So, I'll explain how to add a race. Warning, we will not cover the preparation of the model but the introduction of race IG.
For this we take as support races already made by Blizzard but inactive. We will see how to add the race of Goblins and Fel Orcs.
- Warning
I'm using version 3.3.2a of World of Warcraft and a core MaNGOS 3.3.2a for my changes. Perhaps, you will need to adapte modifications.

[li]Information
When you edit a file, always take the most recent, ie one who is in the patch
[official] with the highest number.[/list]

Changing the screen character creation
In this step, we will see only how change the display of character creation. At the end, the icons will be available with descriptions, etc ....
Open ChrRaces.dbc and modify the lines in connection with race Goblin and Fel Orcs.
Find :
[spoiler:154yd541]9,1,1,0x0,6894,6895,"Go",7,7,15007,0x448,"Goblin",0,0x2,,,"Gobelin",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,"Gobeline",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,,,"Gobelin",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,"NORMAL","NONE","NORMAL",0,
12,5,1,0x0,16981,16980,"Fo",7,7,15007,0x448,"FelOrc",0,0x2,,,"Gangr'orc",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,"Gangr'orque",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,,,"Gangr'orc",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,"NORMAL","NORMAL","NORMAL",0,[/spoiler:154yd541]
2nd column, it must change by 12 for the race is playable.
4th column defines the faction of the race, see Faction.dbc
8th column, 1 for horde and 7 for alliance.
For exemple :
[spoiler:154yd541]9,12,1,4140,6894,6895,"Go",1,7,15007,0x448,"Goblin",0,0x2,,,"Gobelin",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,"Gobeline",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,,,"Gobelin",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,"NORMAL","NONE","NORMAL",0,
12,12,1,4141,16981,16980,"Fo",7,7,15007,0x448,"FelOrc",0,0x2,,,"Gangr'orc",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,"Gangr'orque",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,,,"Gangr'orc",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01CC,"NORMAL","NORMAL","NORMAL",0,[/spoiler:154yd541]
Then open CharBaseInfo.dbc, this file determines the pairs race / class.
We will for now keep it simple and add two lines to the file:
9,1,
12,1,
9 and 12 are the IDs of both races and 1 the ID of the warrior. Only warriors can be created for the moment, you can add other combinations if you want.
Then to edit the following files without problems when starting WoW.exe, we must apply this tutorial. It must be a IDA to remove the check file integrity Interface of World of Warcraft :
http://yias.de/forum/f62/lua-xml-check-der-wow-exe-entfernen-808/
Once done, open the following files :
InterfaceGlueXMLGlueStrings.lua (Data/frFR/patch-frFR-3.MPQ)
InterfaceGlueXMLCharacterCreate.lua (Data/frFR/patch-frFR-2.MPQ)
InterfaceGlueXMLCharacterCreate.xml (Data/frFR/patch-frFR-2.MPQ)
I said the filepath where I found them but we must always take the most recent.
In GlueStrings.lua :
Find :
RACE_CHANGE_IN_PROGRESS = "Mise à jour de la race...";
Add after :
RACE_INFO_GOBLIN = "Informations sur les Gobelins.";
RACE_INFO_GOBLIN_FEMALE = "Informations sur les Gobelines.";
RACE_INFO_FELORC = "Informations sur les Gangr'orcs.";
RACE_INFO_FELORC_FEMALE = "Informations sur les Gangr'orques.";
Find :
ABILITY_INFO_BLOODELF1 = "- Compétence Enchantement améliorée.";
Add before :
ABILITY_INFO_GOBLIN1 = "- Compétence Gobelins, ligne 1";
ABILITY_INFO_GOBLIN2 = "- Compétence Gobelins, ligne 2";
ABILITY_INFO_GOBLIN3 = "- Compétence Gobelins, ligne 3";
ABILITY_INFO_GOBLIN4 = "- Compétence Gobelins, ligne 4";
ABILITY_INFO_FELORC1 = "- Compétence Gangr'Orcs, ligne 1";
ABILITY_INFO_FELORC2 = "- Compétence Gangr'Orcs, ligne 2";
ABILITY_INFO_FELORC3 = "- Compétence Gangr'Orcs, ligne 3";
ABILITY_INFO_FELORC4 = "- Compétence Gangr'Orcs, ligne 4";
Lines change according to your desires, they appear when selecting characters.
In CharacterCreate.lua :
Find :
MAX_RACES = 10;
Replace by :
MAX_RACES = 12;
Find :
["DRAENEI_MALE"] = {0.5, 0.625, 0, 0.25},
["DRAENEI_FEMALE"] = {0.5, 0.625, 0.5, 0.75},
Add after :
["GOBLIN_MALE"] = {0.5, 0.625, 0, 0.25},
["GOBLIN_FEMALE"] = {0.5, 0.625, 0, 0.25},
["FELORC_MALE"] = {0.5, 0.625, 0, 0.25},
["FELORC_FEMALE"] = {0.5, 0.625, 0, 0.25},
Increases the maximum of races and set of icons.

