Trigger fishing event on low pop server

I have a 3.3.5 TC server with a population of <50 (accounts not characters). At any given time there are usually 10-15 people logged in but there have been stretches where no one logs in for a few hours. Yesterday with around 10 people logged on, someone decided to head to Booty Bay to take part in the fishing event. They logged off in Booty Bay around 12p server time and relogged around 115p server time immediately going AFK. I am not sure exactly what time they were disconnected but it was before 150p. At 150p they relogged and stayed in Booty Bay checking mail, banking, etc., waiting for the anticipated 2p start of the fishing event. 2p came and went and no fishing event. They told me that this is the second time they've tried and the event hasn't started. The first time they did not arrive in Booty Bay until 205p and they believe they were the only person in the zone. Yesterday they were there before 2p but again likely the only person in the zone.

I'm not sure why the event isn't starting for them. I have never tried to complete the fishing event and honestly don't even know if it is scripted. I have seen NPCs in capitols 'advertising' it before. I have noticed that the PVP event in Stranglethorn (Gurubashi Arena) doesn't trigger unless someone is in the zone a few minutes before the start of the event (every three hours). I presumed it was the same with fishing which is why I advised logging in and being in the zone prior to the scheduled start.

My questions are:

Is the event scripted/working in 3.3.5?

Is there a way to get the event (and the pvp event for that matter) to start at the scheduled time without anyone in the zone? The server is compiled Static which I thought would help with that type of scenario.

Can/How do you manually trigger the fishing event?

 

TIA for any help with this.

Feeling that this is going to be a problem again today, I was just wondering if anyone had any answers.

If I'm not wrong you can modify the time in the db. There are a little tables for the events there but I'm not sure about these specific event.

From my world db game_event table:

  eventEntry start_time end_time occurence length holiday holidayStage description world_event announce
  14 2016-10-28 19:00:00 2020-12-31 00:00:00 10080 1440 0 0 Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza Announce 0 2
  15 2016-10-30 10:00:00 2020-12-31 00:00:00 10080 120 301 0 Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza Fishing Pools 0 2
  62 2016-10-30 10:00:00 2020-12-31 00:00:00 10080 180 376 1 Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza Turn-ins 0 2

 

So question 1 and 3 are answered. You can manually trigger the event with an .event start 15, .event start 62 and the NPC shows up in game.

Any ideas on question 2? Why the event doesn't trigger automatically.

      I suppose this is two questions in one.
      I ".reset spells", etc and now when I login to WowTLK 3.3.5A I get "can't speak that language"
      I have a macro that selects a language and then I can talk normally.... or I can just choose a language. What language is my char/client trying to use?
      I cleared my account/cache in my client. Only new chars work.
       
      I then thought, I can't solve this, all I can do is "select" a language every login... I can't even use GM commands until i do.
      So, perhaps make a new char and "copy" the quests over.... I've no idea how I might do this.
       
      Any help?

      Hello folks
      I once updated my Trinity Server (3.3.5a) to the latest version (30.09.2020), unfortunately my Draenei Warlock is now broken.  I once created one in an older version by simply changing the breed in the database. After the update I couldn't select it at first, because the combination is invalid. This message came in the console. 
      I did some research and found out that the playercreateinfo_ tables have to be filled. I did that.
      I can log in now, but it seems that I have no language. The error message "you can not speak this language" appears in the chat. I cannot select a language either. I have already tried many things, including adding the skills, but the error remains. 
      I can't remember that it was so difficult in the past, has anything been changed?

      Hi,
      Following one recent commit officially adding MariaDB 10.4 support, I took this opportunity to update my database server (from MariaDB 10.1 to MariaDB 10.4) and compiled the game server with the corresponding libraries instead of MySQL 5.7.
      Everything went fine and the server runs properly.
      I had one tiny little issue though: I had to fill the MySQLExecutable variable in the conf file otherwise the worldserver executable wouldn't launch:
      Didn't find any executable MySQL binary at '/Server/Release/bin/Release' or in path, correct the path in the *.conf ("MySQLExecutable").
      I never had to fill this variable before and it was still working fine with this commit: https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/commit/48c700347c91b1748427a8c5b09b8d4099c9a105
      I'm running with this commit at the moment: https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/commit/43d9ffd1bc127768882711a47d5e2bae92845d04
      It's not that big of deal obviously, but the worldserver conf file states for this variable:
      If the path is left empty, built-in path from cmake is used.
      Alas, while being properly set in CMake, the path isn't used anymore.
      Is this the new expected behavior or is this a bug?

      Hello guys,
      I was wondering that would be nice if i can active the flying mounts in Azeroth allowing the players to use it in Orgrimmar for example.
      So, here's my question: is there any way to do that in the server core side? I know that the game doesnt support flying mounts in Azeroth in the retail but i would like to do it (if its possible).
      I've serched in the forum for it and didn't find anything about it.
      Thanks for the help!

      Placed several items in the AH today with the 24 hour setting to check with, restarted both world and auth servers, and the items placed in AH were no longer there, nor was there any mail for items sold or returned.
