Hardcore

Module to make our life harder while playing wow (because why not?)

This module allows you to configure the following:

• If a grave with a custom message should spawn on player death
• If the player should drop gear, bag items and/or gold when dying (also for bots if playerbots are enabled)
• If the above loot should spawn when dying in a fancy chest
• The amount of loot allowed to spawn after multiple deaths (the oldest loot will disappear)
• If the player should lose levels/xp when dying
• If the player is allowed to revive after death
• If the player should auto revive in the nearest graveyard instead of running back to the corpse as a ghost

Available Cores

Classic, TBC and WoTLK

How to install

1. Follow the instructions in https://github.com/davidonete/cmangos-modules?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-install
2. Enable the BUILD_MODULE_HARDCORE flag in cmake and run cmake. The module should be installed in src/modules/hardcore
3. Copy the configuration file from src/modules/hardcore/src/hardcore.conf.dist.in and place it where your mangosd executable is. Also rename it to hardcore.conf.
4. Remember to edit the config file and modify the options you want to use.
5. Lastly you will have to install the database changes located in the src/modules/hardcore/sql/install folder, each folder inside represents where you should execute the queries. E.g. The queries inside of src/modules/hardcore/sql/install/world will need to be executed in the world/mangosd database, the ones in src/modules/hardcore/sql/install/characters in the characters database, etc...

How to uninstall

To remove the hardcore module from your server you have multiple options, the first and easiest is to disable it from the hardcore.conf file. The second option is to completely remove it from the server and db:

1. Remove the BUILD_MODULE_HARDCORE flag from your cmake configuration and recompile the game
2. Execute the sql queries located in the src/modules/hardcore/sql/uninstall folder. Each folder inside represents where you should execute the queries. E.g. The queries inside of src/modules/hardcore/sql/uninstall/world will need to be executed in the world/mangosd database, the ones in src/modules/hardcore/sql/uninstall/characters in the characters database, etc...
