On the client side, Blizzard can't tell people what servers they can connect to any more than Mozilla can tell people what sites they can browse

The flip side, of course, is that you can't sue them, either, if they find out and ban you from retail.

Would they ban 500,000 accounts? I don't think so ^^ (the 500,000 is pure imagination, I don't know how many accounts are playing on private)

Everything is money (or sex).

Like ... ?

Like...I don't know, ask them ^^

Like Vladimir converting all uint64 guids to ObjectGuids

Like NoFantasy who implemented generic system for racial model selection

etc, etc...

Some generic stuff which need to be done to have a cleaner core before they can focus on implementing new things

I think their role is to "strengthen" the core

boyhero > it's mangos.conf, not mangos.cfg

hehe thats awsome ye gonna learn full c++ and thanks for letting me know that its possible to convert it and btw mabye you have time to convert another one to c++ to thanks:D

Why do you ask this? You want to learn C++, go practice!

I don't think devs stated to not dev random BG because some BGs aren't working... as you said it's a simple config to turn on/off

However I do think they have a lot of others objectives to achieve before random BGs

Ok, the key thing is :

If you are neutral with them (and haven't checked the 'at war' checkbox), both functions will return false.

I actually didn't think about that. In my mind the 2 functions were "complementary", like "if you're not hostile you're friendly", if one returns true the other returns false.

Thanks

Yes I know, but in that case we have functions that return a bool, having (if I'm not wrong) exactly the same body.

I don't know how the "neutral" state is considered, I'd say neutral is more or less friendly.

So by definition, any working installation is unsupported.

You're right, but you're wrong.

Let's take a car as an example.

MaNGOS is the constructor. Gives you the engine, car body, windows, etc.

But after that, you need a lot of thing to drive your car : gas, engine oil, washer fluid, tires, etc.

UDB, YTDB and others provides you all these things. As Shell, Exxon or Total does for your car.

You need to feed your core. Give him something he can work with.

MaNGOS is not (fortunately not yet) a "launch and play" software that your blind little sister can install in 30 seconds.

"No wonder people are so unhelpful around here."

You're right : nobody takes the time to understand what is really MaNGOS, so they yell on forums "NOBODY HELP ME MANGOS SUCKS". As if the whole world owed them something.

Later, people who used to be helpful are just tired and stop being helpful.

Hi,

From what I've seen in Unit.cpp, IsHostileTo and IsFriendlyTo have exactly the same code, except for returns (which is quite normal).

I've spent 10 min trying to understand why, maybe something more in one function, but nothing, exactly the same.

So my question is : is there any reason for writing 2 times the same "algorithm" ?

I suggest a very simple modification :

bool Unit::IsFriendlyTo(Unit const* unit) const
{
   return !IsHostileTo(unit);
}

Tell me if I missed something.

If you change a toon's class in characters.characters while the toon is logged in, something changes it back when you log out. Perhaps that can be prevented.

Players are saved when they log out

All this stuff is clearly not mangos problem, it's DB related.

Useful suggestion : install correctly your DB

If you see MaNGOS as a "consumer software", MaNGOS forums should be opened to guests

If you see MaNGOS as what it is really, i.e a community project, MaNGOS forums should stay as they are now

More and more people with a minimum knowledge can install and use MaNGOS easily, without giving back a little something to the community.

Having to sign up for having access to the forums is, I think, a good way to involve them a bit more

Confirmed, bug exists since a few weeks actually

With a mage, I damage myself everytime I damage a enemy unit with spells.

Happened only with molten armor, but I don't know if I had the glyph.

Thanks a lot NoFantasy you did a great job !

It was not criticism, I do the same

Most of the time harry potter translations are nearly correct!

I have some bad memories from latin in school too.

I just loved the "it is some thing about intellectual touch I think" like "latin is a for crazy people" ^^ (which is true)

no, it is some thing about intellectual touch I think:

ln - logarithmus naturalis (or so, never had latin)

I love the way you translate english -> latin

"logarithmus naturalis" looks like a Harry Potter quote.

Welcome to MacDonald's!

Thank you for your order. Here is a recap :

-Mangos 3.3.5a

-New Updates [Database and ...]

-Fixed New Bugs

TOTAL : $89.45

Send the money in your CD drive, then wait for your order. You will receive it in approximately 12 min.

In french we also say "ln" for "log_e". It means "Logarithme Népérien" as a tribute to a scottish mathematician named John Napier (thanks wikipedia!). It is also called "Natural logarithm".

According Wikipedia, english also say "ln" -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm

Use 127.0.0.1 and see if it works

We need to kidnap someone from Blizzard. I'll start recruiting

Maybe a retired dev fired from Blizz who wants to take his revench? Come here dude!

bool ChatHandler::HandleGameObjectAddCommand(char* args)
{
   // number or [name] Shift-click form |color|Hgameobject_entry:go_id|h[name]|h|r
   uint32 id;
   if (!ExtractUint32KeyFromLink(&args, "Hgameobject_entry", id))
       return false;

   if (!id)
       return false;

   int32 spawntimeSecs;
   if (!ExtractInt32(&args, spawntimeSecs))
       return false;
   ...

I think the problem is from here : return false if no spawntime is specified...

Maybe try to implement a default respawn time?

   int32 spawntimeSecs;
   if (!ExtractInt32(&args, spawntimeSecs))
-        return false;
+        spawntimeSecs = /*anything you want*/;

And steal their data? Baaad

your report worked fine, or at least i received an email with your report, and someone else obviously did as they beat me to the ban

Oh ok, in fact when I click "Send report" the page loads indefinitely so I thought it didn't work. Thanks

well isnt this section given to the anything speakable ?

Yes, but not with spam

Explain me....what is the point of spamming a MMORPG server creation forum with shoes ads?...

Ban this guy, please

Btw, the report function does't work for me.

Do you really think we all speak german?
