Log archive
The server log from before the Pantheon project, kept read-only. No new entry is added to it.
worldserver service silently stopping: inherited systemd override
The worldserver service exited immediately with code 0 and no output. A systemd override left by the previous installation replaced the start command; it was removed and the databases, partially filled by the diagnostic tests, were recreated empty.
Autopilot: the server plays even while the client is connected
When his owner is connected but idle for 20 s, Crashtroller keeps playing on his own in front of them. Any human gesture (keyboard, spell, attack, NPC click) pauses the AI. Added a decision debug mode.
mod-free-will: Crashtroller becomes an autonomous player run by the server
New module written from scratch on the official core: the server itself logs Crashtroller into a client-less session and plays him like a human — quests, combat, loot, resting, death, vendor, class trainer, talents, gear — with no cheating.
First start blocked: stale temporary credentials file
Automatic database population failed (MySQL access denied) because the worldserver's temporary credentials file could not be rewritten. The server now has its own private temporary directory.
authserver and worldserver configuration
Configuration files generated from the official templates, changing only what is required: database access, data directory, logs, SQL sources for automatic updates, interactive console disabled.
Server databases and system account
Created the three server databases (auth, world, characters) with a dedicated MySQL user restricted to them, a shell-less system account to run the server, and the data directory (official maps + frFR dbc).
First build of the official AzerothCore core
The official core (master, commit 8c53e9f, no modules) builds without errors: authserver, worldserver, dbimport and the four extraction tools are produced. No server has been started yet.
New server foundation: official AzerothCore core and verified client data
The upcoming server starts from the official AzerothCore core (master branch, no modules) and 3.3.5a (12340) client data whose integrity was checked file by file.
