Is It Possible To Change....

[Herzeleid]

-Race Names? Like change it from a '43 Orc Hunter' to a '43 Rock Hunter' ( poor example I know, I'm not creative and didn't want to give away my plans )

Class Names? Like changing the above example to '43 Orc Tracker' or something more creative...

Names of Locations? I know this has been asked before ( By me actually ) but is it still impossible to change location names? Like from 'Stormwind City, Alliance territory' to 'Neinteen City, Land of Neinteen' or something?

Spell names? can you change such spells like 'Holy Nova' to 'Light Explosion' or something? Or is that impossible too?

Object Names? That is possible right? I'm pretty sure you can...?

Thanks to help with any. Please quote the one you respond to so it's not a random compilation of 'I think so's and 'No's.

Gastric's the King for those

Anyway from what I'm aware of, you can change land names with model-editing, perhaps you can release a patch in your server giving the model-edit to everyone there

Hope I've helped.

Extremely limited reply that didn't help because I don't want everyone downloading a patch, but for just trying to help. +3rep.

So much as posting in this thread is Plaudable.

Help please.

This is not possible without something client side.
When you enter a zone the only thing the server knows is the zoneID of the zone you entered, the server does not know what the name of the zone is it only cares for the zoneID. Your client knows what zoneID goes with each zone name. That is the only place where the actual names are stored.

This also goes for the race and classes the server knows them by IDs.

Spells and objects are different.
You can create new spells, objects and NPCs inside the database.
For spells im not sure if you can change the names of the original spells, but i think you can create new spells that have the same effect of the original spells but just have a new name.

TLDR - Things you can change without patching the client.
Race name - no
Class Name - no
Location name - no
Spell name - maybe
Object name - yes

Thanks for your help. +rep as well.

I thought area names were client, but are races and class names too?

I remember reading something way back before the emu section wipe that had something with someone changing hunters to something else. something lol!

Objects should be fun to change, and maybe spells to, that might work out nicely.

Thanks for your help.
