Client question

[Coolfox]

Hello mangos,

I've got a question About the 4.3.3. Client. I was wondering why i'am not be able to play with the worgen or draenei. There must be missing a expansion or something. How can i fix this?

[shlainn]

Have you set the expansion for your account on the server to the proper value?

[Coolfox]

Hmm, i think not. Where can i find this? In the mangos conf?

[jududdar]

Your expansion flag will be in your realmd database, under the account table. Find the column "expansion"

0 = vanilla

1 = burning crusade

2 = lich king

3 = cataclysm

Make sure you exit to the login screen on the client, and log back in to get the change.

That was the problem indeed. The problem lies whitin the MangosWeb v3. Think i need a new portal here. Any suggestions?

[jududdar]

No suggestions from my end as I, too, use MangosWeb v3. I'm very satisfied with it, but I use WotLK on my server. I looked around in the code to try and find a way to add an option for Cataclysm, but after a while it all ran together. If you're good with PHP, though, you might glean a bit from my looking around...

Under \\core\\SDL\\class.account.php - line 823, there is a setExpansion function. I can't figure how to make it create an account with option 3 inserted into account table. Although, if you look at \\inc\\account\\account.manage.php - line 160, that function is called to run. You may be able to dabble around and make it work... or you may find a nice elegant solution in a new portal. I wouldn't know where to start there, but let me know if you find something neat!

Is the only thing you need a fix during the registration so that they register and have permissions for Cataclysm? If that's all then I can help you out with it, but if it's you want a full new Theme made and all then I don't know if I'm willing to take that project while I'm working on my project.
