Using Mangos Zero for 1.12.1, can I import npc/item files from WotLK?

[SerrithX]

Hey everyone. I recently set up a 1.12.1 server using Mangos Zero and we are having a blast with it. But let me tell you, the creative side of me has gone wild thinking of all of the fun quest chains and rewards I could set up throughout Azeroth.

I was wondering if I could somehow import the graphic files from BC and WotLK's npcs and items?

example: I could make a custom Lich King NPC give out a really hard quest chain rewarding player's with a axe that looked like Shadowmourne. And I would alter the axe's stats to be in line with another axe of 1.12.1.

If I had the files in my DB's I know how to set up the quests and weapons. I just want to know how I could add the files to my DB without screwing up my server...or if it is even possible.

Thanks for any help you can give me

Hello, i think you can't do that without client alteration.

I think opposite will be easiest : Using a 3.3.5 client and configure account & DB to block extensions possibilities.

Thanks Karastra, I was afraid it was going to be something like that.

I wouldn't really know how to do what you suggested. I would have to use a 3.3.5 client and then downgrade it to patch 1.12.1. I don't want any of the patches past that implemented, so I'm not sure if that's possible.

Thanks again though, I'll see what I can come up with.

You can easyly block the usage of the extension in the realmd base.

Table : Account.

There is a Field Named Expansion. If the value is 0 player can use no extension, 1 TBC, 2 WOTLK.

After i think there is little work to adjust the stats of different element like items, creatures, ... but by tables comparison it's not impossible.
