ** BUILD FAILED ** The following build commands failed: Ld build/src/server/authserver/Release/authserver normal x86_64 (1 failure)

Don't look now: (Rules Quote) My nick has nothing to do with a private server or otherwise. I didn't break ANY rules. Now, please stop trolling. I am done with this thread because I can see where you're trying to lead it. I feel no need to further school a 38 year old on whether or not an emulated game server is known or unknown to Blizzard and the legalities of running a server privately OR publicly. So edit this post away or try to reverse the fact that you jumped to a conclusion; just as you did the post before this one. Please, cry to someone else about the rules when they actually break them instead of hounding people asking normal questions. I think you get off on being rude to others here (most of them younger than you) as some sort of ego trip? Power issues? Wanna be a moderator or something? I dunno, but you need to get more attention at home or something (seriously)... I read a lot of your rudeness to others on this forum, and for no reason! Just people a little confused or asking for help is usually followed up by complete rudeness in most of your responses. Please, don't bother responding, banning, suspending, or whatever else your going to do to my account. People (members) don't want this type of interaction when trying to learn something new; and for an "educational" piece of software I find that contradictory to its main goal or purpose. So let's get this straight, you wont miss me and I wont miss you any; pretty much a clean wash. I just maybe wanted someone to go review your performance (Paranoia or Para-whatever). And hey, if your grandfathered in here and "buddies" with the rest of the crew they should weigh that one out too. I understand the "good Ol' Boy" system. Protect your friends, no matter how wrong they are. So, I know telling you all this is a losing battle forum wise. Your nick certainly fits you: A paradox is a logical statement or group of statements that lead to a contradiction or a situation which (if true) defies logic or reason, similar to circular reasoning. Typically, however, quoted paradoxical statements do not imply a real contradiction and the puzzling results can be rectified by demonstrating that one or more of the premises themselves are not really true, a play on words, faulty and/or cannot all be true together. To the Trinity Programmers and Moderators, Thanks, it's been a fun ride and I'll still be downloading source. Thank you for your time and experience.
