Hello here^^ Of course I am a new seed here^^ Nevertheless I'v beeing following your discusion here and I would like to give my opinion. I could be mistaking but I fell this is a wrong path for this nice community. What are you talking about? Universal right for education or knowledge? A very repectable fight, but like mentioned here, this combat is justified to help populations that have this right denied. We are talking of people how are either under a dictator government or/and are minoritys that see there basic rights ignored. Now for these populations, right for education and knowledge relates for what is considered like universal knowledge in our democraties : going to school, learning how to read and count… going to high school… All bases for emancipation and free jugement… In no case this combat is about creating a MMORPG server. And unless I am wrong, this is what we are talking about day after day here^^ Of cours through this project, many here, expand there knowledge concerning programming, and this is with no doubt the most important of the Mangos project. And also the more fun^^ Learning how to use all those tools^^ But, in my point of vue, you cannot built a fondation project on ambiguity. Either you built your fondation project clearly on the idea that creating a MMORPG server is a personal creation that cant be restrained by legal copyrights of editors, or you have to admit that at a point one might tell you « Ok you want to work for the right of knowledge and education, very well, you will have my money and support… but the day you start working without using creations of other without legal authorisations. » If your idea is to fight against intellectual propriety, id'say forget it. The idea of a total opened and free world is another face of oppresion. Nothing privat? Nothing protected by law? In my point of vue a nightmare!… Sounds like… back in the USSR ! I would rather start working on the idea that what we are doing here belongs to us. That the WoW univers is a « material » like another. Creators have always « used » other creations to creat. If this wasn't true we should start a legal procedure against Blizzard for using character of the Wizard of Oz in Karazan… among so many other references… But at the buttom line, I am not sure the project of a foundation is a good idea. Blizz has other things to doo rather than launching legal procedures against a few groups of programmers here and there - it would be by the way a very bad operation in termes of image - … but the day one of these groupe comes public with the project to legalize it's activity… you better be ready for it! I remember of this idea coming from the US in the 80's : "Small is Beautiful" I strongly believe that Small Is Beautiful !

Thank you antiroot, I see what I have to save:) Going to check your thread MasterControlProgram, thanks^^

Hello guys^^ Thank you for your advises. Think I'm getting ready for an upgrade *crosses his fingers*^^ Just one more thing antiriot, could you please be kind enough to give me the precise location of these files you copy for save? Searched for them in my Mangos file… I'm not quite sure, are these in the bin folder? Thanks! Thank you for the thread on SQL commands MasterControlProgram. Going to check this! By the way… bought the other day a book : « SQL Server - Administration d'une base de données avec SQL Server Management Studio »… he is looking at me on my office, strong of his 500 pages of mystery… yelling : « when do you open me! »… Not using SQL Server Management Studio, but SQLyog, but I guess it will help me.

Hello everybody. I am thinking of updating my core version up to 399. My server is actualy : UDB 0.12.1 (393) for MaNGOS 10545 with SD2 SQL for rev. 1833 ACID 3.08 - Client version 3.3.5 (12340). It's running smoothly and I never upgraded so for my first upgrade I want to be sure getting it right^^ First of all, I would appreciate having infos to save my current server… just in case I mess up things! I have made copies of former folder Mangos, and tryed yesterday to play on one of the older version, it didnt work. Impossible to launch mangosd. I guess Data is modified every day and if it dosent fit with Mangos files it wont work… What folders and files should I save if I want to run an older version of my server? I would like to save on an external hard disc. Once I have this done I could update with no stress^^ Concerning the update. I Understood the configuration for core 399 should be : MaNGOS REV 11267 - UDB 399 - ScriptDev2 1997 - ACID 3.0.8 This means I have to update everything except ACID ? Also my client version? Seems to me like a lot of work^^ Are the improvements important between core 393 and core 399? Thanks!

