SirFranc:
Trying to edit a file from FRAMExml makes the exe close the program on login saying "it's corrupt" so i need to remove the signature check on the FrameXML as well? i can't manage to do it  :/

Steff:
Yes you need. Interfac is protected.

SirFranc:
Got them, so basically i can add now whatever spell i want on the Talent.dbc, linking it to an existing talent tab, using the coordinate (which tier and which row) and its icon, it's not that hard :D

Buddhist:
Hey, I'm trying to change the locations of talents in the talent trees (not editing the structure of the trees). So for example, swapping the tier 3, 3rd column talent in the combat tree to the 2nd tier 3rd column in subtlety.

I have successfully done this server side, but when I patch the client side, the UI is all messed up, as you can see in the attached image.

I know it works server side because, even without changing the client, the talent that *appears* to be camouflage (in the subtlety tree) actually requires 10 points in combat and gives the close quarters combat effects. So that should all work fine. My only issue is all of those talents disappearing from the talent trees.

All I did was change the talenttab, tier, column, and prerequisite fields in the talent.dbc file for camouflage and close quarters combat. I didn't touch any other talent. This is a 3.3.5a emulator on mangos.

Any ideas?

edit: I tested swapping two talents in the same tree, and that seems to work perfectly both server and client side. So clearly there is some issue with changing the talents between trees that I am missing.

edit2: I've done some more experimentation and got some more information. I tried removing blade flurry, which is the prerequisite of weapon expertise. When I did this by replacing every field in the talent.dbc for id223(bladeflurry), the UI broke (every talent up to and including blade flurry was missing). However, when I put the talenttab number back in (the number indicating which tree blade flurry belongs to) the talent tree looks and behaves perfectly. So now it's clear that it's specifically the talenttab field which is breaking the UI when changed -- there must be something else corresponding that needs a change, I just don't know what it is yet.

edit3: A functional work around is to swap the spell IDs in two talents in different trees to switch the trees, and then freely move the tier/column/prereqs/etc. It would be nice to know why directly changing the talenttab number messes everything up though.

I am extremely tired and haven't done this in ages, but the reason you get this image:

download/file.php?id=77

Is due to the fact the Talent tree is trying to find more buttons than the XML file holds. If you go into the relative xml file (which I honestly don't remember which it is, and I don't have an extracted install to check). But when you find it you will know what it is.

Basically it will have 3 sections that are distinctive and need changing, one relates to the button, one to the arrows and one for something else. You need to just copy paste enough of them that you have an equal amount of buttons/arrows as required, and then just change the numbers to the next ascending number (40 -> 41 -> 42 etc...)

Sorry I am not very precise, but I don't have an extracted interface folder atm and can't check myself. But I know you will be able to find it yourself, you seem to manage on your own very well anyway.

EDIT: Added attached file of a talent tree I did. It is honestly pissing me off that I can't remember the details of it, and the server it was for is now closed so I can't get the file either. But is it somewhat of the desired thing you want?
