Building Modules (Optional)

To build and install optional modules:

# Navigate to the repository directory
cd ~/SylCore-WoTLK

# Make sure the build directory exists
mkdir -p build
cd build

# Configure the build with CMake for modules
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/SylCore -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ -DWITH_WARNINGS=1 -DSCRIPTS=static -DMODULES=static

# Compile and install SylCore (replace 4 with the number of CPU cores you want to use)
make -j4 && make install

# Set up module configuration files
cd ~/SylCore/etc/modules
for file in *.conf.dist; do
    if [ ! -f "${file%.conf.dist}.conf" ]; then
        cp "$file" "${file%.conf.dist}.conf"
        echo "Created module config file: ${file%.conf.dist}.conf"
    else
        echo "Module config file already exists: ${file%.conf.dist}.conf - keeping existing configuration"
    fi
done

# Return to the home directory
cd ~/

Updating SylCore

To update SylCore to the latest version:

# First, properly stop any running servers
if tmux has-session -t worldserver 2>/dev/null; then
    tmux send-keys -t worldserver "server shutdown" C-m
    echo "Sent shutdown command to worldserver, waiting 30 seconds..."
    sleep 30
fi

if tmux has-session -t authserver 2>/dev/null; then
    tmux send-keys -t authserver "exit" C-m
    echo "Sent exit command to authserver, waiting 5 seconds..."
    sleep 5
fi

# Verify servers are stopped
if tmux has-session -t worldserver 2>/dev/null || tmux has-session -t authserver 2>/dev/null; then
    echo "Warning: Some servers might still be running. Please stop them manually before continuing."
    echo "You can check running sessions with: tmux ls"
fi

# Create a backup
mkdir -p ~/SylCore/backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
cp -r ~/SylCore/etc/*.conf ~/SylCore/backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)/

# Navigate to the repository directory
cd ~/SylCore-WoTLK

# Get the latest changes
git fetch origin
git pull origin master  # or whatever branch you're using

# Rebuild SylCore
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/SylCore -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ -DWITH_WARNINGS=1 -DSCRIPTS=static -DMODULES=static
