weaponskills cap!

[trujillo]

i am looking for a guide or a repack that has max weaponskills that go to 2500.
so i can get to level 500 and be able to hit other level 500 mobs and players.
if anyone could tell me how to do this or compile a repack for that would be great. because when i try to do it it wont work for me. and i would like the server to be 3.3.2 that where i run into the problem it might be because there is a diff way for 3.3.2 or what i dont know

A.) don't use repacks. that's begging to get a trojan.
B.) It's not going to happen. weapon skills are only going to go up to 400, because that's all the client is going to let it get to. If you could get weapon skills higher, it would do so automatically without need for DB intervention.

Quick Check: level your character to 81. if your weapon skills go up to 405, then it will work, if not, which i don't think it's going to, there's nothing anyone can do about it. It's coded in the client that 400 is a hard cap, i believe.

I could be wrong though.

C.) DON'T USE REPACKS!
compile it yourself, it's not that hard.

get tortoise svn, download the source (more info at arcemu.org)
get visual studio c++ 2008 (free), compile source
find a db; download
get MySQL, install, dump db into sql
start server
???
profit.

i do compile myself
and i know how to make it diff
and 400 isnt the starting set cap its 450 and i know how to change it through lower patches but i dont know i was just seeing if anyone knew anything about it being maybe a bug cuz i know there alot of bugs to 3.3.2

no, for a level 80 with max skill and no modifications (gear, talents, etc) it's 400.

Professions are levelable to 450, not weapon skills, defense, etc.

im talking about the C++ side you can make you servers max level 90 and weaponskills will scale to 450 and no higher trust me i know this.
and i know that if you max level is 80 then it will only scale to 400

[dffrntdnl]

and 400 isnt the starting set cap its 450

well, that's not what you said.

and if you know this, i suggest you find whatever server you were on that accomplished this, look at their source, and see how they did it.
then just change the numbers to whatever you want.

That's *IF* it's been done. and if it has:

Get ready for some awesome WoW crashes from all your players.
The client isn't designed for those kind of numbers, and whether you believe it or not, that matters.

Repacks, begging for a trojan? You are joking me.

Repacks will only contain a trojan from rip off sites from a leecher, not from MMOwned. They will be caught, abnned, post removed. Repakcs are bad yes. But thats only as it dont really teach you much, you should never receive a trojan if your careful.

And its possible, without crashes.. person posting, your talking from nothing.

If the client wasn't designed for those numbers, custom NPC's would cause crashes, custom items, etc etc. But they dont now do they? Stop trying to make the person look like a idiot. You cant look at a nother servers source, its fricking closed source and they will not share it.

You can set what level you can go to in optional.conf, in the core before you compiled it, under player.cpp i beeleive there is a place for the highest level, just open it up before you compile, find it down the left hand side under world, and take a look using search for level, max, some of the keywords. Good luck!

ok thanks alot for your help i hope it works if i find something i will post it cuz i knew how to do it aabout 6 months ago but i dont know if it changed or something but when i find a way i will post it on here and i know that the other guy didnt know anything cuz i have had a self compiled server before with level cap at 500 and it was a pretty stable server as far as the level cap was coonsidered
