Before proceeding, please make sure that you have compiled your sources and they are up-to-date. |
Since this commit we introduced a new and automatic way of installing and keeping the databases up-to-date.
This is described in more detail in the following instructions.
Contents |
Download the latest database compilation from TrinityCore Downloads (you may need to click on Next at page footer to see the proper TDB files).
Click the database release you want to download, scroll down to the bottom and you should see a link to download TDB_full_*.7z the green Download button on top right next to right column.
Usually there are multiple .sql files to choose from in the .7z archive. If this is your first time installing TrinityCore, you will ONLY need the file/s with the name starting by "TDB_full" on the directory where your worldserver binary is located. (the files inside updates are made to update from older TDB revisions without having to apply every file if you have autoupdater disabled and you don't update between TDB releases (NOT RECOMMENDED)). |
To create the MySQL databases needed by Trinity, you need to execute the following MySQL queries:
You can perform this with a MySQL client or with the MySQL command-line interface (CLI).
You would need to use one MySQL root account before starting core to run one of those files (use MySQL root only to import one of those files, never run core as root or administrator).
TIP: edit those 2 files and change default password to something else for increased security (remember to edit conf files to use new password).
Trinity needs three databases to run at 3.3.5 branch and four for master - Auth, Characters, World and hotfixes (master only):
From the unpacked 7z folder copy the SQL files that start with "TDB_world_" and "TDB_hotfixes_" (6.x branch only) to the directory where your worldserver binary is (DON'T RENAME THOSE FILES OR AUTOMATIC SETUP WILL FAIL).
NOTICE: you don't need to import any databases, only the file creating users. If you have plans to import databases manually you need to disable autoupdater on config files.
If you have plans to change default mysql usernames and passwords make sure you have set valid database login information and the table names you want to use in the same config files (authserver/bnetserver/worldserver.conf) under "CONNECTIONS AND DIRECTORIES".
Start worldserver and press enter when it asks if you want to create databases.
|
After the server has created the databases it will look for maps and vmaps, if not found it will exit.
You will need to restart your server authserver/bnetserver if you made any changes to your reamlist table. |
Both core and DB fixes will be committed to the TrinityCore repository, which you may also view in Git Extensions by following the "Fetch" instructions in Keeping the Source Up-to-Date Windows / Linux. Pending fixes can be found on our tracker with data from the developers and contributors.
Note: You can run the following query on the World database to see your current DB and core revision:
This assumes that you have completed the previous steps of the installation guide. Note: If you have made any custom changes to your database, you may wish to backup (export) all three of them (world, characters, and auth) before performing the next few steps.
|
Thanks to the automatic DB updater the single step you have to do, is to fetch a new revision (Keeping the Source Up-to-Date Windows / Linux) and the appropriate updates will we applied at server startup.
