Hello there! I'm gathering data on GOs all around the World of Warcraft on official servers. They are 100% precise coords (Map/X/Y/Z/Orientation). I want to create a gatherer database with those data, but not only (I want to create a free DB for all the developers of servers or addons, whatever). The problem is that I can't seem to find a way to transform these coordinations into zones ones. I've extracted the WorldMapArea.dbc data and put it on a DB table. The problem is I can't get valid coords. I tried to make a sample code to get all the Durotar GOs spawns, and while they should all stay on the ground of Durotar, they're spread all around the map!!! This is the PHP code: <?php ///////////////////////// // MySQL configuration // ///////////////////////// $host = "127.0.0.1"; $port = 3306; $username = "me"; $password = "justme"; $database = "mydb"; $mysql = mysql_connect($host.":".$port,$username,$password); mysql_select_db($database); ///////////////////////// ///////////////////////// $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gatherer_worldmaparea WHERE ref_area=14 LIMIT 1"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($sql); $y_min = floatval($row['y_max']); // have to switch the name in the DB $y_max = floatval($row['y_min']); // have to switch the name in the DB $x_min = floatval($row['x_max']); // have to switch the name in the DB $x_max = floatval($row['x_min']); // have to switch the name in the DB $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gatherer_data"); $i=0; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) { $x = floatval($row['x']); $y = floatval($row['y']); if($x >= $x_min && $x <= $x_max && $y >= $y_min && $y <= $y_max) { $vars[$i]['x'] = ($row['x']-$x_min)/(($x_max-$x_min)/100); $vars[$i]['y'] = ($row['y']-$y_min)/(($y_max-$y_min)/100); $i++; } else echo "X: ".$row['x']."

What's wrong with it? Format for the maps is: ?maps=ZONEID:XX(.)XYY(.)Y There are about 1'163 spawns, while there should be around 560, is there something wrong with my code? I'm also trying to transform these data into Gatherer valid one, but I have no idea on how to do it. Thanks.

uhm... will sWorld.SendWorldText send a text like the motd or a textbox? I even don't think it's possible, but it is possible to send a message box, as like as a frame or something else? Or I need an addon?

Not a chat motd, but rather a MESSAGE BOX with more then few lines...

Hello there! Is there a way to send a textbox to any character who logs into the world? It would be nice to give some informations about the realm ^^ Thanks

cout << message << endl;

P.S. Even if it's called 'RPG', WoW isn't it... An RPG (in my opinion) is a game where you can play a role in a world and do EVERYTHING you want... as like as... kill your master O.ò or... investigate... any PC game can't reproduce it as like as there are TOO many variables to handle... what WoW and quests try to reproduce is about 2/5 of a *real* RPG. Just IMHO

An idea should be a textual / basic graphics (or pseudo 3D) client written in C++ of course... but I don't have the knowloedge to start... and progress... and finish it Maybe in OpenGL for crossplatform usage?
