Miscellaneous / Re: Wod server, but friends can't play.
« on: June 14, 2017, 11:07:53 pm »
I'm not pro but recently i did my legion 7.2 local server (i did wod back in time). So i guess if they have the good realm and everything in account creating seems nice to you i see one or two things. Did you give them a connection patched wow.exe, they need a patched exe if i'm not mistaken to connect to your server. To add more verify that they put the good address of the realmlist in their WoW/WTF/config.wtf "SET portal "XXX". It's all i can really see there. I never did real emulation.

Tutorials / WoD Modding: Custom NPC & Custom Weapon
« on: April 12, 2017, 03:48:53 am »
I will share with you the things i learned during my WoD Modding period.

Hello guys, I don't like to do some introduction so will will be going into it right now !

(I'm french so there might be some  mistakes in my spelling).

Tools to do things faster:

- 010 Editor v5+ for my scripts to work ( The scripts that fix animations is from Alastor.

https://mega.nz/#!OUQz2Cya!I1XLE9iOlDgh2VjzRqIddu2NktyAObZyz2lrkVGM7jE )

All the basic templates like M2Template and SkinTemplate etc...

- MyDBCEditor

- CascExplore (off course !)

- Your Compiled Wod Server with a working database.

- HeidiSQL or another software to edit your Database.

- A cracked launcher that load your root folders like DBFilesClient.
 



I - Adding Custom Legion NPC to DB and Creating Them

So, open your Cascexplorer and find your creature from legion that you want ! Good. Now open the folder and drag you "Creature" folder to your WoD Root and go inside it then. Now open your m2 file with 010 Editor and use the script LegiontoWod. It will automatically suppress the MD21 format and version from 12 to 10 for WoD compatibility. Use the M2Template on it and run the Script03 from Alastor to fix some possible issues on the animation (it puts all playbackspeed to 150). You can save and close your m2.

For those that couldn't get a full 010 Editor 5+ or just used their 30 free days on it you can do that in previous version of 010 by deleting all the Bytes before "MD20" and overwriting "12" to "10" on the first line.

Now the go to your DBFilesClient and search for "Filedata", CreatureModelData" and "CreatureDisplayInfo" don't forget to make a backup of the files you are editing just in case !

Open your Filedata.dbc and add a new line to the end (remember the ID that will be shown in hexa !) in the second column write the name of your creature m2 file (example: warden.m2), in the third one just write the access path (example: Creature\warden\) DON'T FORGET THE BACKSLASH AT THE END. Just save.

Open CreatureModelData.dbc and add a new line by copying one line and write an big entry like 1000000. Use Wowdev to see if you have everything good. In the third column write the entryid of your mod (el in "Filedata"

Open CreatureDisplayInfo.db2, yes an awful db2 file ! But ! You can edit it with what i learned from all the forums ! drag the file to 010 Editor and use my script CreatureDisplayInfoDB2TODBC to convert it and save, now you can open it and add a new line. Don't make the entryid at the end of the file (for me it doesn't work right in game) find a vacant place in previous id order and make a new one, put the creaturemodeldata id (1000000 for example) in the second column and in the 8 to 10 column you can now write your blp access as a string (or maybe only two for 6.2.3). Write their name without the ".Blp" at the end. Use Wowdev as well to check if everything's cool. Save and now go to 010 reload the file and use the script version DBCTODB2 and save.

For previous version of 010, you have to delete the Bytes starting from pos 20 to pos 47 included (14h to 2Fh included).and you have to copy those bytes and after modifying the db2 file, you reload it in 010 and go to edit -> insert/Overwrite -> insert Bytes. Choose start from 14 and add 30 in hex. now you can paste the previous bytes at offset 14h and save.

To make them unique NPC usable without the morph command, use the general tutorials using creature_Model_Info and creature_template. You can find tutorials on trinity website.

 
II - Adding and blacksmith items from legion

The process is quite similar to the creature. Just get your weapon and drag the item folder to your wow root and repeat the process from creature with the m2 file until the dbc editing.

Find "Filedata", "TextureFileData" and "ItemDisplayInfo"

In Filedata add a new line and remember the entry ID and write the name of your blp this time like: "sword_2h_artifactashringer_d_01_red.blp" and in the last column the path: "item\objectcomponents\weapon\"

Now open TextureFileData with 010 Editor and  edit it like creature display info but manually without the script like explained in the first part of the tutorial. Open your file with you dbceditor and add a line not at the end but prior. Found a place and add your id that follow the order. in the column 2 write your custom texture id that followsthe order and use wowdev for a better knowledge of what you're doing. In column 3 write the number that refers to what items you are adding. In the last one just put the filedata entryid of your texture. Save and convert it back to db2 with the manual 010 edit from the first part.

Open Itemdisplayinfo and add a new line. In column 2 write your weapon m2 name "sword_2h_artifactashbringer_d_01.m2" and then following wowdev information, you write the ID of your texture id from TextureFileData. Save and you're done with the pre-blacksmithing.

To blacksmith the item IG follow the trinity wiki for the database of your server to create the new entry using thos new ids.
 


So this tut was made by me on Model-changing way before the WDBX tool was made when we WoD modder could only use really stone age skills to edit db2 from WoD, so now, just use WDBX EDITOR to edit the database, don't go through the long struggle of 010 editing to decrypt them. But i will let this tutorial like it is, maybe it will entertain some of you to learn how it was made back then.
If you have questions, i'll try to answer you, but i Mod only creatures models and weapons models

DBC / DB2 / DB modding / Re: Legion Naga Model Issues
« on: April 12, 2017, 03:28:48 am »
Did you convert the m21 model of legion naga to m20 of WoD then put this into your character folder ? To replace the old model ? Did you change the entry of the naga model in your filedata ? If so, try to do the UV Mapping in Blender for the m2.

I'll share my newfound knowledge with everybody when it will be 100% working. I still need the geoset ID for npc with the same ModelID but different armors like the Nightborne et the Drogbar.

"Retro-Porting" / Re: [QUESTION] Porting Legion Creature to WoD

Solved by myself after days of struggle

Hello there everyone. I'm new here on this forum but i started to modify my wow files with wod some weeks ago, starting with Blp then model swap.

I'm on a cool RP Server but i want to make patch as a player for other player. I already gave them a model swap patch for a lot of Legion model without any bug. I know how to swap, how to edit the M2 Hexa with 010 Editor to make it able to appear in WoD version et i know how to fix the animations. But i wasn't happy with this little patch to kill time. So i wanted to Attack the dbc et db2 to insert them as unique creature.

 

For now here's what i can do.

- I know how to implement a new ID in Filedata.dbc and create a model in CreatureModelData.dbc using the link with Filedata using MyDbcEditor. But when i tried to make the display on CreatureDisplayInfo.db2, i achieved to creature most of it like i can morph with my custom DisplayID into the m2 model and it is animated but i have a lot of problems with the texture. I searched for hours and hours using 010 Editor and everything i could find without success. So i'm stuck in my project with a white or sometimes green textureless model... If anyone could teach me how to do things step by step you would make me really happy. Like how to convert db2 to dbc with 010 Editor to make it able to take as an argument a path like "CreatureWardenwardenwhite.blp" or simply "wardenwhite.blp". How to find the texture ID for CreatureDisplayInfo.db2 with an imported model from Legion which has it blp's in "Creature"

 

I'd also like to know more about Hardcoded texture, i see some Hardcode and CreatureSkin on 010Editor but i can't seem to hardcore Something or make a difference...
