[Zero Alpha] expected mangos client build

stantom · February 3, 2013

Hi

i need help with some problem. Just want check something for testing, allow wow 5666 build log to my server ( zero core for wow 5875).

I have changed in src/game/sharedDefines.h:

#define EXPECTED_MANGOSD_CLIENT_BUILD {5875,5666, 0}

then i compiled it.

5875 logins nice, but when i try login with 5666 wow it says that is wrong wersion.

So thats my question how to allow login with this build, is there more version check in core ?

you not compile use only the dbcfmt and struc and change in the newst zero version from github

At last i run sucessfully my alpha client on zero core, (sometimes it was like figt with windmills). At first sight everything look works, except interface....

for example:

- experience bar shows "bloodsails buccaners"

- cant equip anything, or put something to bag, bags always looks empty

- cant see how many point spent in talents

What could be reason of this, framexml or something else ?

I still dont understand many things, and asking you guys for suggerstions how to resolve this

Thanks for help Stan

i did homework with DBCFmt.h , adjust those xxxx'es to new dbc's lenght, recompiled

new dbc, maps and vmaps are in propper folders.

ater running mangosd it shows Initialize data stores...

[***************************************************] 102%

You have _outdated_ DBC files. Please re-extract DBC files for one from client build: 5666 5875 5991 6005

is there dbc version check ? where to find it ?

edit

i foundit in datastores.cpp, fixed to my alpha ones.

i wonder what suprises awaits next

A question to those who know how support new/old client version.

i Trying in my home poject port alpha tbc to sero core.

After logging to zero core server build 5875 , with tbc alpha client 5666 it shows like that:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

there are chess cubes instead of npcs and char, but its possible to interact with them, fight etc..

there was little difference in dbc files betwenn v.5875 and v.5666, 7 of 50 was too long, after chcecking i realized that columns are unused (probably, because all were filled with same entry or 0), so i added "XX" in DBFmt. Cant find solution for this.

is this dbc, sql, or framexml error?

server DATABASE log show sme no error, just clean log

guys could you suggest me what to do, where to check..

thanks Stan

Have you tried using this line instead?

#define EXPECTED_MANGOSD_CLIENT_BUILD        {5666,5875, 0}

I believe the values act as a range of sorts, in which the lowest value is required first. Change the line, clean and compile.

just checked .... not working

Unfortunately I can't compile a core to test at this time, I need to backup my files and wipe my desktop, sorry. I can however look through the server files to see if there is another check, but I believe there is a check in your realmlist database for client version, but I haven't dealt with MaNGOS in a long time. Sorry I can't be much help.

AuthSocket.cpp

RealmList.cpp

and

sharedDefines.h:

+ dbc struc etc need to update

Just asking, because i'd like to allow support tbc alpha 5666, how much ist complicated, is that take lot of work for begginer ?

i have copared AuthSocket.cpp zero and one core - looks same line to line.

in RealmList.cpp are listed client builds, if i addd new "case" line with 5666, does realmd allow to connect with client ?

i think it will be problem with DBC, compared dbc's 5875 and 5666, most of them are identical, but some not, (some have more colums). Is very complicated DBC supporting ?

Thanks Stan

it is TBC early alpha (on login screen shows version 2.0.0 5666), ingame is almost same with 1.12, even objects m2 and wmo models are compatybile with 1.12.

in my oppinion this alpha version is more compatybile with 1.12 than 2.x.x so i decided to use zerocore, (dont care about tbc content just need working draeneis and belves), and i'd like to keep vanilla content much as possible.

Edit 17:10

after coming home, i did above changes in realmlist.cpp and authsocket, compiled... and it works logged to realm and entered word full of cubes instead of npc's probably database or dbc is not comaptybile.

Thanks for suggestion with those files Salia.

now i must figure what to do with those cubes

thanks Stan
