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

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...



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.
Code: [Select]
"Bla"..VariableName.."blubb"You now have to find out which variable is causing your problem and then initialize it correctly.

[attachment=0:2smgsnjz]NewRace.PNG[/attachment:2smgsnjz]Thank you for the tutorial.

I'm using wow 3.3.5a and trinitycore.  Trying to make the new races as shown in this Tut.

I've ran into a small problem.  I see in the thread this exact problem a few times, but no answers.

Screen Shot Attached....

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

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.
