Ok this release is similiar to the last except for a few things.

I have included 2 worlds, one is a FunServer that I have manipulated and will continue to manipulate. The other is a pure Blizzlike server that besides the errors and updates has been untouched by me.

I have taken out those nasty podiums, and invisible pc-collision on both worlds.

To get a full review of what the download includes please (because I can't do it w/ grace on this forum) come check out my forum for the new files and information, guide. Thanks.

I had some updates occur that I didn't realize at the last minute. Since it was a YTDB update 7379, make sure you got my latest revision which is PryDevServerRev3. I updated the link under my forum and my pleasure.

Yea the blizzlike server is plain but it's pure, great beginning funserver for someone who has the time to mess around

Pryd,

Hey, I was wondering if you were planning on adding an AHbot to your packs anytime soon. And also, I was also wondering if you know the process of backing up a character from the DB to be restored after installing future repacks.

Thanks.

Same thing with the Pryd forum, registered but no email.

Anyway, first time ever trying to setup a server. I play on a private 2.4.3 server with some other folks but they were not going to move to WOTLK for awhile. So I googled and found this site.

Had an extra laptop sitting here so I figured I'd put it to use. Used the WOTLK 3.0.9 Client 9551 Mangos 7394 on Pryd's site that he posted and followed the directions. Started last night and finished this afternoon. Everything seems to have completed without a hitch. I'm using the BlizzLike server.

The only strange thing I've seen is that when I'm at the create character screen I can't select either the Blood Elf or Draenei. Says I need The Burning Crusade. Which is odd since I had to have that installed before I could install WOTLK.

When I did the machine (Vista32 Ult) I installed WOW (no updates done), BC (no updates done), WOTLK (allowed to do all updates).

Anyone know how to get those two available?

@CptKirt

go into your realmd => account and change the "expansion" to 1 (its set to 0 as default)

0 = Basic Wow
1 = TBC
2 = WOTLK

Hope that helps.

also I love questing - so im gonna level all the classes to 20 (since I have the 2 top guides and they blend at level 20+) and I'll post any fixes I find.
and the first one is
Bear Basted Boar Ribs (http://thottbot.com/q384)
Ragnar does not give out the quest - One reason among others, skill level was 185! so put that to zero, there were a couple other varibles that were off. This might be because he is assosciated with a level 55 quest as well, so here is the sql patch
http://frostbytewow.com/files/sql_databases/quest_fixes/

Frostmane hold is a little weird - You cannot explore to complete the quest, you just have to kill all the dudes, then the quest will complete.

"SLEEPING DRUID" Just follow HIM. he doesn't follow you. Easy.

"Absent minded Prospector" Just accept, and sit - maybe work on your first aid, or other crafts He does not get attacked. So just wait for him to return. (note this was in Pryd's prior release, so not sure if its still applies)

have fun

@ CptKirk

Using your mangos.exe command window type in

account set addon (your account name here) 2

That is telling it to allow your account to use both the expansions.

You could also do this using a DB editor such as SQLyog or Navicat Lite.

How do you patch using these files?

Run a SQL Query on your Mangos Dbase - paste them (one at a time) into the query window and hit go (if using phpmyadmin) not sure if you use Navicat but should be similar.

Backup your databases before trying it if uncertain ... or be prepared to start over

The problem with us fixing that issue locally is that if the YTDB guys don't fix it on their end, you will need to redo it everytime Pryd updates the mangos database since we all just do a complete reimport of the mangos database.

Anyone know the YTDB website? A bug report would probably get it fixed permanent like.

@GRIMSLARCAT
I use Navicat (lite). just click on right mangos (db) and "execute batchfile" find the sql you want to update and hit start. It will auto update it for you . then do a "reload quest_template" and your set. You may, if you haven't already, have to log out then back in again for it to take affect.

@sydeburns
I agree. need a way to let the boys know the bugs and turn in a fixed one as well so that its permanent. But until that time, I'll just make a single sql file, adding to it as I mosey along. Its a small step.

I fixed the forum registration at http://prydevserver.dyndns.org/forum/ so that you can log in after creating an account. I didn't realize there was an issue with that, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

@ Unknown,

I believe the load time has to do with cpu speed, memory, HD speed, system op, etc. My setup takes about 1 min to load.

Pryds CPU
Intel 2.13 duo core
3 x 2GB 240-pin PC2-5300 DDR2-667
Asus Commando MB
2 500gig 16 meg buffer HDs.

If I wasn't spending all my cash on living and going to school I would so upgrade. I wonder what everyone else is using? Also thanks for those quest fixes I will implement that in and I have added links to YTDB in my guide.. but I tried to register there.. needless to say I couldn't pass their test.. Good as I am with translating Russian and messing with databases I couldn't understand what the right answers were... sigh. NE How check my forum the link is there.

@ Mookachooka,

Thanks

I will make sure to delete those out for the next repack. And also.. this has been on my mind.. I can't for the life of me get the new northrend battlegrounds working. If anyone can make or find this fix.. what a monumental thing that would be. I believe the issue is battlemaster_entry does not contain the right information for the new bgs.. but in battleground_template the new bgs look to be there.. 8-12.

I downloaded NCDB database rev 49. It supposedly has some updates that Mangos may be lacking. Going to dive in there and see if I can't find nething useful.

I've tried with two of your servers, and I cant get vmaps to work... clicks vmaps_simple thing then I get a message:

"Could not open data directory for reading. Aborting."

@vikke

dumb question(but have to ask) is your ad.exe and other map.exe stuff in your wow dir?
If you are still stumped i compress my maps, dbc, buildings and vmaps for my son who was having a similar problem. AFter he downloaded he found the prob (the directory had a bad name or something)

You can get them here http://frostbytewow.com/files/maps_buildings_vmaps_dbc.7z
Its HUGHE 859meg works with v3.0.9 (9551)

anyone else is welcome to it as well (might be faster than compiling it lol)

take care

@all

sorry had to rename and move that - did not know that it was not legal to move the vmaps. Not that I care - (I lost my blizz account under false pretenses after 4yrs of paying, so I could care less) But I don't want Pryde to get in trouble linking to it.

Hi there!

Finding this release very good, stable and haven't run into any serious bugs yet. Just one quick question, is anyone else experiencing problems with Warlock pets not learning new abilities and not ranking up in the ones that they start with? If so is there a fix out for this?

Thanks.

Hmmm, for forum registration on your server. As I mentioned above I tried previously but didn't get the email. If I try again now it says the username and email is already registered. If I try to login I can't (no email with password sent). If I click on the 'forgot password' link it says that user/email has not been activated. Seem to be stuck.

Is there a detailed step-by-step How-To on going about updating the server from one release to the next?

I just finished doing a first time install of "PryDevServer Wotlk 3.0.9 Mangos 7387" this morning. By this evening I see that you've already got 7401 available.

I did some searches here for 'upgrade' and 'update' but nothing really found.

I was looking at the MaNGOS Resourse website and it look like they put out fixes non-stop. So doing a safe and easy update sound like it will be necessary.

Thanks.

The easiest way to update my packs without losing character, realmd, scriptdev information would be just to drop your Mangos database and re-import the latest mangos database. The copy over the new core files minus the config files.

That way you get the fixes to the dbc and the core updated so you are completely up to date at that point.

With my forum if you created a username / password before 3/7/09 and cannot log in please recreate that your user / pass. I took out the email verification for now.

Thanks for the info on the update. I'll try to document each step of the way and if it turns out ok I'll post them.

For your forum I'd like to use the username and email I tried before 3/7/09, but when I do that I get:

The username you entered is already in use, please select an alternative.
The entered e-mail address is already in use.
