Modules not loaded?

[mindit]

Hi, I created a server on docker and everything is working perfectly.. except.. I can't seem to load/enable any modules in the server.
I place the modules I want in the ./modules map, and when recompiling I don't get any errors. But when I start the server, no modules are loaded/enabled (except for the standard mod-eluna). Am I missing something? Can someone help me out?

Hi!
Sorry to be late :(

The modules must be cloned in your <core>/modules folder. For example, if you git cloned the Azerothcore WotLK without any changes in the command line, then the folder should be like this: </path/to/the/git/cloned/folder>/azerothcore-wotlk

Then you have to clone the modules you want. First go into the modules folder: cd ./modules

Next, launch the command to clone a module. For example, 'Transmog': git clone https://github.com/azerothcore/mod-transmog.git
This will create a new folder: azerothcore-wotlk/modules/mod-transmog

When you cloned all the modules you want, you have to get back on the azerothcore-wotlk root folder, then create a build subfolder: mkdir build && cd build

Next, launch the pre-make command:
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/_AZEROTHCORE_/server/ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ -DWITH_WARNINGS=1 -DAPPS_BUILD=all -DTOOLS_BUILD=all -DSCRIPTS=static -DMODULES=static

This command will check if all is OK for compilation, including mods. If you don't do this each time you clone a new mod, you can recompile many times as it will not see the new mods, until you launch this command again!
NOTE: DON'T COPY MINE AS IS, AS IT IS A CUSTOM CONFIG! YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= VALUE ACCORDING TO YOUR SYSTEM AND WHERE YOU WANT TO INSTALL YOUR WOTLK SERVER!

Finally, launch the compile command: make -j X (where X is the number of cores you want to use for the compilation. Maximum value: 8).
It may be long, depending on your computer, as it compiles the core with all the modules you downloaded.

Last step: make install
This will install the Core (worldserver / authserver / .conf.dist / etc.) in the folder you specified earlier.

Don't forget to:

1. create the mod.conf file by copying the .conf.dist default one. You will find these files in your server folder, here: </path/to/the/server/folder>/etc/modules
2. change the values in these .conf files according to what you want (some doesn't need to be modified)
3. inject SQL Scripts. Some mods need you to import SQL before launching worldserver. You will find them inside the azerothcore-wotlk/modules/mod-transmog/sql/ or newly azerothcore-wotlk/modules/mod-transmog/data/sql

When done, test each executables by launching them alone. Like: ./authserver or ./worldserver
If all is working, they may update your database with latest SQL Files updates

Now, you should be able to play with your mods enabled.

Have fun!

NOTE:
Don't forget to check the make install final log as it will tell you if some files were updated (you will see "installed"), specially the .conf.dist
This means that you will have to check between your current .conf and the new .conf.dist and adjust yours with the new entries inside the new .conf.dist file. Don't change your own values but add the ones in the .conf.dist in your .conf file :)
If you don't do this, the module may not work properly, or the worldserver may crash at launch.
You can easily check differencies between files with Notepad++ (MS Windows) by adding the 'compare plus' plugin. To do so, in the app, click on the menu: 'Plugins > Plugins Admin... > ComparePlus'. This will close and reopen Notepad++ with new buttons

Just open the two files, then click on the second icon. This will launch the compare tool.

Thank you for your help!

When executing the first cmake command I get below error (at the end):

CMake Error in src/server/database/CMakeLists.txt:
Imported target "mysql" includes non-existent path

"MYSQL_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND"

in its INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES. Possible reasons include:

• The path was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

• An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

• The installation package was faulty and references files it does not
  provide.

-- Generating done (0.2s)
CMake Generate step failed. Build files cannot be regenerated correctly.

I guess this is a problem? ;-)
By the way, I want to (trying to) (re-)install it on docker. It worked perfectly before (except for the mods)

Likely you don't have mysql setup but these questions are better to ask in Discord https://discord.gg/kamyY9uc additionally you can follow guides here to include community guides https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/installation