Display helmets
Open ChrRaces.dbc :
At the 7th column, you have the abbreviation of the race, eg Go for GOBLIN. This abbreviation is actually only used for display helmet. You can modify an abbreviation of existing race for the helmets appear, for example by replacing Hu.
Problem: The helmets are misplaced, such as too forward, too high, etc. ... To fix this, simply move the Attachment Point No. 11 (which corresponds to the placement of the helmet) on two M2 model race (GoblinMale.m2 and GoblinFemale.m2 for example). You can use Mod-It for this.
There are other more "clean" way to fix helmets but longer.

Activating languages and skills
Basically, you can not learn language or skills. Indeed, the game uses a verification which is configured for each Skills. We will have to modify all the skills you'll want that the race will be use.
We'll take the example of the Common Language (Skill n°98).
Open SkillLineAbility.dbc :
Find :
590,98,668,1101,0,,,1,0,0x2,0,0,,,
We must consider the 4th column, the 1101 value. Transform this number into binary (eg with http://www.michelcarrare.com/demos/converter.php) (http://www.michelcarrare.com/demos/converter.php%29) You will find in our case:
10001001101
Every "1" allows the Skill for the race with ID equal to the position :
IDRace : 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1
1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1
It is necessary to put 1 for the ID of your race. For the goblin, its ID 9, so we have:
IDRace : 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1
1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1
Then just reprocess this new value in decimal :
(bin)10101001101 = (dec)1357
So, we have this :
590,98,668,1357,0,,,1,0,0x2,0,0,,,
- Hey! And if my ID is 14 to the race? How can I do?
Well it is the same way, by adding 0:
IDRace : 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1
1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1
[/li][/list]
Open SkillRaceClassInfo.dbc :
Find :
40,98,1101,1535,0x80,0x0,0,0x0,
You see the 1101 in the 3rd column? Do as above.
- Reminder
You must do this for all Skills that you want to allow.
[/li][/list]
- Information
This technique can be used on your existing races, particularly for languages.

Activating reputations
Open Faction.dbc :
For example, suppose we want allow reputation Stormwind for Goblin, find :
72,19,1100,690,0x1,0x0,0,0,0x0,0x0,3100,-42000,4000,0,0x111,6,0x11,0x0,469,1.0,0.25,7,5,,,"Hurlevent",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,"Cette capitale de l’Alliance est l’un des derniers bastions de la puissance des humains. Elle est gouvernée par le roi Varian Wrynn, revenu après une disparition mystérieuse.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,
Well take this part of the line :
1100, 690, 0x1, 0x0,[...] 3100, -42000, 4000,0,
Races 1 | Races 2 | Races 3 | Races 4 | Rep for races 1 | Rep for races 2 | Rep for races 3 ...You understand? 1100 corresponds to all races of the alliance except humans who begin the game with 3,100 reputation. 690 races is the hord, they begin with -42,000 and finally 1 for humans starting with 4000.
So if we want Goblins (ID 9) can start with 3100 (and that reputation is allowed to be used for this race and saved by the server), you must edit 1100 by 1356 (detailed explanations in the activation of languages and skills).
We must do this for all Reputations. No worries, using "Replace All" with your favorite text editor, it will save time.
For example: 1791 means all races of the alliance. So if the goblin is in the alliance, we must add to all the "1791" be replaced 1791 by 2047. Then do manual handling to the capitals (as Stormwind).
That's all for the moment !
Races operational! Good luck.
- Important : With this, you will not have a complete race, you need to edit more and more files to have a "Blizzlike race".
If you find any improvements or bugs, thank you for the report.

