I don't normally stick my nose where it doesn't belong, and coding and bugs are ABSOLUTELY a place my nose doesn't belong, but this post made me mad! This is not true. You can easily use the GM function ".questcomplete [questID/shift-click quest]" to complete this quest and advance the DK plotline. Also, if you don't want to complete the quest and you really chose to grind, there are the ".tele [locID/loc plain name]" and the ".gm fly on" codes to get you wherever you want to go. To anyone having trouble with a quest because coding doesn't support it, GM functions always work to bypass the issue. Just my two cents. -Lith

My big question is how do all those private servers out there support cata? The reason I think this is related to MANGOS is because there is a youtube video out there that has links to something called NOVO and they say that the NOVO server core is based on MANGOS. I never downloaded it because it says there are huge trainer problems and it was made for alpha 4.0.0 last year, but there are so many servers out there that support 4.1 and 4.2 that it baffles me how they have figured it out. I'm just looking for how they are doing it. If someone has played on one of those servers, I would love to know how well it works and how they are able to do it. I'm sure one of you will say "sign up and find out yourself", but the problem is I move apartments a lot nowadays and my bandwidth will not allow me to play warcraft over the internet anymore. I play MANGOS supporting 3.3.5 12340 alone on my laptop for fun (I call it world of onecraft... whatever...) -Lith

Ok everyone. Thank you very much for your help. I recompiled MANGOS and SCRIPTDEV2 and came out with the same problems, but this time I paid more attention to the resulting messages while I applied the SQL patches. Turns out, and I really don't know why, but NONE of my "character" SQL patches were applied successfully. The command I used was: mysql -uroot -p -v -D characters < ####_characters_PATCHNAME.sql I was under the belief that I had to do this string ONLY for #### after my MANGOS revision, but I was wrong. As I applied each patch, SQL kept returning "ERROR: this patch is ####, you have to apply patch #### first!" Turns out I had to go all the way back to the 0.5 folder and apply ALL characters patches through ALL folders. It took me about two hours to find all of them. Prior to update 0.8, none of the patches had the DB name to which they must be applied, so it was a guessing game at that point for me. Anyway, after all that work, now all of my waypoint based quests work! Thank you for your help. I wouldn't have found the problem if I didn't ask here. -Lith

I am having a problem compiling SCRIPTDEV2 as well. I have compiled MANGOS first, but when I compile SCRIPTDEV2 afterward, it makes it to like 493 (escort_ai.cpp) and fails out. I just downloaded MANGOS through GIT and SCRIPTDEV (1994) through SVN. What am I doing wrong? -Lith P.S. I am compiling in VS2008 Express and I dont know how to find my revision of MANGOS, but i just downloaded both tonight!

Oh wow! Thank you all for this incredible help! I will do these steps and reply to let you know how it all turned out! -Lith

oooh... scriptdev2... i dont remember if i installed this or not. if i install it now, will that fix problems or do i have to start from scratch and recompile everything including mangos? -Lith

So are you telling me to post this issue in the UDB forums? -Lith

Good morning, all! Like everyone else, I am going to apologize first for my n00b questions. I am running mangos for 3.3.5a 12340 and for the most part it works great. The only problems I am having seem to involve waypoints: No NPC escort quest works. Any time the quest giver is supposed to walk a route and help you fight if you get in to trouble, all I get is the quest giver standing in one spot or following me like a pet. Also along these lines are quests where you take control of something else. When the "something else" spawns, my keyboard still controlls me and not the thing I am supposed to move. No change to the world based on user input works. For example, when you enter the forge area of UTGARDE KEEP, the forge doesn't stop burning to allow you access to the rest of the instance. (I assume this is a waypoint issue because my character can't find the exact spot on the map to cross to make this event happen. I have killed everything in the room, but the fire is still there.) No WotLK U/I change works. For example, non-mount related vehicles like horses, cars, and dragons. If my chara does mount the vehicle, the screen U/I doesn't change. Most of the time, my chara doesn't mount the vehicle at all. Another strange thing is faction changes. For example, in the DK starting area, when you are supposed to steal a horse and turn it into a death charger mount. The horses I am supposed to steal are friendly to me and being attacked by the enemies in the area. Everything else seems to work just fine. Quest drops happen more frequently than I remember, but I am ok with that. I love the project! I wish I could help with it, but I am nowhere near the programmer needed for a project like this. Please let me know what I need to do to make the above things work and I will do my best. Thanks! -Lith
