- MaNGOS ~Amber~ Releases 3.x.x

[shivajiva101]

I've added...
v10199 for Client v 3.3.5a (12340)

+ YTDB 0.13.5 R556 @ rev 10199
+ MaNGOS Core v0.17.0 rev 10199
+ ScriptDev2 rev 1741
+ Acid rev 3.0.4
+ MWFE Website rev 1039
+ miniManager for 0.14.0 [492]
+ AuctionHouseBot
+ Jail patch

...to the first post. 9862-10199_update will follow shortly. Suffice to say the removal of the data blob from the chars db has put the cat amongst the pidgeon's plus the shift to 3.3.5a broke most patches...no excuses tho
Needless to say I've been tinkering with the gui code...

Hello,
I appreciate verry much your work and i have some questions about this new release.
I saw that u changed to YTDB now. Is this compatible with previous releases with UDB? I mean that i can use the saves from previous releases with this one? I can insatll this one and then use old backups?

Thanks a lot!

[shivajiva101]

I've gone with YTDB because it's an active project with timely updates allowing a more pro-active release program with db content changes as well as core fixes makes the task more worthwhile.

Backups from previous chars,realmd and scriptdev can be imported BUT require the core updates applying from the backup version to the new version. You will find the core sql updates in the sql\updates folder.

You could just wait for the update release and have it all done for you...

Well I have to say this new version is the first repack I have ever seen that has the Draenei starter quests working properly!

So if this is caused by the switch to YTDB then I'm all for it. Well impressed and looking forward to continued development of Amber!

[shivajiva101]

Hehe YTDB content is way ahead with ~20Mb more data its close to 25% more than UDB which appears to have steadily declined since the Trinity fork which is now so far apart from mangos that it's support has been dropped from miniManager. It's so refreshing to have actively developed data content and imo our russian friends contribute more than their fair share to the opensource community.

[nighthawk1000]

I was considering switching to ytdb for some time now.
Now that you are using it for your great repack I will give it a try ;)
Although I hate switching from something I know udb to something unknown ytdb but if it's better ;)

BTW how is the update coming I finshed extracting the maps I am just waiting for the update vers.
Saves alot of problems updating the character & realm files ;)
Ok I see it on filebeam great ;)

[shivajiva101]

Hmm as a developer the first priority is to make sure your not repeating someone elses work so with that in mind I would use UDB as a starting point for adding to and corrections of the existing dataset...purely a logical step in aquiring the best validated set of data...so that has me wondering where they started from... turns out it's down in the svn log as mangos by kapatejib whom I know from posts on my topics over the years. I remember he was spurned by the devs for producing better script and db content whilst having newbie status unless I've got my synapses crossed. Meh I had pre-release access to his stuff at that time with a view to using it in the repaq but our babygirl came along and the rest is history as they say. Still I'm convinced the basis would have been UDB...

Haha just shows if ya have a talent and persistance you can go a long way...well done

Oh yea I updated the first post with 9862-10199 update release. Hope it meets your expectations, enjoy!

[nighthawk1000]

update worked great !
Thanks alot for the great work!
Worth the wait was wondering for awhile if you gave up on the project ;)

YTDB looks good so far even has dual spec now if I can get 1000gp to try it out ;)

[scabbed angel]

As always, very very appreciated.

Thanks again, Shiva

Can you please make a update from ... to ...:

YTDB 0.13.5 R556 ----> YTDB 0.13.5 R557
MaNGOS Core v0.17.0 rev 10199 ----> rev 10244
ScriptDev2 rev 1741 ----> rev 1749

[shivajiva101]

Worth the wait was wondering for awhile if you gave up on the project ;)

If I gave up on this project there would be a large font post to make sure everybody understood. Responsibilities just stop me spending as much time on this as I have in the past...

@michi616 - did you read the first post? This works at my pace, not yours...

[bored292]

This works at my pace, not yours...

amen to that

good to see you finally made the switch from udb :)

tested latest pack works on win 2008 r2 ent x64 & win 7 ult x64


later

It would be most appreciated if you could offer a bot optional patch.

It would be most appreciated if you could offer a bot optional patch.

[shivajiva101]

As Akreao point's out the bot is hosted by Blueboy on his git repo, my issue with patches is the lack of support they often suffer from over time and more importantly the impact on the core stability when using patches so inclusion in my repaq requires my trusting in the code to not impact the core and the possibility I will have to get my hands dirty at some point fixing the structure changes as the core code matures and the patch developer dissapears to get on with real life e.g. exams as I hate dropping patches I perceive as essential to successfully running a small private server. Whilst the bot has plenty of plus points I'm concerned about the inevitable lag issue when a client is used on the server machine with the expectation it will function ok. Perhaps I need educating as to why this is 'essential' to the repaq as I'm always willing to learn something new...

I am having a problem with the AHBot. I have followed all the instructions on here and i can not get any items to show up in the AH... can some one help me please

Try the Search Function....
Step 1.) Create an account then on that account create a character that you are going to use as the auction house bot. Call this character ahbot or something like seller so you know what it is when you look it up in the db.This character will be the auction's owner for all the items created by the bot.
Step 2.) Log in with this character and then log out.
Step 3.) Now edit mangosd.conf

These are the settings in the conf file you need to find:
AuctionHouseBot.EnableSeller = 0
AuctionHouseBot.EnableBuyer = 0
AuctionHouseBot.Account = 0
AuctionHouseBot.GUID = 0

Change them to this:
AuctionHouseBot.EnableSeller = 1
AuctionHouseBot.EnableBuyer = 1

Now click on ambergui and then mysql then characters then characters again and find the toon you made for AH duty...
note the guid and account numbers...go back into your mangosd.conf and enter the info for that toon...

AuctionHouseBot.Account = info
AuctionHouseBot.GUID = info

After that go back into your db and click characters then click Auctionhousebot in the minitems boxes put 50 in all 3 spots and in the maxitems put 200 in all 3 spots this seems to work fine.
save and restart your realms ...Thats it!

SD2 R1741 cool

I have been poring over this thread and others for a few days now getting my 3.3.2 up and running smoothly. This is the first time I have attempted anything of this sort so it took me a bit.

@shivajiva101: Incredible work, everything installed great and it runs extremely well. Many of the small issues I ran into were solved by your documentation once I noticed several of the RTFM posts and did so. Thank you for taking the time to not only do the work but also do the updates/fixes and respond to questions.

@kubilius: I want to thank you specifically as well for the many helpful posts in general and the AHbot ones in particular.

@everyone else: Thank you folks with issues as many of them were similar to the ones I was creating myself. Thank you folks who answer questions over and over so I could eventually find out what I did wrong.

I am running this on the following PC:
Windows XP Pro 64bit
AMD PhenomII 3Ghz quad
8Gb RAM
4Tb HDD (multiple drives)

I mention the specs because with it running the server, 2 realms, and 2 clients on it locally it is only using 2% CPU capacity (including all my background stuff). This is nicely low resource coding. Thank you for that.

All I have left to do is get the LAN clients able to log on and play. I think the issue with that is version mismatch as they are all running 3.3.5. I am switching one to 3.3.2 today to find out.

Thank you to everyone again for your various contributions to my family having a blast on our own realms.
