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

[Aldebaraan]

Update for individual progression is out. Racial trait Swap not missing this time.

[Aldebaraan]

Yes, for me anyway, now for some reason they just want to have a pool party lol

Report either to the playerbot discord or github. Do not mention use of a repack.

[Aldebaraan]

I'm really grateful for this repack, it's because of you I even got as far as id did in regards to having my own server, which would never have happened without you. Thank You!

Glad you got it working on your end!

The download link is full of ads and the update file cannot be downloaded at all

It can, but it does suck. The opening post in this thread has a video link at the bottom of the post that shows you what you need to click to eventually navigate to the download itself. I ended up needing to install Firefox to do it, though, because my Vivaldi browser kept triggering adblock detection and blocking the download link at the end. So it can be done and it takes maybe a minute, but it's annoying.

Also, I won't lie, I'm very lost about what I'm intended to do to use the Ollama chat module. The Github page shows a number of dependencies, but not how to use them or how much is already handled by the repack. This is so not my area of expertise, haha. If anyone has an idea of how to go about things, that'd be appreciated.

Thanks again for the update! I'm having a blast trying to get a decent LLM model to run and tweaking the settings. Did you manage to put the personality packs before compiling btw? I'm not sure if they are getting assigned in the database. I was checking with HeidiSQL but saw nothing. I would probably to regenerate the bots for them to get assigned maybe?

Also I wanted to share with everyone a free tool that can help with the config files. Maybe there's a better way but I keep my old configs and then use it to compare the old vs new config files. Only the changed values and lines are highlighted so I can easily revert any changes and see what else new is added in the options. Said tool is WinMerge (but there are many others)

@Archas
It's very simple! You don;t need to read the repository just follow these few steps.
1. Download Ollama for windows and install it.
2. In the ollama app settings make sure you check the option - Expose Ollama to the network

Then it's time to get your first model! Depending on your hardware you would want something appropriate. The default one is small and very fast and should run on anything.

(from the default config file)
# OllamaChat.Model
# Description: The model identifier to be used in the Ollama API request.
# Default: llama3.2:1b
OllamaChat.Model = llama3.2:1b

I think that model is already preloaded with Ollama but if not open CMD (command prompt) and type
Ollama list - that shows the current models

If you don't see the model llama3.2:1b, then type "ollama pull llama3.2:1b"
- This will begin the download of the model.

When it's all done just launch the server and have fun. Of course for a deeper dive you should read the config thoroughly and you can even get some other models if your PC is powerful enough. Easy starting point would be to tell ChatGPT your hardware specs and ask for a model that would run with no issues alongside Azerothcore and game client.

Experiment away!

Thank you for the clear and concise instructions! Appreciated.

Which directory do personality packs go in? Can they be freely edited to, say, give certain bots specific (or new) personalities?

Np! Hope you can get it working. Btw I missed this detail too:
It's advised to turn off the normal Player Bots chat in your playerbots.conf by setting AiPlayerbot.EnableBroadcasts = 0

As for the Personality packs:
I think (not 100% sure) that they must be put in the right folder before compiling the addon. The github repo says:
Place the .sql file in modules/mod-ollama-chat/data/sql/characters/updates/

I don't know if you can add them after compiling? If so I'm not sure how, but opening the myslq database with HeidiSQL, I did see 30 of them. I just didn't see any bots assigned with personalities, so I assumed they need to be regenerated? But again this is pure speculation on my part and I hope someone who knows better can advise.

Cheers!

I have been loving the repack so far, but I am having a problem that I can't seem to solve. Server will work fine, but then sometimes it says it cannot find path to MySQL after running the startserver.bat. Gives me this error window:

I just tried a fresh install on a reset computer and still same error. Any guidance? Thanks in advance!

bizarre , you have installed a antivirus or something like that?

excelent , i have tested and that work very well in party ,guild or private message but it's normal like nobody chat in the genral chat ? with random message just for simulate as with real people?

Just windows defender. What's really weird is that it will work for a while, then one day just start doing this. I've tried installing my own mysql 8.4 and adjusting file paths in conf to no avail

This is a portable version of MySql there's no need to install your own version system wide or anything like that. Try running MySQL.bat from the folder instead of the Start Server bat and check what the log says there.

@spynix34, yeah it's not ideal. They do talk about random stuff from time to time but it's repetitive.

Sorry again, but I just retested the non-Individual progression version again just to be sure it's not something I did, and found Race Trait Swap missing from it, also.
