Winter's Roar Merge

Well,

(this will hit sourceforge CVS by 10/15/04)

The thing that everybody has been waiting for...
(even if you didnt know about it).

The Winter's Roar Merge is finally here.... After hundreds of hours
of coding and testing, I have merged in a ton of features from
Winter's Roar. While I was doing that, I coded up a ton more
features of my own, as well as general code cleanup and reorganization.

A HUGE thanks goes out to wiz for letting me have his source
to facilitate this merge.

Another huge thanks goes to the people involved in testing
this code from project EQ and their players (Celestial).

DB updates:
all together: http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/wr_update.sql
Individuals:
ALTER TABLE items ADD attuneable tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0';
http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/aa_actions.sql
http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/aa_swarmpets.sql
http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/fishing.sql
http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/timers.sql (might not be needed)
http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/traps.sql

Enjoy folks.
please dont post bugs in this thread!

A bunch of new files were added, so if you get link errors on windows,
you need to add them to your project. New files:

Code:

 aggro.cpp

 bonuses.cpp

 client_mods.cpp

 effects.cpp

 features.h

 guilds.cpp

 inventory.cpp

 pets.cpp

 spdat.cpp

 spell_effects.cpp

 tradeskills.cpp

 trading.cpp

 trap.cpp

 trap.h

 waypoints.cpp

I thought this would be a good place to include a fix to the classic database. This fixes all start_zones to work properly. Which puts you in the right place upon creation, and consolidates the starting items table hugely.

http://www.peqserver.com/view_files.php?filter=release

Drop the tables, start_zones and starting_items, then source the 2 included sqls.

have fun, kunark is coming soon!

Very Very nice work =)

About time, slacker.

Cant this be used on 5.7DR6 servers?

Updated via CVS this morning. When I'm compiling, I'm getting errors that features.h is not found. Indeed, the file is not there. Have the changes not completely propogated to SF yet or was the file left out somehow? That was the only build errors I had.

Nope, it was my fault, more info here:
http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=102015

They will be added today.

Cool thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to testing all this stuff out for ya. =)

For the time being, until CVS is up to date:

tarball:
http://www.eqemulator.net/0.6.0-DR1/...20041015-3.tgz

zip:
http://www.eqemulator.net/0.6.0-DR1/...20041015-3.zip

This is just to fill in until CVS is up to date, these files will -not- be maintained going forward. Once CVS is up to date, they will be removed.

Bump.

zip/tarball updated to fix linux makefiles for zone.

I think the project files for windows are still out of date

That's awesome, good work. :D

Bump again. Updated project files for winblows users for zone (thanks LE)
Your milage may vary.

Thanks so much for the hardwork and im glad i could help, i think everyone appreciates this quality work.

Updated project files for VS 6.0.

What version is Winter's Roar on now a days? I remember playing on that server back in the day, it was pretty good.

Still on 0.5.3 because we're too lazy to upgrade

Would there be any way to get on 5.3 via some patcher? I have 0.5.7-DR6, 0.5.9-DR1, 0.5.9-DR2, 0.5.9-DR3 I could work with.

try there web site wintersroar.com

There is an error with aa_actions in the sql updates.
im not in the mood to fix it right now, but basically there is an extra field in the inserts between spell_id and target, so if your desperate to try the AAs, add a fake int column there then load the data, and then drop the column... i'll fix it when I get time.

That wouldn't be causing the crashing problems that I posted in the other forum would it? Still trying to debug it.

Folks, I'm confused on this one (/flame suit ON). I'm assuming I can take what is in the current compiled version on WinCVS and run it using the 5.8 classic DB (with additional scripts), right?

Thanks...

Re: Server Software question

Most likely not, no.

I'm no coder, but I doubt it.

OK...so if I grab the latest client version from WinCVS, what database would anyone run against it? Is it that I take the Classic one from PEQ, run the 4 specific patch sql's, and then run the new sql that's referenced in the top of this post?

Or am I supposed to go somewhere entirely different to grab a database that will work with the current compiled winCVS version?

Trying to learn here... =)

you can take the 5.8 classic DB...
run any updates from edgar's post somewhere about bringing it up to 5.9DR2/3 compatibility (mainly a couple AA updates)... then run the updates mentioned in this release... with the exception that the aa_actions table will be messed up for now.

that should give you a compatible DB... on the other hand, a new PEQ DB for kunark will be hitting the shelves soon which will be fully compatible.

Fixed AA table will be on cvs in a few, and I will update the ones here in a sec.

as to where the database page was, its in the links on the top left side of the main page, or here:

http://www.eqemulator.net/databases.php

I updated it for 6.0 as well.

Ok still wondering why this isn't working for me.. I was running 5.9DR3 no problems.. got the latest CVS project and compiled with no errors. Ran the SQL update, then whenever I try to log in now my Zone.exe crashes no matter what I do. Where am I going wrong? Is the 5.9dr3 + WR SQL update not compatible with the latest CVS? Quite confused and frustrated at this point..

Nah, there are bound to be bugs with a release this big, I will work on squashing as many as I can tomorrow.

Thanks a bunch for the VS updates. You guys all rock on getting things fixed in a hurry even though you hate Windows :P Still getting one error, compile still completes, but wanted to point it out not knowing what it is.

trap.cpp(198) : warning C4804: '<' : unsafe use of type 'bool' in operation

But the compile works great and thanks again!

Is out there 6.0 precompiled version???? if answer is no... how can i compile de 6.0 version ?? i m using windows xp... tks

If you have to ask how to compile it, the answer is you can't. Don't think there's precompiled yet, as this is a test cvs version

yah there is, I try to upload my compiles whenever I can.

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.p...Win32/Release/

Cool, i'm sure everyone appreciates your compiles of the cvs :)

If your using the the zip you also need to add

AA.c
AA.h

:)

I love challenges took me way to long to figure that out though lol

WTF!? I leave for a month for school, and all this happens? Holy crap!
