[Questions] Adding new content to a private wow server.

[Naomi Wiflath]

The following was suppost to be a PM to a member that indicated taht they could help with such questions; but aparently I cant do that. What A shame.


I am currently working on getting ReaperMangos s5472 up and running; now that I know how to let my friends connect to my machine.

Reaper's Mangos s5472 runs World of Warcraft 2.3.3

But I dont plan on leaving it alone, not at all. I plan on making half of the maps completely custom and unreconizeable [har har har]. Of course, this would probrably require my friends to download a special wow copy, I'm assuming? When creating and adding items- Is there an easy way to add completely new models? Or in a script, does it tell the game what skin to map onto the model? Is there an easy way to learn the new item scripts? Do you think Mangos will still be able to be compatable with such changes? Is there a way to extract models from 2.4.2 and insert them into the 2.3.3 Data files?

Pardon if these are common questions- but i've been poking around the forum alot today and havent found anything that answers my questions directly. Thanks for your time.

You can't edit or create maps.

To answer all of your questions, no. You can't do any of them without intense DBC knowledge.
DBC ruins private servers.

DBC files / Lua i think

Lua will get you nowhere in this, you should visit the Model Editing section for details on how to do those things. An Emu should stay compatible with it as you aren't changing anything the server depends on..
