  2. Function SetInCombatWithZone

    in OldCore modifications

    Posted

    SetInCombatWithZone for contient, lol. I not think that you want set all players in map in combat ;)

    And this implemented in diff way recently:

    Need set extra flags for boss in DB creature_template

    CREATURE_FLAG_EXTRA_AGGRO_ZONE = 0x00000200, // creature sets itself in combat with zone on aggro

    Ofc, work only in dungeons.

    But if see some cases where you think IsDungeon not appropriate. Points to it directly i can review this cases.

    You can think of my case as an "open dungeon". Place which is "continent" but only from dbc point, there are mobs/bosses and players can enter place whenever they want (just like continent), but its content is dungeon like.

  5. [question] ps3 vs "normal" server

    in OldGeneral discussion

    Posted

    I bet they did read it, but you apparently have no clue how Cell actually works...

    "Normal" C/C++ code doesn't just "run on Cell" after throwing a compiler at it. Well it does, but not on the SPUs that make the vast majority of its transistors, but on the meager PPE that has the performance of maybe a Pentium3 at best.

    Using the whole Processor means writing new code that needs to be compiled with a special compiler and run in one thread for each SPU.

    But let's just be generous and still call that hypotetical rewrite "MaNGOS", would it perform well?

    Probably not...

    MaNGOS consists of two relevant parts really, a very branch heavy logic core, and some float heavy geometry interaction (vmaps mainly). The SPEs maybe could do the float parts (although i have yet to see a convincing raytracing demo on cell...) but the SPEs suck at branch-heavy code, and the the PPE is hardly capable to compare with even one core of a current Intel/AMD CPU when it comes to logic code...

    Just for the record. I7 980XE has 107.55 GFLOPS, ps3 with its 1 core and 7 SPEs has over 200.

    This answer was needed. Thank you.

    Topic can be closed.

  6. [question] ps3 vs "normal" server

    in OldGeneral discussion

    Posted

    You would basically have to rewrite mangos to get any decent performance boost (or even to break even with an x86.) Like faramir said, there really isn't that much room to scale on it. Mangos is just too monolithic.

    Please, and for future replies, read the question first and note on the end if possible. This is question about flops (if mangos is doing them enought if it will benefit more from cell cpu or not). Not about if a majority of code must be rewriten to benefit from it. Your answer belongs to the "note part" which is not required nor desired.

  7. [question] ps3 vs "normal" server

    in OldGeneral discussion

    Posted

    Mangos isn't parallelization friendly, so I don't think it would scale any better on a PS3 than it would on an i7.

    Please, and for future replies, read the question first and note on the end if possible. This is question about flops (if mangos is doing them enought if it will benefit more from cell cpu or not) Not comparing single/dual/multi threading applications / cpus. Your answer belongs to the "note part" which is not required nor desired.

  8. [question] ps3 vs "normal" server

    in OldGeneral discussion

    Posted

    I just wanted to ask if someone tried to install ydl (yellow dog linux) on "fat" ps3 and tried to run there mango.

    Another question is would cell powered ps3 benefit from over 3 - 4 times processing power (in floating points) than any other i7 cpu when running mango ?

    This cloud be more of a question for skilled dev likve Vladimir (yes we all worship him for over 2- 3 years now) since i bet he will know if mango use more or less float points.

    I know that cell cpus are beasts when it comes to a numbers (our local medical facility has cluster of 8 of those using them for medical purpose). Their times have drooped from week/s of processing to hours/days.

    Note to anyone who will be contributing to this post:

    Dont mention here 256mb ram of ps3, or that you need ram to handle thousands of users.... that is not the point of this post. Interested in a "raw" comparsion in this situation.

  9. [bug] WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer has closed connection

    in OldBug reports

    Posted

    Mangos Version: 10047

    Custom Patches: no

    SD2 Version: 1708

    Database Name and Version : udb 391

    How it SHOULD work: not spamming WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer has closed connection

    How it DOES work:

    WorldSocket::handle_input: Peer has closed connection is being spammed to the console like 20 per second,

    maybe useful info: 1st relam on 8085 port, 2nd on 8086, (sharp / test) , test is fine no problems at all, they are at same versions always, but sharp version (running on 8085) has these in logs, people can normaly join but after like 12 - 16 hours, mangos willl just freeze, and still spamming these. Never had these problems, started like 2 - 4 days ago.

  14. [9219][patch] Allow configure to find OpenSSL if pkg-config fails

    YES! In like configure affected changes this meaning you NOT use patch. For sure you need do: autoreconf --install --force before configure for recreate configure with changes

    oh, now i remember :D i have a patch folder, i was applying this manual without autoreconf :D :D ok, my bad, sry, i wasn't helpful, testing newest rev now.

    one more just poped up during config:

    checking for OPENSSL... ../configure: line 15159: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'

    related to the "unable to compile" or i have a problem ?

  22. character->characters table change

    in OldGeneral discussion

    Posted

    i don't think it's a new feature.. but 90% of the data in characters.data are calculated on startup.. also note, that many data is now also in different tables.. plans are to remove this field from the characters table in future

    Ok, and is there someway to change model premanently ? I know that in the pas there was .set value number

    it was value 142 and 143 which was changed / moved.... and it stopped working year / years ago, so i have moved to direct change, now i see thats not possible eaither :D

  23. character->characters table change

    in OldGeneral discussion

    Posted

    hello,

    was away for a quite while, wanted to toy around with mango once more and here i found maybe a problem, maybe a feature.

