[QUESTION] Really weird String (most likely) problem

(1/4) > >>

Vortalex:


See that gray text of a different spell description all the way across the tooltip? Yeah...

It started doing this after my last edit, and it's not just this spell or this description, it's a bunch of random spell descriptions on each spell. No idea what's causing it. Nothing that I can think of may have caused this so if anyone has any suggestions?

Btw: The edit was done in the Spell.dbc

Vortalex:
I found out what is wrong, but I have no idea how it happened. A bunch of strings in the Spell.dbc decided to randomly disappear... and when I say random, I mean RANDOM. The string table completely fucked itself. A lot of strings have CHANGED their ID values! What the fuck!?!

My new question, is there any way for me to replace the entire string folder of my editted DBC with one of a non-editted DBC? Any softwares out there?

This might work...

Convert the Corrupted Spell.DBC to CSV, I opened the DBC in MyDBCEditor and saved as CSV.

Open the CSV file with Excel and clear out all the columns with text.  Make sure you leave the str as the first row if using MyDBCEditor.  Save.

Open a clean and working Spell.DBC in MyDBCEditor and select Export Strings as patch, save this patch somewhere you can find it.  

Open the Corrupted Spell.CSV with MyDBCEditor, and choose Apply Patch, and load in the patch you made in the last step.  It should take about 30 seconds and the strings should appear back.

Give it a shot and let me know if this fixed it.

Vortalex:
MyDBCEditor refuses to open the edited CSV file because it has an incorrect filesize.

To give a visual on what is seen in the DBC, here is what it looks like: http://oi42.tinypic.com/2eb8pye.jpg

Can you post the corrupted DBC file?  I have a few more tricks up my sleeve that I might be able to try
