Upcoming Project Enhancements

[Meltie2013]

Yup, that's right upcoming enhancement for MangosVB!

Over the years, we been making a ton of fixes and updates to the project. I would love to make a enhancement plan for the future of the project. Lets get some lists going here!

Authentication Updates:

Over time, we have updated the authentication method to support Mangos C++ (Vanilla) Authentication, but there are some major issues with the system for Visual Basic.

Proposed To Do List:

• Rewrite Authentication Service for better structuring.
• Make sure all authentication packets are correctly sent and update properly.
• Finish implementing functions for RealmList packets/reconnect methods for receiving updates.
• Implement character tracking for accounts. (Currently has a table, not being used)
• Implement realm uptime tracking. (Currently has a table, not being used)
• Fix ban message on login. Displaying incorrect packets for suspended accounts as closed accounts.
• Fix authentication bypass, this will be a port over from Mangos C++.

Game World Updates:

When starting MangosVB over 4 years ago, we wanted to port over Mangos C++ (Vanilla) world database, so it was compatible with both versions of the project. A lot of was said that day, but couldn't find it again. So lets start with the basics for now.

Proposed To Do List:

• Rewrite all current commands in the project so they work 100%, specially important ones.
• Finish fixing the Auction House System so it works correctly. (Working Percentage 56%)
• Rewrite Mail System, not working correctly and displays attached items incorrectly.
• Finish implementing Guild System. (Working Percentage 0%)
• Finish implementing Party/Raid Group methods. Currently causing crashes when party members are on different map nodes. Packets are being dropped by the Cluster Service or World Service.
• Finish fixing the Quest System, currently broken and incomplete. (Working Percentage 13%)
• Rewrite Battleground System to support game modes. Currently semi-working at this time.
• Correct all Creature and Game Objects in the world. Tons are incorrectly spawned and missing.
• Implement Game Event System. Currently not supported.
• Fix logout methods for players. Currently displaying 20 second logout time inside cities and safe zones.
• Fix Who's List so it displays the correct information on a players location.

Miscellaneous Changes:

• Update & Rewrite Logging Methods to support a better method.
• Update all SQL stuff to support own on board libraries.

More enhancements will be added over time.
