Changes Proposed:

After running my server for several months, I recently discovered the errors log it generated was several gigabytes large.
This because of a single line worldserver.conf.dist, where by default the errors log just keeps getting needlessly bigger and bigger.
The default behavior is now changed so that the log gets overwritten on server reboot, just like other logs.

This PR proposes changes to:

  • Core (units, players, creatures, game systems).
  • Scripts (bosses, spell scripts, creature scripts).
  • Database (SAI, creatures, etc).

Issues Addressed:

  • Closes

SOURCE:

The changes have been validated through:

  • Live research (checked on live servers, e.g Classic WotLK, Retail, etc.)
  • Sniffs (remember to share them with the open source community!)
  • Video evidence, knowledge databases or other public sources (e.g forums, Wowhead, etc.)
  • The changes promoted by this pull request come partially or entirely from another project (cherry-pick). Cherry-picks must be committed using the proper --author tag in order to be accepted, thus crediting the original authors, unless otherwise unable to be found

Tests Performed:

Tested on a Debian server. Changes work as expected.

This PR has been:

  • Tested in-game by the author.
  • Tested in-game by other community members/someone else other than the author/has been live on production servers.

How to Test AzerothCore PRs

When a PR is ready to be tested, it will be marked as [WAITING TO BE TESTED].

You can help by testing PRs and writing your feedback here on the PR's page on GitHub. Follow the instructions here:

http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/How-to-test-a-PR

REMEMBER: when testing a PR that changes something generic (i.e. a part of code that handles more than one specific thing), the tester should not only check that the PR does its job (e.g. fixing spell XXX) but especially check that the PR does not cause any regression (i.e. introducing new bugs).

For example: if a PR fixes spell X by changing a part of code that handles spells X, Y, and Z, we should not only test X, but we should test Y and Z as well.
