[C++] [WotLk] How to modify the source ?!

[Chaya_1987]

Hello,

i read many about the vmaps and mmaps. Both extractors ignore actual the custom maps. I need one people who can tell us what files we need to modify and which exactly we have to do that this will work.

Thanks i hope support for that is given.

You can remake extractors, sure, or you can add your DBCs into patch-enGB-3.mpq and all your data into patch-3.mpq. Making backups of both before editing them should be quite obvious thing to do. More info here:

Btw, you don't have to use that edited extractor there. In fact, I can't recommend doing so, because its getting outdated.

I am only interesting to do it with modded extractor, i do not touch the blizzard mpq files that is not an option.

Creating their backup and using their edited versions (or creating whole new client just for extracting) is an option. As simple as that.

There is a loadup for the files in data.

https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityC ... t.cpp#L292

Loads all files automatically. However, with

Code: [Select]

pArchiveNames.push_back(input_path + std::string("lichking.MPQ"));You can make sure custom mpqs are loaded up.

https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityC ... em.cpp#L74

Takes custom patches into account if they are patch-3 or similar. However, you can add new ones here.
