[QUESTION] Really weird String (most likely) problem

<< < (2/4) > >>

Vortalex:
I'm sorry but that file is confidential. Top secret, hush hush kind of stuff.

schlumpf:
Sorry for your loss, then, but without the file, one can't help you.

Vortalex:
I don't understand why I need to hand over a file. I'm not asking for anyone to fix it for me, I'm asking for a software that allows me to remove strings, and add in new ones. Excel obviously didn't do the trick, it gave me a file that was too small to edit (5kb).

This is what happens when things go wrong, I'm the DBC guy for the Maruum Project, and I can tell you that sometimes there is no simple way to fix something.  You might need to keep tinkering until you figure it out.  

MyDBCEditor and DBCUtil are the two main programs I use along with Excel.  You might have to try several different programs and various different methods to make it work.  There might not be a simple use this program and fix it solution.

Can you open the DBC with MyDBCEditor?  Does it convert to CSV with DBCUtil?  

I see by your pic that you use Tallis, I don't... Ive found that it can lead to strange problems like this.

And as for secrecy, most of us here who can help you, have no honest care of what is exactly in there.  I'm not going to read 75,000 spells to see anything new.  I might see a name and go "huh that sounds cool."  But I've got my hands full reverse engineering and documenting how the DBC functions, to really look at anything in depth.

Vortalex:
I use MyDBCEditor and Tallis both for different things. It was easier to take a pic of the strings if I pulled it up in Tallis, but the editing done that corrupted the file was via MyDBCEditor.

After having saved the corrupted Spell.dbc into a Spell.csv via MyDBCEditor, then opening it in Excel and removing all the fields of text and resaving, I got a file that was around 5kb which was too small for MyDBCEditor to open. Maybe you guys can just walk me through the process of fixing that. I'm sorry but the file is really dear to me I couldn't possibly give it out before it's complete.
