[Question] Changing a race's Faction? (Horde->Alliance)

[Renan]

I think I modified too much because it crashed when I used it.

Yeah doing unnecessary editing of 3 dbc files with no fucking idea what you are doing and crashing your client in result IS MUCH BUTTER then following my pictured manual and learning ChrRaces.dbc structure.

GL guys.

The edit of the ChrRaces.dbc was put into a patch and into the server DBC files. It didn't change or fix anything.


EXCEPT, of course, it did remove the blood elves from the creation screen.

Perhaps they were removed from the Horde-side in Character Create Menu because... No way... Dude.. It can't be... THEY ARE  ALLIANCE NOW  

[Amaroth]

Temptation_Town, you have a serious problem. Thats OK. What is not OK is that you are annoying us with it on purpouse. Just chill out and leave us alone.

WOW NO WAY
Except they're nowhere now. Thanks for nothing. You're honestly just proving to be an asshole with nothing better to do than sass people online. Go make better use of your time.
And, no, they aren't alliance. Hostile to alliance, friendly with horde. Not alliance.

Also, I did exactly what you told me to do and it didn't work. You have no right or reason to facepalm.


Edit: I changed the faction.dbc and the factiontemplate.dbc, as well as the chrraces.dbc and put them into the server and into a patch. The elf characters had an alliance flag but were friendly to horde, hostile to alliance, but the teleporter registered the elf as alliance and offered to port to alliance cities.

Not sure how to fix it so that the elf players are friendly to alliance and hostile to horde.

Another thing, every time I clear my cache and try to restart my client, SUDDENLY it just crashes. This happens every time, despite not even adjusting the patches I used in the slightest way.

You should fuck off and dont talk to me in that tone. That would be OK.

When I came to this thread the only answer was your "Om, idk dude, maybe check this pack of DBCs..."

I found time for this and gave him the best method I know to solve his problem.

Unlocking the BE buttom in CharacterCreate files after Team swap is another story, but we are so lucky to have some smart guy like you, so I will let myself not to help you anymore and watch from the distance how you little genius gonna make this.

So where did you stop your progress? Checking FactionTemplate data? Okay, I will not disturb you anymore.

You will not fix this. Go make better use of your time.

I can't believe what a self-righteous pile of garbage you are. You're far too angry, and over what? Nothing. You have almost no reason at all to be angry about anything and here you are choosing to be pissy about it. You may have originally had good intentions, but you have an awful execution.

[Amaroth]

I am nearly sure that some of the edits were not needed, but even this complete rush remake works for me. Absolutely no hostility problems. And also no problem with character creation screen, but I have edited LUA files (its quite some time since I saw them last time opened, and as well as in these DBCs I am not entirely sure what I did there with which reasons, I will have to find that out again). I have copied my BE related data on rows ID 2, ID 1 is human in all of DBCs. Just to compare them more easily.


You may only encounter some language problems, but you should be able to solve them via playercreate tables and wolrdserver config file, maybe you will also have to edit SkillRaceClassInfo.dbc. I just hope you won't have to visit that damned DBC, its quite a messy one.

And after that when I told you that your solution is unclean and not smart at all (and as Renan found out not even working) the best opposition you were able to give was to start saying that I don't know that DBC's structure, not even mentioning that I "can't understand a picture" and that thats not your problem. Nope, thats not your problem.

Your problem is that I know 90% of all WoW DBCs to the last damned column very well and that you are completely unable to deal with fact that you were not right for one time. While I told you for at least 2 times why my solution is right and gave you about 3 reasons for that, you just kept saying, lets make it short, that I am just some random idiot who doesn't know what he's doing. Deal with fact that I do know what I'm doing and why. Deal with fact that I wrote you reasons why I am doing what I was doing, while your best argument is that I should fuck off if I don't like easy retard-like solutions, which are violiting all base programming and database editing principles. You probably don't even know what I'm talking about. Most likely. Thats even more sad. Speaking aboout tone which I'm using when speaking to you... check YOUR tone first and read again what YOU wrote while using which tone.

You are arrogant prick. Gtfo, and learn to behave. Smash mirror on your head, then the second one, then the third one. After that you may facepalm, even for 3 times if you want to. GL.

Looking into your ChrRaces.dbc, it appears that on column 11, instead of 1096 there's 0x448. Not sure if that even matters.

Same in factiontemplate.dbc.

It seems as though everything else in our information is the same. Red names for alliance races when on helf char, friendly to horde.

[Amaroth]

1096 = 0x448. Its the same value. 1096 is decimal, 0x448 hexadecimal version. That should not matter. What isn't working for you now? My client is very, very far from blizzlike and server config and DB too, so some things which work for me won't work for you.

Friendly with horde, hostile to alliance (but they will not attack and I cannot attack them). So theyre technically alliance but still friendly with the horde for some reason.

[Amaroth]

Thats just strange. Are you sure that current verions of DBCs in:
1. your client patch
2. server DBCs
3. patch of client of player which is testing with you?

If you are, then I have just no idea. Check if all 3 places have the newest DBCs and that they are not overwritten by some other patches or such things.

I guess I'll run another test tonight. I could swear I had the patches in. But the horde NPCs would attack me regardless of my patch, I thought.

[Renan]

I guess I managed to somewhat get it to work, but now I guess I need to manually adjust the reputations of every Blood Elf so that they're of the alliance. When adjusted to exalted with alliance, I could interract with NPCs and everything, but I couldn't actually see their reputations in the rep window and I was friendly with horde (likely due to default reputation).

Reputations and NPC interaction are the most simple things here.

Did you check player interaction?  Can you invitetrade with human, dwarf and others with your BE char?
