Trinity WLK - Limits on Factions?

[Big Bad Bot]

Hello everyone. I need to create a lot of new factions (like 60 new ones) without delete the old ones. I haven't any issue creating the first ten editing Faction.dbc and FactionTemplate.dbc but after the IDs 1170 and 1192 of the first DBC and 2245 and 2267 from the second one, the server start to crash.

Do you know if there's a limit of factions?
it's possible to "break" this limit messing with the core or adding more entries in a SQL table?]


PS: All the factions are the same with a few fields changed.

Be more specific about the crash. Best attach a crash log with debug.

I had to change factions and had a crash when I reached a certain numbers of new custom faction.
I can't help you more than that, but I'm pretty sure there is a limitation.

(You can try to changes the factions with OLD or UNUSED tag on it btw, that's how I've tricked the limitation.)

There is a file in your ServerCrashlog folder. It's a .txt file.

Can you upload it's content to a pastebin and post it here ?

Are you guys really sure that you have done everything correctly? Those numbers which you have taken as IDs are pretty low, I quite doubt thats something what would be able to cause crashes. I have also habit of starting everything from higher number, my custom factions are 3200+, so your assumption is most likely incorrect.

Show me some examples of your data in your DBCs.

Factions are used in bitmasks, so there suddenly being some 2^n/8 wouldn't be too surprising.

I had the exact same problem myself (first dozen or so new factions worked fine, then POP!).  In the end I just reused the redundant ones.

Reputations. Not factions. Thats why I want to see their DBCs. 256 is still much more than WotLK uses, and he spoke only about 60 custom ones. So if max isn't 128 (meh, signed again???), its still quite strange issue.

I tried it once replacing the CTF - Flag - Horde 2 reputation (ID=1160) and doesn't work, but puttin the exact same one on ID 1164 works without issues -but I have other custom faction I need in that ID-

I don't have the option to save crashlogs active, the last one was from 2014 LOL. Con you tell me how to turn it on?

Crashlogs are ALWAYS generated if worldserver crashes. The only useful ones are from Debug, though. RelWithDebug is "meh", but might be a pointer already.

[Steff]

If not and you use a repack there are options for logs in the config file(s).
Perhaps they are turned of.

For some kind of strange reason, I found the new crash logs! I think I was totally sleepy when I see the folder the first time  :|

Nah, can you just show me screenshot of your faction.dbc custom entries?
