Title: [TUTORIAL] Custom Door Creation
Post by: Curas on November 13, 2010, 01:35:35 am

Custom Doors and Keys

Hi Folks,

Today I will explain to you how to create a new key, a matching door and link them together.

And cuz I'm so bored , I've also written a small tool which generates the Entry, who knows my CreatureDisplayExtraInfo-EntryCreator, will also have no problems.

I assume the advance that you own a running server.

What you need:
Included
KeyEntry Creator.jar
DBCUtil.exe
WinMPQ or something similar
Quice / Navicat or SQLyog

Not Included
Lock.dbc
Notepad or something similar

[attachment=0:3d0m7kj3]Key Creation Kit.rar[/attachment:3d0m7kj3]

The modification of Lock.dbc
-Drag & Drop the Lock.dbc over DBCUtil.exe
-Open Lock.dbc.csv with Notepad or something similar

Here is an explanation for the Entry:

Code: [Select]

Id                          Lock_Properties[i]                       Action[i]
|                           |    | |  |  |                         / | |   |  
299,1,0x2,0x2,0x2,0x2,,,,7146,1,10,11,0x10,,,,0,175,0,0x0,175,,,,0x1,1,0x0,0x2,1,,,,
         | /   /                            | |   | |   |
        Type[i]                               Required_Skill[i]    * ID: Unique ID is used when the combination game object <-> lockid.
    * Type: either 1 or 2 For one, it takes an object, a game of skill for 2, you can specify any number.
    * Lock_Properties : Depends on type if type is 1, then Lock_Properties is the ID of an object. If the type is 2, then Lock_Properties refers to the responsibility LockType.dbc. IDs are the most interesting:
     

1 Lockpick
      2 herbal
      3 mining

    * Required_Skill : Indicates the required level, if Lock_Properties the ID of a skill.
    * Action : execute action at the opening with a particular object type / skill. Values 0, 1 or 2

Now we're creating an Entry with my KeyEntry Creator. Here is a screenshot, should be very self explanatory

Copy the generated Entry at the End of Lock.dbc.csv. Look at this Screen:

(http://caleron.ca.funpic.de/download/images/tutorials/lockdbc.JPG)

Code: [Select]

Code:
2000,1,0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0,,,,66000,0,0,0,0 x0,,,,0,0,0,0 x0, 0,,,,0x1, 0, 0x0, 0x0, 0,,,,
-Save the Lock.dbc and pull back on the DBCUtil.exe, you replace it with the old.

The file should now be a few kilobytes greater.

-Replace your Lock.dbc new with the old in "YourMangosDirDatadbc" directory.
-Create also a MPQ-patch with the new Lock.dbc with the path "DBFilesClient"

The next Screenshot should explain how it works

Now you must create a new key with the ItemID 66000 and a door with the game object ID 800000

I will explain here how it works with Quice, watch at these two Screenshots

At first we're creating the Gameobject:

And last but not least the Key:

I hope you enjoy oh yeah and before I forget, here is an ingame screenshot from the door:
