a description to the fields of vehicle.dbc is needed.
EDIT: i found this in dbcstructure.h:
struct VehicleEntry
{
uint32 m_ID; // 0
uint32 m_flags; // 1
float m_turnSpeed; // 2
float m_pitchSpeed; // 3
float m_pitchMin; // 4
float m_pitchMax; // 5
uint32 m_seatID[8]; // 6-13
float m_mouseLookOffsetPitch; // 14
float m_cameraFadeDistScalarMin; // 15
float m_cameraFadeDistScalarMax; // 16
float m_cameraPitchOffset; // 17
//int m_powerType[3]; // removed in 3.1
//int m_powerToken[3]; // removed in 3.1
float m_facingLimitRight; // 18
float m_facingLimitLeft; // 19
float m_msslTrgtTurnLingering; // 20
float m_msslTrgtPitchLingering; // 21
float m_msslTrgtMouseLingering; // 22
float m_msslTrgtEndOpacity; // 23
float m_msslTrgtArcSpeed; // 24
float m_msslTrgtArcRepeat; // 25
float m_msslTrgtArcWidth; // 26
float m_msslTrgtImpactRadius[2]; // 27-28
char* m_msslTrgtArcTexture; // 29
char* m_msslTrgtImpactTexture; // 30
char* m_msslTrgtImpactModel[2]; // 31-32
float m_cameraYawOffset; // 33
uint32 m_uiLocomotionType; // 34
float m_msslTrgtImpactTexRadius; // 35
uint32 m_uiSeatIndicatorType; // 36
// 37, new in 3.1
// 38, new in 3.1
// 39, new in 3.1
};
EDIT 2:
You can open a DBC file with: [mangos source]\\contrib\\dbcEditer\\bin\\pjDbcEditer.exe
It works only under Windows, I dont know if its a similar app for linux too.