To bad They didn't Make the +Cookies/Rep Button yet..
This realy deserves My Rep ! ++
I was looking for a Tutorial like this for a long time :D
Thanks Alot :)
-
Yeah thanks a lot for this!
Great tutorial , well written and sure good for ppl who would like to add a new race.
We won't add a rep system because we think that this destroyed the modding community^^
Modding is fun and you gain much from it. As we see someone who really contributes good stuff, he will get a special rank. We created many individual ranks for this ;)
Tutorials , showoffs and so on are a good way to gain such a special rank!

Hi! i have a couple of questions:
1.- Should i create a new patch, like a "Patch-X.MPQ" for the DBC and interface files? or should i repack them into the original WOW files? I tried making it as a "Patch-X", but wow just won't start. gives me an "interface files damaged, reinstall" message. Of course, if i remove the patch, wow works just fine. (Version 3.3.5a). Removing the XML file from the patch seems to correct this, but when y try to create a character, the game will crash.
-Edit: Yes, i've already removed the wow.exe lua-xml edit protection.
2.- Before making this patch, you say that i need to prepare the model. That means, the "blocked" races dont have a model assigned? i haven't done anything before this tutorial, so that might explain some of the crashes that i am getting.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for revive topic but when i do all what is in Tutorial it's give me

Hi.
(Sorry if this question to stupid)
I want to make Blood Elves on Alliance side. I make changes in ChrRaces.dbc. In 8th column change 1 to 7(for alliance). Other values(in other files) are already exist and correct(as I can understand ). But, when I connect to server and make new char, it was steel on the horde side. When I tread to write somethings to chat or speak to any nps, it write me that i don't know this language.
Please help me, what's wrong?
-
I'm having a couple issues, First of all, I can't edit CharBaseInfo.dbc. It says it's unsupported, but I can edit any other dbc file.
Also, after I edit the .lua fand .xml files I get an error when launching wow.(I'm not sure if it's from the check removal or the editing of these files) but it says something about destructible model data or something not having enough columns. expected 19, returned 17.
-
Try an other DBC editor like MYDBCEditor form the resources.
-
Then to edit the following files without problems when starting WoW.exe, we must apply this tutorial. It must be a IDA to remove the check file integrity Interface of World of Warcraft :

Can someone update this part? Cuz Link dosent work :/

Laniax posted a tool that unsigs the exe here: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=181&p=5336#p5336 (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=181&p=5336#p5336)
And ofc there's the tutorial to do it by hand in the thread. :)

I've tried this tutorial.
Now, I'm not doing this with Mangos, but with Trinity. It is to my understanding that Trinity is based of the Mangos source so adapting the instructions wasn't hard. (Just one modification in the code to the source.)

