Cataclysm V10 and MOP v.1 - Release Information(?)

[ExO]

Hi guys,

Addressing the topics:
- Cataclysm - V.10 release (VIP)
- MOP - V.1 release

The Cataclysm, V.10 (VIP) was set to be released during christmas,
But unfortunately some bugs have appeared that I want to fix before releasing to make the version v.10 really worth it!

This means that it will be released some days after start of January when New Years has been celebrated.
Expecting Cataclysm V.10 (VIP) to release between January 4-10th.


The MOP, V.1 was set to be released during New Years Eve,
But with the un-expected extra bugs that needed priority on Cataclysm the MOP had to be delayed until Cataclysm has been released.

This means that it will be released (AFTER CATACLYSM, so I can have some extra time to 100% focus on MOP, as I want to make some fix improvements).
Expecting MOP v.1 to release soon

Sorry for the extra delay boys and girls, but I want the releases to be smooth, well working and totally worth it.
I do under no case want to release bad/poor quality.
But keep in mind MOP will be in beta release (meaning that many things will be bugged cause it's the first MOP release)

Happy new years everybody, remember to enjoy it!

 

[ExO]

Just to point out:

- The whole point of the small postpone / extra wait is to ensure:
Quality, and that the version releases really are worth the updates.

I don't want to release bad quality and I want to deliver the best for you guys

Thanks for the update ExO,

 

[Stormtempter]

You take all the time you need

Great to hear! Well done!

Tho I am curious about what the difference will be right from the start for us who aren’t VIP for the MoP repack?

 

[Dr. Weird]

Appreciate the updates.

I did not know you could call a hangover a bug fix but I hope the team is having a good holiday.

All joking aside, cannot wait.

[MENTION=1]ExO[/MENTION] Any database migration guide from CATA to MOP?

 

[Tasoulios]

Just a question about upgrading.

Could we use the same character databases or anything else from v9.1 to v10? Or do we need to start fresh?

Still can't make those character import programs work smoothly

Maybe something like what you mention in this topic:

https://www.emucoach.com/showthread.php/4788-VIP-Version-9-Cataclysm-4-3-4-Cataclysm-Repack

You posted another method of transferring everything to the new version. Will this work from 9.1 to 10?

Are you referring to my post in that thread? I made a program that has a char transfer, but I'm unsure if it will work for 9.1 to 10. Pretty sure I made it for v7 to v8, or v8 to v9, can't remember. It depends on the structure of the character database, and if it's changed or not.

No, i'm referring to this part:

NOTE:
You can use the same character and auth database as 8.1 so you don't lose your accounts or characters from the previous version!

In this case, download only the first link (Release folder), and last link (Direct world database dump), and do the following:

1) Open your database editor & create a database called "emucoach_world_v9_vip"
2) Execute the .sql world database dump into your newly created world database.
3) Head to worldserver.conf and find the following:
WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;emucoach_world_v8_ vip

And edit the current database to emucoach_world_v9_vip and also ensure that the above (Auth & Character database) is correct.

I tried the GM tool but couldn't make it work. I also tried another character import tool i found in the site and that worked, however the result was buggy.

I believe there's a part with the database names you need to adjust for each version. I actually can't remember which database names they're supposed to be. I think it's the world database and character database, adjust them accordingly to what they are in the version you are exporting from, and for the version you're importing to.

Yes. I will not touch the character (and auth database), only the World database.
I will do something similar to what I did previously in the thread you linked.

Great to hear! Well done!

No differences on the first release.

Version 1 will be available for everyone at the same time because it's in "beta" and many bugs may appear.

In this case, as a way to make up on it, it will start equal for all members, and hopefully you guys will report the bugs so we can fix it and improve the MOP repack

@ExO Any database migration guide from CATA to MOP?

Hm, to convert accounts and characters?
Unfortunately not since the structure is different but I will see how difficult it is (it depends on the structure)

Thanks for the update ExO,

No problem!

You take all the time you need

Thanks for the support

Appreciate the updates.

Hah! You caught me. Nah, thanks for your feedback! Hope you had a good holiday as well.

Nice one, thanks for the update and Happy New Year!

Happy new years to you as well bud.

Hope you guys had nice holidays. Sorry wasn't around. Was in hospital again, again. wee. lol Anyways. Hope everyone is doin great. Thank for your hard work everyone.

You too! Ugh, I hope you're doing better from the hospital now though! Glad to see you around again mate

If it was possible to transfer players' accounts (characters) from CATA to MOP, it would be great

 

[Stormtempter]

If VIP is v10, does that mean the regular repack goes to 8 or 9? Or is it staying at v7 for now?

Will be decided after releasing the MOP version 1