    When i tried to change in mysql numbers:

    1 0 25 0 1065353216 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1800 77 102 0 0 100 0 0 0 77 102 1000 0 100 0 0 1000 1073653480 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 116 0 0 0 8 2048 4194304 1156415488 1157234688 1157234688 1053240066 1069547520 6894 6894 0 1083238927 1087433231 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1065353216 0 0 0 22 22 22 17 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 58 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85 37 0 26 0 0 12 0 0 1076737755 ...

    se the 6894 6894 ? thats the original model and tempoary model, temp model is used when you do .modify morph command, but you cannot change the original numer (you need access to sql). So after i did, model still looks like race and numbers are changed according to race model.

    Any new features added preventing such a manipulation ?

  24. Offloading to more server

    in OldGeneral discussion

    Posted

    First of all, its going to be stoneage practice but if anybody want to try or disscus, so be it.

    About minute ago , an idea hit me how to very basicly offload your players to a different server and forces them go there. 1st server will be runing whole world kalimdor, outland,.... and 2nd one will be runing only raid instances. How ?

    2nd server will gona have exactly the same mangosd installed as fisrt one, when 1st one updates, 2nd updates too. He needs also have a access to characters and realm database. 1st server will be wiped out of raid instances and blocked from the inside of enternace (so when players enters the instance they canot move anywhere) becouse if they can, they can use it to exploit and skip a lot of bosses. So they will be forced to change realm to realm of 2nd server aka "raid instances server" So who ever is inside instance can see spawned npcs.... It is quite recomenede to wipe outside world, and block as much innkeeper and places as could be, so they cannot expolit it. Party will not gonna survive throught relog, so only raid instance can be (from instances)

    By this method you can offload raid instances , outland , northrend , kalimdor , kingdom. I know its not a perfect, its a very brute method. But its only one that can be done right away by simple mortal who is reaching limit 2k - 3k+ luzers online.

    Yeah, and btw , spare me coments like "it's a dumb idea" I know that it is.

    Answer to 2# post

    This has nothing to do with architecture. You absolutly do not know what I was writing about. I'm talking about 2 independent servers running their mangos daemons, they have just common database for characters and realm. And at some point, player will just do log off, change realm to another, and he can continue. Why? I have that described up in article. I'm not asking for anyting, I'm just telling how it can be done without coding a single line.

    Answer to 3# post

    Yes I know that I will need 2 of them, that's the point of offloading and I already mentioned it in topic title and in post, but thank you for pointing the obvious. And you will not have a serious problem in char DB, becouse it's not possible to log twice on same account. Servers will be on lan (that's obvious). So I don't see how it will be possible to have a problem with characters database. We are only duplicationg mangos databse on our 2nd server.

    Answer to 4# post

    We all know that offloading is not a new idea, we are not discussing offloading by it self but how it's done is new. And you are wrong, I did not find any post how to offload by my way. Every post about offloading is about coding and so on. And you are wrong if you are talking about this exactly method. Blizz is offloading interactive their server. Not "blocking" users and forcing them to relog to a new realm.I'm writing about manual offload. Thx for posting.

    Answer to 5# post

    Ok , again, try this time to actually read, what i wrote and this time, understand. Clustering is totaly different and on much higher level ,what I'm talking about here. You want to offload your way ? Ok, why not, do it, go code.... If'm going to offload, I'm going to do it my way ,without a single line of code to add. Just read the proposal. You are talking about totaly different thing, but basicly the same. I'll try to explain it to you what I mean by some sort of lower level understandable to you. Player log in to server1 (physical server numero uno) which is running mangos numero uno too. He plays , do stuff, and than want to go to raid instance with friends. So they form a raid, enter instance, but hey, instance is wiped out, and they cannot move anywhere. So they log off from this server, in they client they choose option "change realm" and they log to our raid instance server (which is server numero duo , with running mangos numero duo). They share the same characters \\ realm database. But have different mangos databases (which needs to be at the same point). So we just offloaded players from our 1st server to our 2nd server. Now try to explain to me, at which point you need to add some sort of code, becouse from my point of view, you totaly do not get the idea.

    Proved by "live" server , thx to post 7#. No need to let it open anymore. I also tested it by abou 5 people with no problems, so i needed a bigger proof of concept.

    Out of date:

    Go on people. Anybody want to prove that I'm mistaken or that it's a bad idea.

  25. [dev][animation] Character hover

    in OldGeneral discussion

    Posted

    I was just wondering why there is still no right anim for hover - run , cast, emotes....

    Basicly from my point of view, it should gonna be simple, character is divided into 2 major parts, belt_up (chest,head,arms...), belt_down (legs). For hover to work properli on characters, we just need to make that if under hover effect, than do not move with belt_down part and there should be exception for walk / run anim , it should use "stand" animation of hover.

    I m no coder, but my bro is, so i m gonna ask him if he could look into it, but he always does not have time : (. And by the way, any comments will be appreciated.
