[SOLVED] [QUESTION] Runes to Other Names

[Vortalex]

I want to change the words "Blood Rune" and "Frost" etc.
Where would I need to go to do this?

I've done some searching of my own, but I'm not sure if it's in the DBC or in the LUA/XML files, or if in both. I don't know, anyone that possibly does feel free to let me know. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure this would either be in the LUA/XMLs or it's hardcoded.

[schlumpf]

Obviously not hardcoded as it is localized. See http://www.wowdev.wiki/index.php ... isplay.dbc

[Vortalex]

I think the display on the player frame is all Lua/XML as the powerdisplay.dbc shows names without "Rune" but the only related files I can find create the frame for the runes.

EDIT:
Also, the PowerDisplay only edits the way power appears. For example the steam engines in Ulduar really use Energy, but this DBC makes it look like "Steam" instead.

Still no solution.

[Vortalex]

NVM I found it. For those of you also wondering, it's in GlobalStrings.lua along with all the error messages for power sources.

[schlumpf]

As documented on the linked page?!

I didn't see that. Why so enthusiastic?
Thank you though

On topic while not making an entirely new thread, does anyone know how to alter the color of power? Should be somewhere in a LUA or XML. I'm searching, but incase someone else knows and beats me to it, feel free to tell.

[schlumpf]

Have you even read the linked documentation?

[Vortalex]

Have you even read the linked documentation?

Yes. And I've been through every LUA and XML file in Local searching for Barfill or spots for RBG editting. Haven't found anything. In fact, the only connection to color editting I've found in anything is in the SpellVisualKit where you can edit air swipe color and opacity.

[schlumpf]

And what do you think the last column in PowerDisplay is for?

[Vortalex]

And what do you think the last column in PowerDisplay is for?

Assuming of course that I'm using the PowerDisplay.dbc
Which I'm not.

A better way of asking would be to say, "Where can I go to change the color of mana?"

How about that?

[Vortalex]

Found it.
It's located in UnitFrame.lua

For anyone else who is in search. ^^^^

Changing the name in GlueStrings does nothing other than visual. You can name Blood Rune to Oatmeal Rune in there, and every single reference in the game is still going to call it Blood Rune. Especially serverside. Changing it as schlumpf is suggesting is ACTUALLY changing it. Other than perhaps in SharedDefines.h it would be for all intents and purposes be known as Oatmeal Rune instead of Blood Rune.

So if you only want it to be changed VISUALLY for some (but no where close to all) things, then do it your way. Otherwise I suggest doing it schlumpfs way.
