[SOLVED] [TRINITY] Got a problem with my characters...

[DarkAngel]

Hi all.
I recently converted (most) of my project from arcemu to trinitycore. The new trinity structure is still new to me, so bare with me if this is general knowledge.

The error:
When I create a character, it starts with a bow equipped as helmet, shoulderpads, left and right hand weapon. I have no idea at all why this is.
I have already tried running the version of my worldserver.exe from yesterday, which gave me no errors at all(yesterday) and it too has this problem.
So I figured the problem had to be in my database... I tried deleting everything from playercreateinfo_items and character_inventory and it did not work.
Below screenshots has been taken right after character creation:

Fixed:
After 3-4 hours redoing my entire item_template table I finally found the problem. So obvious! The bow in the above pictures entryid were set to 0, which screws the entire character creation up, so one more lesson learned.

I had a similar issue like this. I accidentally deleted data in one of my patch files and the result of that caused problems like you're having right now. To solve it, I had to redownload 3.3.5a and replace the patch file I facked up with the new one.

This isn't a core problem, it is a client problem.

Hey! Thanks for the quick reply.
It is not a patch problem. I tried removing the patch, I also tried from two other computers...
Thanks nontheless.

Regards, DarkAngel.

Edit: I indeed had the same intuition(the client / server problem) as it was nothing but displays.

Edit: Hmm all of my pc's has had the patch at some point, but the patch haven't been edited for ages... It's just a mix of some spell changes and ARAC...
Edit2: I indeed had the same intuition(the client / server problem) as it was nothing but displays, that was untill I borrow my brothers computer, to test it...
And the bows were displayed right after character creation.
Edit3: I really don't get it, it really should be a client problem, shouldn't it? I will do a fresh install on a fourth PC, don't know if it can even open wow
Edit4: Not a fresh install, but no patches was ever applied to it... It still happens!

I don't do many things towards client customization, so my knowledge isn't great when it comes to this. Only thing I know how it can do that is wrong displayids, client side content missing, specific content missing, etc..

Only thing that changed was you going from ArcEmu to TrinityCore, but that is just the servers. Since you have a custom patch, it has to be something around that, that's causing the malformed displayids.

 

[DarkAngel]

There is no custom patch :-/ Atleast not on one of my test comps, and on that it still bugs out... Could the server be sending wrong packets? Not that I have any idea which packets that would be.
Also I did modificate the core and I've done tons of stuff to the DB...

No, the server isn't sending the wrong messages to the client, as I've said, this isn't a core issue.

You said you've done a ton of stuff to the database, what would that be? You said you don't have a custom patch, but how come the UI is different from the default WotLK UI? Seems to me like you have some custom client modifications going on there. I need more information on what you've done.

Sorry for being so ignorant.
The images were taken on my main computer, which does contain patches,
while the testing I was speaking of was done on 3 other computers(mainly labtops) that I have at home.
1 or 2 of these have had the patch before and I therefore deemed them unriable,
while the third computers wow client has not been modified at all -> This is what confuses me, as the error still shows up.
I have modified the item_template table and removed stats from most of the items ingame but this should not effect the player on creation.
I have also modified the playercreateinfo table and the playercreateinfo_items table, I have tried removing every entry in this table, still no wonders.
I have also run the newly updated ARAC sql to my DB.

Core changes:
Transmogrification patch by Rochet2
DressNPCs patch by Rochet2
Made Glyphs and enchants instant
Fixed Totems(ARAC)

DBC:
Modded a few spells, made them do less damage and require more mana/runes/runicpower etc.

None of the above changes should effect the player on creation.

It makes sense, that it's client side... I just don't know what the heck I've done wrong...

Regards, DarkAngel

Edit: Will do set up a fresh TC installation and see if the problem still occurs
Thanks for your continued support.

RBAC wouldn't have an effect on this.

It should make sense that it is client side considering the server only reads the dbc files and just communicates with the client. I'm pretty clueless as well if you've done anything and everything. Are you sure there isn't a patch edit hiding somewhere that you forgot about?

 

[DarkAngel]

I just ran a completely new install of WoW on this(my main) computer, still got the same error :-/ I wish it was client side would had made this less complicated...

Hehe, when I say ARAC I mean the "All Races All Classes" patch not RBAC

Regards, DarkAngel

Edit: This is what happens when you do not commit changes... And keep everything in the same folder :-/

Meh, I hate acronyms. Well, it seems there's not much I can do at this point. +_+

 

[DarkAngel]

I am going to repull+compile or w/e it's called and do the whole thing over.. Hopefully I won't need to flush the DB.
Again, thanks for helping out.

Glad to see I am not alone when it comes to sleep problems

I'm not sure if repulling and compiling will work. And what do you mean by sleep problems? I guess the word you were looking for is insomnia? Acronym is, "an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word (e.g., ASCII, NASA )."

he means its prolly 2am where he is like me lol. i enjoy my sleep problems though i get things done better at night lol

This had me laughing my ass off

Rather going to bed 3:50 and waking up at 07:00, to get back on the computer... Then going off to start my workday
Getting tired everyday then sleeping a tremendous amount of hours in the weekends.

Bumping this, if anybody might be interested I've tracked the problem down, all the way to the database. The bug somehow occures in my item_template table, I have done a lot of modification to this table.

EDIT:
After 3-4 hours redoing my entire item_template table I finally found the problem... So obvious! The bow in the above pictures entryid were set to 0, which screws the entire character creation up... So lesson learned: NEVER aciddently make an item entryid '0'...
