Azerothcore WoTLK Repack (Playerbots + Individual Progression + 32 other modules)

What is everyone doing in terms of backup power for their server? Should we be using a dedicated UPS? Or is sudden loss of power not anything to be concerned about?

Using a UPS on our dedicated 24/7/365 LAN server hosting this repack. A UPS is highly advisable for any application where you have the potential for data loss or database corruption due to power loss.

First and foremost, thank you for this great repack - it's allowed me to get a realm up and running very quickly, and it's hugely appreciated!

I have found a couple of issues that I hope folks here might be able to point a newbie like myself toward a solution on please:

(1) My realm time seems to be advancing 1 minute for around every 4 seconds of real world time. Additionally, the server date is 11 days behind reality. Whilst this tends not to be a problem for normal play, it does affect fishing and the type of fish one can catch, as well as in-game holiday events. Would someone have a fix for this please?

EDIT: Never mind the above question - I will leave it here in case this helps others, but I finally realised there is a mod running called TimeIsTime, and disabling that has solved this issue.

(2) On a very minor note, the loot window virtually doesn't appear when looking a chest or corpse. I have ensured that AoE loot mod is turned off. I have Auto Loot turned on in the game Interface options. Is there a setting somewhere to slow the loot process/window down please?

Many thanks to any thoughts on the above, truly appreciated!

Hello, I have downloaded this repack perhaps 1 year ago for myself and a few friends (not a public server). It worked back then but suddenly it started giving me errors.
The problem comes from the MySQL app, no matter if I download it all over again or use it on another PC from the same network, I tried installing MySQL from the MySQL from the website but it seems to give me an error during the installation.
It's about "Failed to initialize DD Storage Engine" and "Data Dictionary initialization failed", how can I fix this? My guess would be that perhaps the server didn't closed successfully at some point and now it's stuck there, I may be wrong though but does anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks!


Edit: It seems to work whenever I use a clean install, but when I try to move the folders "acore_auth" and "acore_characters" from the previous version, it breaks the game, how can I use my savegames again without MySQL crashing everytime because of it?

Moving the folder will not work because it's a different database modified by updates over time. You can try using my powershell scripts ((AzerothCore) Powershell scripts for character and guild export/import) to transfer your characters to the new database.

I encountered issues in merging the latest commits into the playerbot branch. I will try posting the update tomorrow.

There has been several commits to the AOE Loot module. I will try posting the update tomorrow. Maybe it will fix your issue.

Thank you sir, but I fear I may not have been clear - I have AoE Loot disabled, so I imagined that would negate any effects from this module?

This is just what happens if Auto Loot is turned on in the game interface. Turn it off to slow the loot process down.

Also, another issue: while trying to troubleshoot why defeating C'thun did not start the Naxxramas progression tier, I went through the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands, expecting to not go through. To my surprise, I did go through, and somehow skipped Naxxramas' tier entirely. Now I'm gaining experience and my current gear is massively nerfing me as though TBC had actually begun, and I don't know how to change it back. I think I can simulate reverting this by talking to the experience gain locker in Stormwind and changing the Individual Progression config to prevent pre-TBC raid items from nerfing me, but I still run into the problem of not knowing how to start Naxxramas stuff (the Light's Hope Chapel NPCs aren't spawning in, for instance). My character's tier is currently at 6, but I changed it to 7 and that didn't do anything.

Hello, thank you.

Could you explain in details please?
I have Powershell that comes with Windows, is it enough or do I have to download the seventh one?
Where do I add "Install-Module -Name SimplySql, PSSQLite -Force"? I tried to add it into the Powershell command it didn't work.
Then what will I do? Do I add my savegames into the folder and it will take care of it?

Thanks.

Update posted. Some improvements to playerbot performance which is nice.
Tomorrow i post the one for individual progression.

I just tested it using latest update and was able to accept quests from Light Hope's NPCs. But it seems to be bugged: i was not at the progression level required for that.
Tomorrow i will be updating the individual progression repack, so wait until them.
