[SOLVED] Custom Dungeon Modification

[instig]

Hi,

I have a question regarding converting an existing dungeon from Normal to Heroic mode. In this example, I will use Ragefire Chasm and Utgarde Pinnacle.

Overview: whenever you enter a dungeon, you see a red banner at the top, under the mini-map which shows the total amount of players in the dungeon. For example, Ragefire chasm will display the number '5' on normal under the red banner; Utgarde Pinnacle will show the number '5' along with a skull underneath it, to show it is heroic.

I have converted Ragefire Chasm to Heroic, so I enter the game, change the difficulty to heroic and enter the new dungeon, and I now have an heroic dungeon with a blank map.

Question: when I enter this heroic dungeon, the red banner at the top displays the number '0' , while still displaying the skull underneath, representing it is heroic. How do I change this number '0' to represent the number '5', similar to other heroic dungeons, such as Utgarde Pinnacle Heroic?

Thanks for the replies!

I have converted Ragefire Chasm to Heroic,

This is the part where "how?" is the relevant question, as you obviously did something wrong here.

Hi there,

My apologies for not clarifying further.

Essentially, I have went into my MapDifficulty.dbc and essentially copied the Normal version and then changed the difficulty in the next column to 1 (illustrating heroic) from 0. So now I have two maps with Ragefire Chasm; one for normal and one for heroic (0 and 1).

I do not know the full details of what I have changed, as I don't currently have access to it.

I want to clarify further that, the dungeon does work. I can add creatures, objects, etc. I can change the difficulty to Heroic mode and I am able to enter, with a blank version of the dungeon. However, I am wondering why the heroic version of Ragefire Chasm displays the number '0' instead of the number of players '5'.

EDIT: I have also added the MapDifficulty and Map.dbc files into a custom MPQ patch file. It is currently added in the game, so that is not an issue.

Furthermore, I have edited the access requirements in a 'mysql' database, so the heroic is definitely changed on the database side.

Not sure whether it is something done through the .dbc files or something else.

Thanks

Have you properly changed maxPlayers of http://wowdev.wiki/index.php?tit ... iculty.dbc?

[instig]

Indeed. This was the first item I looked at before I even started modifying any .dbc files. A unique ID was created, the map id matches 389 (Rage Fire Chasm) and the difficulty matches 1 for the second Ragefire Chasm identity. The max players I have is 0x5 - which is a maximum of 5 players.

This has been tested in game; if more than 5 players enter, it states instance is full.

According to the interface code, that size comes from GetInstanceInfo(). I sadly don't know where that function gets the data from, but it seems not to be in mapdifficulty. Possibly that is a change in MoP though. I'm not sure here. Might also be maxPlayers from map.dbc.

Sorry, but I can't help you but to re-check all databases and all fields. :/ Also, there might be something on server side which you have not seen.

[instig]

Okay, thanks for your help. I will continue to check the code to identify whether that may be an issue - which I have not done before, for GetInstanceInfo() - this could be a factor.

However, if this still does not work, hopefully someone else may have the answer. But thank you thus far, for your response.

TrinityCore server ? If so, make sure you add a heroic instance to the db.

[instig]

Hi there,

When you say "make sure it is in the database" could you justify that further?

The only database I have edited, is the Access_Requirement Database. Is there any others I need to modify? This may be a pending factor in this issue.

Edit: Additional Information about Server:

`world`.´instance_template´, `world`.´instance_encounters´

Check those

[instig]

I could not identify the problem. I will give several links to my Map.dbc, MapDifficulty.dbc, World_Access Database and Instance Template, to see what you all think.

It might be easier checking these files, as I might have missed something.

Note: The dungeon I am trying to make heroic is Ragefire Chasm.

It's been a few weeks since anyone has replied.

Does no-one know what the answer is to why the banner is not showing the number '5'. Instead, the banner is showing the number '0'

If you still can't solve it, a temporary hack fix would be to just overwrite the display for your custom dungeon by editing the client side interface code.

[instig]

Would you be able to explain what I should edit exactly In the server side code.

Secondly, when you mention server side code, do you mean editing the dbc files and adding a patch, or do you mean editing the code its self by going into the trinity core code and editing the cpp files?

Thanks,

Instig
