TRUE Custom Object Tutorial [ How to find your own displayids! ]

[Flame_Warrior]

Hello mmowned community! I have decided to make a tutorial on how to find your own game object display ids!!!

It is quite simple really. You will need Mywarcraftstudios, and Wow Model Viewer is optional. Both links are here:

Mywarcraftstudio - WoWDev
WoW Model Viewer


So now that you have both of those programs downloaded, you will need to know what to do with them right?

Here is what you need to do. NOTE: i do not have pictures because i dont know how to save a screen shot with vista. Sorry!

If you follow these steps, you will not need pictures. Here is what you do, if you are using model viewer also. Open up wow mv, and go to world. Open up anything, and look around. Once you find something you like, remember the name, and open up MyWarcraftStudios.

Now that you have that open, you are going to want to open up a patch. Click on the folder icon on the top left hand side of the program. Or another way of doing this is Pack/Edit MPQ Archive. It should bring up a browser. Go to C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\enus\Patch-enUS.MPQ.

Now that you have this open, you should see a treepath with Three folders. DBFilesClient, Interface, and Sound. Go ahead and open up DBFilesClient. Now you should see a ton of different files. Scroll down until you reach the G section. (it is in alphabetical order) Now open up GameObjectDisplayInfo.dbc. Click on it once, and you should have opened up a Database Cache. It should have a Search bar with a Find and Next button to the right of it.

Now, remember that name of the object you wanted? type it in the search bar. Press find, not enter. If nothing happens, DO NOT FREAK OUT!! it is normal, and a lot of objects are not there. Not all wmo's have gameobject displayids. In order to find the next displayid, press next. EXAMPLE: I search house. one comes up, but i want another house displayid. I press next, and another one comes up.

You should see, that to the left of the names, there is a number. This is the displayid. Congratulations, you now have a displayid of this object!!

Time for the types. Types are very hard to determine, but All buildings are 14, and rest are usually 5 or 6. An object that casts spells are type 22, but that is a whole different tutorial. Feel free to pm me about it though, for i know all there is to know about it.

I truly hope this helped!! It helped me when i learned it, for now my server is pretty insane.

GOOD LUCK!

Very Useful man... But I can't even log onto heidi sql.. wait.. do you even need that?

[Flame_Warrior]

You need heidiSQL in order to create the gameobject. You are most likely having trouble "loging on" to heidiSQL because you are not running mysql and apache. If you have arcemu repack, its start background. if its ac-web repack its server/mysql start and apache start. Other than that, all this guide does, is tells you how to get gameobject displayids, so that you can go into heidisql, or navicat, or whatever database organizer you use, and create gameobjects for your private server. Here is another one of my guides that explains it in more depth.

haha finally i logged on.. Do I need Heidi for a lot of things in private server?? and dude I suggest you make a youtube vid. I bet you get many views

[Ebon]

You don't have to use HeldiSQL... you could use SQLyog or Navicat. All you need to do is make the SQL Querys. Or edit the tables.

Wow, that's a pain to read.

[Flame_Warrior]

so anyone think this was helpful?

[Sandile]

yeh, but isn't it something like only .wmo files works to put into the server?

[Flame_Warrior]

well yes, but mywarcraftstudios only has wmo displayids. you are right, with wow mv, usually, only the wmos can be used. Not all of them though.
