[TUTORIAL] Add a new race

[Khira]

So, I'll explain how to add a race. Warning, we will not cover the preparation of the model but the introduction of race IG.

For this we take as support races already made by Blizzard but inactive. We will see how to add the race of Goblins and Fel Orcs.

• Warning
  
  I'm using version 3.3.2a of World of Warcraft and a core MaNGOS 3.3.2a for my changes. Perhaps, you will need to adapte modifications.

[/li]
[li]Reminder

When you edit a DBC file, you will also copy/paste the file in your server dbc folder.

[/li]
[li]Information

When you edit a file, always take the most recent, ie one who is in the patch

[official] with the highest number.[/list]

[/li]
[li]Information

The interface files and DBCs are in /Data/frFR/. The models, textures, maps, ... are in /Data/

Changing the screen character creation

In this step, we will see only how change the display of character creation. At the end, the icons will be available with descriptions, etc ....

Open ChrRaces.dbc and modify the lines in connection with race Goblin and Fel Orcs.
Find :
[spoiler:154yd541]

Code: [Select]

9,1,1,0x0,6894,6895,"Go",7,7,15007,0x448,"Goblin",0,0x2,,,"Gobelin",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,"Gobeline",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,,,"Gobelin",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,"NORMAL","NONE","NORMAL",0,
12,5,1,0x0,16981,16980,"Fo",7,7,15007,0x448,"FelOrc",0,0x2,,,"Gangr'orc",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,"Gangr'orque",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,,,"Gangr'orc",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,"NORMAL","NORMAL","NORMAL",0,[/spoiler:154yd541]

2nd column, it must change by 12 for the race is playable.
4th column defines the faction of the race, see Faction.dbc
8th column, 1 for horde and 7 for alliance.

For exemple :
[spoiler:154yd541]

Code: [Select]

9,12,1,4140,6894,6895,"Go",1,7,15007,0x448,"Goblin",0,0x2,,,"Gobelin",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,"Gobeline",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,,,"Gobelin",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,"NORMAL","NONE","NORMAL",0,
12,12,1,4141,16981,16980,"Fo",7,7,15007,0x448,"FelOrc",0,0x2,,,"Gangr'orc",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,"Gangr'orque",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,,,"Gangr'orc",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,"NORMAL","NORMAL","NORMAL",0,[/spoiler:154yd541]


Then open CharBaseInfo.dbc, this file determines the pairs race / class.
We will for now keep it simple and add two lines to the file:

Code: [Select]

9,1,
12,1,

9 and 12 are the IDs of both races and 1 the ID of the warrior. Only warriors can be created for the moment, you can add other combinations if you want.

Then to edit the following files without problems when starting WoW.exe, we must apply this tutorial. It must be a IDA to remove the check file integrity Interface of World of Warcraft :
http://yias.de/forum/f62/lua-xml-check-der-wow-exe-entfernen-808/

Once done, open the following files :
InterfaceGlueXMLGlueStrings.lua (Data/frFR/patch-frFR-3.MPQ)
InterfaceGlueXMLCharacterCreate.lua (Data/frFR/patch-frFR-2.MPQ)
InterfaceGlueXMLCharacterCreate.xml (Data/frFR/patch-frFR-2.MPQ)
I said the filepath where I found them but we must always take the most recent.


In GlueStrings.lua :
Find :

Code: [Select]

RACE_CHANGE_IN_PROGRESS = "Mise à jour de la race...";
Add after :

Code: [Select]

RACE_INFO_GOBLIN = "Informations sur les Gobelins.";
RACE_INFO_GOBLIN_FEMALE = "Informations sur les Gobelines.";
RACE_INFO_FELORC = "Informations sur les Gangr'orcs.";
RACE_INFO_FELORC_FEMALE = "Informations sur les Gangr'orques.";

Find :

Code: [Select]

ABILITY_INFO_BLOODELF1 = "- Compétence Enchantement améliorée.";
Add before :

Code: [Select]

ABILITY_INFO_GOBLIN1 = "- Compétence Gobelins, ligne 1";
ABILITY_INFO_GOBLIN2 = "- Compétence Gobelins, ligne 2";
ABILITY_INFO_GOBLIN3 = "- Compétence Gobelins, ligne 3";
ABILITY_INFO_GOBLIN4 = "- Compétence Gobelins, ligne 4";
ABILITY_INFO_FELORC1 = "- Compétence Gangr'Orcs, ligne 1";

ABILITY_INFO_FELORC3 = "- Compétence Gangr'Orcs, ligne 3";
ABILITY_INFO_FELORC4 = "- Compétence Gangr'Orcs, ligne 4";
Lines change according to your desires, they appear when selecting characters.

