[WotLk] [QUESTION] Russian Clients MPQ/DBC

[frathir]

Hello there,
We have a really big problem, as our custom patch doesn't work on Russian Clients. Is there anyone who might have any knowledge of this problem? Any clues? Maybe even know exactly what the difference is between English clients and other languages clients? We could really use any pointers or clues at this point.

Thanks in advance,

"Don't work" doesn't say much. I'd provide more info.

dbcs are locale specific.

I know it doesn't say much, but they simply do not work. I think it doesn't read the dbc files.

Oh, that explains a lot, do you know how you can work around this with a custom patch? Is there a controller of some sort?
I mean do you know how I then make a russian DBC file? Because I have looked at them and they look exactly the same.

Also, do they need to be russian DBC files on our end (on the server)?

I'd suppose the best thing to do would be just extracting them from a russian client. Open all MPQs in Data/ruRU/ directory in Merged mode in MPQ editor (by using Open MPQs with options... in File menu of MPQ editor) and just extract DBCs from there.

If you need to "convert" already modified nonrussian DBC to a russian versions... Nah, hopefully someone around knows a trick how to do that, I sadly can't help you with that very much. You may use conversion to CSV and then transfer data from one DBC to another one by some simple scirpt, but there simply must be a better way.

Thanks a lot! That is something I can work with, and doesn't sound too difficult (the first). I will try that, and if it works I will come back and let you guys know so if anyone has the problem they can fix it.
As for the ladder, I will look into it if the first fails.
But again thanks a lot.
