[DBC] CharBaseInfo.dbc Cataclysm 4.3.4 not open

[Temptation_Town]

So in this logic there are no 4.3.4 servers with custom races at this moment ?

i'm pretty close to custom classes...

I'm almost positive i've got CharBaseInfo.dbc figured out. We're just having trouble with our WoW's not allowing any modified LUA's/XML's but everything else is functioning.
We modified the Wow.exe's manually but when we open our wow.exe's after modifying them they "Configure for the first time" and revert our modifications back to blizzard files.

Will you write some manual when you finish this or it will be some private exclusive?

At least CharBaseInfo.dbc changing step, it would be great.

I'll post the structure to CharBaseInfo when i can confirm that our method is working

Check this link for updates, i'm trying to get as many structure uploaded as i can but of course it'll take some time.

Any news on this, anyone made progress? Please share if so     :idea:   :arrow:
And do MoP and WoD have the same problem like 4.3.4, just this one DBC?

i have edit this dbc directly in hexeditor (010 editor)

i don't know other solutions for this

There's a way to open it, you need to use WoWParser.
You need to use after using this, something like Notepad++ for manual edit.

code extract from the 4.3.4 dbc (not complete)

Code: [Select]

int,int
0,257
1,513
2,769
3,1025

Are those on the right race numbers or?  :?

[Rangorn]

This look like bitmask

Race = X*2^0
Class = X *2^8

Example :

Orc RaceID 2
Shaman ClassID 7

2*2^0 = 2
7*2^8 = 1792

2 +1792 = 1794
1794 Orc Shaman.

Of course you have to order the DBC A to Z
First race / First class to Last race / Last Class.

Edit : In fact, not sure about this....
Read your mp

[schlumpf]

See http://wowdev.wiki/index.php?tit ... seInfo.dbc

This is not a 2 column dbc.

Code: [Select]

int,int
0,257
1,513
2,769
3,1025
rather is

Code: [Select]

int,int,int
0,1,1
1,1,2
2,1,3
3,1,4
or in the orc shaman example

Code: [Select]

int,int,int
0,2,7
or in the wrong format

Code: [Select]

int,int
0,1794

[Rangorn]

Yup that's it,


I don't understand why dbc editors don't read properly this dbc, maybe the last '00'

Anyway, you can edit this dbc directly in 010 editor
A little schema for this :



I think the first row is wrong, First row start with 01 01 and not 01 00

[schlumpf]

editors don't "properly" read it, as none of them reads any dbc "properly" based on the fact they can not handle anything but 4byte width columns.

Sorry for the info so.

No structure dbc converter 3.3.5 to 4.3.4?

I mean I didnt get into DBCs yet but I'm guessing something like this should be possible, if someone can read these lines maybe Rangorn or whoever else said they can in the thread why dont you just remake or adjust the DBC into standard form?

I dont know if thats possible even, like getting rid of the bitmasks(if theres bitmask?) and just decoding it into something simpler?

I guess there is no need because 010 editing works fine.
