[dev]Reload item_template & creature_template

[Stab]

I know a lot of asked for reloading of items and creatures. On my realm, I'm building a custom zone with lots of new custom items. To save restarts, I decided to code it in and since I've seen it requested several times, thought I'd share. Sorry for no real patch, but my core has many changes and is 3.3.3, so it wouldn't match default GIT, so you'll have to commit it in manually.

Chat.cpp

       { "spell_threats",               SEC_ADMINISTRATOR, true,  &ChatHandler::HandleReloadSpellThreatsCommand,            "", NULL },

+     { "item_template",         SEC_ADMINISTRATOR, true,  &ChatHandler::HandleReloadItemPrototypesCommand,          "", NULL },
+     { "creature_template",           SEC_ADMINISTRATOR, true,  &ChatHandler::HandleReloadCreatureTemplatesCommand,       "", NULL },

Chat.h

       bool HandleReloadSpellPetAurasCommand(const char* args);
+     bool HandleReloadItemPrototypesCommand(const char* args);
+     bool HandleReloadCreatureTemplatesCommand(const char* args);

Level3.cpp

   HandleReloadLocalesQuestCommand("a");
   return true;
}

+ bool ChatHandler::HandleReloadItemPrototypesCommand(const char * /*args*/)
+ {
+   sLog.outString( "Loading Item Data... (`item_template`)" );
+    sObjectMgr.LoadItemPrototypes();
+    SendGlobalSysMessage("DB table `item_template` reloaded.");
+  return true;
+  }
+  bool ChatHandler::HandleReloadCreatureTemplatesCommand(const char * /*args*/)
+ {
+  sLog.outString( "Loading Creature Data... (`creature_template`)" );
+    sObjectMgr.LoadCreatureTemplates();
+    SendGlobalSysMessage("DB table `creature_template` (creature data) reloaded.");
+    return true;
+ }

INSERT INTO `command` (`name`, `security`, `help`) VALUES
('reload creature_template', 3, 'Syntax: .reload creature_template'),
('reload item_template', 3, 'Syntax: .reload item_template');

If you can live with related crashes after ti use in some case...

[shauren]

i guess in his case it doesnt matter if it crashes or he has to restart it

Yeap, that's why I marked it as "dev" due to the chance of crashes. On that note though, of all my reloads so far, I have yet to crash. It's a realm I'm only on building the area, so a crash wouldn't be a big deal. Just a time saver really rather then having to keep logging back in. Since I know many have asked for commands like this, I just figured I'd share =)

also I think you're "missing" a part in Level3.cpp

HandleReloadReservedNameCommand("");
HandleReloadMangosStringCommand("");
HandleReloadGameTeleCommand("");
+HandleReloadCreatureTemplatesCommand("");
+HandleReloadItemPrototypesCommand("");
    return true;
{

HandleReloadReservedNameCommand("");
HandleReloadMangosStringCommand("");
HandleReloadGameTeleCommand("");
+HandleReloadCreatureTemplatesCommand("");
+HandleReloadItemPrototypesCommand("");
    return true;
{

oh, I think I did, but it still works fine on my server without. So I guess not really needed

[shauren]

i believe its still called "objmgr" in that revision adio
