...and for sure someone who can't compile C++ and cannot understand SQL properly can point out that if you do that action in that place in that circumstance can cause a crash, that maybe is caused by a simple mistake made by someone who can compile C++ and understand SQL, but didn't check is job carefully. I still think that if someone wants to play wow, would just register at one of those free private servers online and not spend time on making his private server and play with, let's say 4? 5? friends and meet the chance to get struck in a not working quest or bad/not scripted area.

not to make things bigger, but to take side of newbies and MrSmite actually the guide says: ...look at the top of that list, you should see something like "Sync with TrinityCore/TrinityCore@14d80d2". Does the string after the "@" symbol match your server version? If yes, GREAT! If no, see Revision Matching below. "something like" doesn't mean "stay on" and in that page you can find "sync with TrinityCore/ff3524f" people who could help the project can be also people who just test their own server and find errors like what beta testers do. if they wanted to make a server just to play, why not just join one of those free working servers that can be found online? just my two cents

I always used vs10 because using wxp pro and vs2013 needs w7 or w8. today I tried on another pc with w7 and everything went fine. what is fun is that I cannot compile trinitycore 3.3.5a under w7 (for some unknown reasons), and cannot compile trinitycore 4.3.4 under wxp! anyway, now I have TWO compiled 4.3.4 versions. the one under wxp "works": I can connect, create a character but cannot interact with anyone (I think old commit) the one under w7 does not even starts! I get the error DatabasePool world4 NOT opened. There were errors opening the MySQL connections. Check your SQLDriverLogFile for specific errors. Cannot connect to world database 127.0.0.1;3306;root;password;world4 the sqldriver logfile is empty the DBerrors file says In mysql_stmt_prepare() id: 53, sql: "SELECT name, permission, help FROM command" Unknown column 'permission' in 'field list' I will give up soon! and stay on 3.3.5a

ok! finally everything worked fine! all maps. vmaps and mmaps have been successfully extracted! now I'm struck on setting up the server! I cloned everything, but visual10 has some troubles at compiling all the stuff. once I got some files another one something else. the main problem is I cannot get the worldserver.exe compiled, due to some errors on the QuestDef.h file... at last I decided to try a two weeks ago cloned stuff and it worked, but the server still doesn't start. I think I didn't get the "revision matching" part, but I'll sort it out... as said before, next week I'll try again all the update process! even if sharing on a private LAN, it could be used in a wrong way by some people, but it would be good for good people! I downloaded a couple of 4.3.4 full torrents, one 4.0.6 torrent and a 3.3.5a torrent, and I've not been able to extract maps from none of the 4.3.4, and could not update the 3.3.5a. both 4.3.4 started, but since I have not a working server yet I could not test them, the 3.3.5a worked fine on a 2 weeks old trinity server.

well.. now mapextractor started to work ! vmap4extractor is working as well... vmap4assembler is working and processing maps files... when finished, I'll run mmaps and then try to launch the server. woah!!! it hasn't been difficult... just tiring!!! next days will try to update again the client on another machine, so maybe things will go smoother and in case, will be able to help someone not so lucky! Paradox: my "wow-dream" would be a fully updated client through blizzard server and a trinitycore server at 4.3.4 (or whatever) release... am I asking too much? LOL

I live in thailand, and funny thing! if I download using jdownloader, emule or http links, I can sometimes reach 1.3Mb/s, but usually never under 400/500kb/s, but for some strange reason utorrent & co. are very slow! I have never seen anything over 100/150kb/s. those wow clients "run" at no more than 10kb/s! the wow patch of 14.8Gb has been downloaded (the first time) in about 5/6 hours! note: stll have to check the last attempt of wow 4.3.4 update. will update later.

I have no explanation to this... but now wow.exe starts! it took a while to open because it had to perform some optimization tasks (no, not the launcher). after that I noticed it "combined" some files in data and dataengb folders and the world2.mpq file I was missing it "magically" appeared. the reason wow.exe didn't start for quite a few times before realizing it has to merge those files is unclear to me... now I started the background downloader and it still has to download about 14gb (again!) of data, but now it says that the file is 4.3.3.15354 to 4.3.4.15595. from the connection info panel, it seems to me that half or so of data has been already downloaded, so maybe it will just download the remaining and then jump at the end. tomorrow will give more info on this. while waiting I tried to download the monster-wow and the eternal-wow clients... too bad they will be ready in about 7 weeks or so!

ok... did it again for the third time! nothing, nothing, nothing! still the same result: start wow and get the error message: "cannot stream required archive data. please check the network connection" no wowerror.exe started, just a plain window from wow.exe! mapextractor doesn't work: except for the dbc folder, doesn't even create the maps folder. one of the next days will try from another computer under windows xp pro 32bit. all my tests until now have been done on win7 64bit.

