How to correct the wrong escort-quest in redridge (mangoszero)

[Guest]

Corporal Keeshan has to run at a certain point. Lets say waypoint 40. Just write a new case in the source code

case 40 (40 is the waypoint):

Let him say what he said in the original version (its something like: To be close to my home gives me new strength I can run now again.) I only played the german version and I dont know exactly what he said but in German it was something like that. How this works with the saying you can see in the sourcecode because at other waypoints it was already done. Now let him run:

SetRun(true);

Thats it. One silly mistake corrected.

Thanks for your contribution Hochdeutscher!

Would you be willing to put a fix into the MangosZero database for this?

No because you have to change the source code - not the database. This quest is scripted in the sourcecode I guess with sd3sript or whatever the name is. The script is called like the Colonel so you can easily find it.

The quest "The Attack" is also scripted in the source code. But obviously the server does not take this script but something else. I have no idea what and where it is. But it is not in the sourcecode thats for sure. But may be you could ask your gurus what they actually did. If I get a source code and I cant change everything its a fraud. And if I get a database and for many stuff they just dont use the content of the database its also meaningless. I am - as I said - a gamer. I am interested in playing the game. And I want it a way I have fun. To reach this goal I must adapt a lot what you obviously did wrong. Another thing is the laterns. I cant remember that lanterns were in vanilla in stormwind. This is something from WotLK or Cataclysm. Why is this in the game when I use the vanilla-client? How is this possible?

Do you have access to my computer or how is this possible?

Although when I think about it I also changed something in the database. I added a Text but only in German for what the Colonel has to say at waypoint 40. As I said I have no idea what he said in the english version.

Just so you know, everything can be edited. This is a fully open source project. I'm not sure why you continue to refer to it being closed, hidden, etc. 

There are two methods for scripting within MaNGOS. 

1) Database/SQL scripting that used the dbscripts table.

2) SD3 scripting that uses C++ in the server. 

The ScriptDev3 code is in its own repository on GitHub, and is linked to the server code.

Hopefully that helps you understand the structure of the server and that is not a hidden/locked down library somewhere.
