This tutorial is not completed...u havent posts for Emulator edits. Example for TrinityCore2 you need add to database stats...you dont posts any copy stats...so first error for new users.

[detonatorss]

it's the same as custom races if you know how to create custom races is the same but a little bit diferent in dbc  -.-

[Supora]

also you need to change som lines of code in core like with adding a new race

[detonatorss]

{
    CLASS_NONE          = 0,
    CLASS_WARRIOR       = 1,
    CLASS_PALADIN       = 2,
    CLASS_HUNTER        = 3,
    CLASS_ROGUE         = 4,
    CLASS_PRIEST        = 5,
    CLASS_DEATH_KNIGHT  = 6,
    CLASS_SHAMAN        = 7,
    CLASS_MAGE          = 8,
    CLASS_WARLOCK       = 9,
    //CLASS_UNK           = 10,
    CLASS_DRUID         = 11,
    CLASS_CUSTOM    = 12,
};

This is less than 50% of real guide, because it have a lot of lines of code in the emulator.

btw, thanks to share it, it's useful to start

[ringtail2390]

What about any serverside modding to the core? How would you do that?
