Orb of Translocation

[LordPsyan]

I usually don't post, but I have run into a major problem I can't figure out. Oh, and props to Julian_X.

I use Julian_X repack. it runs great, no problems, cept I had to fix almost every monster in the database, because many of the drops were set to 0.001% when they were supposed to be much higher.

No big deal. was fun messing with the DB. (if anyone needs the mob drop fix, I can post it. its big.)

Now for my problem. None of my orbs work. Shows just a lame cloudy skyline, and back to where I started. I have searched everywhere, and so far only found how to .recall port undercity, an other places. Those work fine. but I do not want to give all my users gm capabilities, so I need to fix the translocation devices. any ideas?


1 last question. while fixing the creatureloot table, I noticed many "creatures" that do not really drop anything, and should be in vendors. do they also need to be listed in creatureloot? or can they be removed, to make the table smaller? not really an important question. it doesn't seem to affect performance.

Thanks.

That's strange! The Orbs should work in TNPS DB rev 7...

it is basically the only glitch I have encountered. I remember when I first got the server running, I went into a tower, and there was a big white ball. I clicked it, and it showed a "movie" going from 1 tower to another (forget the name of the first, but the second was out near sentinel hill). it didn't transport me. I was still in the same tower in stormwind area.

This is bugging me. I want to finish the undercity quest. Plaguelands kicks my behind every time I enter it. maybe I should edit my character to be more powerful, but currently im just testing everything. bloodelf seems to have the most problems, but I haven't really tested all of them yet.

oh, and while im blabbing... one of the very first quests... give a letter to your trainer... it doesn't work for any race.

ok im done blabbing. any help would be appreciated.

1000000000 % Agreed!

Well a quick solution would be to summon some portals in place of the "out-of-order" orbs so ppl can at least teleport. Search the forum on how to make custom portals; it's quite easy. If you want to fix orbs though i'd suggest you compiled the server from scratch.

can anyone tell me what file\table I need to deal with for the orbs?

 

[rallisf1]

orbs are registered as game-objects. go near one ingame and do .gobject select and then .gobject info . search your gameobject_names table for the id you found and then go through your .dbc files by displayid; if you're lucky you gonna find something, else they are implemented in the server core, meaning you need the svn of the antrix files plus a C++ editor/compiler with svn support and some basic (at least) knowledge on C++ programming...and good luck

winrar. That is the program I shall start with. Rar my entire folder, the entire database. and do a nice database backup too.

Maybe I will get lucky. I did a database search on the orbs, found 8 or so of them. thanks for the .gobject commands. that will come in handy. any suggestions on a good C++ compiler?