run wow after each update for no specific reason, just wanted to check if working or not... taking a NO as a wrong made update. launcher is not allowed to connect to internet at all! once it screwed up everything and since that time it is blocked, so no worry for that! at the first background downloader step, nothing has been found to be downloaded. so I tried now and is downloading 4.1.0.14007 to 4.2.0.14333. after finished, I'll go on with the updates and see if it has some more to download after 4.3.2.15211 update, and then hope to reach the final step. thank you!

too many troubles! started again all the update process! even the three downloaded clients are not good for extracting maps, vmaps & c. EDIT: doing all the update process again! following your guide step by step! after the very first update, WoW, refused to start giving errors... I started again with same result, then bored, I kept going on with the second update and so on... at every update, wow never wanted to start giving errors... arrived at the 4.2.0-14333 version and now wow starts normally! (cannot login to any server though) in the data folder I am still missing the world2.mpq file. I tried background downloader at wow-4.0.6.13596-to-4.0.6.13623 and no updates were available. I tried now and 14.8Gb are available. finish in about 7 hours. what do you think? the updates I have found starting from now, require to copy a bunch of files, including wow.exe wow.tfil/mfil battle.net and some MPQ to be put inside data and data/enGb, but NO win-final files (I already downloaded yours) I'm not sure, should I run the update with those files? I just did the 14333 update by just copying that bunch of files and didn't run any update. wow starts and seems working, but I still have to run the batch updater files pointing at win-final.mpq!!! (the wow.exe is already updated since I copied from the archive, so there should not be any need to run the file... or am I wrong) I wait for a sufggestion before proceeding... too scared!!!

ouch! my folders are not quite the same... have all those files except world2.mpq, but have many more wow-update-base-xxxxx.mpq and wow-update-enGB-xxxxx.mpq !!! I also have alternate.mpq + alternate.mpq.lock files. I tried removing some and copying the world2 I have from a downloaded cata client, but what I get now is a new error message! the error I got before (no world2 file) is just a plain window with written "cannot stream required archive data. please check the network connection". if I copy the world2 file I have from a downloaded cata client, I also get an error from the wowerror.exe: This application has encountered a critical error: --- ERROR #134 (0x85100086) Fatal condition!

Error downloading patch data from server 'http://127.0.0.1' , error code : cannotConnectError Error downloading patch data from server 'http://127.0.0.1' , error code : cannotConnectError --- after removing some x.mpq files (those I have more than you) and copying the world2.mpq file I have, if I start the background downloader, it starts from the beginning, teying to download all the 14.8Gb, but after less than a minute it reaches 12.8Gb and start downloading at normal speed... I'll see in few hours what is going to happen. thank you for your help!

finished downloading those 14.8gb, restarting the background downloader gives no other options. I start the client and get the error message "cannot stream required archive data. please check the network connection". needless to say that the connection is working, I just don't allow the game to connect to the blizz servers by changing the realmlist file avoiding any dangerous update to a 4.3.4+ version. mapextractor doesn't work, except for the dbc folder. what am I missing? thank you for your help!

UPDATE got through the 13329-13596 update. I downloaded your collection of xxx-final.mpq files and updated from the corresponding file. even if it was enUS, I have been able to update by just changing the name to wow-patch.mpq, no need to run the commandline version of blizzard updater. after that I'm slowly going through because of MANY corrupted archives downloaded from internet, and "lucky" me they were the 400mb, 500mb and 800mb ones! had to download from two or even three hosts (!!!) to make them work. until now the only obscure point is the 4.0.3-13287 to 4.0.3-13329, which I don't know how I have been able to do. after I end up to a usable 4.3.4 client, I'll try to repeat the process on another computer and try to figure that out. EDIT: finally reached 4.3.4-15595! now the background downloader is downloading a whopping 14.8gb of files... completing in about 194 hours (!!!) wow 4.2.0a.14480 to 4.2.2.14545. time will tell.

tried last night at 3am! maybe didn't do it right, but I am missing some "xxx-win-final.mpq" files. will try again today. anyway, I downloaded successfully a 4.3.4 client and I'm working on it now. but I MUST make the updates work... now it's a declared war! will give updates... and I hope solutions! thank you EDIT: update tried again with commandline and I still get this error "The file "Localization.xml" could not be loaded." the downloaded 4.3.4 client works, but cannot extract maps & c. maps extractor starts the process but suddenly interrupt with "cannot find" errors vmaps starts and after a while stops and vmaps assembler don't even starts I can guess this client is not a "full" client.

