Hello everyone,
Alright,so i have a 1.12.1 client and i decided to swap the animations of a few spells. I tried 3-4 DBC Editors posted here on the forums,they all work great but whenever i put my Spell.dbc in a patch and i try to start the game i get this error:
This application has encountered a critical error:
ERROR #121 (0x85100079) Version Mismatch
DBFilesClientSpell.dbc has wrong number of columns (found 162, expected 173)
At first i thought it was because i was editing the German Spell.dbc ,so i decided to edit the English one and try to see if it works on the EnGB client,but i still get the same result. The game just crashes right on the start and i get this error every single time. Could anyone please help me and explain to me what exactly i have to do. I've edited Spell.dbc on 2.4.3 and 3.3.5a and i've never had such a problem.
Also my second question would be: Why do the umlaut letters appear as '' ? '' whenever i open any kind of DBC that isn't EnUS or EnGB . Every letter that isn't from the English Alphabet appears as '' ? '' and when i start the game ,every spell name containing such letter appears with a '' ? '' which causes all of my macros to not work.
I would be very happy if someone could help me,thank you in advance.
I hope i didn't post this in the wrong section.

Eh, are you sure you are editing the correct file? Open all the MPQs in 'merged' mode at once then extract the spell DBC. There are duplicate files often within the MPQs and you have to make sure you edit the right one. Otherwise if you are editing the right one then the DBC editors are causing the DBC to change format to one that is not compatible.
For the second issue, it sounds like the character set is not supported by your client.

Thank you so much for the help stoneharry :) . I was actually missing one of the DBC files indeed. I thought the only DBC files were located at the DBC.MPQ since in Vanilla everything is in different MPQ files. I used merged more and everything worked fine. All of my spell swaps are working correctly. Thank you again for the help !