};
First row, added "RACE_NONE = 0" and I could compile the core.[/spoiler:26z9p9a8]
At first, I thought I had it all down, pretty much.
Anyways, I started to create a couple of new races, based of the original ones (like adding a new human etc.).
When it came down to testing it out, it didn't work.
I broke it all down a couple of times to really make sure no misstakes were made, whatsoever.
I didn't get it to work so I threw all the work away and decided to do exactly what the tutorial says, and not jump to my own conclusions or attempt anything else. Educational, you know.
Doing this, following the guide step by step, carefully, on an untoutched DB, compiling the unmodifyed serversource-code, I get the exact same error:
InterfaceGlueXMLGlueParent.lua:391:Usage: PlayGlueAmbience("soundname","(optional)fade in time")
This is after logging on, at the character selection screen, black with no background.
And this:
InterfaceGlueXMLCharacterCreate.lua:182 attempt to index local 'coords' (a nil value)
This leaves me with roughly half of the race icons badly messed up.
Going back to the character selection screen gives me following error:
InterfaceGlueXMLCharacterSelect.lua:49: Usage: PlayGlueAmbience("soundname","(optional)fade in time")
Editing the GlueParent.lua didn't make much difference... though something tells me that's where the bad stuff is going on...
I even made some backwards engineering, removing several original races (and classes) to gain some understanding.
Anyway, as the tutorial was made for 3.3.2a, this is being attempted on Wow 3.3.5a Im thinking, perhaps there are more features to change in this version of the GlueXML's?
Has anyone "ported" this tutorial to 3.3.5a with success?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance //S
****
EDIT:
Seems to be a little tougher to edit the 3.3.5a LUA-XML than 3.2.2a.
Editing the character creation screen by adding races actually works in 3.2.2a.
Now, my build is failing to compile for some reason -.- dunno why, since exactly what I'm doing right now worked just like a charm with trinity 3.3.5....
========== Build: 10 succeeded, 3 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Anyways, since I'm not particulary interrested in making any of the currently existing non-playable races into a playable one, but rather make a few completely new races, I'm wondering : The core and database speaks of races ID's from 1 to 21... so... is it possible to add races beyond 21, i.e raceID 22 - alieninvader... or whatever? Or do I have to completely overhaul (let's say) the Nagas or something - discluding that race from the game to be able to "add" a new one?
It'd be nice to talk to someone with experience around this.
Ciao!
****
EDIT:
Problems with compiling the core was 3x severe sloppyness. Looking it over the next day pretty much made me see my error. Guess I just had to sleep on it. ^^

I'm trying this tutorial to wow 3.3.5a and before starting on this tutorial my own little private server worked fine...now i added my GlueXML files etc. and now when i want to check if the races are showing wow crashes and tells me that BattlemasterList.dbc has wrong number of columns (found 35, expected 32)....
Why oh Why??? I did nothing to the battlemasterlist database file and I really do not understand why this is happening....can any1 help me out???
*edit*
Ignore this part....i didn't made a good patch file so now it works fine :) But now the problem is i don't see the extra char. panels i the character creation panel. I do see 2 extra spaces for the new characters but i can not select them....
Thanks in advance

http://www.mediafire.com/?h07ugzqyziwnbyi (http://www.mediafire.com/?h07ugzqyziwnbyi" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) Try using this BattlemasterList.dbc, it's the latest rev straight from Patch-enUS-3.MPQ, so it should have the correct column count.
-
Hi nnhmeisink!
Perhaps you already know everything I write here, perhaps not.
If you haven't modifyed it, check if you've added dbc-files to your "patch-x.MPQ", then perhaps you've accidently added the wrong version into your "patch-x.MPQ"-file. The most recent version of the file should be located in your "patch-enUS-3.MPQ", if , of course, you have the enUS version.
If the file is located in some of your more recent official "patch-en/es/de....or..whatever... .MPQ", all my experience can tell you is that something probably prevents Wow from loading the 'current'... or rather, the expected version of the BattlemasterList.dbc file.
Perhaps you are editing existing, official MPQ's instead of creating your own patches and somehow corrupted the files?
if not, have you done this?
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=181 (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=181" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
As an easier alternative Laniax uploaded an automatic patcher for the 3.3.5a client wow.exe. I've confirmed it to work perfectly with the enUS version.
This sort of message only occurs when I'm in the middle of editing/gathering resources, and I try to load Wow.exe, but forgot to close all MPQ-files that I have opened with my MPQ-editor.
If you've read my previous post, I've tried this with the 3.3.5a client withour success, and I haven't talked to anyone who has succeeded to do this. My failure lies in that I sort of drowned in the XML-LUA swamp... Seems to be a bit trickier with the 3.3.5a version than in the 3.2.2a...
Anyway, I'm uploading for you, the 'expected' version of BattlemasterList.dbc for the enUS 3.3.5a client. I have also uploaded the automatic unsig ptacher for the 3.3.5a client. Should be two attatchments. This is all I can do to help.
Please know that I am eager to hear how this turns out for you. If you'd manage to pull this off, it would be very interresting to hear about it.
-
Yaaay! I've got it working!
Thanks for this amazing tutorial!
At the moment I have just been testing out by "cloning" the human race.
One of them is Alliance, the other one is Horde.
Some things are messed up, like skills, languages and factionstandings, plus there aren't any quests avaliable for theese races at the moment. The alliance human doesn't seem to come with any startoutfit and there are some minnor issues. Regardless, this is only the result of experimenting for educational purposes
I'm posting a few screenshots of the result.
PS! nevermind that wierd-looking character creation screen. It's nothing but random tampering.

