3. save the file

4 run WoWParser2_ADB_DB2_WDB_DBC_Reader (http://www61.zippyshare.com/v/cn8hN4o3/file.html)

5.finish

schlumpf:
This should go straight into retro-porting hall of fame.


* The magic changed for a reason: The header format changed, as well as the data blocks.
* Changing to WDB2 but renaming to .dbc makes no sense at all.
* even the row formats changed so whatever description that converter has _must_ be out of date
* ???

I have opened Language.db2 from wod 6.2.2 and from Legion, except the char magic wdb3 and timestamp/min/max in the header, everything was the same, but maybe because that's a small file.

Anyway, did u plane to define the db3 structure on the wikidev pxr ?

It might work for a very small amount of files, I guess. The renaming-to-dbc part still is absurd.

The fact that I'm apparently the only one who would, makes me sad.

Rangorn:
Haha, i said that because you are certainly the guy with the best knowledge of WoW, after Blizzard's employees.

About myself, i can easily analyze a file, reading offsets/chunks etc... but i couldn't say what is it for, what does it do, how to do it etc....
So i check the wiki PXR and im always surprised that structures post-wotlk are defined properly, even the CASC system is explained
