[SOLVED] [Trinity Core 3.3.5] New Flight Path doesn't work

[Namiriu]

Hi everyone,

I actually try to add custom flight path to my trinity server, i correctly edit the DBC files and i put them in the server side and i do the MPQ patch with these DBC files.

So when i go to the arrival of the flight path i spawn the gryphon master of Stormwind and he give me a new path when i speak to him "You have discover new location to travel" and after that i speak again to him and i've this message : " You dont know any locations bound to this one".

And when i go to the start of my custom flight path i spawn the same gryphon master, and he didn't want to send me at my arrival, in the flight map i only can choose Westfall.

My flight path start ahead stormwind door, and finish in a little camp in the same map ( Azeroth ).

Someone can help me please ? There is the .dbc files i've edit if someone whant to take a look.

Thanks in advance !

Nobody ?

Had the same problem and was too lazy to solve it. I never really found solution, but I was also working on map where no blizzlike FPs are, so I thought that problem is there. I suppose you missed something in DBCs related to world/zone maps and such things, but I'm just guessing here. If you won't find real solution, you can use smart_scripts for that, there is action 52 - activate taxi. You can connect such smart script with for instance some gossip menu option, you can also set there prize (via box money in gossip_menu_option). I'm sorry, there's no better solution from me right now.

Okay thanks for the answer "Mr King of Banana" ! (Joke :p)

Thanks Amaroth ! I going to see this way ... That's too bad Trinity "lock" that, because with MaNGOS only DBC edit is needed and the flight path work correctly  :lol:

Maybe can show me an exemple of what you mean ? I'm new user of Trinity Core and never work with SmartAI or something else. Only with SC2 long time ago in MaNGOS and i've never use gossip at all  :oops:

[Amaroth]

Just a question to be sure - TC2, 3.3.5a? If it is so for you, I can write/screenshot a short tutorial for this.

[Namiriu]

I use TrinityCore 3.3.5a yes

I compilate my own core with this github :

https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore

Is this is you ask ^^'

Because idk what is TC2

[Amaroth]

TC2 - trinitycore 2

So, ok:
1) You already did all DBC work, just for being sure you did it well. I have nearly everywhere Z=0 because my taxis are actually boats, so they are all on water level):
- create 2 new Taxi Nodes (point A and point B) > TaxiNode.dbc
- create 1 new Taxi Path (2 if you want to be able to go to both directions - from point A to B AND from B to A) > TaxiPath.dbc
- create waypoints fro both your Taxi Paths > TaxiPathNode.dbc


2) Create new gossip menu (Note: I used 61001 only as root menu, paths themselves are accesed in submenus which are accesed from root menu, submenu for our Taxi path 2003 from A to B has ID 61011):
- create new gossip menu in world.gossip_menu > will be used by NPC
- create new "welcome" text in world.npc_text used by gossip menu > optional
- create new options for gossip menu in gossip_menu_option > possibilities to select in gossip menu


3) Create new NPC which has npc flag including flag 1 (gossip) and your gossip menu id filled, the rest NPC setting is optional. No screens needed here, are they?

4) Create smart script for NPC. I make smart scripts in Truice, its faster there.:


5) Result (1st screen is with menu 61001, our welcome&select path menu, 2nd screen is from our submenu 61011, our I want mount/sry, no mount, show me root welcome menu again)



For more info google these:

Thanks a lot for that i going to try this week and come back to say you if it's work for me !

Server side code should listen for the message sent by the player (use addon messages, currently uses invisible whisper messages), verify they are next to the taxi master, then send the taxi if they are.

Okay thanks for the help stoneharry, this seems a little bit complicated for me, but maybe i going to try

[Namiriu]

Here is my try with the little tutorial made by Amaroth :

Here is the Translate of the red message i've in game when i paid the price for my fly :
SERVER ERROR UNSPECIFIED TRANSPORT



And now lot of screenshot about what i exactly doing :

Truice - SmartAI of the creature


Truice - Creature Template


SQLYog - Gossip Menu


SQLYog - Gossip Menu Options 01


SQLYog - Gossip Menu Options 02


SQLYog - NPC Text



If someone can give a look, maybe you Amaroth if you come again in my thread, please help me
+ Download Link for the Taxis DBC's i've edited in attached files.

[Amaroth]

TaxiNodes.dbc. You missed last 2 columns, they define which mount (from creature_template) shall be used for you. First is for alliance players, second for horde. And don't be misled by WoWDev, I'm pretty sure its creature_template.entry and NOT displayID there. Gonna fix it.

[Namiriu]

Thanks this work nice now Sry for the mistake. Can i adapt and translate your tutorial for french community plz ?

[Amaroth]

You mean this way around?

You can, if you want to.
