Having some issues....

[IAmHavok]

Okay... after searching around on the forums and feeling like a chicken with its head cut off, I was wondering if I could get help with a few things. I don't want to be "babied" through it, but I thought I'd bring up a few problems that I've been running into, and see if there are fixes I looked over.

1) Eye of Acherus is unworking. One fix I saw is to simply make it a quest you can pick up, and hand in. I don't have the capability to do that, becuase when I tried, it did not work.

2)When you have to "dominate" a deathknight initiate, you use the key on the "skull" on the wall to release them. This was previously working, after applying the latest core update(s), it is not. Is there a fix for this?

Currently using UDB, and the latest (As of 12:00AM EST this morning) revision for MaNGOS.

In addition to this, I see files that have the .patch extension. I am a Windows 7 user, and I do not/have not messed with UNIX/Linux based OS's... is there a possible tut already in existance, or a small piece of advice someone could give in order to apply them (properly)... I tried before, and again, it gave back errors when I did. (I did it via command prompt).

When you say you tried the command prompt... do you mean cygwin? If not, download cygwin. It's a wrapper for the Windows API that mimics the POSIX API, and it comes with bash (the most popular unix command shell). You can choose from a huge selection of other unix tools during the install, including command-line patch.

Thanks, I'll look into it. The original tools that I used are along the lines of... http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm

In addition to that, the methodology followed was...

patch -p0 patch-filename

[Sword1776]

Ah. It's going to be basically the same with what I suggested.

What kind of errors are you getting? Is it not finding the files at all? Patches not applying cleanly because your files have been modified? Etc.

[IAmHavok]

If you give me approximately... 15 minutes, I can post back with the exact error. I'll just follow what I did and give you the readout.

Git BASH includes Cygwin and a bunch of tools, like UNIX patch.

I'm aware, I can also apply patches through TortoiseSVN. Which I have both Git BASH, and TortoiseSVN. When I try to apply the Eye_sd2.patch file, it says this: C:\\sources\\mangos\\scripts\\eastern_kingdoms\\scarlet_enclave is not a working copy. C:\\sources\\mangos\\scripts\\eastern_kingdoms\\scarlet_enclave does not exist

Could not retrieve revision 1749 of the file C:\\sources\\mangos\\scripts\\eastern_kingdoms\\scarlet_enclave\\ebon_hold.cpp. Patching is not possible.

Inside my C:\\sources\\mangos folder I have the latest revision off of http://github.com/mangos/mangos.git.

That's because you are trying to apply the patch to the wrong folder. My guess is that in the patch, it tries to apply to scripts/eastern_kingdoms/scarlet_enclave/ebon_hold.cpp. Apply it to whichever folder has the path in it, NOT the mangos folder (probably src/bindings/ScriptDev2 in this case)
