I posted this months ago.. See http://getmangos.eu/community/showthread.php?13344-dev-Reload-item_template-amp-creature_template Also no reason to reload every field like in your patch.. Much more stress on an active database. A simple sObjectMgr.LoadCreatureTemplates(); Does the same thing and I would think a lot faster too.

and what is with this?

Reload item_template & creature_template

[darkstalker]

instead of reloading whole table, why not reload single entries? would be really useful for debugging to reload a single creature, quest, gameobject template

What's the point of finding and enumerating specific template IDs when reloading a table should only take a few seconds?

[Schmoozerd]

because everyone who needs this function will have the entries by hand, and it is most likely easier to get stable

Not if you use SELECT * FROM xxx WHERE types of updates and not if you want to reload a number of separate entry updates in one go. As for stability, if the function is properly implemented, it shouldn't matter whether you reload one creature or all of them. Not to mention that all other .reload commands reload entire tables...

[VladimirMangos]

And what you will do with creature that has been spawned but after reload lost templates? What you will do with AI activated in instances if creature expect current scpripts, and etc.

This is very unsafe operation. But pointed targeted creature reload maybe more safe if connected with kill/respawn creature.

[Thyros]

Vladimir, has you look in the patch? the patch is not from me, i have get from trinity.

[VladimirMangos]

Not look and not plan look. I say _many_ times why this problematic and unsafe.

cause to fix some template you need to find the IDs and modify entries? i don't know how you alter stuff without knowing the entry id..

anyway why finding template IDs when you can use ingame links or player selected target

[Diablox]

Even reloading a single NPC in some cases can lead to same problems. For example if NPC is spawned on many places and some players interact with them while you reload that single NPC.

[VladimirMangos]

Also some npc not used directly in world but used as templates for taxi/transform spells.

[Thyros]

this is only reload a npc entry, and i have converted the code to mangos finnaly.
