Hi, my mangos server is running on an debian 64-bit dedicated server. To start my process I use this script: #!/bin/sh screen -dmS mangos-worldd-restarter ./restarter_debug_bin.sh screen -dmS mangos-realmd ./mangos-realmd Which calles: #!/bin/sh ############### # About: Auto restart mangos-worldd on crash & generate crash report into crash_log_(DATE_TIME).log ############### # 1. Compile MaNGOS with parameter: --with-debug-info # 2. Put auto_restarter.sh into compiled mangos directory (where folders: bin/, lib/, etc/) # 3. (Only once): chmod +x auto_restarter.sh # 4. Usage: ./auto_restarter.sh -c etc/mangosd.conf # p.s. Make sure you have "gdb" installed. ############### # config: # path to mangos-worldd binary daemon=./mangos-worldd # system export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH if [ "`ulimit -c`" -eq 0 ]; then ulimit -c unlimited fi while true do MANGOS=`ps -el | grep mangos-worldd` $daemon $* if [ -z "$MANGOS" ]; then dte=`date +%F_%H-%M-%S` gdb $daemon core.* --batch --eval-command="bt ful" > ../logs/crash/crash_log_$dte.log mv crash_log_$dte.log gdb/crash_log_$dte.log mv log/Server.log dc/Server-$dte.log gzip dc/*.log --best rm core.* fi sleep 5 done Anyway, this was pretty nice untill i reinstalled my server (the whole debian server, not just mangos ). Now I get with every crash an 0 Byte Crashlog. First, I thought it was because of missing rights, but I granted the logs folder all rights. Notice that the process creates the crashlogs corectly, but does not write anything to the file. drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 12. Dez 10:46 logs Does somebody has an idea? Thanks in advice Marik

Yes, this is really frustrating. I thought about reviving in three (or so) sequential frames. What do you think about this? Marik

I remember we had (or still have) a similar bug on our server. The user told me, that if someone equipp more than 3 of these special gems, their wow crashes. How many gems did you equip? Marik

That would be very nice. I've tried the patch on the last revision, but there are way to many conflicts Marik

That was a joke. Anyway, now it works properly again. Thanks

An error was encountered Error: Page Not found (Error 404): The requested page /wiki/ could not be found.. --- Maybe you've deleted too much

I'am now using rsa patch (https://github.com/rsa/mangos/commit/e8b1a653d07801fdfea81de2e0352594fefea5fd). Untill now it works fine. I can summon totems everywhere (also in instances) and in a first test my scriptdev2 script doesn't crash. Further tests will be needed, but for now it looks pretty nice. Maybe we can apply this patch @ Mangos?

Hi Folks, I've investigated my Problem. Pls correct me, if i am wrong. #if PLATFORM == PLATFORM_WINDOWS inline uint32 getMSTime() { return GetTickCount(); } #else inline uint32 getMSTime() { struct timeval tv; struct timezone tz; gettimeofday( &tv, &tz ); return (tv.tv_sec * 1000) + (tv.tv_usec / 1000); } #endif Let's start with windows. It is called the GetTickCount() method from the WinAPI. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724408(VS.85).aspx) So in the case of my windows computer the Value was in the test something like 5000 0000 --> apr. 5000 seconds --> 83 minutes. 5000 0000 is a relative small number and fits in a unit32 without problems. So now Linux. gettimeofday( &tv, &tz ); return (tv.tv_sec * 1000) + (tv.tv_usec / 1000); gettimeofday( &tv, &tz ); Calculates the seconds (and milliseconds) from the 1.1.1970. Let's Calculate. Appr. more than 40 Years = 40 * 365 days * 24 hour * 3600 seconds = 1.261.440.000 Ok this wouldn't overflow an uint32 (2^32 = 0-4.294.967.295) But you return: return (tv.tv_sec * 1000) + (tv.tv_usec / 1000); Ok, it makes sense, because we want the milliseconds, but now it ist 1.261.440.000 * 1.000 = 1.261.440.000.000 what definitively overflows the uint32 (2^32 = 0-4.294.967.295). The result from getMSTime() is used for the Updates in the world since this commit. That's new. Why I am telling you? I just want my totems back @ linux I don't now whether I am right. And even if all the points, I mentioned are correct, I do not know how it could falsify the system. I mean, so what? the milliseconds overflows the data bounds, but there would be some kind of modulo operation. Timeimillisec % 2^32, would'n it? The easiest way, would be, that some please test this commit @ a platform which is not windows. Thus, nobody seams to have my totem Problem, I think all my considerations are void Anyway, Good night Everybody! Marik Small Addition: With this Commit I had very weird crashes in some scripts. In one script its crashed at three different Codelines (Play sound A, Play sound B, change flag --> Easy stuff). Before this commit I haven't got problems with this crash. And now, I am on one Commit before this, I've tested the same script and no crashes. I don't now whether it is all linked together, but it is problably.

On my debian Server anywhere. EDIT: Does anybody has also problems to summon totems on a linux distribution? Otherwise I would invest more time, to check, whether it is my fault. But as I said, the same Commit does work at windows properly.

