WoW Freedom

This thread holds information about various updates made to WoD server or websites such as the minimanager. Also contains status updates.



Some early March and pre-March updates:

• Added boatloads of custom items of every item display entry (ItemDisplayInfo.dbc).
  
  
• Each weapon custom item is multiplied across six sheath states (SHEATH0 to SHEATH5).
  
  
• All chest-area items are multiplied across three chest equipment slots - shirt, chest and tabard.
  
  
• Created skin unlock patch for character creation/customize (took multiple weeks and 1000+ line written MySQL script). All I have to say is that CharSections.dbc is a perfect example of what happens when you don't have 3NF design for your DB table or simply put - don't mix 8 or more tables into one). The pedantic nature of CharSections.dbc's primary keys didn't help it either (e.g. if you have color variation indexes X and Y, where X < Y, then primary keys or entry IDs must also be in that order for rest of the CharSection skin entries, what use those color variations).
  
  

[FreedomCore6 update] Added mall vendor NPCs for normal and custom items for the WoD test server. Mall vendor list is found here:

[Freedom Mini-manager update] Added [url="http://mm.wowfreedom-rp.com:8080/Server/CommandList"><s></s>http://mm.wowfreedom-rp.com:8080/Server/CommandList page for command help. It will display available commands to user (up to GM3: Administrator, depending on user's in-game access level).

[Status update] It is mid-semester for me at the university, therefore, development will be put on ice until I do all the tests. It will likely be slow even afterwards, as I have to write course-work in this semester.

[FreedomCore6]

• Finished ".freedom" commands. See command help on the website: [url="http://mm.wowfreedom-rp.com:8080/Server/CommandList"><s></s>http://mm.wowfreedom-rp.com:8080/Server/CommandList
  
  
• Added new command: ".freedom hover on/off" (makes you hover above the ground a bit with hover animation, note that ".freedom unaura" command cancels this command).
  
  

[FreedomCore6 / Client] Updated client and server for 6.2.4 (rev 21463) latest WoD version.



This update requires you to delete the old client and redo everything if you have the old stuff before this update. Read the [url="http://w11.zetaboards.com/WoW_Freedom/topic/11524882/"><s></s>WoD connection guide to download and patch the new client.

[FreedomCore6 / Client / Web]

• Updated client and server for 6.2.4 (rev 21742) latest WoD version. This also includes database updates.
  
  
• Updated mini-manager website:
  • Fixed database incompatibility when we moved from 6.2.3 to 6.2.4. Website should be useable now.
    
    
  • Ported Command List page's table data pagination to server-side execution (table rows will be queried and returned from the server in filtered chunks instead of all of it being shoved to the client at once). This should increase Command List page-loading performance and put lighter load on the VPS resources.
    
    
  • Separated sensitive configs and created a template for em, so I can safely port website solution to GitHub from BitBucket.
    
    
  
  
• Development for July public-testing release has been resumed. Expect frequent updates.

[Client patch] Added new version of [url="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9bR-Dw6svB7WE1HSUcxWXhrb28"><s></s>FreedomEssentials patch, which includes Valley of Eternal Blossoms fix at greater reduced size (from ~500 MB down to ~40 MB). FreedomPatcher.bat and FreedomConfig is removed from the patch, as it is no longer necessary (Patch now has FreedomWoW.exe and tc_bundle.txt, what you simply extract to your wow folder).
