[Guide] How to compile TrinityCore, Start to Finish

[myran2]

Like I said in your PM, trinity is restructuring their core ATM, you can wait it out or do a checkout of revision 556e3ed496.

I don't know many of the default ones anymore, my command system is modified a lot.

.gm visible off makes you invisible though :P
.explorecheat opens all maps
.taxicheat opens all flightpaths

pretty much all I know
My commands are like ascent :P

O.K., thanks anyway

I did find a big list of commands last night, not everything I wanted but still has a lot more than the in-game list
I do wish TC had the commands like ascent does, they just make a lot more sense to me, very straight forward...oh well

[myran2]

Maybe I'll write a guide on how to rename/change commands some time.

When i go to execute one of the files for the world it runs likeee... 126 items and then it stops. the timer keeps going but it has nothing else to execute to. ive tried both of the databases and got the same thing. Any help would be awsome (ill rep if you help me fix it xD)

I get some errors :

8>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libmySQL.lib'
8>Build log was saved at "file:/***************
\VC90\trinityrealm__Win32_Release\BuildLog.htm"
8>TrinityRealm - 1 error(s), 10 warning(s)

9>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libmySQL.lib'
9>TrinityCore - 1 error(s), 10 warning(s)

Like I said, Trinity is restructuring their source.
Clone trinity to revision 556e3ed496(The rev right before they started restructuring)

Open up a command prompt.
(cmd.exe)

now type

mysql -u root -pPASSWORD -D world < WORLDSQL.sql

PASSWORD is your mysql password, WORLDSQL.sql is the full path to your world SQL file.

So I recently cloned the rep. because I am going to update to 3.3.3a soon....since they're restructuring, I'd like to figure out which rev I have. How exactly do I go about that? (it doesn't work like TortoiseSVN).

[myran2]

Well, you can tell if they started to restructure by looking in the src folder.
if you see "server" and "tools" then you need to downgrade to rev 556e3ed496

If you see
"game" and "realmd" then you're good to go

I got a problem with mySQL program you linked, i manage to folow up to half of it, but when i go on about
doing mySQL picture part, it doesnt have the password thingy, so my version somehow doesnt get last 2-3 Slides ( steps).
Any idea about that? So i could continue folowing the guide and see how it plays out;p

O.K., thanks, I do have to DL the other rev 'cause I do have those "server" & "tools" folders....

So there isn't a way to find the current rev # on what I've DL'd? I'd like to know how for future ref. if it's possible

Have you installed MySQL before?
Also, make sure that when you finished installing MySQL that you check the option to "Configure my MySQL server"

BUMP: This guide now shows you the correct way to compile AFTER trinitycore's restructuring changes.

[dekription]

I must say, That this guide has been the best one i have found so far!! It was simple graphical and most importantly worked like a charm. I do believe this is my first post in this community and I finally got time to sit down and tinker a little. Thanks Much for the powerful guide and I am Giving you Rep point

[myran2]

Thanks for both the complement and the rep
If you have any suggestions, I'm open to adding more to the guide.

great tutorial, and if anyone is having problems, use revision 556e3ed4965e when downloading your tinitycore, their repo is messed up right now and that is the latest working revision apparently

[Hurt]

Is there any problem with using Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010? Or should I only get 2008?

I've been messing with Arcemu but I think I'm going to scrap it and try this since this guide is detailed and up to date . I only want a server just for my own use for a machinima project. I've tried various online private servers but between servers constantly crashing, servers with 2 seconds of lag every 15 seconds, and servers with people who keep barging in to my instance, bothering me and ruining my fraps sessions, I've decided I need to run my own server.

Also is there any problem with running it on Windows 7-64bit? And finally, what kind of CPU/Ram is needed to run the server if its dedicated to that task and if my WoW sessions are on a different computer?

Thanks!
