[TC] [AC] [Bug/Crash] [Group/Spell/Core] Missing columns in table

• I understand that my issue may get closed without notice if I intentionally remove or skip any mandatory* field

Current behaviour

The latest core update (January 2026) fails to start due to a SQL Error 1054. The system is looking for specific columns in the Wandering Bots movement table that are neither present in the base TDB nor provided in the sql/updates folder.

Error Log: [1054] Unknown column 'minwaittime' in 'field list' (Note: Also occurs for 'maxwaittime' and 'proximity' during execution).

Affected Table: creature_template_npcbot_wander_nodes

Missing Columns:

minwaittime (int)

maxwaittime (int)

proximity (float/int)

Additional Note: Existing update scripts do not cover these changes, forcing a manual fix to allow the worldserver to initialize properly.

Unfortunately currently TC npcbots-related updates have to be applied manually. SQL files you want to apply are located in sql/Bots/updates/:

• world/2026_01_07_creature_template_wander_nodes.sql
• world/2026/01_15_npc_text.sql
• characters/2026_01_15_characters_npcbot.sql
