Code: [Select]

RACE_ICON_TCOORDS = {
["HUMAN_MALE"] = {0, 0.125, 0, 0.25},
["DWARF_MALE"] = {0.125, 0.25, 0, 0.25},
["GNOME_MALE"] = {0.25, 0.375, 0, 0.25},
["NIGHTELF_MALE"] = {0.375, 0.5, 0, 0.25},

["NIGHTELF_FEMALE"] = {0.375, 0.5, 0.5, 0.75},

["TAUREN_FEMALE"] = {0, 0.125, 0.75, 1.0},  
["SCOURGE_FEMALE"] = {0.125, 0.25, 0.75, 1.0},
["TROLL_FEMALE"] = {0.25, 0.375, 0.75, 1.0},

    ["FELORC_FEMALE"]   = {0.5, 0.625, 0, 0.25},  
};

So is there an entry for both genders of your race?

[Moridhin]

Sorry but i don't get what you mean by that,like raceID...?

[schlumpf]

In ChrRaces.dbc, you specify an internal identifier of your race, like HUMAN or NIGHTELF.
The table you have there has to have two entries: YOURRACE_MALE and YOURRACE_FEMALE.
If they are not included, the client won't find them when trying to display race selection icons.

Sorry but that doesn't make any sense to me,there are no YOURRACE_MALE and YOURRACE_FEMALE entries in ChrRaces.dbc
I just made 2 races playable in this .dbc and add faction,also BaseLanguage and thats it.
Male and female model entries are left by default.

YOURRACE refers to the name given for the two races you made playable. As I don't know which ones you use, I choose YOURRACE to indicate, what you have to insert.
"The table" refers to the table in the lua file, not the dbc in that sentence.

[Moridhin]

Ok i get you now but i already included races i made playable in the .lua file

Code: [Select]

["GOBLIN_MALE"]     = {0.5, 0.625, 0, 0.25},
    ["GOBLIN_FEMALE"]   = {0.5, 0.625, 0, 0.25},

    ["FELORC_MALE"]     = {0.5, 0.625, 0, 0.25},
    ["FELORC_FEMALE"]   = {0.5, 0.625, 0, 0.25},  

[schlumpf]

Are you sure the names match with the ones given in the DBC?

[Moridhin]

Yes they match 100%...i just checked again they match.

[schlumpf]

Given the code you have shown, I have no idea why that error would show up, then.
Are you sure, your modified file is the last one getting loaded? (i.e. in the MPQ with the highest number of locale MPQs)

[Ascathos]

DId you make sure that there is an icon where you point the file to ? I remember I had that issue once

[Moridhin]

Yes i make sure to use mpq with highest number.

Not sure what you mean.
