Admin and Config Appendix

A staff-only map of the live From the Ashes configuration: where each switch lives, what is currently on, what is deliberately off, and how to change it without breaking the player-facing rules.

Status: STAFF-ONLY — this page is written for administrators. It is not a player guide and should not be linked from player-facing instructions without a warning. Player status labels still apply: Live, Limited, Disabled, and Staff-only.

At a glance

• Live source of truth: Server/runtime/configs/worldserver.conf and Server/runtime/configs/modules/*.conf.
• Defaults only: *.conf.dist files and the source tree are reference, not live settings. Do not edit source to change the realm.
• Main config first: core switches live in worldserver.conf. Module settings load from modules/ after the main file.
• The catalog is a snapshot: 00–25 describe the live values below. If a switch changes, the matching player document and badge may need to change too.
• Several systems are intentionally off: Quartermaster Ledger, AuraTimers, .ah, .repair, BG bonus rewards, daily dungeon rewards, SoloLFG, NPCBotBanter, MapGoldMultiplier, Dynamic XP, and the NPCBot gear bank.
• Several “complete” systems still have content gaps: no remote Auction House, no Wintergrasp quartermaster spawn, no public Well of Eternity entrance, no Hall of Thanes encounters, and no Arena Commendation sink.
• Do not use the offline project MySQL as live event state. Read configs from the runtime directory, and query the running worldserver’s database when it is up.

How to use this appendix

1. Open the live file, not the .dist. Confirm the path starts with Server/runtime/configs/.
2. Find the owner of the switch. Some master switches live in worldserver.conf even when a module has its own config file.
3. Change one system at a time. Record the old value, the new value, and the reason.
4. Check dependencies. A module switch does nothing if the module is not loaded, the addon is disabled, or the client runtime is missing.
5. Reload or restart. Use .reload config for values read during configuration load; restart for startup-only state or cached module data.
6. Verify with a real command. Check the status command, then test with a non-GM character.
7. Update the docs. If player access changed, update the owning document, index.md, and 25-reference-commands-npcs-addons.md.

File map

Path	Scope	What it controls
Server/runtime/configs/worldserver.conf	Live core	Rates, level cap, starting money, PvP, arena, Wintergrasp, Auction House, repair command, instance reset, NPCBots, BonusLoot, TimeCycle, world discoveries, Oaths, Lightforged Warframe, gear bank, Quartermaster Ledger master switch.
Server/runtime/configs/authserver.conf	Live auth	Login, network, and auth-service settings. No gameplay balance switches.
Server/runtime/configs/modules/*.conf	Live modules	Module-specific features: progression, XP, loot, transmog, reforging, professions, travel, Timewalking, Auctionator, Pocket Pals, and similar.
Server/runtime/configs/modules/*.conf.dist	Reference	Shipped defaults. Do not edit expecting a live change.
Server/From_The_Ashes_Source/AzerothCore_Linux/	Source	Behavior that has no config switch. Read-only reference.
Client-Files/From_The_Ashes_Client/Interface/AddOns/	Client	Addon commands and client-side UI. Read-only for server administration.

Load order matters. Core settings load first; module files under configs/modules/ load afterward. Do not duplicate a master switch in both places unless the module explicitly documents it. QuartermasterLedger.Enable is the clearest example: it belongs in worldserver.conf, while quartermaster_ledger.conf only carries vendor lists.

Commands & UI

Use the server console or an authorized GM character. Player self-service commands are marked in the Scope column.

Command	Scope	Use
.reload config	Staff	Reload configuration values that are read during config load. Not a guarantee for every module cache.
.server info	Staff	Check core version and uptime before and after a change.
.ipstage get	Player / staff self	Show current and highest selectable progression stage.
.ipstage set <0-18>	Player / staff self	Switch among earned stages; stage 11 invalid.
.ipstage cost	Player / staff self	Report whether a stage change costs currency.
.ip get, .ip set <0-18>, .ip tele, .ip setbot, .ip setrep, .ip pvp, .ip attune	Staff	GM progression controls. .ip setrep is disabled.
.arena	Staff	Arena season and queue administration.
.auctionator status	Staff	Inspect Auctionator seller state.
.auctionator enable / .auctionator disable	Staff	Turn the server seller on or off.
.auctionator reloadorigins	Staff	Reload the item-origin manifest after data changes.
.auctionator add, auctionspercycle, bidonown, bidspercycle, expireall, multiplier, help	Staff	Seller and bidder administration.
/dloot clearcache	Player / staff	Clear the dynamic loot browser cache after loot-table changes.
`/dloot gmadd on	off`	Staff
.npcbot fix	Staff	Repair NPCBot state; not a player command.
.gobject add	Staff	Place a GameObject such as a discovery cache or raid access object.
.learn 250436	Staff	Teach the Lightforged Warframe spell. The chassis is 999130.
/wxl objects, /wxl object, /wxl go	Staff	WarcraftXL object-editor tools.
/azercoreops, /ro, /azops	Staff	AzerCore Ops; mutations require server authorization.

