[SOLVED] Modyfing spells and such.

[Elysian]

Alright so, I got this idea (fucken' stole it from Skyrim like a boss) to have channeled spells for each element. Think Mind Flay only with say the frostbolt effect, so it would be channeled and deal periodic frost damage with a snare. I think this is client-side modding since it's just DBC editing but I couldn't find the section so I just put it here. So one question, is there some sort of resource on spell.dbc other then the Trinity Core wiki that I'm not aware of or will this be a trial and error sort of thing? Not that I'm not ok with that, just wanted to check if there was something to make my job easier since there are a *fuck-load* of columns in there. Anyway thanks in advance and feel free to move this to whatever section is appropriate.

EDIT: Oh and, forgot to ask. Which DB editing tool do people use? I use Taliis since it seemed alright, but if there's something better do tell.

EDIT #2: And another question, if I were to copy a spell from spell.dbc and just paste it, how would I know the ID isn't taken up by something else, say a model? Or are the spell IDs seperate?

That works, thanks. Now the second problem, the latter questions in my first post still stand. I'm using Taliis, and I copy Frostbolt, give it an ID of 88888 and link it to a string with the name "Frostbutt". Then I pack that up in DBFilesClient, put it into a patch and start stuff up and the spell isn't there. Then I open spell.dbc with Taliis again only to see that the damn thing has remained unchanged, and yes I did save, double-save etc. So uh, does anyone know another DBC editor that's decent? Tried "mydbceditor" and "DBCEditor" (the one with the radioactive icon) packaged with the rest of the tools in the basic tutorial thread. One can't copy/paste rows, the other just plain crashes so uh, I'm out of ideas.

EDIT: Wait, no. Fixed it like a boss. Taliis goes "no-no" if I try to overwrite shit, need to save it somewhere else and then copy paste etc. Well, works now, time to mess around with it.

Did you have the row that you changed still selected (like that you can still change values)? Klick on some other row to reset cursor and try saving again; that's usually why Taliis does not save for me.
