[SOLVED]Change .Conf location

[Kruel]

Hello i been trying to figure out how to change all my .dist and .conf file locations to lets say /server/conf how would one do this?

[oXL0C0Xo]

first off, are you on windows or linux?

on linux, i think you define 

-DCONF_DIR=/home/trinitycore/conf

to whatever directory you want them to be built in. ref: https://trinitycore.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/tc/pages/10977309/Linux+Core+Installation

pretty sure in windows, you just change the location of the same cmake flag

 

[Kruel]

Windows and will try it now thanks. 

 

[Kruel]

Ok in cmake i have Install_PREFIX don't see a CONF_DIR or anything of the sort.

what happens if you check the advanced checkbox? Sorry, I dont have a windows box

[Kruel]

Yeah don't seem to be in there also possibly needs to be configured in the source with windows? Unsure where it would be in there not much of a coder but can edit 

[Aokromes]

you can use cmake on command line on windows to use the change etc path.

And how would i be able to do this? only know the basics of cmake for compiling

Presumably, it works a lot like the linux version of the install. However, for more general information on using cmake in windows, you might look at this tutorial, which was the clearest answer I could find. (I haven't used windows in over a decade, so it seems very confusing to me.)

Yeah still confused my self on how i would change the directories for config / data files

Look at oXL0C0Xo's post above. That flag changes the config directory. You'll also see it in the drop-down under the linux core installation. The cmake command ought to be roughly the same, so something like

cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=[install dir] -DCONF_DIR=[config dir] -DTOOLS=1

should get you a visual studio solution file which you use to compile (according to the tutorial). I

[Kruel]

I have added those strings and fully compiled but World server and Auth Server are still unable to read config files from folder of choice.

Says Error: invalid or missing default configuration file 

 

cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\trinitycore -DCONF_DIR=/conf -DLIBSDIR=/lib -DMYSQL_LIBRARY=C:/MySQL/lib_64/libmysql.lib -DSERVERS=1

Is the line i came up and it fully compiles world and auth files.

Had some help tracking it down. It's under MAIN.CPP files for both world and realm

Before Main.CPP

 

After MAIN.CPP

Removed the cfg_def_file due to it was not finding the normal conf paths.

has workaround you can use worldserver -c pathtoconfig.

[Kruel]

Yep that would more than likely be easier the method i found seems to be working well tho with no issues other than having to add it every time compiling is done.
