MangosClient aka PseuWoW

[shlainn]

Description

PseuWoW is an ongoing effort to implement a game client which offers protocol compatibility with MaNGOS. As a learning project. Very much like MaNGOS.

Features

• supports MaNGOS Zero, One and Master
  
• Win, Linux & Mac
  
• uses WoW Data files for a simple GUI
  

The project is still very much alpha and not playable (but it is possible to log in and move around). Any help is appreciated!!!

Ive been trying to get this working several times, where is our wiki guide! Would be very useful as a gamemaster! (And now i demand you to make a iPhone app with chat abilities ;D) Going to clone your repo now once again and see if i can get it running! Keep it up!

Actually there are compile instructions on https://github.com/shlainn/pseuwow... If it still doesn't work post your problem on the mangosclient forums...

As for the iPhone app: Donate an apple SDK and we can talk...

Guess this is a solution, but i wasn't really asking you to do that.... It was more like "that would be cool, but i don't expect anyone to do it" ^^,

yah... getting it to be a "game" on normal systems would be a start. Porting it to iDevices after that... at some point...

Well, the Android SDK is free.

I do hope there will come a day when I can help, but my C++ skills have a long way to go. Would be great to make a WoW game we've all wanted to see. Maybe one of the "lost" expansions, like Emerald Dream?

Hey Shlainn, Thought I'd give this another bash but I can't get it to compile:

[ 65%] Building C object src/dep/src/StormLib/CMakeFiles/StormLib.dir/src/libtommath/bn_s_mp_sqr.c.o

[ 65%] Building C object src/dep/src/StormLib/CMakeFiles/StormLib.dir/src/libtommath/bn_s_mp_sub.c.o

make[1]: *** [src/dep/src/StormLib/CMakeFiles/StormLib.dir/all] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2

[root@localhost build]#

Now, admittedly this is on my Mangos server so I've compiled mangos here without issues plenty of times. What am I doing wrong? This is a Fedora 16 pizzabox.

you are missing bzip2 library, probably dev version of it. try to install it (yum install bzip2-devel or something like that should solve it)

oh, sweet! Thanks, I'll try that!

*edit: Sucess!! I keep thinking these errors are project specific, I should Googe more often...

On the final cusp of compiling, I got this:

I googled this but nothing that fixed other people's problems fixed this for me...

[shlainn]

Hmm, this looks weird. Have you got the proper dev libraries for x11?

This is on my Fedora 16 Server but I'm pretty sure it's installed since I did:

# yum groupinstall "X Software Development"

and 38 odd packages were installed or upgraded. Still got the same error... I might have to try it on my 12.10 ubuntu install when I get home next week if this still can't be fixed.... I might have better luck there?

[shlainn]

As this appears to be a problem with the graphics engine, please verify that you have all the packages listed under http://irrlicht3d.org/wiki/index.php?n=Main.InstallingIrrlicht#BuildLinux installed

[alexluana_]

can you guys please post a vid about this?

[bugeyedcreepy]

so still stuffing about with this... I found this:

http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15676

Which made mention of this:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange

which was fixed in the build system to refer to the missing but referenced link. Would this be super hard for a non-programmer type to discover? It apparently became a big problem on Fedora based distros due to this unhack (i.e. how it was always supposed to be but wasn't so it was changed to the inconvenience of everyone).
