[7252] command for starting bg with just one player

[balrok]

hello, i've writte a gm-command which allows to enter a battleground with just one player (if minplayers in battleground_template is set to 1)

to use it, enter ".debug bg" - this command is great for testing battlegrounds, so you don't have to start 2 clients for it..

i post it here, cause i don't think this gets added, and maybe someone wants to rewrite it, or just use it

patch can be found here: http://mangos-files.eu/patches/bg_test.patch

todo: set minplayers to 1 even if not specified in bg_template

add mysql-entry for gm command

maybe merge it with .debug arena (but it seems, that current .debug arena has some bugs)

I thought u can start a bg by turning on .gm on and then talk to the battle master and the BG starts?

[przemratajczak]

which revision and which branch it match?

trying to git apply to mangos-0.12 (7201) and have conflicts.

[balrok]

it's for master, and the conflicts aren't hard to solve

@numnut: i think your thought are wrong

[danthedust2]

Hey balrok thats great stuff but it would be cool if we could have this in mangosd.conf

[balrok]

yes - this is a good idea, currently i have a makro to turn it on after login every time..

also i guess someone on a productive server wouldn't use this gm-command - so it's ok if the server have to be restarted to apply bg-debug

[balrok]

i've rewritten it a bit now it's a conf option and can maybe also replace .debug arena

it can be found in my repo:

git://github.com/balrok/mangos.git

in branch

bg_debug

this is also untested cause of my broken computer

and don't forget to edit your configs for testing - default is disabled debugging..

In fact your patch only allowed in original state start bg with only single team minimal requirement but still req. this minimum.

But this fixed in added version in [7252] and mangos-0.12. Thank you

Ah, i apply version from simple_fixes....

[added]

As i check this is same patch at branch. So move to accepted.

[balrok]

thank you,

this is infact the same.. also your fix was right.. i haven't fixed it, cause i wanted to have it as conf-option cause i guess that this kind of debugging isn't on productive servers

but i'm happy that this feature is inside master - then developing will go much faster with battlegrounds

Sorry to necro this old thread but given that this change was commited how does one enable the function in mangosd.conf? mangosd.conf.dist.in makes no mention of it.

you type .debug bg

[apoptygma]

Is there a way to make that happen on each and every startup of mangosd?

[VladimirMangos]

modify code, make it default? becuase in general this useless

[apoptygma]

I just wondered if MaNGOS has some sort of 'autoexec' type functionality.

[VladimirMangos]

no

.debug g is global set command, so this will need server startup auto execute. Not see reason have it in fact...

[apoptygma]

I'm guessing this is a GM command too from the (.) period before it, is it possible to execute from the mangosd window/prompt at all or is it only available in-game on a GM account?

The reason I ask all these questions is that for solo play it's nice to be able to complete the quests in the battlegrounds for a small experience boost, especially the AV ones.
