Motd is can now be found in auth database table motd

realmid = Realm ID or -1 for all realms. text = Text for Motd

Specified realmId is prioritized over -1 (All Realms)

For example:

You have realm 1, 2, 3

(-1, "This Motd will show for 2, 3") (1, "This Motd will show for 1")

Added

New hook for OnQuestComputeXP(). The intended use is to change the XP values for certain quests programmatically. The hook is triggered after XP calculation and before rewarding XP or gold to the player.

How to upgrade

No special changes needed. The new hook is available for use and should not interfere with any existing hooks or logic.

Release notes

This PR removes the modelId column from creature table to allow us to move to a dual entry spawn system.

If this causes an issue for in game or custom spawns the following line of SAI can update the modelId.

(#entryorguid,0,0,0,11,0,100,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,0,#modelId,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"Creature Name - On Spawn - Change Model to #modelId"),

Special thanks to @Shin @Kitzunu @M'Dic for assistance.

Changelog for commit "feature(Core/Spells): Allow to learn all spells for characters on creation"

Added

All abilities for classes up to TBC into playercreateinfo_spell_custom
Config option PlayerStart.AllSpells - If enabled, players will start with all their class spells (not talents). You must populate playercreateinfo_spell_custom table with the spells you want, or this will not work! The table has data for all classes / races up to TBC expansion.

Removed

How to upgrade

Update the worldserver.conf file with the new PlayerStart.AllSpells if you want to change it to "ON". Otherwise it will go with the default option "OFF" from the worldserver.conf.dist file.

Changed

New options for loading scripts static dynamic minimal-static minimal-dynamic #5346

static - Build statically. Default option. for all scripts (As it was before)
dynamic - Build dynamically. After start support Dynamic Linking Library (DLL) can make separated library for each script. Now don't support
minimal-static - builds commands and spells statically
minimal-dynamic - builds commands and spells dynamically. Now don't support

Also the default value which is provided by the SCRIPTS variable is overwriteable through the SCRIPTS_COMMANDS, SCRIPTS_SPELLS... variable.
Each subdirectory contains it's own translation unit now which is responsible for loading it's directory
If module using deprecated script loader api, you get error message.

cmake

> Module (mod-ah-bot) using deprecated loader api

How to upgrade

For most modules, the `CMakeLists.txt' file is no longer needed
Need change script loader file.

1. Rename extension in file to `.cpp`
2. Rename general loading function to `Add(module name with replace all whitespace to '_')Scripts()`.
3. Delete macros `AC_ADD_SCRIPT_LOADER` from `CMakeLists.txt`

Example loader script for modules:

cpp

/*
 * Copyright (C) 2016+ AzerothCore <www.azerothcore.org>
 */

// From SC
void AddSC_ServerAutoShutdown();

// Add all scripts
void Addmod_server_auto_shutdownScripts()
{
    AddSC_ServerAutoShutdown();
}
