[Leagion] Filedata.db2 gone?

[Synric]

I may just be missing something, but filedata.db2 is still included in my listfile, but it is not being found in cascexplorer. Did Blizzard drop it? If not, can anyone upload the DB2s from the latest legion client so I can see what all I'm missing? I'd appreciate it!

Is it a db2 ? It's dbc in wod. Maybe they shifted it to dbc (if it was even changed) or db3.

[Synric]

I assumed it was db2 now. I added both to my listfile just to be safe, but neither returned the file. When I open legion it looks like every DBC has been shifted to DB2

Yes, current legion is 100% db2

Plus on that that files except that are DB2 are WDB5 also. Dunno if any DB2 editor/converter exists to read/write inside them. If any needs i can share those from build 21737.

https://github.com/tomrus88/dbcviewer <- Tomrus has done some work. The definitions aren't all correct so they dont all come out correctly, but if you update them yourself its fine. I'd use a filedata from any Legion build at this point, but I'm assuming it got taken out before the client went public.

In 21737 i can see a filedatacomplete.db2 and its kinda big 280MB. Is that you looking for  ?

I was wondering the same thing.
Since build 21796 neither FileData.db2 nor FileDataComplete.db2 are present in the game files.
I even parsed the WoW.exe binary: definitions of both files are gone - not even any kind of trace.

Now how is the client supposed to load mp3 files e.g.? It's not like they're in a different db2 now.. I've already checked that by parsing each and every string table - none is containing music file names.

The client is loading them by id. The names are for debugging only.

Do you have any more details on this process? I mean at some point the client has to know the file hash in order to load the file from storage, no?

[schlumpf]

root has file id <> file hash <> data hash, so no. They could even drop file hash at some point.

Looks like thats gonna be the most recent. For some reason even with it in the listfile I'm still not seeing it. Could you possibly compress and upload it somewhere?

I made a typo on the size tho, its 28MB not 280 . Anyway heres the file : https://www.dropbox.com/s/mb4qsqs2zk1bcb6/dbfilesclient.rar?dl=0

Thank you for that!

https://github.com/bloerwald/LegionFiles/commits/master should not be missing too many files. (963 to be exact)
