@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.

@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

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.

To print information about closest gameobject you can use .gobject target The information should contain the gameobject's guid. Then you can delete the object by its guid with .gobject delete <guid>

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. == 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: around 3:30 AM CEST 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 Jessie 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 Jessie stable (with updates). It is in your best interest to read the entire instruction first before installing! Install a server with Debian Jessie 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/ custom 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 master: apt-get install trinitycore-server-master 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 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! == 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 trinitycore-database3.3.5 -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?

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.
