How do you determine if a node is an herb or mine?

[Tanaris4]

Both are of object type container. I've been using an XML file to basically compare the name but i'd like to stop doing this (mainly so it doesn't matter what localization client you are using of wow).

Is there a flag/offset off the game object or the cache that indicates this?

Once I have this, I'll post how to determine if you're skill is high enough to mine/herb without needing an XML file (uses TOM_RUS' method with Lock.dbc)

Thanks!!

I found the post on using the model, is this the only method?

Edit 2: Do you assume that mining nodes have "mining" in them and herbalism nodes have "bush" in them? Here are 2 examples below:

// world\skillactivated\tradeskillnodes\elementium_miningnode_normal.mdx
// world\skillactivated\tradeskillnodes\bush_cinderbloom.mdx

Edit3: Looks like the model method shouldn't be used unfortunately (unless there is a model elsewhere I'm missing), example of an herb that isn't "herbable":
World\SkillActivated\TradeskillNodes\Bush_Snakeroot.mdx

Maybe reverse CGObject__CanTrack? Just an idea. Not sure if that offset is posted, though.

Lock.dbc should have all info you need.

1 question - how do you know which index to check? Do I loop through all?

I need to remember to look at mangos more, I immediately turn to IDA too soon sometimes

Appreciate it!

Use displayID, they are the same for all localization.

Then I still need an XML file... I don't want that - right?

You can compile a list of all herbs in the game and all nodes, there are only like 60 of each anyway, and use a bool value to create a whitelist as it were to determine whether a gameobject is a herb node or a vein, or neither.

[Nesox]

You can check the model name too if it's a BUSH or MINERAL IIRC.
Or you could check the lock type, once you have the lock id.
