You seriously should NOT be messing with that unless you are a bit of an expert.
Even I don't ever mess with those core files like database control stuff if i can help it. One wrong bit of code and the entire server is dead, possibly irretrievably so.

You just overwrote all the original values that were being copied into the CDatabase object.
Those values need to be passed into the new database object via the list of objects included in the function call

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

1. CDatabase::CDatabase( char* server , char* username, char* password, char* database, unsigned int port , MYSQL* mysql)

Note char* server is a char array (kind of a string but more primitive) and NOT the word localhost which means absolutely nothing to the C++ compiler. If you had written it as "127.0.0.1" (including the speech marks) it might just have worked but I kind of doubt it. The code is expecting a char array rather than a string so chances are it would just die.

Same for Username, Password and Database.
Strangely, the Port value 3306 will most like actually work in the way that you coded it. The others though, They aren't even going to let you compile in the present format (thankfully) If it did compile like this your server would like be completely ruined until you put it all back the way it was.

The CDatabase constructor needs to take inputs so that all these values remain variable. The are initially read in from the .conf files in your server binary folder. That's where you edit your database info. NOT in a highly sensitive bit of core code.

My best advice here is to undo all the changes that you made in this file and then recompile the server. And i mean ALL. If you leave any change at all in there, however tiny, chances are your code base is screwed forever. Might be best to just download the server source and start over.
just remember all your editing should be in the CONF files, not the code.

I've never used one that was publicly released as I would rather create a new one whenever I need to. I've built several over the years but I've never so much as looked at the one you are using.

Just from the error though, it looks as if it is attempting to load in a file which contains the current patch number and for some reason that number is coming in as zero.
That could be because the file is missing?
It could be because it's not reading the files location properly?
It may be that the file actually does contain a revision number of zero.

I have no way to know without spending hours going through the source code of the CMS and I'm sorry but I have absolutely no interest or intention of doing that.

Is that thing actually a CMS anyway? or is it a launcher? It kind of looks like NeonCube with a skin.
A true CMS is a website and I don't know of any that are able to actually launch the game from a website.
