Alright. Thank you for the links.

However I'm still lost

The things I gleaned from those links are: Creating a repo, creating a branch. And... that's about it. I'm really confused about the rest : /

Okay, I'm really confused at this point (No Git experience)

Say for example I have a fresh core downloaded via Git. Fully compiled and everything

How exactly would I go about making it so that when I change something in the core, it will make a patch so that when I need to update my core, I can reapply all the patch files from changes I have made. Step-By-Step for a complete noob please. Exactly what I need to do and exactly what I need to type in.

Sorry for being such a pain and I really appreciate all the help guys.

Alright, compiling a new core() and then I'll test this out and let you know

Nice!

I've actually been looking for something similar to this

Would be pretty awesome if I could figure out how to use it lol...

Man, I really must be the biggest nub on these forums

Ah, I see.

What a pain lol

Alright, sorry for being such a noob, this is my first experience with MaNGOS and everything is very new to me.

How would I go about creating a patch? lol...

I've looked over this -> http://getmangos.eu/wiki/Patch_Submission_Guidelines

But, that's not exactly what I want. Isn't there a way to create a patch without having to create a new branch and all that jazz?

Apologies and thank you again

You can't. The only thing updated is the source. To run source you have to compile it. Ergo, to update your server you must first update your source, then compile it and then copy the new core to your server.

Of course, alternatively you can use binary server packs, there's a few repo's around for those. Use at your own risk though.

But I have made custom core modifications to my server core

Alright so, before you get upset and tell me to look in the Installation, upgrades forum, let me explain my problem.

I know how to do an update(thanks to the stickied thread in the aforementioned forum) but my problem is that I can't.

When I compiled my server, I compiled it on my local machine and then uploaded it to another computer for use.

On that other computer, when I right click on my server folder and do "Git GUI Here" it brings up the first git box with the repo options (Create New Repo, Clone Existing, etc...)

So, how can I update the server without having to compile a new core?

Thank you ahead of time

-------------------------

Another issue I could use some help with...

How can I switch/combine db's?

I'm currently using UDB. I would like to combine it with YTDB but have no clue how to go about doing this.

Thanks again ahead of time

you can pretty much figure it out from file names example SpellAuras.cpp is in relation with auras, SpellEffects.cpp is where spell effects are implemented.

Yes, I have done some more exploring and have managed for fix a few bugs now. Thank you ^^

Ah, alright. For example of one of my Spell bugs...

Penance -

This spell is working, but you need to have a specific target,

even if you enable "auto selfcast" you still need to target yourself.

If not, the spell will just be casted straight in the air... (won't heal anyone)

A couple item examples...

Althor's Abacus (HEROIC & NORMAL) -

"Equip: Each time your spells heal a target you

have a chance to cause another nearby friendly

target to be instantly healed for 6280 to 7298."

This effect is bugged, its not healing ONE

nearby friendly target, its healing EVERY

nearby friendly targets/players/npcs.

Priest t10 (Sancitified) itemset bonus -

"Your flash heal has a 33% chanse to cause

the target to heal for 33% of the healed amount

over 9 sec"¨

This effect is not applying on a/the target.

NPC bug...

Horace Hunderland <Plate Armor Merchant> and

Dubin Clay <Plate Armor Merchant> -

In Dalaran, they are not selling gear for "Emblem of Triumph"

Can't even talk to them

(same with many other Emblem of Triumph sellers)

Emblem of Frost Quartermaster is not selling gear for the frost emblems

Nor are the vendors in ICC (supposed to sell the minor t10 set for frost emblems.

-------

Apologies for not being more specific before. I hope this will help my cause ^^

I don't need to know exactly how to fix these bugs(unless you really want to lol) I just need to know the general file(s) to look for them in.

Once again, any help is much, much appreciated.

^ The topic is my question ^^

I already know of Spell.cpp, but what other files contain pertinent info for fixing spell/talent bugs?

Thanks ahead of time

Edit:

Also, what files would contain pertinent info for fixing item/item effects and NPC bugs?

Sorry, very new to the core. Any help is much, much appreciated.

Nice FAQ

Although, I think that something you should add to the very top is "Check your logs"

I am very new to MaNGOS and the logs have helped me more times than I can count ^^
