I fixed mine by adding my computer to the DMZ on my router. The router's firewall is bad...

I'm on patch 3.3.2 and I have the same issues, ever since i updated...

Clients authenticate and nothing....

I can connect even though i use my external IP as the realmlist.

There is no firewall on the linux system and ports on the router are forwarded correctly.

MaNGOS just had to build itself to the protocols blizzard defined, you can probably create a server a lot easier then how the MaNGOS one is done

True I forgot that, what i make is what i want and doesn't have to follow a client made by someone else..

best thing you can do is use some code from mangos, like the netcode, ByteBuffer and helper classes, the singleton implementation, and some more.

content- or data-wise its not a goood idea to use the same files, formulas, and whatnot. also you shouldnt use the map/grid code for example, unless you fully understand it (i dont :lol:).

i asked these questions you had above myself a while ago, because me+some others started writing an own game client/server, a somewhat different game tho, but simillar style.

if you are new to c++ and so and not that familiar with it, it is another reason you should try to write most things on your own. if you dont understand code and have to change it later, it can be a pain.

that just as general advice.

Time to get a drawing board, some people and a lot of pizza, maybe this will get somewhere.....

It will be very hard to start something though, especially when I don't know c++ that well.

What i thought would *maybe* be a good idea, is to look at MaNGOS and start from scratch and create something like it yet different enough to be its own idea.

So much thinking to do....:confused:

Yeah, it would be better not to use MaNGOS in my opinion, because there are much more flexible and better ways to do this. The amount of work you would have to do to convert MaNGOS over would be more than to write you own most likely.

What if it would be a lets say a fork of MaNGOS some basic core of it and rest remade for the other purpose?

I understand your point with writing a completely new core, but that's a huge amount of work plus i'm just starting to learn how to program, and i think the best way to learn is to actually do it so i wanted to use something stable to work from it.

I am afraid that one person will not be able to do that

But maybe its worth a try? I would love to try using MaNGOS for that because then it would get more devs eventually and both would profit, the question is how/where to start.

If anyone is interested in helping just tell me maybe we can start something very interesting

Ah, so it would be very similar to WoW without changing the core...

But if change the core it can be whatever i want right?

I guess i would have to make my own extractors then too. But how would you make a map file though?

Would it be possible to develop a game based on MaNGOS (without modifying anything except the DB) or is the framework too specific towards Wow?

I'm just curious because if it is OpenSource, then someone can make a completely free MMORPG out of it, which would be awesome

Still doesn't work, Its also bugged in Orgrimmar.

Very cool I have been waiting on this for a long time. Great job and keep up the great work... Do have one question though and I am thinking it is the same error I always make and miss an update to sql.

I have a long sting of errors as follows

Item (Entry: 729) not correct -1 material, must be 4 (still using DB value).

there list is huge. something I missed or one of the bugs that may be showing?

Sorry for such a noobish question

1. wrong place to ask

2. I believe since i get the same thing, its due to the fact that your DB (UDB or similar) is still 3.1.3 and there are new items missing so they are listed as missing or errors.

YOU GUYS RULE!

Thanks for the amazing work

Love you all!!!

How about a way to link current(latest) revision from github? Just have somewhere at top like "Latest Revision: xxxx "

Or at least what is the current revision, and version supported

Other than that it is very nice, hopefully it will grow!

I have the same problem.

I had 2.64 installed and downgraded to 2.63 and still nothing

any other solutions?

HAIL MaNGOS TEAM!

Thanks for another update! Time to get to work and update my server.