@ TheSixth
Thnx for the info...you were right, i made an error in my patch xD stupid me....but the problem now is that i have done everything correctly (i think) but the extra char. panels are not showing in the character creation screen...the panels are moved so there is extra space but i dont see anything there
And a 2nd question for these steps:
SET @NEW_RACE = 9; -- ID of adding race.
SET @NEW_CLASS = 1; -- ID of class of the new race.
SET @COPY_RACE = 1; -- ID of the race where we copy datas.
DELETE FROM `playercreateinfo_spell` WHERE race = @NEW_RACE AND class = @NEW_CLASS ;
INSERT INTO `playercreateinfo_spell` (`race`, `class`, `Spell`, `Note`)
SELECT @NEW_RACE, @NEW_CLASS, `Spell`, `Note` FROM `playercreateinfo_spell` WHERE race = @COPY_RACE AND class = @NEW_CLASS;
Wich file do i edit and how? I don't really get this part:S
Sorry for me being a noob xD
Thanks in advance

Yaaay! I've got it working!
Any info on the whole GlueParent.lua thing? Still no luck here. I'm new to xml and lua, so it's all a mystery to me really.
Thanks in advance.

As this Lua stuff is the same as AddOns read the existing docs you find in the web.

@thesixth: You need to update the MySQL DB of the Server for many stuff. Like start equipment.

Hey there.
I just visited this topic. I only got two questions or maybe problems.
1 - we should have done something for the wow to allow the reading of those settings we changed in lua files for the game. that link was broken and I couldnt do that so now when I start wow it gives me the error of "some of your interface files are corrupted" or something like this. a link to that thing would be very helpful.
2 - in my mangos core (latest revision) the shareddefines.h file is exactly like you mentioned here but it has one difference. for example RACE_HUMAN = 1; and for goblin it is the same :D I mean there is no // before that line that relates to goblins. not only goblins of course. this // is excluded from all the races in the file no matter playable or not.
thanks..

Hello guys,
Dont forget to change racebitmasks in quest_template table of your db. If you wont change your bitmasks,
your races will be useless

I'm having this same error (Involving the missing panels.) I'm using a 3.3.5a client, and according to the tutorial, there's a section for changing race icons but a blank space instead of anything explaining it.
To change the display of icons for the races.
At this step you should have your 2 races select on the character creation.
<Image as displayed on the original post>
I think because of that missing part we can't get this tutorial done completely? I'm currently just trying to get the client to see more races as well as additional race/class combinations, but it's proving a bit impossible race wise in terms of the new races (Naga and Taunka in my case) appearing on the character creation screen. Below is what I see on my client...
(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii30/Shakar666/missingpanels.png)
And this is with no errors being reported by the game client.

Fix the nil-value dereference.
-
You try to concatenate a string with a nil (not set) variable. Look in your lua at the given position. Concatenation is done by: .. (double dots) E.g.
"Bla"..VariableName.."blubb"You now have to find out which variable is causing your problem and then initialize it correctly.

