WoW moding question

[colorpilot]

I could do with some help regarding Ascent I cant seam to get a server running properly I have spent three days reading several different posts and have downloaded about 1.5Gb worth of stuff to get a server up and running. I have tried compiling Ascent myself and adding the NCDB database with Navicat but my Ascent.exe crashes when I try and run it doesn’t display an error on the console.
I then tried a repack(Panex 5.3) with Ascent the database the lot so I dint actually need to do anything I managed to get as far as making a character but when I try and log in the world the game crashes.
I also tried a compiled Ascent and added the necessary database files but the when I try and log in though the login screen for wow it seas that I got the login wrong (added user to database user table and it was the right name and password)

Things I tried to get it working
·Recompiled
·Re downloaded then compiled
·Tried different version
·Checked I had the necessary files (patches for visual studio 2005 ) still might be missing required files to compile correctly but don’t think I am
·Read lots of threads to try and sort the problem
·Deleted database and imported it again as well as re downloading it

I have basically run out of ideas as to how to get an Ascent server up I do not wish to try and get it public just need it to try some model editing stuff and Gm stuff.
Will post screenshots of problems when I get home.


other question.

i haven't got much experience when it comes to doing anything to wow(model editing or coding anything) but i want to learn and was wondering if it is possible to make it so that instead of using the traditional control e.g. click spam numbers :P if you would change it so its like a first person shoot were you are required to aim and lock on to a target before u start shooting

i am assuming this would be done buy locking the courser to the middle of the game screen but i wouldn’t know how to make it so there is a certain time before it locks on and if the player stops aiming at the person for a certain period of the that he has to aim at the person again . Hope this makes some sense :P .

For the first one : I have no idea.
Second one : I think that isn't possible.

Delete the die directories in ascent.conf

Delete the die directories in ascent.conf

do you mean this in the ascent.conf ?

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "devourer" Name = "world" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "devourer" Name = "accounts" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

if so then i have already done so ><. but atm i have the server runing to the poing were i can log in to wow make a charickter then when it is loadin in to the game it crashes.

here are the picks of the problem and my ascent folder.

Emeriss84 thanks.
i managed to sort it had something to do with the fact i was not using the latest patch out atm for wow even though the sever specifies u can have a lower version with in a certain range. stooped mistake problem i know but i ges its that easy to make a mistake.

any one able to answer my second question?

[EcHoEs]

See my upper post ^^
I think it isn't possible.

To tell you the truth , im not really that sure about your second question.

Im pretty sure it isnt possible like Emeriss84 said , but if it was possible then it would be trials and errors till it gets working + some c++ skill on this.
