Title: [Question] Location of a String
Post by: Selaya on May 21, 2016, 07:32:18 am
Hello,

quick and simple question as I don`t wanna be delvin` .dbcs for the rest of my life,
I`m looking for the location of the tooltips for the PvP-enabled faction icons, like this http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160521/525ua3q9.jpg (http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160521/525ua3q9.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Can anyone hook me up on this?

<3, Sela

Probably in interface/FrameXML, not in a dbc.

look for FrameXML/GlobalStrings.Lua in your locale**-**.MPQ file.

Ok, so I found and edited the detailtip alright (the 'A proud member' blahbla part), but the Faction`s name by itself (Alliance/Horde) doesn`t seem to be defined in the GlobalStrings.lua, so where can I find that?

There are multiple possible locations. One might be FactionGroup.dbc. But its just a guess and quite likely wrong one. I am not sure if anyone really knows where these 2 particular Horde/Alliance are stored, as they are, like I said, used across client in multiple entirely dfferent places. You will most likely need to find it out on your own. Or idk, maybe schlumpf will again show us his wizardry and find out :P.

Open all XML / Lua files from Interface with a smart editor (Sublime Text / Notepad++) - and do a search all on all files with "Alliance", you might figure it out from there.
