A big PLEASE HELP ME thread... but really.. Please... I beg you...

[thieverywow]

Ok for the past week I have been trying to get my server up. In the past three DAYs I have put 40+ hours on 2 of them. Im stuck in a rut and I need someone to help me out. I beg you please help me. Ok heres the problem 1 by 1.

1: ) Connecting my MySQL to my WAMP for an Account Registration Page
- this one has been literally depressing me. I cant do it, no matter what I do EVER. EVER. its so depressing. Ok so I get everything working.. I get on my localhost website and I create an account. It checks out fine, but it wont work. Than if I go to PhPmyAdmin it can't connect to my MySQL. #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) . But I changed to to my user and pass.
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "root";
$dbpass = "ascent";
$dbname = "logon";
And thats what I use to log into the MySQL with heidiSQL. I just dont understand. I've googled, been to every link I could MULTIPLE times. I just dont understand. I am literally killing myself trying to fix this. I've reinstalled Wamp, I've tried Rospora, I've tried Xampp. I just dont unerstand.

2: ) How do I make Items cost honor?
I mean a custom amount of honor? See Im stuck on this because im using trinitycore, and I dont see a Itemsextendedcost.dcc or w/e in my Heidi. Where, and how, do I edit it to be a custom amount of HONOR?

3: ) How do I compile a C++ script in a trinitycore?
If I follow the Wiki page I get up to - "Under the scripts project (left hand side of the screen), press the arrow on the left to open the project dependencies. Then right click on the Source Files folder, and select 'Add' -> 'Existing Item'. Navigate to the location of your custom script (should be something like C:/Trinity/src/server/scripts/custom), select your script and press 'Add' or 'OK'. "
But when I open my Trinitycore with Visual 2010 express in my d:\build I dont have a "Scripts" project. I only have ALL_BUILD, g3dib, revision.h, ZERO_CHECK, zilb Solutions.

Please you have no idea how much time, how many google searches, and how many fail attempts I've done. If you can help me out I beg you, do so please.

So, exactly how far along are you?

Is your server up and running?

Are you able to log in to the game?

All this crap you're talking about sounds like your databases are empty, to me anyway. Maybe it's because I'm tired and misunderstanding you. Personally, i had a bout with trinity (skyfire to be exact, which is essentially the same thing), and it took me about 16 hours to get a server up and running locally. Mainly because I wasn't familiar with making project files with cmake and all the other shit that compiling a trinity core involves (I've been using MaNGOS for the last couple of years). Make sure you didn't overlook executing their full database batch into heidi. If you're not seeing tables that should be there, you might have forgotten to do so. Make sure you created a db for and executed the sql batch into heidi for your website too.

As far as scripts go, unless you've downloaded and placed a custom script into the directory they're telling you to look in, there wont be scripts there. All of the scripts in trinity are in the project file already, and are compiled with the core by default.

Last but not least, going back to your first issue, if your databases are created and populated in heidi (you have a world db with tables, an auth db with tables, a character db with tables, and a php db with tables), post your wamp config here so we can see it.

Well I made trinitycore, but I took a server I already started and put it on it. If I use the DBs that came with it will it replace mine?

[freeman725]

You're saying you already had a server. Does that mean that you compiled trinity and pointed the trinity configs to use the databases from your first server creation attempt? What core were you using with your first server that you over wrote with trinity? Again, I'm pretty tired so bear with me here.

I guess what I should be asking is, are you using a repack or did you do everything step by step yourself?

[thieverywow]

Well, I used a repack. Than compiled a trinitycore. But replaced the server folder. Which Is working well so far.

To use the DB of your old compilation, fix the DB names in the Configs.

Further information for TrinityCore, how to compile and DB can be found here: How-to:Win - TrinityCore Wiki

About how to compile custom scripts. http://trinitycore.info/How-to:CustomScript

I advise you to recompile. Own compilation...''


And I feel that your repack was not TrinityCore - Excuse me, I meant compile.

Cause if you compiled a Trinity, the default logon should be "root;trinity;trinity". And your is "root;ascent;ascent" This smells like ArcEmu, or the Repack may not be Trinity, sorry, I could not understand you.

[thieverywow]

Well first off, thanks for your input. But if you would look again, I explained that I've changed config files, and that Im stuck on a How to-custom scripts step. Thats what Im looking for help on. As for the DB, what do you suggest? I might not reply for a while. Im going to bed its 4 am. But I will reply eventually.

[thieverywow]

Can anyone help? Pleazz :S

[freeman725]

So, all your problems are fixed, except for the custom script issue? Are you looking to write your own scripts, or are you just looking to compile 3rd party custom scripts into your trinity build?
