[TOOL][WOTLK] Item DB<->DBC

<< < (2/2)

Amaroth:
You were probably not really following all steps:
"If you've never done so before, consider running ItemDBCToDB first. Explanation is in that tool's description."

And that explanation is here:
"ItemDBCToDB is here to get list of all items in item.dbc which are missing in your server's item_template and to insert their generated versions into that item_template. This can be useful if you want to give players possibility to use some items which were made for NPCs, but never for players (for example weapon and shield of gnome king, weapons of NE sentinels...). If you don't use this tool at least once before using ClientItem, you'll LOOSE all these NPC items which aren't present in item_template. This will lead into loosing all items held by NPCs which aren't in item_template, and into server error log spam. So consider running this tool once before ever using ClientItem."

I made video about usage of this pair of tools, and this fact is mentioned there, too.:



So:
- Use ItemDBCToDB to get all NPC-only items into item_template, making them accessible AND preventing them from being lost in next step.
- Use Client Item to get all item.dbc which is up to date and contains everythig: NPC-only items, original player-accessible items and your new custom items as well.