Mhm i can't find the nill value :( sorry i am blind ?

Anyone know how to fix this??

I saw this a while ago on Ownedcore. Are you the same author or somebody else?

Hey I'm new to modding and I ran into a little problem.
When I open the DBC files in Notepad++ all I get is NUL values, why is this?
EDIT:
I would post a pic but it seems I am unable to because of my low postcount
-
When I open the DBC files in Notepad++ all I get is NUL values, why is this?
DBCs are binary files. Opening them in a text editor will only result in breaking them.
-
Oh right.
well I looked around and found some DBC editing files.
But when I get to opening the CharBaseInfo.dbc it crashes and says invalid fieldsize 1.
what does that mean?
-
you should try dbcutil to convert it into .csv file.
-
Thanks Moridhin
That works :D
EDIT:
New problem!
How do I do the next part so I can find the GlueXML cause the tutorial linked is broken.
-
New question.
How do I turn off the Read-Only thingy in my MPQ editor so I can change the GlueStrings.lua?
cause atm I can't add or take from the MPQ
-
Secondary button->Properties->security->Edit
And give all the permissions for yout user group.
But it´s not recomended to edit blizz MPQs, you should make one new.
-
Well I made a new one as you suggested and all that blah blah blah.
so I saved and opened WoW and uh... well...
The orc selection moved to the alliance side o.O
what'd I do wrong?
EDIT: Character creation wont even open now
-
Could be lots of errors. Paste your modified files in pastebien or wherever

would be nice if somebody could update this or share how they got it to work

I've now tried to accomplish adding the goblin and fel orc race to my custom patch but every time I get to this point:

And I can't seem to figure what I did wrong, I double checked I did everything the guide said and still there's a mistake somewhere... If someone could help me it'd be very good, thank you :-)

RACE_HUMAN = 1,
RACE_ORC = 2,
RACE_DWARF = 3,
RACE_NIGHTELF = 4,
RACE_UNDEAD_PLAYER = 5,
RACE_TAUREN = 6,
RACE_GNOME = 7,
RACE_TROLL = 8,
//RACE_GOBLIN = 9,
RACE_BLOODELF = 10,
RACE_DRAENEI = 11,
//RACE_FEL_ORC = 12,
//RACE_NAGA = 13,
RACE_BROKEN = 14,

RACE_HIGHELF = 24,
RACE_DEATHELF = 25

______________

Thanks and sorry for my english.

Nice tutorial :) thnx
-
every time i try to open CharBaseInfo it keeps giving Invalid fieldsize: 1. i have tryed other Dbc editors but nothings working.
-
You must use DBCUtil.exe (http://code.google.com/p/cntc2/downloads/detail?name=DBCUtil.rar&can=2&q=) to work with non-standard files.

ok. i have 2 more problems now. first when it said i should have the 2 races added when i went into the game nothing change. i added the files to the server. i am using trinity for my server not mangos. tried running mangos but i couldnt connect to the mysql. which brings me to my second problem, i tried to go on and solve the first problem later but i dont know how to with trinity. should i just try to get mangos working and forget trinity or does it make a difference. thanks for everything.

What DBC editor are you guys using? im using Taliis, but it seems i cant add a new row with it, HALP!
-
MyDbcEditor

MyDbcEditor
You need to train someone.

