Azerothcore-wotlk: vmap4extractor.exe couldn't complete it's task.

[arielcami]

Current Behavior
When I start vmap4extractor.exe, it stops when it starts to extract objects.

Expected Blizzlike behavior.
Needless to say.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:

Get a clean client and after extracting maps/dbc, (as per the installation guide), execute vmaps4extractor.exe

EXTRA NOTES:

-My Client is located in disk D, not C.
-esMX language data.

AC HASH/COMMIT:

@arielcami thanks for your report, can you please checkout this version and see if it works?

Here the instructions:

1) git checkout a06bfa6e5b990d87f499f6671b93f098b47e3908
2) delete whatever you have already extracted
3) delete the extractors
4) re-run cmake with -DTOOLS=1
5) recompile
6) try use the newly-compiled extractors

see if it succeeds and please let us know.

@FrancescoBorzi Hi there,

I followed all of you steps. New extractor didn't work either.
Exactly the same error.

[FrancescoBorzi]

@arielcami that's weird, then I think it's probably something on your side. Are you using an official client or modified?

[arielcami]

I think so, but I'm still unable to locate de problem, I'm using a client downloaded form a private server.
It have some custom patches, but I always remove them before so the client is default when I use the tools.

Downloaded the latest master branch, and can verify that this issue is present. Tested with:

Game client: TrueWoW 3.3.5a (identical to vanilla's files)
VS Compiler: 2019 x64
LibSSL: 1_1-x64
LibCrypto: 1_1-x64
MySQL: 5.7

This issue is not present on my previous, older master branch download. Entering the command git log shows the following output for it:

Edit: Turns out the error is present on my old branch.

@FiftyTifty could you please also try this: https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/issues/3995#issuecomment-745373380 ?

So we can exclude the latest changes to the tools

After testing my old branch again, this time keeping an eye on vamp4extractor's console output, the error is present on it. I'll try an even older commit, to see how far back this issue goes.

[FrancescoBorzi]

@FiftyTifty thanks. If you think it was working fine before, it would be nice to catch which specific commit has broken it.

@FiftyTifty thanks. If you think it was working fine before, it would be nice to catch which specific commit has broken it.

So I've checked a few commits:

16/12/2020 - 38bf355bf479dd3ec13913fc565e6182a747a666

25/11/2020 - b9c78740d9b102cd6e42cc545eb05d6fceeefff5

25/09/2020 - e651196f6b464f0f8e1d47a9baea9d5b9d48c469

25/08/2020 - a9b90c9a07678bad11d3acc9c98564c4ffcda603

Now, while they all show the error, none of them stop processing. They all finish processing, which is different to @arielcami 's issue.

[Kitzunu]

This could be due to faulty clients missing files.

My tip: Test on a clean client

I Downloaded a clean client.
Pulled be4743b
cmake'd > compiled > same error after map 724.

[FiftyTifty]

@arielcami It's normal for the error to show. What isn't normal is for the processing to stop.

To make sure, download the TrueWoW client which has completely unmodified files.