Thank you:) ... concerning the WoW Addiction Hotline... don't bother... they'v stopped taking my calls

It works! Thanks a million guys! It wouldn't be possible without your patience! We are two on the kingdom and it works smoothly^^ Waiting this evening for freinds to join:) Think I finally understood how it should work^^

Hello everybody. Waiting for people to acces my server, I am working on improving. I have two questions; First of all, can I update my core and then connect with my created caracters? My configuration is : UDB 0.12.1 (393) MaGNOS 10545 SD2 SQL rev. 1833 ACID 3.08 I would like to upgrade my core at 398. I understood I have to run upgrades via SQLyog and then re install ACID 3.08. Is this correct? When this is done should my created caracters run normaly? Other question concerns the veins and flowers. They are too little. I started to creat pools of veins and flower using the GM command : .gobject add (ID game object) It's a long work! Meanwille saw on UDB forum that some SQL modifications existed like : Should I try this modification, what about the pools I'v created with .gobject add ? I have a SQL file in Mangos/bin/Win32_Release that lists all the pools I'v created. Should I just erase this file to erase the pools created? Thanks!

Thanks for your help guys! Unfortunatly my IP is not static. This is why I am using DynDNS services. Going to try anyway to make this work! Alone on my server is not an option!^^ If I understood proper, I have to give mangos realmd the path to my local IP and have my wife's computer realmist set on this same local IP. On SQLyog I have made the following changes : So one can connect to my server outside via DynDNS and my wife via the local IP. My client realmist dosent change; it's : set realmlist 127.0.0.1 Client realmist of my wife should be :set realmist 192.168.1.10 (our local IP address) Does that seems right to you? Thanks! p.s. We wont be more than 5 to connect to this server... hopefully it should work^^

Thank you Patman! It's getting better! I have connected in the game with the realmd monserveur.dyndns-server.com on SQLyog! But my wife can't connect with here computer:( On here computer I have changed the realmd of here client in: set realmlist monserver.dyndns-server.com Something else to be done for here to connect? This is milles away from programing I know. Thanks for helping.

Hello everybody, I would very much appreciate some help for opening my server via DynDNS. I tried with no succes using no-IP and finaly saw that I have a configuration for DynDNS on my modem so I'm trying again with DynDNS… - DynDNS is up - green condition - changed the adress on SQLyog - added a new line in Windows/System32/drivers/etc/host - for the realmd of my client. I understood I have to keep « set realmd 127.0.0.1 » on my computer and have « set realmd monserveur.dyndns-server.com » for an outside computer. With the realmd at 127.0.0.1, I can connect via my computer to the kingdom screen, but impossible to enter the kingdom. Checked « log » on DynDNS Updater, I have the following informations: 03-20-2011 11:20:14 - Updater: Service started. 03-20-2011 17:06:40 - WINHTTP: The request timed out. 03-20-2011 17:06:44 - GetHostList: WinHttpSendRequest failed. Unable to send the request to the HTTP server. If you have an idea it would be great! Thanks!

Thank you faramir118, Going to try this... and yes I should learn more about sql your very right^^

Hello everybody, I would appreciate a little help for the configuration with no-ip of my server. Got a no-ip IP; myserver.no-ip.org. Launch the No-IP DUC v3.0.4. Everything is up. Client ID OK, Updating: 0 groups & 1 Host OK, IP OK. Now if I understood, I have to change the IP in SQLyog and on the realmd of my client. Relamd of my client will be : set realmlist myserver.no-ip.org I have to put this IP in SQLyog as well. Tryed to paste it but I dont know how to save. Also should I paste it as well on the second line? Thanks for your help!

Thank you antiroot. Going to .save and store the files. By the way, will it be eventually possible to use these players file if I create another server. Lets say I want to upgrade, or creat a server on another machine, would it be possible to importe the players files?

Hello everybody, Two little questions. I experienced my first crash of mangosd exe. after changing settings on ahbot conf. (Auction House patch) Re runned mangosd exe and it worked smoothly. Is it bad to change settings after the world has been created? For example changing settings of mangos conf. or ahbot conf. ? Concerning crashes, I would like to save datas of players on my server, could someone please indicate where these data are? Cant find them, neither in my client folder or in Mangos folder. Thanks!