Taliis works fine. Just select the row, right click, and hit clone selected row.
-
NEVER EVER EVER EVER use Taliis.
Use Mydbc editor!
TAliis is outdated as hell and kills nearly 60% of all your data on editing them!
-
Anyone got a fix for the black login screen yet?
Everything seems to check out. I don't know what's causing this.
Why is there no documentation whatsoever on this shit?!
-
I had been struggling with that problem as well, but then I came across this guide on EmuDevs: emudevs(dot)com/showthread(dot)php/121-How-to-Custom-Races
It seems like the site is down at the moment, so I can explain what to do here.
Open up GlueParent.lua and search for:
GlueAmbienceTracks["DEATHKNIGHT"] = "GlueScreenIntro";Then under that you want to add this line if you added the Goblin race. Do the same thing for all the other races that you added.
GlueAmbienceTracks["GOBLIN"] = "GlueScreenIntro";
Then search for:
DEATHKNIGHT = {
{1, 0, 0.00000, 0.00000, -1.00000, 1.0, 0.38824, 0.66353, 0.76941, 1.0, 0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000},
},and add this below:
GOBLIN = {
{1, 0, 0.00000, 0.00000, -1.00000, 1.0, 0.15000, 0.15000, 0.15000, 1.0, 0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000},
{1, 0, -0.74919, 0.35208, -0.56103, 1.0, 0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000, 1.0, 0.44706, 0.54510, 0.73725},
{1, 0, 0.53162, -0.84340, 0.07780, 1.0, 0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000, 2.0, 0.55, 0.338625, 0.148825},
},Do the same thing for any other races you added.
Then search for:
function SetBackgroundModel(model, name)This is where you set the backgrounds. Replace the whole function with this:
function SetBackgroundModel(model, name)
local nameupper = strupper(name);
if (name == "Goblin" or name == "GOBLIN") then
name = "Orc";
end
local path = "Interface\Glues\Models\UI_"..name.."\UI_"..name..".m2";
if ( model == CharacterCreate ) then
SetCharCustomizeBackground(path);
else
SetCharSelectBackground(path);
end
PlayGlueAmbience(GlueAmbienceTracks[nameupper], 4.0);
SetLighting(model, nameupper)
endThat will set the Goblin's background to the Orc one.
And like I said previously, do the same thing for any other races that you added. ;)
After that your races should have a working background!

I already did that, it's still black.
And for all races.

I have a question about this guide: if not mistaken, considering what I read, this guide is to create and keep in the database a new race.
But I wonder how would succeed to the new playable race is really in the game? you make it through an aura? or adding to the character creation screen? And if one of these two options were correct, how you would?
Thanks for your time guys.

You're either lying about reading the guide or didn't read everything.
This is a guide on how to active inactive races within the game.
These races must be defined for them to be activated.
This guide shows you how to activate the Goblin and Fel Orc races and make them playable and attach them to a faction and enable classes on them.
With that you should be able to use your head and activate the rest of the races and add factions and classes to them.

Tell me why you take this so serious? Why you get rude and angry so easily?
I'm going to be clear: i'm a noob on this things, i came here to learn something about it.
Don't be rude with me by an internet forum, is not only discourteous, is coward also because you don't say those things personally.
Going back to the topic, i ask how models become playable in-game. How they appear? Need create an aura? need create an empty space for that in the character creation screen?
That's all. Cya.

You're to arrogant to notice that I did tell you the answer you were looking for and some how I came off as serious and angry?
I assure I'm not angry or serious, this is a hobby not a job and I come here to help people and if for some reason that came off to you as serious or angry then that's on you.
If you actually took the time to read the entire guide you would see that he explains how the races become playable... None of this "Need create an aura" crap.... Just read the guide everything you need to know is covered....
Also just in case that you are this isn't for a repack user, you have to compile the server yourself to be able to to do this.
So again l say read/follow the guide and you will be able to activate all the playable races and well play them...

and yet, do not answer if you need to add the race in the character creation screen, which is one of my main questions and a point that the guide does not mention.
You were rude from the start for no reason, creating your own prejudiced assumptions. I am someone with a simple question, and you acted almost as if I had insulted your mom.
Seriously dude, take it more calmly, you're not seeing the whole picture.
And if you still want to continue arguing with me, do it for PM. This forum is not for this sort of thing. I just looking for a simple answer to a technical question.
-
I'm not arguing with you... the guide tells you how to add them in the character creation screen if you read it...
You edit the LUA, XML and dbc files for it to show on the creation screen which the guide does cover...

Thank you, that's was all i need to know. Sorry if i didn't see before.
