[acent] Flying mounts in azeroth

[poemihai]

Well those should be available only to fewer players ..like vips or something like that ..or as a prize for some hard event or competition.. would be really nice .. i am working right now on this ..but i won't be finishing it today .. got to go to sleep :P

PS: I am planing a devastating come-back of my server ...i hope i'll make it :D

[Voltex]

well i think that would be possible to make it like a even "item" or something would be easyer to give player .cheat fly command:P

[haiato]

post a compile rev for ascent mount in azeroth please xD

tks

[Cypriz]

It is possiable, you need to make an item, that when equip, it mounts you up, It has been done on other servers.

[Undawned]

They don't lag your server, tho there is a bug in ascent where any flying mount freezes your game.

[Paco44]

It has the ability to lag your server if it isn't the best type of server out there (hosted on a dedicated), or with a mass amount of people at once.

[poemihai]

..back ..oh well i done everything it says it that tutorial but it didn't worked ..now i can't use flying mounts at all ..any ideeas why would that happen ?!

[pedwily]

.cheat fly

your cool...


no but really you have to modify the database to trick the game into thinking its a normal mount while you can summon it

[Sinister~]

Actually, the best idea.. if you plan to add this to your server. Is to do what we did, and make them rare items. Most the rumored bugs that come with flying mounts in Azeroth are, flying to high, and ending up in a different town or area. Flying over major mobs to get to larger loot mobs/bosses (useless on highrate servers, since all good loot is in outlands). Using them in instances... which can be worked around by making the item cast a normal mount spell. Lagging the server is not true, this mostly clientside, which does not work the server much harder at all, but could cause low end computer players to lag. Em, other than that, they are pretty cool. Just do everything Voltex said.

Also, for latest Ascent revisions, there was a couple changes to make it work right. Here's another guide, just for that.

You will have to modify the following files: Player.cpp, SpellAuras.cpp, MovementHandler.cpp & Unit.cpp

In Player.cpp you will need to search and replace 3 items

First search for:

!=530
and replace it with
>580

then search for:

!= 530
(yes, just add a space) and replace it with
> 580

All 3 will look something like

if(flying_aura && MapID > 580)


In SpellAuras.cpp you will need to search for
Aura::SpellAuraEnableFlight(bool apply)

Replace the "else" with "if(!apply)" which should look like this:

Code:
void Aura::SpellAuraEnableFlight(bool apply)
{
if(m_target->IsPlayer())
{
static_cast<Player*>(m_target)->FlyCheat = apply;
static_cast<Player*>(m_target)->flying_aura = m_spellProto->Id;
}

if(apply)
{
m_target->EnableFlight(true);
m_target->m_flyspeedModifier += mod->m_amount;
m_target->UpdateSpeed(true);
}
if (!apply) //replaced else with: if(!apply) to allow flying mounts in the old lands
{
m_target->DisableFlight(true);
m_target->m_flyspeedModifier -= mod->m_amount;
m_target->UpdateSpeed(true);
}
}

Now for the last. In Unit.cpp:

Find and replace:

if(m_mapId != 530)
with
if(m_mapId > 580)

Code:
if(m_mapId != 530) //<<--- Change this
{
for(uint32 i = 0; i < -1; ++i)
{
Can't use flying auras in non-outlands.
if(aur->GetSpellProto()->EffectApplyAuraName[i] == 208 || aur->GetSpellProto()->EffectApplyAuraName[i] == 207)
{
delete aur;
return;
}
}
}


Now build it and once it is finished create an item that will cast the mount you desire on equip. The current items will not work with this change (they still work in the Outlands as normal) so you will have to create some new items for it to work.

Such as:

INSERT INTO items VALUES (90001, 4, 0, -1, "Charm of the Phonix", "Charm of the Phonix", "Charm of the Phonix", "Charm of the Phonix", 43430, 3, 0, 0, 0, 12, -1, -1, 128, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 40192, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, "", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 225, 0);

If anyone is thinking about doing this... JUST DO IT! IT'S PURE AWESOMENESS!

[poemihai]

I released my ascent.exe to the comunity if anyonw wants it go to http://forum.ragezone.com/f114/relea...-moded-331579/

Just remember folks, the flying mount is only ONE mount, unless more are made. This doesn't make every flying mount there is available to use.
