[REQUEST] Faction and Race name change

(1/7) > >>

LordAres:
Okay so im using 3.3.5a TRINITY and I see everyone is changing their factions and race names in their client and servers. My server im making is based on 2 factions, Lawful and Evil. I want to know if someone can make a tutorial on how to change the Race names and Faction names in the client and server with trinity. Also please include pictures!

Side question, Is it possible to create another faction that a player can become via quest? Say Demon or Angel? Yet still have their main faction. LIke for instance Lawful - Angel or Lawful - Demon.

First, if you don't already, you need to learn to make a custom patch or how to load from directories. There are guides floating around on here for those.

Moving on: on the basic level it's very simple DBC editing to achieve both. Just open up "ChrRaces.dbc"  MyDBCEditor and change the name of a race. Then add it to your client by doing the neccessary steps to make WoW load it. If you are using Taliis, make a new string with the name you want, then use the string ID to replace the name. If that confuses you, try an irrelevant DBC editing guide on here first that uses Taliis (many do).

Factions, again on a basic level is almost the same. Do the same but in the "Faction.dbc".

As for your side question, you can just use sub-faction branches. Like Alliance can be Lawful, Horde can be Unlawful, then Stormwind can be Angels, Ironforge can be, Paladin Brotherhood or some crap. Then Orgrimmar can be Demons, and Thunderbluff can be Monsters. Idk, I'm not a very creative type, but you should be able to grasp the structure I am on about.

Edit: For the most part, there is already guides very similar to what you ask, but mroe extensive.

LordAres:
changing Alliance and Horde in faction.dbc will change it in the login screen right? Where it says alliance at the top of the client in character creation?

schlumpf:
Try and see yourself. Trying takes a minute, waiting for an answer already took ten.

LordAres:
Well I did mess around with the faction dbc and I saw how to change it around. When I go into the character creation screen everything I tried didn't work so idk if its a graphical change I would have to do. Also it doesn't hurt to ask questions. Because it shows people who come after me reference posts on what to do or encourage the community by making tutorials.

Also I'm not skilled with editing yet and there is a lot of places I don't know where to start on certain things so I'd rather ask and get wisdom from more skilled editors and it'll make me more skilled the more skilled I become ill stop asking questions less and less and ill make tutorials. I don't new my hand held. Just what files would be used in changing the factions and races in the character creation menu.

Also to kill 2 birds in one stone which files would be used to change the world of Warcraft icons in the login screen, character creation, character selection screen.
