I'm going to be using this thread to keep everybody invited to help participate in the World of Warcraft: Tradewinds server up to date with our progressions. Use this to ask and answer questions pretaining to the project. This thread will be cleaned of any useless posts and anything else deemed garbage by myself and Xetox.

****UPDATES****

UPDATE 4-19-06: I have the server software installed and am going to be in the process of configuring the router ports to allow incomming connecdtions to the server. Xetox as we speak is helping me as well on this and hopefully shortly we'll have a working front end loader for the new server.

UPDATE 4-19-06: The server works great! I just need to get the 1.8 patch to make sure its 100% working, otherwise i can connect but I get a client error with it not matching up with the server version.

UPDATE 4-22-06: I can now get into the server with the patches I've downloaded and it lists the world I created, but I am as of yet unable to actually enter into the realm itself. I think I have to make a few adjustments to the servers IP settings but this is a major step in the right direction.

UPDATE 4-22-06: **MAJOR UPDATE** I'm in the realm with an Orc Warrior on the Tradewinds server. I'll be testing it for bug and any problems and will be posting more updates later.

UPDATE 4-23-06: Thanks to AdmiralAcid's reply to my post I can now accept incomming connections from people outside my local area network, if you use my IP address you can get in but im having some problems with the client launcher working right with the wowtradewinds.dyndns.org, doesnt seem to be working.

UPDATE 4-23-06: wowtradewinds.dyndns.org should work now. Please keep in mind if you go to install your world of warcraft please do not update past version 1.8.0 or it will not work with our game server.

UPDATE 9-17-06: Repair options was down for quite some time, we got that working and the appropriate Smiths should now repair items.

UPDATE 9-17-06: Recently added in the Tier 3 armor sets, you will need atleast the 1.11.1 client patched to be able to view these armor types, they will be droped by high level Instance bosses.

UPDATE 9-17-06: Added many new Addons support for WoW clients, including the out of the box World of Warcraft included addons, this should fix alot of issues with trainers and such.

MAJOR UPDATE 9-17-06: Server software upgraded to Tradewinds Omnikron, added several GM features and enhanced performance overall, player accounts should not be affected.

UPDATE 10-02-06: Fixed "Recombobulator" quest in Mulgore, Leper Gnomes now drop the proper parts to complete the quest.



****BUGS AND ODDITIES REPORTS****

ODDITY: In order to equip items like cloaks and armor it would appear you need to manually drag the item into the appropriate slot on your character, double clicking will not work.

ODDITY: In order for your consumables that require you to be sitting to work, you need to manually sit down first by pressing X then opening your bag and consuming food or drinks.

BUG: Some quests auto complete, you accept the quest then talk to the quest giver again and it completes it for you.

BUG: Certain Summoned monsters (pets etc) dont seem to want to follow you. I've only tested it on one so far so who knows.

BUG: You need to click on some quest givers twice to make them talk to you, not a big dedal tho.

BUG: When you summon a mount like the Raptor it doesnt show up with you on it tho you do get the speed increase. Kodo's seem to work fine tho.

****THANKS ARI FOR THE BUG REPORTS BELOW****

-Reproduced the combo point I spoke of earlier, all I was doing was melee and casting.

- You have to manually sit("x" key) to eat / drink, else it wears off immediately.

- Regeneration is broken, so spirit = useless atm

- If you complete a quest with an item reward, but have no inventory space, it poofs.

- I was sometimes seeing duplicate damage messages (though not damage) when in either spell or melee combat.

- The "Welcome Letter" item is for another server.

- Not all preferences are saved under Interface options. I have to go in and turn on my bottom left/right actionbars each time I enter the world.

Also this thread is for bug and abnormalities reporting only. Please do not post anything but related items.

Many of these will not be able to be fixed so you will have to deal with them. I will list the bugs in the order I find them.



Bug Report #1



When you make your character it will stay at the Character Creation screen unless you press cancel and then press back and you character will have been created.



Unlike the legit servers many skills particulary the ones dealing with your class (majorly) such as Tame Beast which is normally gotten by a series of quests is given to you right at the start. This is true for the hunter I will check the other classes soon and find if it is also true for them.



This bug was in the game for about 15 minutes before being dealt with. Every "talk" command was duplicated. So it was an extremely annoying one and figured Id post it here. FIXED



When trying to drop something in a bag you coud normally just drag and drop over the bag BUT not here, you must first open the bag and drop on one of the slots.



It would seem for now you cannot have a friends list BUT this could only be for GMs since thats all that have been able to test this function yet.



When talking to a quest giver it makes you click twice on them.





This is all I have yet to notice BUT please remember this is the first day someone besides the host has been on. So testing it all is my job along with you guys.



Im making these bug reports so that you understand them better. I hope itll help at least some.



If you discover something I havent please make me aware of it so I can further research it and post it here.



Well this is the first report of many to come so please understand that they will become more organized as time progresses.

Bug Report #2





Arrows or bullets do not automatically go into ammo pouch or quiver.



Buyback function is broken. (Merchants)



Bag vendor in Thunder Bluff is broken



Many pet skills for the hunter are currently unlearnable such as Mend Pet.



The skill "Beast Training" shows its learnable but it will not be learned even after buying. It will continue to take your money without you learning it.



ERROR when trying to learn the pet skill "Growl Rank 5"



Many of the pet related skills have been removed and replaced with ones of different quality but with the overall effect.



Mobs in Mulgore are not moving around but are standing still.



When trying to shoot an with a bow sometimes "Fizzled" will show up and it will not fire to overcome this just press the button again.



Mobs are not moving once attacked (in Mulgore yet to be tested in other areas)



The swift Razzashi Raptor is not showing up BUT you still gain speed boost.



Agility does not seem to be affecting Ranged Damage.



Set bonuses do not seem to be working.



After a pet is tamed then dismissed the logo and bars stay there and no display the name "Unknown Entity"



Party chat is broken.



The First Aid trainers skill "Formula: Strong Anti-Venom" is down it will keep taking your money and you will not learn the skill.



When using any ranged weapon everytime you login you must re-drag your ammo to the correct slot for some reason it does not save the postion.

Sorry for the couple day delay but I was distracted.

Bug Report #3



The instance "Blackrock Lair" is void of all spawns.



Broken Chests in Blackrock Depths.



The Dark Coffer is empty when it should be full of items. Blackrock Depths



Blackrock Depths is missing the fire elemental boss.



Lava does not kill over time as was intended.



If you fall from a bridge in Blackrock Depths into the lava you are stuck there the only way out is either dieing or hearthstoning.



Warriors can only activate stances once engaged with an enemy.



Warriors only recieve Rage when hit.



Guild chat is broken.



The guild tabard function is also broken. Not broken completely but pretty much broken.



Guild functions are glitchy such as invite. On occasion it will invite the same person twice.



The Night Elf mount merchant is broken.



City Guards do not display a symbol when asking for directions.



Most city guards will not even talk to you.



After dismounting from a Swift Frostsaber (NE mount) you will walk at half speed until you logout. I have not tested it with other NE mounts.



On creatures that give something different to each race that kills it will drop both every time. Such as Onyxia now drops two heads. One for Alliance and one for the Horde while it is only supposed to show you one of them in example if you were alliance and killed her then she would only drop the alliance head.



Onyxia's super-rare drop for the hunters epic quest now has 100% chance of dropping. Mature Black Sinen I believe.



Some mobs in Blackrock Spire was messed up and moved in irregular ways. I have only seen this and I havent checked again to see if it was just because of the major lag we was having when we was exploring that area.





I thank Prometheus for his trip to Blackrock Spire and Onyxia's Lair with me and Zan for his trip with me to Blackrock Depths.

The Manhunt quest does not work. You can do the whole quest but when you try to bring back "The Collectors" ring there is never a golden exclamation mark over the sheriffs head so you cannot complete the quest.



Also using the Hippogryphs (sp?) was a little strange in Westfall. I had to talk to the hypogryph trainer in westfall then port back to the main city and talk to the trainer there as well before I could use the services. I was able to complete the quest but it was a little strange on how it was to be completed. Damn cool cutscenes though!!!! I rode them a few times because it was neat to watch. Would be cooler if they flew higher and you got a birds eye view of the land.

For the air travel you MUST have talked to both people even in the real game. The quest is not messed up but it seemed messed up because you did not know that you should always talk to hippogryph or wind rider guy in each town.

I figured the Hippogryph problem was because im an idiot.



I do enjoy playing the Paladin. I like her more then I like my warrior. I did manage to overestimate her abilities a few times and get a full and hearty asskicking because of it. The latest one was from the level 15 gnoll master thats a quest. I just got her some new chainmail (she finally got level 13) and she looks hot! I should post a new pic of her in the character thread.





I have also noticed in Old Town in the Stormwind there is a bandit or something that will chase you around. He is in the alley were poisons are sold. I dont know if he is supposed to be there but he hurts. Didnt think Id get my ass beat exploring the city but I did.

One more thing. I did the CLUCK quest and I got my chicken egg. I hatched my pet chicken but its not following me around. It stays in the same place after I tell it to follow me. Atleast in Fable I could kick the chickens I cant even do that here!!

ok, got the ewife to log in and make a character



Tauren warrior. well, at one point she got attacked by a battle boar. She was trying to run away when it killed her... she hit the ground face first and slid...



not strange you say? how about the fact that she slid ALL THE WAY BACK TO TOWN, and could control her direction as she went