At this step you should have your 2 races select on the character creation.

[MaNGOS] Core changes

• Reminder
  
  I use a core MaNGOS 3.3.2a, you'll need to adjust this step with your version of MaNGOS or if you use another emulator.

Display helmets


Open ChrRaces.dbc :
At the 7th column, you have the abbreviation of the race, eg Go for GOBLIN. This abbreviation is actually only used for display helmet. You can modify an abbreviation of existing race for the helmets appear, for example by replacing Hu.

Problem: The helmets are misplaced, such as too forward, too high, etc. ... To fix this, simply move the Attachment Point No. 11 (which corresponds to the placement of the helmet) on two M2 model race (GoblinMale.m2 and GoblinFemale.m2 for example). You can use Mod-It for this.

There are other more "clean" way to fix helmets but longer.

[Khira]

Activating languages and skills

Basically, you can not learn language or skills. Indeed, the game uses a verification which is configured for each Skills. We will have to modify all the skills you'll want that the race will be use.

We'll take the example of the Common Language (Skill n°98).
Open SkillLineAbility.dbc :
Find :

590,98,668,1101,0,,,1,0,0x2,0,0,,,

We must consider the 4th column, the 1101 value. Transform this number into binary (eg with http://www.michelcarrare.com/demos/converter.php) You will find in our case:
10001001101
Every "1" allows the Skill for the race with ID equal to the position :

Code: [Select]

IDRace : 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1
          1    0   0   0   1   0   0   1   1   0   1

It is necessary to put 1 for the ID of your race. For the goblin, its ID 9, so we have:

Code: [Select]

IDRace : 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1
          1    0   1   0   1   0   0   1   1   0   1
Then just reprocess this new value in decimal :
(bin)10101001101 = (dec)1357
So, we have this :

Code: [Select]

590,98,668,1357,0,,,1,0,0x2,0,0,,,

• Hey! And if my ID is 14 to the race? How can I do?
  
  
  Well it is the same way, by adding 0:
  
  Code: [Select]
  IDRace : 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1
          1    0    0    1    0   0   0   1   0   0   1   1   0   1
  

[/li][/list]


Open SkillRaceClassInfo.dbc :
Find :

40,98,1101,1535,0x80,0x0,0,0x0,

You see the 1101 in the 3rd column? Do as above.

• Reminder
  
  You must do this for all Skills that you want to allow.

Activating reputations

Open Faction.dbc :
For example, suppose we want allow reputation Stormwind for Goblin, find :

72,19,1100,690,0x1,0x0,0,0,0x0,0x0,3100,-42000,4000,0,0x111,6,0x11,0x0,469,1.0,0.25,7,5,,,"Hurlevent",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,"Cette capitale de l’Alliance est l’un des derniers bastions de la puissance des humains. Elle est gouvernée par le roi Varian Wrynn, revenu après une disparition mystérieuse.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,

Well take this part of the line :

Code: [Select]

 1100,     690,      0x1,      0x0,[...]   3100,              -42000,          4000,0,
Races 1 | Races 2 | Races 3 | Races 4 | Rep for races 1 | Rep for races 2 | Rep for races 3 ...You understand? 1100 corresponds to all races of the alliance except humans who begin the game with 3,100 reputation. 690 races is the hord, they begin with -42,000 and finally 1 for humans starting with 4000.
So if we want Goblins (ID 9) can start with 3100 (and that reputation is allowed to be used for this race and saved by the server), you must edit 1100 by 1356 (detailed explanations in the activation of languages and skills).
We must do this for all Reputations. No worries, using "Replace All" with your favorite text editor, it will save time.
For example: 1791 means all races of the alliance. So if the goblin is in the alliance, we must add to all the "1791" be replaced 1791 by 2047. Then do manual handling to the capitals (as Stormwind).

That's all for the moment !

Races operational! Good luck.

• Important : With this, you will not have a complete race, you need to edit more and more files to have a "Blizzlike race".
  If you find any improvements or bugs, thank you for the report.

To bad They didn't Make the +Cookies/Rep Button yet..

This realy deserves My Rep ! ++

I was looking for a Tutorial like this for a long time

Thanks Alot

[Eluo]

Yeah thanks a lot for this!
Great tutorial , well written and sure good for ppl who would like to add a new race.
We won't add a rep system because we think that this destroyed the modding community^^
Modding is fun and you gain much from it. As we see someone who really contributes good stuff, he will get a special rank. We created many individual ranks for this
Tutorials , showoffs and so on are a good way to gain such a special rank!
