Acore_Sortmachine
Make sure you have decent backups! Do not run the .SQL file it produces on a live server without testing.
- Please report your findings if you try it. Thank you!
- Credits to Disclosurez for large scale testing.
This script is supposed to read your unique guid's in item_instance and their references in character_inventory, guild_bank_item, mail_items and possibly customs, then create a sql script named "sortguid.sql" in your worldserver.exe directory which sorts items to start from 1, counting up without gaps. Running it repeatedly will skip creating SQL commands on already sorted items, until a single gap is occured in the servers db. It checks for inconsistencies from broken items and removes all references for non existant item guids in guild_bank_item, mail_items and character_inventory.
Alternative use: Set ItemLimit = 1 and run .sortguid. This will create a SQL file which does only fixes. No sorting.
Small scale tested and proven working with character backpack + bags, bank, bank bags, guild bank and mail.
Requirements:
Compile your Azerothcore with Eluna Lua.
Add this script to your ../bin/release/lua_scripts/ directory.
Usage:
- Close the worldserver to make sure no player has been active since it started and all changes are written to the db.
- Run the worldserver standalone. Do not have players on the server. Do not have anything active which could potentially create items.
- Type
.sortguidinto the console (recommended) or optionaly on an ingame client with sufficient rights. - Close the worldserver
- Run the "sortguid.sql" file which was created in your directory where worldserver.exe resides.
Settings in the .lua file:
Schemename = "acore_characters"
Change this to the name of your character database.
ConsoleOnly = true
If this is true the .sortguid command will not work ingame but only from the world server console
MinGMRank = 4
Staff must have at least this rank to use .sortguid
PrintProgress = 1000
How often the console or chat should print progression. 1000 means every 1000th item. Skipped or written doesn't matter, both are counted.
ItemLimit = 0
For testing. Script will stop after the # of items below.
- 0 = no limit
- 1 = only fixes, no items
- 2+ = # of items to sort
StartFromGuid = 1
The lowest item guid to sort. Don't start at 1 if there are few gaps.
SearchForGapsFrom = 1
The lowest guid to scan for gaps. Don't start at 1 if there are few gaps.
ChangeCustom = false
If there is a custom table e.g. from a transmog module this must be set to true or all affected items will be lost/bugged
table.insert(CustomTableNames, 1, "Test_table1")
table.insert(CustomColumnNames, 1, "Test_column1")
Insert your custom tables name and column here. You can add an unlimited (in theory) number of custom spots, as long as there is a column and a table for each custom spot.
