Customizing Spells

[coldmrn]

Hey

In the old Ascent system there used to be a table called "Spells" where it had basically ALL the spells in just one long ass list.

Now since I'm running ArcEmu 2955, the tables have all changed and I don't exactly know where the spells are kept.

What I want to do:

Change the 60minutes on Hearthstone to 25/30minutes.
Change some names of the spells.

Thanks alot if you can help me.
Awarding alot of reps

Edit the cooldown on the hearthstone item in your db.

You can't really change the name of spells.... you could technically edit the dbcs, but it wouldn't show up on anyone's client.

you could have a mess about with the spell.cpp in arcemu > trunk > src > world
just make sure you make a backup before you start messing as C++ is a tricky language, 1 mistakes makes 30 errors :P

I looked at the item, but it just says spell, cooldown = 0

And was also trying to remove the global cooldown for Blink, as I made a item that allows you to blink, but it has a annoying global cooldown..

I just had a quick look at the Spell.dbc file. I noticed that in column 28 of the row where the Hearthstone spell's (3691) at the number is 3600000 (that's 1 hour in miliseconds for you, 1000*60*60).
Try changing that to the length of the cooldown you want to have. In your case, 1800000 (30 minutes).
If you want to edit a DBC file, convert it to a CSV file first (with DBCUtil for instance), then open it with a CSV editor (I use CSVed), change the stuff you want to change, save it, and convert it back to a DBC file again.

I've changed cooldown of hearthstone only by editing Spell.dbc just as said above. And put it to server and client directory. Although I'm using mangos I don't think it matters cos it's only dbc editing (correct me if I'm wrong) And cooldown appears correctly in game. Also I didn't use CSVed cos I think it's to slow. I simly opened converted file(csv) in text editor, found the name 'hearthstone' checked spellID and changed 3600000 value to my liking.

if u want the rest of players to see, you need to distribute a patch file to all players

Wouldn't it just work if I edited the DBC file that sits in the core, and all players should now see what I changed at the core?

DBC's are not in core their an external source.
