DBC / DB2 / DB modding / Changing int size of a column in a db2
« on: June 18, 2017, 03:48:43 am »
Does anyone know if this is possible. The column is uint16, and the id gets over 65535. Has anyone experimented with changing them to uint32?

Random / PSA: Server Roleplay Heaven is stealing patches and addons
« on: December 10, 2016, 03:51:51 pm »
I will just start off with these messages from the server owner to set the mood:



I was a patch creator for Roleplay Heaven (RPH) back in the day. I created patches like where you can select all the NPC skins in the character creation screen.

I was suddenly banned one day after suggesting having two developers, as development was very slow and nothing happening for months.

I went to my fallback, the server I once called names, Paragon RP. They welcomed me with open arms. I gave them every patch I created for Roleplay Heaven, and even helped them create new ones.

Speed forward to Paragon updating to Legion. RPH finally updates too, after months, and their patches have a slightly uncanny resemblance.



Most of these are just to prevent crashing when using NPC hairstyles in the barbershop. But that last hair was custom made by me, unless they had the same idea. They completely stole everything and removed the servers name.

This isn't the only thing they stole. I had an addon named RPH Helper. After being banned I completely rewrote it for Paragon. They went on Pragon and downloaded my addon, renamed it all to RPH Helper, removed my name, and posted on the forum and said they "Updated" it.

After 11 months banning me, Roleplay Heaven still uses my content, and content of other people they have banned, and I want everyone to be weary, especially after the owner is going on places like Modcraft, and model-changing asking for help, promising money, which I'm sure they wont get in return.

Its fun to see them confirm our research, "each cell has a limit of 4 textures"

Miscellaneous / [QUESTION] [WoD] SpellMisc Visual reference gone?
« on: April 24, 2016, 10:16:00 pm »
The two SpellVisual ID references in SpellMisc seemed to have disappeared. Most of them are 0, even for spells that positively do have visuals.

Anyone know how they are linked now?

Looking for ways to fuel my addiction for legion coming up.

Some things I've done are:

Edit DB2's
  • Remove all restrictions on wearing/using items.
  • Skin Patch + Barber Shop crash fix. (You must know how to edit the core)
  • Custom Items Patch (Required in WoD) (You must know how to edit the core)
  • Edit hopefully any DB2 to your liking if its not too daunting.
Lua
  • Make TRP3 work + Cross Faction communication addon (if you need) (You must know how to edit the core)
  • Make addons

I just want game time, (or Stardew Valley)

Miscellaneous / [QUESTION:Wod] Downloading the game from scratch.
« on: November 21, 2015, 03:26:54 pm »
In Warlords of Draenor, it is possible to download the whole game through only the wow.exe
But I'm wondering if there's a way to recreate the battle net app, and download the game without the wow.exe open.

If you go to http://us.patch.battle.net/wow/cdns

This will show you all the CDN's, so lets take one: http://blzddist1-a.akamaihd.net

Now we go to http://us.patch.battle.net/wow/versions

This gets the Build Config, and CDN Config.

So from this we can get:

http://blzddist1-a.akamaihd.net/tpr/wow ... 31aa6a8353
http://blzddist1-a.akamaihd.net/tpr/wow ... 5667febd83

And there is what stops me. What does all this do?

Miscellaneous / Remove GlueXML and FrameXML checks in WoD
« on: August 14, 2015, 09:30:50 pm »
EDIT: I found similarities between the two offsets in 6.1.2 and 6.2.0, It SHOULD work for versions in between.

Find:
01 4C 8B B4 24 90 01 00 00 48 8B F0 65 48 8B 04 25 58 00 00 00 41 BF 08 00 00 00 48 8B 3C C8 41 C7 04 3F 02 00 00 00 40 F6 C5 01 0F 84 8F 00 00 00 80 3D

Change the 84 between "0F 84 8F" to 85

Find:
FF 84 C0 74 3D 4C 8D 05 8E

Change the 74 between "C0 74 3D" to 75

These are the exact string that are similar from 6.1.2 to 6.2.0, if you cannot find this EXACT string, you can try searching for less, but make sure what you find looks somewhat similar to the pictures, you want to make sure you are editing the right functions, or else your WoW wont work at all.

This is using the 64 bit exe, I do not know the offsets for 32 bit.

EDIT: This disables addons, need someone to help find a fix.

Where exactly does the exe download from?

Miscellaneous / Cant get blizzard configs, but some people can.
« on: July 24, 2015, 05:55:25 am »
For example, going here:
http://dist.blizzard.com.edgesuite.net/ ... cf33f28af9

For two of my friends, it shows the correctly.

For me and another friend, we get a "An error occurred while processing your request."

I've asked them about their ISP's and location, but there seems to be no correlation, except me and the friend who can't view it live in Florida, but I don't see why that would be the problem.

Does anyone know whats causing this seemingly random ability to access these files?

Modelling and Animation / Has anyone done anything with PHYS yet?
« on: September 26, 2014, 02:24:52 am »
I was just wondering if anyone has done anything with the phys format yet?

I think this can lead to very creative models and it will be interesting to see what people can create.

Serverside Modding / [SOLVED] Allowable Race on items.
« on: September 23, 2014, 02:57:53 am »
I'm trying to set the allowable race on an item which has a race restriction. I want it to be able to be used by all races.

I looked at items that can be used by all races and some of the id's are -1, and some are 2147483647.
I changed my db2 to use -1, that didn't work, I tried 2147483647, that didn't work.

Then I tried a different approach. Allowing an item to be used by human means the value is 1, allowing it to be used by orcs means the value is 2. Allowing both humans and orcs means the value is 3.

Going with the doubling logic, all races should be, 8191. Except that appears to be Orc, Dwarf, Night Elf, Undead, Tauren, Gnome, Troll, Goblin, Blood Elf, Draenei.

I went up one more and now Human got added back in. From there I cannot seem to include Worgen and Pandaren, no matter how high I make the number.

Does anyone understand this?

Modelling and Animation / [QUESTION] 1024x512 skin texture?
« on: August 10, 2014, 05:22:26 am »
When I use the new skin textures that are 1024x512, the game crashes.

Scaling the texture down will make it more blurry, and will need major re-uv mapping.
Moving the face to the bottom left will override other assets that space uses, and still need major re-uv mapping.

What can I do to get it working?

Modelling and Animation / [SOLVED] Model Physics
« on: August 10, 2014, 02:50:29 am »
Now here's an interesting one. Has anyone found out how to add physics to models?

The new pandaren belts have physics. You can twirl your character around really fast and the belt spazzes out. Not sure if this is just something in Mists of Pandaria, or you just have to set up the bones to do that.

It would be really cool for things like the Saints Row Penetrator, if you know what I mean.

"Ugh another post about Cataclysm..." Really, the last aspect of WoW Modding I need to learn how to do for Cataclysm, is create custom models with animations. Everything else is totally possible, but i'm not sure about this one.

The only tools I have seen that can do this are for ancient versions of blender, and programs who's download links are long lost. Is there any new guides and tools that can accomplish this feat?

15
I'm trying to add a simple spell that would use the talktome chat bubble from MoP. The spell works 100% if I overwrite the spell. But changing the ID totally breaks it.

I can learn the spell, lookup the spell, etc, but clicking the spell or forcing the aura just doesn't do anything.

I've even tested to see if copying a blizzard spell would work. An exact copy of Quest Giver has the same effects as above. The only thing I've changed was making a duplicate and changing the ID.

I have put the edited spell DBCs into the server, and my WoW, and still nothing.

This being said, it looks like the server has to be edited in some way to know what do do when it is cast.

Anyone know if it is even possible?
