Another little update,
Putting together the Website and Database now.
We have came to the conclusion, Due to people who try to harm and be complete knob heads things that its safe if we do go ahead with a Server handshake.
As overall its actually ALOT better allowing the server to hold the nodes.
and YES this still will be 100% free
Example of new sytem:
My example will be this, On old mapgen u had a database, which only updated if u ran DBUpdater.exe, And this would litrally take ages,
Why: Because it would decompile the MPQ and DBC files, Work out if the nodes under something, Check if its a bad node, then add to DB.
Opening 1 peice of WoW tile, per node [ 40k nodes ] is EXTREMLY time consuming, and u wouldnt always have the update DB, unless you ran it b4 MapGen.
What this does is, it will query the server to what zones u want to Generate a map with,
it will send ZoneID & Continent to the Server, To fetch a XML file with the LIVE update Objects logged in that server.
Hope that made sence
Database Structure is kinda complete [95%] other 5% is for the fact i know id of forgotten something, We have the base of it now,
LogObjects.aspx, Got to do A LOT of security checks and a lot of bullshit, but have started
Handshake.php, - Still awaiting
Silkybacon to finish the register page. [ Basically gives u a MD5 Key via email ]
ObjectRetreive.php -[ Will update fresh nodes off server each time u change zones ]
Logic behind this is, mapgen_main, is the MAIN db for all nodes that we have personally [Approved]
Why the Temp?
Each time a person finds a node, they will go into the mapgen_temp, In-case some 1 try's to fuck with our database.
Then from there ill be making a Cpanel or possibly a .exe for the *** to "Approve" nodes to main DB.
In saying this, This will require a connection to the server, Which atm we are trying to make it a website server and not have to use TCP or anything like that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In saying that, i am getting
Extremely close to needing testers and helpers to log new nodes,
I have decided a fresh DB is needed, Bye Bye old one with 40k nodes

, Starting fresh, and will be logging alot more then nodes this round
If you would like to help log some nodes, All you have to do is install plugin, and thats it, carry on with your buisness.
- Looking for Active Gather bot's, or archeology bots, You dont need to actually mind the nodes, just fly around.
