Serverside Modding / [Question] DBC editing
« on: July 31, 2012, 09:21:22 pm »
Hello.
I have a couple of questions all related to one another.
First, I'm trying to add a class, but I (and the same goes for a friend who I asked to try it) am unable to edit the DBC file named CharBaseInfo. I'm trying to edit it with MyDBCEditor, but that gives me an error of "Invalid fieldsize" (happens to a few other DBC files also, although it works on most). I tried converting it to an csv file with DBCUtil, edit that, and convert it back, but it shows my class disabled for all, so I'm guessing something bugs that way also. Hopefully you guys know the solution.
Second, as I mentioned I'm trying to add a class, and I edited DBC files which I can just add server-side, along with the C++ adjustments I will have to make for it, but I'm wondering how I can get the edits to the LUA and XML interface files (in the patch files) to the users if I want to allow other people to test the classes on my server. I couldn't find a guide for this yet, but probably because I have no idea what I should be looking for.
Hope anyone knows the answer to my two problems.
Thanks in advance!
Xavier.
