[QUESTION] TrinityCore server-side modding

<< < (2/3) > >>

Kaev:
The client can't download the game data from the server, because the server doesn't and will never have the client files like the models and so on.
You can program a custom launcher for that, but this hasn't anything to do with TrinityCore or any other core.

schlumpf:
This would be possible, but nobody did before. What you require is the streaming system they introduced in Cata. Pre-cata it is impossible. Cata-MoP I don't know. Post-MoP you need to implement the whole TACT system.

But as said, nobody did that stuff up to now. You could ask people who have been crawling for patches, like the people on MMOC, for how the protocols work. It probably also requires a client edit so that it uses your server instead of Blizzard's.

Amaroth:
Ah, this is what you wanted, sorry, it was quite hard to understand. The easiest and maybe the only really possible way how to do this is to make your own launcher which will download new patches from your server, put them into Data folder, rewrite or delete outdated patches and run a game. 3 problems.:

1. Nothing to do with TrinityCore, you will need to create wholly custom new application.
2. You have probably no way how to really force players to actually use your launcher. They may just run WoW.exe and skip downloading patches, and that might be problem for either them or you. Maybe you will find some.
3. I don't think anyone will do this for you if you can't do it on your own. I have laucnher in development on my project made by friend of mine and it has about 2000 rows of code, most of it isn't that much simple at all (there are some things like crypting patchlist and so on, for better safety from modders). Nothing for beginners.

Servers rename the .exe to a .dat file so only smart people would know what to do with it to actually run it, and if your that smart to know how to run it you would be smart enough to know you should use the launcher.

Sorry I do not speak English.
See the pictiure
1. Delete data folder
2. Start wow.exe
3. wow.exe downloading data folder and required files again

But how download? Where?
I see my ip address in tpc/ip communication
