[Guide] Changing zone names and stuff..

[Le Froid]

I barely know any model editing as I started yesterday But while I was exploring it and stuff I decided to change some zone names.

Required stuff: Tools in http://www.mmowned.com/forums/model-...haracters.html
( dbcutil and csv credits to demon)

How to:

1) Go to my warcraft studio (I can't really have a SS of it without comp crashing, only worked like 2 out of 500 times for me) and select Pack MPQ, then edit archive, then select {Wow folder}\Data\en-(US or GB)\patch-en(US or GB)-2

2) Then go in the DBFilesClient folder and select AreaTable.dbc and right click-extract, and place somewhere.

3) After that drag into DBCutil and convert it to a .csv, then open with CSVed(now I can use Screen Shots)

4) Click Open and select AreaTable.dbc.csv

5) Go to column 12 and it shows the area names

6) Double click, a popup appears, scroll down to (12) and edit the name, then apply changes

7) Drag to DBCutil and convert again

Open MWS, hit pack, new archive, then select your new DBC and at a dialog box type in: "DBFilesClient\AreaTable.dbc" and hit okay, then save and close

9) Name MPQ anything, place in data folder, use ME fix, start wow, have fun!

I have a question , correct me if I am wrong, but this only works for you and only you, not your server. Correct?

[merfed]

Correct, this is a client side modification only.