Thank you antiroot. Auction works just fine! It's fun^^ I had to place it to the right directory. Concerning the console commande, I finally found detailed answers. For info, the order to send items is: .send items (name of the player) "texte of the message with the mail" "subjet of the mail" (ID of the item)

Hi everybody, Got two questions; My AHBot auction house is installed but I cant find the order line to enable it, I have the following message in my console : Here is my AHBot conf.: Other question; How do I use my console in or out of game, for example to creat in my inventory or to send to a player an item? Found some console orders like ADD<item ID>, tryed entering the order while in game with no succes. Thanks for your help:)

Hello everybody! Finally it's Up! It's really awesome! A real pleasure ! Thanks a million guys for your kind help! It was tough for me but with your help I'v succeded! ... well you will probably hear more of my stupid questions... but I'm willing to know more about the different programs running here! hopefully I will soon be helping some new people here:) by the way, where is the link for a donnation? Take care!

It was the missing data in DataDir "." It works. thanks!

Hi everybody, It seems I'm almost there... but launching mangosd.exe, the window closes. Here is my Server log : Searched for this missing map on my pc... found it and placed it in the map folder... still have the same error message. "maps" and "vmaps" folders are in C:/Mangos DataDir value in mangosd.con is : DataDir = "." Thanks for helping me with this.

Thank you Darkknight900. Reinstalled Git Bash. Couldn't put git cheetah ex. for it dosent work on 64bit system but configured Git so it works juste fine now.

Thanks Darkknight900. Finaly understood how it works^^

Hi, Got a little problem using Git Bash to creat an Auction House. I'v got to launch Git Bash by right clic on a temporaly folder in C:/ The problem is that right clic on a folder doesn't give a thread to Git Bash. I have option to Tortoise or SVN but not to Git Bash. So I created the ahbot_patch out of C:/ and manualy transported it in C:/ Unfortunatly Git Bash doesn't find the patch when I have to "git apply Addon/AHBot/ahbot.patch" Question is: Is there a special way to launch Git Bash other than right clic for this to work? Could it work if I put Git Bash in the folder befor launching it? Eventually is there another way, whithout Git Bash, to apply this patch once it is created? Thanks!

Desperatly need help for updating data via SQLyog for MySQL 5.1 Hi again, I'm on a dead end here! Impossible to upgrade my databases! Need somebody to explain me in detail how SQLyog works. Following Patman128's guide, I have to proceed in : On the Wiki is mentionned : Now the problem is that I dont know how to acces to these database via SQLyog. Enclosed different screen with SQLyog and its menu. (screens I to X ) I tryed to acces to Database Mango - Table db_version. Double clicked on mangos (right clic dosent work) and opened « info », then opened db_version… (screens XI to XII) Also tryed acces to realmd database info ( screen XIII) The infos I have dont seem accurate. Nothing concerning my UDB version or Creature AI like mentioned on the guide L Now I have a line that indicates « required _10537_01_mangos_command bit(1) NULL » I assume its the updated required for the mangos database… open the top center menu « Restore From SQL Dump » and search for the required database upgrade. (screen XIV) Only one line of upgrade dosent seems good! I am definitly wrong on this step! I have a load of upgrades lines dowloaded! For mangos, characters, realmd database! How do I upgrade with SQLyog? Other question: what should I do with upgrades dowloaded with my UDB (screen A)? How do I launch them with SQLyog? In witch database? A Thanks for helping! I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII XIII XIV

Thanks Yonux!

Hi again^^ Need some more help for updating my databases. First I viewed db_version by opening the « info » menu and not by right clic on db_version… assume it's ok… but it might not be… Anyway I have the enclosed screen for the mangos database with : « required_10537_01_mangos_command bit(1) NULL » Go to the uper center menu « Restore From SQL Dump », go to C:\\Mangos\\sql\\updates and choose « 10537_01_mangos_command.sql » Assume I have to « Execute » this update and then do the same for Characters and Realmd databases. What troubles me is that in the Wiki is mentionned : « Make sure that the SQL dumps are only [revision]_[#]_mangos_[fix] », what does [fix] stands for? Should I proceed with updating « 10537_01_mangos_command.sql »? And continue in the same way for Characters and Realmd databases? Thanks!
