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). (Visual Studio 2019 release date is on 2nd quarter 2019) https://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx17

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

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.

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.

when ready.

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.

Our dependency versions are set to whatever ships in current stable debian release, not centos

EDIT: There i fixed it for the Developer, somehow i was advertising.. I notice why though, because it included my servers name. My bad... Hey guys i recently migrated a new dedicated server from a VPS so i can continue working on something and i have ran into a snag... The server is running fine, it loads up super fast, but whenever someone tries to login it gets stuck at "Connected" after you select the realm, what could possibly cause this issue? Configs: Authconfig http://pastebin.com/aiBE2jvC <- World Config, too big to put on AC-Web An image to represent the issue :/ Hope some of you can help. Thanks! Will reward +rep to anyone who posts some useful information.

Thats normal, just ignore them

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

the amount of recompilation depends of the files you change.

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

it's client limitation, you must usue the arrows on the top left side.

Hello and welcome Acciderk, i can only suggest you to read over the Loot Article in the wiki, since what you are missing here is a loop through the loot reference table. The Lich King (c.e. 39168) has 5 directly attached items in his default loot template, one if them requires to be on a quest. Every other loot comes from loot references (also part of said template). I attached a picture to make this more visible/clear:

There are a lot of things that could have been written better or different, but without trying to compile this myself, there is something that really bothers me and i would say this could potentially result in your crash: You spamforce the boss an attackorder here on every update diff. The more i think about this, the more i wonder where he even gets "target" from in this case? That should not even compile. In general, there is a pretty basic and simple pattern you can follow in UpdateAI: void UpdateAI(uint32 diff) override { if (!UpdateVictim()) return; events.Update(diff); if (me->HasUnitState(UNIT_STATE_CASTING)) return; while (uint32 eventId = events.ExecuteEvent()) { switch (eventId) { case EVENT_NAME: stuff that should happen; break; default: break; } if (me->HasUnitState(UNIT_STATE_CASTING)) return; } DoMeleeAttackIfReady(); }

Quests cannot do that. It is world.gossip_menu_option BoxCoded column (and you have to write a script that implements this function https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/blob/3.3.5/src/server/game/AI/CreatureAI.h#L207)

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.

bnetserver, just like authserver in the past, doesn't accept console input.

spell.dbc. spellworks shows you the info inside them. or https://tcubuntu.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/aowow/

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.

/bin /data <-- here (need to edit path in *.conf files which in /etc) or another variant

You don't need the client at all after extraction (but you will need it again if there are fixes/changes done to extractors, to extract again), you can also delete Buildings

I do not know, with arctiumlauncher works perfectly for me. Have you tried modifying the ip address in the file "WTF/Config .wtf" 127.0.0.1? What is your SO? Some ppl with Linux have the same problem.

known bug it needs to be fixed. you did nothing incorrect on your side.

@Verytas Seems you are trying to use latest master branch with 7.x client. However master = 8.0.1.28153. For 7.3.5 you probably want to go back to the commit that supported that version. For example: git checkout -b 7.3.5 7.3.5/26972 See https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/tags and https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging

First off are you just exiting the window when the server is on or are you actually using the command on the server to shut down or restart the server for both realm and world? Also can you post your config files link them so I can see what your settings are if you can please thanks.

Just downloaded the classic demo client for the blizzcon. What are your thoughts? Will I see some of you on demo servers?

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!

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

Haha, I'm wondering how much people on german p-server translate quest_complete_texts parallel and manually :-) But the quest_template_locale table contains a lot of field names from an earlier core version. Actually the relations are: quest_template:LogDescription - quest_template_locale:Objectives quest_template:AreaDescription - quest_template_locale:EndText quest_template:QuestDescription - quest_template_locale:Details quest_template:ObjectiveText1 - quest_template_locale:ObjectiveText1 quest_template:ObjectiveText2 - quest_template_locale:ObjectiveText2 quest_template:ObjectiveText3 - quest_template_locale:ObjectiveText3 quest_template:ObjectiveText4 - quest_template_locale:ObjectiveText4 quest_template:QuestCompletionLog - quest_template_locale:CompletedText quest_requested_items:CompletionText - quest_template_locale:RequestedItemsText quest_offer_reward:RewardText - quest_template_locale:OfferRewardText May it helps, otherwise please make an example of a quest.

