Wiki updates and tools to create content


Astal

Recommended Posts

We need a way for us noobs to understand fields of the DBC files and some database fields as well. I know the wiki doesnt have much info. Also does anyone know how to make tools for item creation?

I know a bit of programming not much but i may be able to cobble together some kind of tool to create items easy for vanilla, there used to be one where you could select icon, all buff types ect... and have it put the item in the database without any trouble at all, im talking back when mangos 1.12.1 was the main emulator and had lots of bugs.

If anyone knows of any tools like that wants to develop or help develop one. or is able to add some info to fields in the wiki about items, spell bonuses, a list of usable spells ect.. that would be a great help for everyone.

Unfortunately we do not officially support custom content, like DBC editing etc. However, most of the information you seek can be found in the source itself, or in the database. You can also have a look at other resources like wow-v for an example of how said editor could work. Do mind, wow-v is primarily based on 3.3.5a.

Well if you wanna create new content you have to study a lot. I think without any tools it should be possible to create "new" Monsters / Bosses / Quests etc. and "new" Lootitems. You can change all in the Database with an SQL-Database-Editor like Heidi SQL. The official documentary site is a little bit superficial. There are better sites like cmangos.net for example. They have a very good site where many things are explained more deeply but it is still sometimes superficial. The database is almost the same so you can use the guide also for mangos zero.

If you wanna change the spells etc. you need a tool called mywarcraftstudio. With this tool you can patch your own game with mpq-files. Unfortunately there is no real guides outthere. So you have to study a lot by your own. Not everybody has the time for doing that and not everybody is intelligent enough to understand things without any explanation.

Well I have the time and the IQ. Of course I am no programmer. But still it was possible for me to write my first own scripted escort quest. That was hard work for me to understand the code etc. But now I can do it by my own. At least escort quests. I studied mangos zero the databases and even the source code several months before I was able to do that. Very often I wanted to give up. But later when I knew more I could do it.

I hope that I will be able to correct almost all mistakes in mangos zero one day. And there are still many mistakes in mangos zero. Well probably I have to study a lot of mathematics also. The Pythagoras sentence in vector calculation is already understandable for me but I know too less. May be in a few years I can solve some of the most annoying mistakes in the game.
