Hi! i have a couple of questions:


1.- Should i create a new patch, like a "Patch-X.MPQ" for the DBC and interface files? or should i repack them into the original WOW files? I tried making it as a "Patch-X", but wow just won't start. gives me an "interface files damaged, reinstall" message. Of course, if i remove the patch, wow works just fine. (Version 3.3.5a). Removing the XML file from the patch seems to correct this, but when y try to create a character, the game will crash.
-Edit: Yes, i've already removed the wow.exe lua-xml edit protection.

2.- Before making this patch, you say that i need to prepare the model. That means, the "blocked" races dont have a model assigned? i haven't done anything before this tutorial, so that might explain some of the crashes that i am getting.

Thanks in advance.

You did this?

Code: [Select]
if ( name == "FelOrc" or name == "FELORC" ) then
name = "Orc";
elseif ( name == "Goblin" or name == "GOBLIN" ) then
name = "Orc";
end

Hi.
(Sorry if this question to stupid)

I want to make Blood Elves on Alliance side. I make changes in ChrRaces.dbc.  In 8th column change 1 to 7(for alliance). Other values(in other files) are already exist and correct(as I can understand ). But, when I connect to server and make new char, it was steel on the horde side. When I tread to write somethings to chat or speak to any nps, it write me that i don't know this language.

Please help me, what's wrong?

I'm having a couple issues, First of all, I can't edit CharBaseInfo.dbc. It says it's unsupported, but I can edit any other dbc file.
Also, after I edit the .lua fand .xml files I get an error when launching wow.(I'm not sure if it's from the check removal or the editing of these files) but it says something about destructible model data or something not having enough columns. expected 19, returned 17.

Try an other DBC editor like MYDBCEditor form the resources.

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 :
