So I remember on 3.3.5, that it was relatively easily to modify AreaTable.dbc.
What I would like to do is to change the name of one line in my AreaTable.dbc.
Now I am doing it on Cataclysm, and signature check came in the way.
I tried Obsidian Lair into Heartwing Lair.
baseDBFilesClientAreaTable.dbc was my path in my patch.
The error:
Signature check.
Found 96, expected 100.
I edited the very file from the client.
-
You took the wrong file from the MPQs to modify. Take the latest one found in the patch mpqs.
-
Aha, makes sense!
Thank you for so quick reply.
I will change the topic to Solved if that works.

Well, I run on a 4.0.6a client.
And it doesn't got any patches in enGB/US.
I took as before my AreaTable.dbc from locale-enGB.mpq
And still the signature check.
It appears only after I edited the dbc with DBCUtil (latest), that it gives error.
-
The patches are named differently on 4+. They still exist though.
-
I can only find AreaTable.dbc in localeGB, there isn't any patches in my enGB folder.
I think I know how those patches are named: patch-XXXXX
-
I do say things with reason. When saying they are named differently, they are most likely not named like on WotLK.
You should be looking for wow-update-deDE-BUILD.MPQ files.
Why do I even say things if people don't listen or even look through a list of about 15 files before replying?
-
Thanks for your patience with me.
I found the right file in 13596, but it seems like DBCutil won't open the enGB one, it says it is not a dbc file.
Anyway, my question was solved.

These mpqs might contain parts of files only. Use Ladik's mpq editor and open them using the extended open dialog. Put the locale one on top and the updates on bottom, then select merge.
