Hello to all enthusiasts! The server boot failed, as you may have noticed. However, I was able to solve the problems with the errors in our database. However, there was another problem and it was missing some maps, probably it happened by restoring and moving folders where I remotely connected, sometimes it disconnected me and probably not all maps moved as they should and checks at server startup did not reveal anything until directly in the game after login. This will solve the new data export from client version 3.3.5a. While I was repairing and compiling the server into madness, I was doing other activities. For example, I also tried to respond directly to our support, but after a few tens of minutes I gave up, there were too many questions later and it started to limit me to repairs, so I checked out. I am glad that you are interested in the server, I am now putting all my free time into it, which I do not have planned for now, and I am trying to speed it up, and even your "voice" on the support of the past days forces me to work constantly on the launch, so you also contribute by showing interest and I know that I have to rush, of course, in terms of stability and functionality. I rushed to start last weekend, and how it turned out. In the meantime, I'm doing a huge merge from Trinity's side 2 The years came almost 11 000 commits and changes to code, which seems like an incredible number, because we have a lot of differences in code, mechanics (especially Wintergrasp is a nut that we have completely different), spells and some instances. I’m afraid to set a new server start date so you don’t think I’ll throw in a date, so let’s try to calculate it together:
What we are missing and how long it will take to start the server:
1) New extraction of maps, motion maps and other data from the client already with the new version of TrinityCore => 1 day + installation of WoW client version 3.3.5a krokem with this step I will write a new instructions for installing the client => 0.5 days, in total => 1.5 days
2) The connection of the current TC kernel and ours => 20 days => 18 days already working on it, before I even launched the web => within 2 days I think I will have it, just debug errors/errors actually
3) Cleaning database and configuration files => less than 1 day
4) Test of fixed crashes from the weekend, and whether it will run fine + clean compilation after my fixes => 4 hours
5) MySQL setup and DB optimization after hibernation čistá completely clean compilation and final server deployment and startup => 1.5 hours
In total, I get 1.5 + 2 + 1 days + 5.5 hours => 4.5 days and 5.5 hours from now (Tuesday 21. 2. 2017). It is a rough estimate and normally I add a day as a backup, but some things I can do at the same time with others and vice versa some I have to divide into more blocks, when one activity is done, I can continue with another etc. So the assumption is that in 4 days everything could run, which comes out on Saturday. But I will try sooner. If something changes from the plan, I will inform you here under this text. You asked me a lot about what is happening and when you can expect the start, so I write it here so that you have as much information as possible and what to count on in advance. As you can see, estimates are not an easy task in the case of such a complex project as our server. Thanks for your attention.