As outlined in #20103, we're currently making a concerted push for blizzlike instance spawn behavior. As part of this, every instance in the 3.3.5 client needs to have all of its spawns mapped to the corresponding instance boss that causes that group to no longer spawn once defeated. Luckily, we have a tool to help with this. Extract the attached archive into your Interface/AddOns directory, then log onto a 3.3.5 core running commit fcd6fe0 (or newer). Move yourself into the instance you want to map, then invoke /spawngroup to bring up the mapper panel. Use the green plus icon to create one spawn group for each boss in the instance. If there are groups with complex conditions, like "only spawns if any of X, Y and Z are alive", create a separate group for each of them. Scroll down (shift+mouse wheel to scroll faster) and name each of the newly created groups (right-click the respective header). Names should be representative, but have only descriptive value (no need to match the boss name exactly, for example). Start assigning groups to entries and spawns in the "Unassigned" category. Pay attention to detail - not all creatures of the same entry are necessarily assigned to a specific boss. Click on an entry to expand it into a list of its spawn points. Each spawn point can be individually assigned to a group. Click on a spawn point to teleport to it. You can combine this with having the world map open to quickly map disjoint spawn points. Once you are done, click on "Export SQL" to generate a complete instance spawn group script for the instance, then post it here. Because mistakes happen, I'd like at least two, preferably three, copies of each data set, from different people. To find out which instances still need data, take a look at this issue on the tracker - contributions may be posted either there or in this thread. (PS: Feel free to take breaks. The mapper stores any mappings you've already made and will reload them when you bring the panel up again, including across sessions [assuming you log out normally - don't force kill the client.]) (PPS: Invoke /spawngroup while outside an instance at your own peril - it's probably gonna freeze your client for a bit. Lots of spawns there.)

Hey all, I wanted to write down a guide about preparing your linux server to be able to work as a gdb log tracer + restarter I have been using it for around 2 years with no problem what-so-ever (other than the performance if having a compiled server with full debug flags on) What is GDB? GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on `inside' another program while it executes -- or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed. What is Restater? Restarter allows your core to crash, fall, get stuck and come back every time without anyone touching or doing anything manualy. For this guide you acknowledge that you have basic knowledge in operating linux systems and using ssh as a cli 1. First, lets make sure your Freeze Detector is set up corretly by editing the worldserver.conf file in `etc` Find MaxCoreStuckTime and set it to 120 ( MaxCoreStuckTime = 120 ) This will tell the server that if this demon is stuck for 2 minutes the core will crash automaticly leaving the restarter at work.. 2. Make sure you have sendmail installed sendmail is a cli program that allows sending emails without any pre-setup etc Try: /usr/sbin/sendmail -f [email protected] [email protected] or sendmail -f [email protected] [email protected] If you get an email from [email protected] this means it works, if you dont -> Follow the sendmail installation guide which i found very helpful 3. Go to your `bin` folder (where the worldserver bins are installed at) create a new file - for the perpuse of the test call it `commands` (nano commands) put the following code in the file: run -c ../etc/worldserver.conf bt bt full info thread thread apply all backtrace full quit Make sure that if you are using another path or other server config name, you have to alter it in the file. The rest, leave as is, its for the backtrace report to work. 4. Create crashes folder under bin mkdir Crashes the C is capsulated 5. creatre a new file, this file will be used as our restarter, mine is called gdbres.sh (nano gdbres.sh) In the file, put the following code: while : do gdb -x=commands -batch ./worldserver > temp tail -c 60000 temp | sed 1i"Subject: Crash Log" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -f [email protected] [email protected] tail -c 60000 temp | sed 1i"Subject: Crash Log" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -f [email protected] [email protected] mv temp Crashes/log$(date +\%Y-\%m-\%d-\%H-\%M-\%S).log done tail takes the last part of your `temp` file and sends it via mail, the -c 60000 chooses to take 60kb worth of text (which is the aprox gdb crash log filesize) and just send it trough sed li = the subject of that email the last command mv temp /Crashes/blabla moves the temp file to your crash log folder, if you dont have a crash folder it wont move the file and you wont have any log keepting so make sure you created the folder.. 6. Alter the files to be able to execute: chmod +x commands chmod +x gdbres.sh 7. Starting the restarter is an easy job, personaly i use screen if you are using screen do the following: screen -A -dmS world ./gdbres.sh This will start it in a new demon screen and you can forget about starting the core on your own for a while if you are using simple cli commands you can use ./gdbres.sh && to make it start and forget about it Notes: Turning the restarter off gave me lots of problems when i wanted to close it, I started using webmin to be able to close it via their "Running programs" Positive: To update core to tip etc, you can make install then just crash it. you dont have to fully shutdown the core only ctrl+c in the screen folder or shut it down via ingame and it will come back online using the restarter Sometimes the gdb log comes back bigger than 60k, you can always go back to the Crashes folder and take the full crash.. Its usualy not bigger trough To be able to debug your core with full debug flags you will have to use -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug to include additional debug-code in core in the cmake proccess as stated in the linux compile guide

TC's mysql requierement is 5.1 or higher. updating to 5.6 won't fix nothing. The problem indeed, lies here. He needs mysql client and server to be the same.

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)

Actually no, the example you used has 4 npc's running behind eachother. You need to find the first npc for the correct path, it will have a lot less points. The 3 other npc's will use more points because they run in formation thus having more points then needed

Its solved! Thanks a milion CDawg. The databse quarry was the one that solved it. Now everything is working, and i can connect from outside my lan. Again, thank you very much.

This isn't a realm ID issue or the player wouldn't even be able to connect at all. Is your friend using a hacked version of the client? Did they modify any of their MPQ files? If this happens only when a loading screen appears, it seems to me that something is broken on the client side. I remember when I was mucking around with trying to change the Draeni models into Night Elf models by editing the DBC files, I caused similar "malformed packet" issues when trying to /sit or /dance which not only disconnected me but crashed my client too.