.ipstage is not the GM family. Players use .ipstage get|set|cost; staff targeting another character use .ip get|set|.... Do not teach players .ip tele, .ip attune, or the other staff subcommands.

Reload and diagnostics

1. Change the live runtime file. Keep a note of the old value.
2. Run .reload config. This is confirmed for configuration values read during load. Some module settings still require a worldserver restart.
3. Check the owning status command. .auctionator status for the seller, .ip get for a target’s stage, .ipstage get for your own, .server info for core health.
4. Refresh caches when data changed. Use /dloot clearcache after loot-table edits. Use .auctionator reloadorigins after item-origin edits.
5. Repair bot state with .npcbot fix. This is not a substitute for fixing spawn data.
6. Test with a normal character. GM accounts can see commands and interactions that players cannot.
7. Record the change. Update the player document, index.md, and 25-reference-commands-npcs-addons.md if access or status changed.

Restart when in doubt. A .reload config does not rebuild client addon state, re-seed map data, or guarantee that a module has re-read every cached value. If a switch appears to do nothing, verify the module loaded, then restart the worldserver before changing code.

Known admin traps

• Quartermaster Ledger has two files but one master switch. QuartermasterLedger.Enable is in worldserver.conf. The module file only carries ExtraVendors and ExcludedVendors.
• EnablePortable=1 is not portable transmog. Transmogrification.EnablePlus=0 disables the Plus feature. Do not “fix” a player report by pointing at EnablePortable alone.
• .ah and PaperDollAH are separate. CustomAuctionCommand.Enable=0 turns off the command; PaperDollAH hides itself because the command is off. Re-enabling one without checking the other produces a confusing half-feature.
• BonusLoot.Debug=1 is live. It is useful for diagnostics but noisy in play. Turn it off after verifying bonus rolls.
• DynamicLoot.RequireGM=0 is intentional. The browser is player-readable. Setting it to 1 disables the player-facing browser; do not do that as a “security” fix without changing 23.
• Fractional drop multipliers are probabilistic. ItemDropMultiplier values such as 1.5 do not mean every kill drops one and a half items.
• WorldDiscoveries.XPMultiplier=10.0 is high. Lowering it changes discovery XP only; the once-per-spawn claim and loot behavior remain. 0 disables discovery XP entirely.
• Oaths rewards are character-earned. LevelingChallenges.AccountWideRewards=0. Do not describe them as account-wide.
• NpcBot.MaxBots is a comma list. The live string is 4,4,4,4,39,39,39,39,39; do not flatten it to a single number without understanding the level brackets.
• Auctionator is not a full Auction House. Armor/weapons, enchants, WotLK items, and custom items are excluded by default. Seller stock is deliberately category- and expansion-weighted.
• The Wintergrasp battle and the Wintergrasp vendor are different systems. The battle is enabled; the quartermaster templates have no confirmed spawn.
• The Well of Eternity and Hall of Thanes are content gaps, not missing config toggles. There is no public Well entrance and no Hall encounter state. Staff placement is required.
• RDF is forced to TBC. RDF.Expansion=1 means Wrath dungeon queues follow TBC rules. Do not promise a full Wrath Random Dungeon Finder.
• .ipstage is player-facing. The staff command family is .ip. This distinction is easy to lose in old notes.
• Do not trust offline MySQL for live event state. The project database may be stale or offline. Query the running worldserver’s database when it is up.

Admin note

The runtime configuration is the authority for this appendix. Source files are read-only reference for behavior that has no live switch. Client addon files are read-only for server administration. Do not edit source, client, or Downloads files to change a live value.

When a switch changes:

• Update the owning player document if access, rewards, or limits changed.
• Update index.md if a badge or catalog description changed.
• Update 25-reference-commands-npcs-addons.md if a command or NPC became available, unavailable, or changed audience.
• Re-check data snapshots before publishing counts: discovery templates/spawns, Auctionator seller caps, Timewalking map count, RDF limits, and addon counts.
• Keep .ipstage and .ip separate. .ipstage get|set|cost is player-facing; .ip is the GM family.
• Keep disabled labels honest. Quartermaster Ledger, AuraTimers, .ah, .repair, BG bonus rewards, daily dungeon rewards, SoloLFG, NPCBotBanter, MapGoldMultiplier, Dynamic XP, and the NPCBot gear bank are off unless this appendix and the player docs are changed together.
