How do I extract the latest *.dbc files' structure

[ptrts]

Hello everyone!

I mean names and types of the columns, how do people get it?

[Lynx3d]

Tedious research. basically.

The files themselves don't contain any info about it.

[ptrts]

You mean research on the client's assembler's language code?

Is there any info about the files' structures close to 14480

Btw, a guy who posted this http://paste2.org/p/1388089 told he got it with some "script"

[Lynx3d]

Assembly normally doesn't contain any variable names either...

AFAIK some 4.x mac clients accidently (?) were released with debug info, which allowed to extract named structs. No idea if it's still the case...i'm not the binary dissection guru here

That... is amazing. Thank you.

It would be interesting to look at in any case. A lot of stuff that is still UNK in mangos might be able to be figured out.

I'm working on a DBCTool_fielddefs.ini with all that information for 3.3.5.

That's actually structs generated by my IDA script from leaked internal cataclysm alpha build WoW [Release Assertions Enabled] Build 11792 (Apr 1 2010) (as you can see it was build even before 3.3.5 ). There's small differences between structs in 11792 and 12340, but mostly they are same.

You can download the field names and types for DBC Tool here http://filebeam.com/7aa8a958eea198ba1f45cc69b86310d6

Also this was my 2^10th post.

Thank you guys

Here's another link i got from another forum for those who are interested

I have to correct myself, the mac clients just aren't stripped, which means all function names are available. So the few leaked internal builds are the only source so far that reveals the original DBC struct member names.

Sorry for offtopic: could anyone upload WoW [Release Assertions Enabled] Build 11792 (Apr 1 2010) binary mentioned by TOM_RUS? I wasn't able to find it anywhere on the net.
