  1. The last few years have been hard for MaNGOS.

    The pandemic hurt us all, but on top of that we've also had the following:

    Losing Necrovoice (our resident DB expert) was a huge lose - RL issues meant that he had to stand down until further notice.
    Losing our remaining two full time devs was a huge loss - Again RL issues meant they both had to stand down permently.

    I also had huge personal losses in 2022 which resulted in me having to step back from active duty for 6 months. I offered to officially step down but my two colleagues and fellow trustees of Mangos didn't want me to.

    So for 2023, where does this lead Mangos ?

    Here's what I know !

    • I'm just about back onboard, as is MadMax (the other trustee remains anonymous for now)
    • We have no full time Mangos core devs
    • We have no full time Mangos DB devs

    So the situation sounds grim, is mangos finished ?

    We are in better shape than after the massive hack / takedown attempt just under 10 years ago.

    Back then, we had no dev team, no admin team and had lost all the code repositories, In ten years we rebuilt and now have stronger cores than we ever did.

    Mangos is a community project and as such belongs to each and every one of you. Madmax and I are only the guardians who look after it and protect it,

    I love mangos and will do what I can to see it prevail. To that end, I ask anyone who can to contribute and help us make it better.

    Access denied for user 'mangos'@'localhost'

    This error is a permission issue.
    Specifically, user mangos@localhost does not have permission to access the database

    To test this, change your .conf files to use the user root and the password used when installing mysql.

    As I side note, I moved from Mysql to MariaDB earlier this year and have never looked back. MySQL 8.x is an utter mess.

  3. Sorry for the delay in replying.

    Sadly, MangosThree is not in a good place.....
    Easybuild and the MangosThree are stuck on the Rel21 build system
    MangosZero, One and Two are on Rel22

    The bug you mentioned has been fixed on Rel22, but i'm unable to retro-fix it on Easybuild for Rel21

    Can I hazard a guess that you are running a non-English OS ?
    - This bug is caused by the regional settings of the PC being set to non-English when the cmake version number is checked.

    The original check was checking the version number of cmake.exe against 3.19. However on non-English systems, this is presented as 3,19.
    Comparing 3.19 against 3,19 causes the crash.

    A quick workaround is to switch the regional settings to English and perform a build, then switch back afterwards.
    - You normally only need to generate the visual studio solution file once anyway.

    Hope this helps.
