- It is _strongly_ recommended to extensively test the recent changes before applying them to live data
- To fully resync the character db layout with TC releases it is recommended to dump the characters table with
mysqldump --no-data characters > characters_database_livedata.sql
and use a diff tool to compare it against sql/base/characters_database.sql
There is a chance that you will be getting importing errors / data truncation warnings because of ancient invalid pet names.
SELECT * FROM character_pet WHERE CHAR_LENGTH(`name`) > 21;
- MySQL numeric types can NOT be altered in value range or or storage size at all, so things like INT(32) are entirely pointless. As TC currently doesn't use the display width of numeric types, use the default width to avoid confusion. (see MySQL numeric types docs)
- Timestamps can be stored as INT(10) UNSIGNED. As the max value of this type is 4294967295 which translates into year 2106 using it as timestamp we are NOT affected by the year 2038 bug. If the timestamp needs to be negative in some cases, i.e. for displaying infinity using -1, use BIGINT(20) instead.
- Do NOT set ROW_FORMAT for InnoDB tables unless you specifically want COMPRESSED tables (which we don't for performance reasons). MySQL will chose the appropriate ROW_FORMAT by itself depending on the innodb_file_format setting of the server. (FIXED is only available for MyISAM)
- Even though VARCHAR does require less storage space than CHAR for values with variable length, the length still needs to be chosen wisely as this doesn't apply to memory consumption.
Anyway the map is not yet playable, there are issues not related with the script.
I also want to thanks to QAston, linencloth, Shauren and Machiavelli to be so patient with my questions.
1) Fix Leeching Swarm damage and create spell difficulty links to code. Closes issue #4909 .
2) Fix Valkyr's Touch. Closes issue #4553 .
3) Fix Permafrost aura difficulty check.
4) Reduce Slime Pool damage range.
5) Avoid Shaman Champion Heroism spam using 5 minutes (CD) as timer.
6) Fix many spell target selection to only select players (no more totens or pets).
7) Fix Anub'arak Spike being able to receibe the permafrost aura in order to cast spike fail, hopefully.
Core/AuraScript:
Fix compile time check for AuraScript functions
Remove AuraApplication from hook functions parameter list, use GetTarget() and GetTargetApplication() instead
Add OnEffectAbsorb hook
Scripts: move handlers of Spell Deflection, Savage Defense, Primal Tenacity, Nerves of Steel, Astral shift from core to scripts.

This will allow you to disable spells on certain maps/areas. Note that you must have at least flag SPELL_DISABLE_PLAYER or SPELL_DISABLE_CREATURE or SPELL_DISABLE_PET set too, as they take preference.
The parameters for mapIds and areaIds are defined in new columns params_0 and params_1 respectively, in a comma-seperated string.
Example:
INSERT INTO disables VALUES(0, 8921, (1+16+32), "571,1", "1519", "Moonfire Example");
This will disable spell moonfire for players in maps 571,1 and area 1519.

*** TO PRESERVE (COPY) THE DATA CONTAINED IN THE OLD TABLES, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING SQL-RECIPE (REPLACE DATABASENAMES WHERE NEEDED!) ***
-- Move creature_respawn from world to characters db
INSERT INTO `characters`.`creature_respawn` (`guid`, `respawntime`, `instance`)
SELECT `guid, `respawntime` `instance` * FROM `world`.`creature_respawn`;
-- Remove creature_respawn table from world db
DROP TABLE `world`.`creature_respawn`;
-- Move gameobject_respawn from world to characters db
INSERT INTO `characters`.`gameobject_respawn` (`guid`, `respawntime`, `instance`)
SELECT `guid`, `respawntime`, `instance` FROM `world`.`gameobject_respawn`;
-- Remove creature_respawn table from world db
DROP TABLE `world`.`gameobject_respawn`;
-- Move reserved names from world to characters db
INSERT INTO `characters`.`reserved_name` (`name`)
SELECT `name` FROM `world`.`reserved_name`;
-- Remove reserved_names table from world db
DROP TABLE `world`.`reserved_name`;
*** THE ABOVE MUST BE DONE, OR EXISTING INSTANCES WILL BE FULLY RESPAWNED - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ***
Closes issue 4842. Closes issue 4849.