Unfortunately I cannot summon any totems anymore with this commit @ my dedicated debian server. On Windows everything works fine. RSA, mentioned some doubts in a comment @ Github. Greetz Marik

I assumed that. First Char bought the Item, because this char has enough reputation. Second Char is at level 80, but have not enough reputation. Now i thought, the fix, solves this Problem. I mean, that my second character can use (enchant) the item despite of his missing reputation. Where is my error in reasoning? By the way: I dont now why Blizzard has exactly two items of one enchant. Maybe the item which is sold, is the one with the reputation. And after sending the item via mail, or even earlier, after you buy it, it will transform to the item without reputation. That would make sense.

Hm. The Item, you have postet, has no reputation requirements. If I let a NPC sell it, every player (doesn't matter if he has a char with needed reputation) can buy this item. Am I wrong?

Hi, how it is supposed to work? I've pulled the current Mangos version and bought me with a char http://www.wowhead.com/item=50335 (this char has max reputation). The Sending to another char (reputation hatefull) on my account works, but the reputation font is still read and right klick on the item tells me, that i cannot use this item. Is there some kind of flag, I've forgotten to set @ Database? Thanks in Advice Marik

I've tested it. Whether it is good code style, you have to decide. Maybe you prefer to combinte this two method calls to one new: !item->HasGeneratedLoot() || item->IsTemporaryLoot() Thats implementation details. I hope, I could help. Marik

I think the problem lies in hier: if (!item->HasGeneratedLoot()) { item->loot.clear(); switch(loot_type) { case LOOT_DISENCHANTING: loot->FillLoot(item->GetProto()->DisenchantID, LootTemplates_Disenchant, this,true); item->SetLootState(ITEM_LOOT_TEMPORARY); break; case LOOT_PROSPECTING: loot->FillLoot(item->GetEntry(), LootTemplates_Prospecting, this,true); item->SetLootState(ITEM_LOOT_TEMPORARY); break; case LOOT_MILLING: loot->FillLoot(item->GetEntry(), LootTemplates_Milling, this,true); item->SetLootState(ITEM_LOOT_TEMPORARY); break; default: loot->FillLoot(item->GetEntry(), LootTemplates_Item, this,true); loot->generateMoneyLoot(item->GetProto()->MinMoneyLoot,item->GetProto()->MaxMoneyLoot); item->SetLootState(ITEM_LOOT_CHANGED); break; } } break; } In the first round u can fullfill if (!item->HasGeneratedLoot()). But then you set item->SetLootState(ITEM_LOOT_TEMPORARY); Now item->HasGeneratedLoot() returns true and if (!item->HasGeneratedLoot()) is false. Therefore the programm does not acces the above code and does not create the new loot. Greetz Marik

Addition: It depends on the Stack. So if i have a 20 Stack of an ore just the first has a loot. But, if there is another Stack, again the first has loot. Addition2: After Prospecting two different Stacks it is not possible to stack items together, anymore. (So i Can not stack two different Stacks with each 10 Ores)

Mangos Version: [10675] Custom Patches: None SD2 Version: None Database Name and Version: Current PSMDB The Problem: Since the implementation of partly item looting (http://github.com/mangos/mangos/commit/be120e8800e7b090fbe450bb9c7dabb8c5ba640d), it is not possible to get some loot from Miling and Prospecting. I.E.: First time i mile or prospect i get a loot. The next x-times the loot is empty Greetz Marik

Hello, Since the new ACE version http://github.com/mangos/mangos/commit/3c0f8c0efca896fd900adc7bc4cce6ec6360086c my server crashes really often:

Hi, I've a small aesthetic thing. It's not so bad I hope. Anyway, I get sometimes an Database Error: The only function in the code, which creates such a SQL Query is the follow: Does somebody have an idea how it comes, that the uint32 in combination with the %u flag can be "0&"? Isn't that mysterious somehow? Greeting Marik

Hi, now i've changed the wait_timeout system variable (in my mysqlserver) from 8 houts to 7 Days. I guess that will prevent my "server gone away" problem. Thanks

So, whats the solution to let the mysql server "come back" ? I Mean what code can I use too test it and thus reconnect the mysql server with the gameserver? I would add this code beforce every Query.

Hi folks, I've tried the modified ScriptDev2 from RSA (http://github.com/rsa/scriptdev2/commits/master), where the spells are saved in a table. The framework loads all spellentrys at runtime. Unfortunatelly, sometimes (i cannot find some kind of order, it just happens sometimes [maybe the server runs for a too long time?]) i get an mysql error: The server runs without other errors. If i type the query in a mysql console (e.g. navicat), the query works fine. The reason, why i've created a thread in this forum, is because the framework from RSA uses the standard database access from mangos. So I expect the error in the mangos software not in the scriptdev framework. Maybe someone has an Idea. Thanks in Advice Marik Edit: I Use the standard Mangos Core with some Modification to run rsa's sd2: http://www.file-upload.net/download-2882159/muh.patch.html

Before I try to teleport to someone in an instance (.goname playername) I always delete all my IDs with .instance unbind all. Unfortunatelly that doesn't end this "anomaly".

Hello, i am not sure, whether it is truly a bug or just some caching problem or something like that. Anyway, I sometimes cannot teleport to players in an Instance. To be exact no Gamemaster can. If you try, you will be portet to the nearest graveyard. However, the problem is not appearing always. For instance there are two groups with different IDs, it is possible to teleport to one group whereas the other group reveals the bug. Thanks in Advice Marik(23)