UPDATE don't know how, I have reached 4.0.3-13329. as said, it's late and my brain is not fully working! I think I tried changing the file wow.tfil with another one downloaded from the net (an us one) and trying copying that wow-update-13287.mpq in update + data + root folder and renamed it. tried background updater and BNUpdate.exe too. suddenly blizzard updater worked. now same situation, with the wow-update-13596.mpq file. this time I have also the correct tfil file, but all the previous steps don't work. background downloader starts for a seconds and then it tells me that it is a not an authorized download, blizzard updater says there is no patch file to apply, and BNUpdate gives me a "Localization.xml file cannot be loaded" error. it seems to me that a file named "wow-13329-13596-win-final.mpq" is missing, but searching around I cannot find it. I downloaded several updates, and none of them included it. next update later.

OK! maybe I'm just tired and it's night here (I live in thailand). one of the new downloads worked fine, but now I'm struck at update 4.0.1-13205 to 4.0.3-13287. my archive (zip) contains ONLY wow-update-13287, I copy that file to the root and launch Blizzard Updater... nothing "there is no patch file to apply"... am I missing something? tried to put the file in the data folder as well, but when I get to the next exe update, it says that my wow.exe file is not the right one, but a version older than it should be (obviously...) tried also to rename the file to wow-patch-13287 tried to rename the file to wow-patch.mpq and the blizzard updater gives an error 2 suggesting to reinstall everything (!!!) thank you! and sorry! EDIT: added some informations

thank you for the link, I'm now downloading that too! just finished download from a link and applying the first 5+gb patch for the second time (first time returned a new error on a music file.mpq) in about 4 hours I should have the full 4.3.4 and in 8+ hours should have 2 more 2nd patches to try if the one just downloaded doesn't work, thank you!

unfortunately, on wowwiki, only 4 out of 11 link lead to a downloadable file, and I have tried all of them, including Atomicgamer. I am currently redownloading from Atomicgear and wow-latest, hoping that the first time both resulted in a corrupted file and this time I'll have better luck.

at last I've found a torrent for a 4.3.4 client and I'm in the process of downloading it (takes time) and I hope it will solve some problems. I have followed your instructions, but as said in a previous post at the second update everything is struck. will try again for the x time, but I don't think I'll have a different result. anyway, I'll write updates about the update! thank you.

yes, I read that part in the guide and at first I did followed, but since I have a backup start copy (3.3.5a) I tried all the different options that came to my mind including those stated as "never do". does it mean that now I'm struck with a bunch of downloaded patches that I cannot apply and have to look for a new US client? thank you again for your fast reply!

ok... sorry in advance! read the guide - DONE read the guide again - DONE check all the posts - DONE search - DONE I am trying to update the client from 3.3.5a to 4.3.4 and I'm struck at the second update... my client is an enGB version, but I have already downloaded all the corresponding updates. first update (the 5+gb) is ok, second update (WoW-4.0.0-12911 to 4.0.1-13164-enGB-patch.exe) starts and then gives me the error "the update was cancelled - files appears to be corrupted, download it again" downloaded again from different locations, same error... at the end of the first update, it requires me to optimize the installation, tried with and without (nothing to lose, have a client backup) run background downloader starts at 2.6Gb out of 6.7 downloading client update 16135-5.0.5 to 16309-5.1.0 run WoW.exe gives an error and cannot launch. run launcher (again, nothing to lose) once it started once not... any suggestion? thank you in advance

sort of forced, but also my "fault"! anyway, now that I have much more free time, and some spare pc, I'll may give linux a try!

maybe, but cannot be sure! I have always been an apple user, since the first mac 128k, but moved to win for "some" reasons and never liked the win os, but among them I think (my 2 cents) that xp has been the most "stable", either 32 or 64.

actually, I tried compiling also in 64bit, but CMake refused to even start working, assuming that no 64bit were installed! maybe can be, as said, a conflict between a 64bit OS and a 32bit program. after everything went fine, I copied all the trinity folder to the 64bit OS and run from there, and it was (not so obviously, talking about windows... LOL) working! anyway, I have always thought that xp was an "enough good system" and never wanted to move to win7 or win8, until recently when I had to reformat one pc and went on the win7 road. and what happened now, confirm me that I was somehow right.

I gave up with win7 64bit for the moment. in wxp 32bit everything worked fine compiling with VS2010 as I used to do in the past. maybe this time something went wrong with the installation of some program, but after uninstall and install them back everything went fine. I noticed also that .NET 3.5 was not installed. after cleaning win7 and reinstalling everything, errors are the same, so at the moment I'm not going to investigate the reasons... windows is still windows! thank you to everyone! problem partially solved!
