[ArcEmu] How to fix quests, NPC, & GO?

[Areius]

Has anyone written a guide on repairing quests, npc's or Game Objects needed for quests? If so, then within the 4 hours+ I have been searching for this information, I have not found it.
I have compiled my own server, which is Arcemu(R3029) with WhyDB(R94) on my WinXP Pro SP3 machine, and it works beautifully except for certain (types?) of quests. Example of issues I would love to learn to fix are: Mankirk's Wife in Mulgore (standing there alive and well, but does nothing for my quest advancement), Raptor Nests(Clicking on the feathers collected from raptors then on either the red, blue or yellow raptor nest uses the feathers, but again does nothing for quest advancement), and other quests where you are to "use" an item or npc/object for a quest typically do nothing at all.
If anyone has some knowledge on how I would go about learing to fix such issues to make my quests work properly, I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance!

P.S. What would I do to make certain objects in game Invisible to players, such as "Mulgore Trigger" and keep said objects from attacking players? :confused:

Most of those quests you will have to script yourself, using Lua or C++. Some quest issues like quests that are broken(Not able to hand in ect.) should be reported to your DB of choice's forums.

Ah ok, thank you for your reply. I had thought I needed to find out where in the DB these things are located and add them or edit the current info, after finding the numbers or flags from Wowhead.
I will look further into these things, and try to figure out .Lua so I may gain some confidence in repairing stuff, and hopefully find some info on the DB structure. As it is now, I look in there and wonder where each of these things are located!

post broken quests and i will fix them in lhdb

[Areius]

I would like to begin a new character to find the issues, but that will take me some time!

Thanks for the offer to help though. What is Ihdb though?

[92eatos]

LHDB is database for arcemu/shyemu it support patch 3.3 and patch 3.2.2a
For now it have added from patch 3.3 all new items...Soon i will spawn Icecrown citadel

[Areius]

Ah ok, nice. I will search around and see what I find about it.

[92eatos]

Nice since i need more bug trackers

[Areius]

Hey, I found your site, which looks nice, but doesn't have any information about obtaining the DB, or installation information as well.
It seems you work alone on this, correct? That is a large undertaking my friend, and I wish you success!

[92eatos]

you donwload db from svn
lhdb - Revision 36: /
And yes i am working alone and its good for now but i need more bug trackers

Hi all, I am new to making WoW Private Server,and therefore I have no idea . I have a repack(arcemu) and It works gr8,it's just some NPC's (some have made by me,and some were ORIGINALY there) are neutral instead of hostile,like I made them,and I CANNOT attack THEM! Please help,I can post a link for the repack :S

Like was stated earlier some quest issues are core related, others are database related.

As for Mankirks Wife, there is a standstate field in the creature_spawns table (if I remember the correct name of the table and field) that should determine if the creature/npc is standing, sitting or lying down. I would have to look to see what values would go in that field, so I would think that issue is DB related.

A lot of the Database Forums are nice about telling you if an issue you report with a quest is database or core related. So, you could try posting some of the quest issues on the whydb forums.

Later.
