Recaching System

[Terrorblade]

Hello everyone, Ever wish you didn't have to relog or delete cache when you change something in the database? Well now you don't have to if you apply this, it allows you to dynamically change items, creatures, gameobjects and peoples names just by doing a simple command. Within the week I shall have versions for mangos and trinity posted.
Special Note:
For ArcEmu it re-enables the reload commands.
For Trinity it adds the power to be able to reload gameobject_template and item_template enjoy!

ToDo:
Automatic Recache of any creatures, items or gameobjects changed in a reload.

I'm interested to know how this works, and the reloading was disabled for a reason.

Great work.

This looks really good.

Can't wait to see you develop this.

you do .server recacheitems (x value) (y value) and it recaches them so your players dont have to delete cache. We use it on our server and it's very nice..


Good release terror. Cant rep yet, but when I can!

EDIT: Also make it so you can .server reload x(table) again!

If you downloaded the arcemu version, redownload i didn't have all the commands pointing the the right thing :P
Also added Trinitycore

Will this double up your ram when you do that command i mean will there be a possiblity that the server will crash ?? if is hosted on a normal pc or so ??

It hasn't doubled up the ram once for me or crashed.

The reloading should have been disabled due to possible data corrupt you do not really need to reload items/creatures since they do not really change often, reloading itself it pretty meanless since restarting takes approximatley 10 seconds if you do not have a screen running while it does restart (running it in gnu screen will make each emu restart damn much faster)

Regular backups counters data corruption. Reloading takes less than a second, restarting tales ~15-20 seconds and having to log back in.

When your developing and regularly needing to reload tables to test whether things are correct or change values around to better balance it, reloading is the way to go.

*Fixed you're spelling mistakes.
Reloading is good when you want to make changes on the fly when you have players online, the reloading wasn't disabled because it corrupts data, it was disabled because it caused crashes related to scripts.

Unstable on my test arc server, tried it but I never managed / had time to fix the crashing issue.

It does it in a kinda wirerd process (for a human)
As i saw it awhile ago it did buffer in a few thousand items/whatever and then unload the others with same guid, so it should do it pretty smooth.... By the way you were they guy who "introduced" me into emulation (lul) with a 2.0.x repack you have made

Sorry, my spelling is really bad but does it matter, since you were able to "translate" it you understood exactly what i meant, and that is the point of communicating i suppose.
And if it once were disabled by the core team it should probably be disabled, and i think the instability is caused because the scripts are bound to entry's that is being unloaded improper and loaded in again improper aswell.

It was disabled because of threading issues, not because of scripts.

Your argument is wrong.
Threading issues are by definition non-deterministic, therefore it's extremely hard to reproduce them and they will seem to occur randomly.
Therefore your observation in a controlled environment doesn't prove that it is reliable at all.
