Names

[darkjoy2k2]

Can someone show me where the point is, where the name of gameobjects are given to the client?

Looking for it but cant figure it out...

guess it goes with GetNameForLocaleIdx!?

tried for fun

gameobject.cpp line 142

/    SetUInt32Value(GAMEOBJECT_DISPLAYID, goinfo->displayId);
   SetUInt32Value(GAMEOBJECT_DISPLAYID, 499);

now every gameobject looks like a grave...

but how should it look for the displayed name?

target: i added data to gameobject who shows the one that created it... i have a dead player that drops a chest with the image of a gravestone and the Name "Grave". i want to bring in checks, that adds the creators name to the displayed name when the special gameobject is at hand... (e.g. PLAYERNAME+"´s "+GAMEOBJECT_NAME" / Peter´s Grave

displayid is not the name :-)

i found only this lines about names:

// overwrite WorldObject function for proper name localization
const char* GameObject::GetNameForLocaleIdx(int32 loc_idx) const
{
   if (loc_idx >= 0)
   {
       GameObjectLocale const *cl = sObjectMgr.GetGameObjectLocale(GetEntry());
       if (cl)
       {
           if (cl->Name.size() > (size_t)loc_idx && !cl->Name[loc_idx].empty())
               return cl->Name[loc_idx].c_str();
       }
   }

   return GetName();
}

but i dont know how it works :-)

looking at heugabel's code you need to modify the GetNameForLocaleIdx to return the player's name too, or edit all places where GetNameForLocaleIDX gets called.

the thing with the displayid was an example...

modiefied the code but dont get any effect in the client...

// overwrite WorldObject function for proper name localization
const char* GameObject::GetNameForLocaleIdx(int32 loc_idx) const
{
   if (loc_idx >= 0)
   {
       GameObjectLocale const *cl = sObjectMgr.GetGameObjectLocale(GetEntry());
       if (cl)
       {
           if (cl->Name.size() > (size_t)loc_idx && !cl->Name[loc_idx].empty())
               return "schwanz";
     //         return cl->Name[loc_idx].c_str();

       }
   }
                   return "schwanz";
 //  return GetName();
}

same goes for Creature:GetNameForLocaleIdx

but i dont see any effect ingame...

thats the only 2 funcs where GetNameForLocaleIdx is used

what you want to do is not possible. name is cached on clientside.

Cached as in the WDB files or as in the DBC files, either way it ain't possible to give the stones a specific name

well, sorry but i must disagree... the MANGOS loads the DATABASE... if i name a item in the database a "Stupid faggot" the game item is displayed as it! the client not directly accesse´s the database... so there must be a possible way, but i already realize that its easier to simply write a new gameobject_template where i can set the name as i want!
