Title: [QUESTION] DBC change not working
Post by: Смердокрыл on October 16, 2015, 08:30:59 pm

Hey!
I had a very simple job to do: change the music in the Ruins of Lordaeron to that in Stormwind. I opened AreaTable.dbc, changed the needed fields, saved the dbc on the server and in a patch, but in game nothing changed. Whats wrong?

Music in WMOs isn't being (at least not wholly) set in DBCs which are being used for zone music. Sadly, there's nothing more I can say about it, I have never managed to edit music IDs for WMOs. I hope I will get to it when I try to learn a little bit more about WoW 3D, but that will be soon-ish.

http://pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?tit ... aTable.dbc (http://pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?title=WMOAreaTable.dbc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

It is handled by dbc.

Hmm, interesting! Do I still have to change things in AreaTable.dbc?

Oh, I've got another problem:
In order to edit WMOAreaTable.dbc I converted it to csv (via wowparser), but I cant conver it back because I dont know which encoding to use. I tried different ones and it either doesnt convert at all because the field names change, or the location names (originally in russian) appear as question marks.

Seeing as wmos are directly referenced and areatables are optional, no.

I suggest getting a text editor like e.g. notepad and try converting it to utf8. Might help, I haven't worked with russian syllables in dbcs yet

If I covert it to utf-8 wowparser doesnt make the dbc:
