What DBC editor are you using?  I never got that error with MyDBCEditor, but I have seen it with other ones.

Dont use that. Use Mydbceditor instead.

The wrong number of colums error appears if the latest version of a dbc us not used. There is a tutorial about how to exttact the rigt version here on modcraft.

You should learn to search for yourself.  We don't take too kindly to moochers here.  My guess is he's referring to this tutorial (which is found with a very simple "tutorial extract dbc" search: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=417&hilit=tutorial+extract+dbc (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=417&hilit=tutorial+extract+dbc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Actually wrong advice, MyDBCEditor can't open a few of DBCs correctly until they are opened and saved in Taliis. MyDBCEditor can also corrupt a few DBCs when making copies of rows, for instance, if you use MyDBCEditor to create new areas and zones in AreaTable.dbc, you might run into problem that column #4 data will be corrupted and won't work correctly with map extractors, leading to area/zone bugs on server side.

So, don't throw Taliis into trash bin. But never use it as your primary editor and always make backups of your DBC before using Taliis on them. And use Taliis only if you get strange bugs after using MyDBCEditor.

Ah, I see. Interesting. I've never had the issues with MyDBCEditor and always just used DBCUtil whenever I couldn't crack one open. Still wouldn't recommend Taliis though. It just breaks so much stuff :c

They mean the basic startup tutorial.  It is a own forum on the main Page.  Top of the modding section.

The one with the book in front.  If all newcommers would do thjs we had 60 percent less questions :)
I also explain there why this problem exist.  I think we need a first login popup telling the people what they should do.

I dunno, I actually like answering questions. Its probably the only reason I'm still on these forums, given the fact that I don't mod anymore. Now I'll agree that the Noggit crashing posts are worthless but a lot of these repeated questions are what keep the scene alive.

And at least some of more experienced devs pretty tired sometimes...

You only get the stuff here on the board. I get 4 times more lazy questions over skype :)

And i dont talk about noggit crashs. Stuff like 4 textures, create or move maps, how create patches.
I think if people would just do tuts at startup, they would perhaps not get depressed to early and stop modding again.
