Module Preview Build

Update 2023-06-17
This updates to the latest version of AzerothCore and all modules. One notable update is a new version of AutoBalance with additional configuration options. If updating from an old version, please migrate your config changes to the new config file included in the Update archive. The default configuration settings should have the same results as the previous AutoBalance settings.

The AHBot module is now included in the worldserver. It is disabled by default and can be enabled by using values in the newly provided config file for the module.

Thank you to all players for your continued interest in the module and for tolerate any issues until I return to fix them. Please report any issues in the issue tracker to be fixed!

Previous release notes are available here.

This is a simple packing of AzerothCore test server for those who would like to very simple way to see the module. It is a pre-configured Windows build and includes the following modules:

• mod-autobalance
• mod-individual-progression
• mod-reagent-bank
• mod-transmog
• mod-challenge-modes

The database is pre-populated so no SQL files need to be run. All optional IndividualProgression SQL files have been enabled to best show the module features.

Configuration options can be changed by editing the files in the config directory.

I will try to update this preview build every while, but for anyone who is want to play long term, I highly recommend following the AzerothCore guide to compile your own server! It will allow you to always stay up to date and give freedom to change modules and contribute more towards better open source emulation.

Creating an Account

The database does not contain any accounts by default. To create an account, in the worldserver.exe console (the red logo one), type:
.account create $accountname $password
Where $accountname is the name of your account, and $password is the password. For example:
.account create ZhengPeiRu password1234

After an account has been created, if you would like to make it a GM account, then type:
.account set gmlevel $accountname 3
For example:
.account set gmlevel ZhengPeiRu 3

It is suggested to not use a GM account for regular play, as GM accounts have special debugging properties such as seeing all phases at once.

Suggested Addons

If you are using the transmog collection system (enabled by default,) this addon will provide you with a collection UI:
https://github.com/ZhengPeiRu21/transmog-addons
If the collections UI seems out of sync with your collected items, type .transmog sync into chat to sync with the server's collection database.

If you are aiming for a more classic experience, you may enjoy the addon:
https://github.com/ZhengPeiRu21/hide-vendor-price
This addon will cause vendor prices for items to only show when speaking with vendors, as was the behavior until patch 3.2.

Spawning Additional Transmog and Reagent Banker NPCs

Transmog and Reagent Banker NPCs are currently spawned in Stormwind in appropriate locations (the Reagent Banker is in the Bank and the Transmog NPC is in the clothing shop near the harbor.) If you would like to spawn additional copies of these NPCs in other locations, from a GM account, type in chat:
For a transmog NPC: .npc add 190010
For a reagent banker NPC: .npc add 190011

This will spawn the given NPC at the location the GM is currently standing. Please note that they will need to be re-added after an update because this refreshes the world database.

If you would like to access the database, the username is root and there is no password.
