[List] Unused DBC weapon Id's

[deep6ixed]

Hi Everybody, Since 3.3.0 came out, custom weapons dont work right anymore due to the client now pulling weapon type and subtype from the DBC files not from the server side database anymore.

I have parsed and extracted all the unused items in the DBC files that do not exist in a blizzlike database. I give you a text doc with 2400 weapons listed by type and subtype that can be used to make working custom weapons.

items.txt

If anyone needs it, i am working on parsing armor from the DBC files next

Nice, however you might want to set it into .txt format, because not everyone has Microsoft office installed and Microsoft Office 2010 reads this as a corrupt file.

okay updating first post

It would also be cool if this was at pastebin - Type, paste, share. , because I really do not wnat to download a file just to open it up in notepad.

done, added to paste bin, first post updated... again lol...

Thanks, it would be great if you could add more description or even a few SS's of them ingame, because we've no idea what they look like.

they are not display id's (i know on paste bin they say that, i was real tired and wasnt thinking straight.)

They are entry id's. I you make a custom weapon and use on of the id's on the list, the wow client will be able to correctly id the weapon and allow class skills to work with that weapon

take a custom dagger and try to use a rogue's backstab ability, you get a "this is not a melee weapon" displayed on the screen and the ability wont function.

but looking thru the list entry 1313 is a dagger and isnt used by any real item, but it does exist in the client side DBC files for the game will understand that it is a dagger and allow backstab to work.

you set your own display id when you make the weapon

if this worked , Il rep ur ass off

i know they work, as long as they are used correctly.

TIPS:

1.) use the lower entry numbers first, im not sure if my DB i compared them too is perfectly up to date.

2.) make sure the item entry you use actually matches the weapon type you are making. IE if you are making a dagger, use an entry that is a dagger type weapon then choose a dagger id such as 1313.

3.) these arent display id's, they are the item id's IE the item number.

I found the idea of using existing weapon id's and wondered if there were unused ids in the DBC that blizz decided not to use. turns out there are a crap ton.

thanks gastric, you wouldn't believe how many people has told me to piss off, that this was a waste of time and no one needed it.

Ive been scanning other DBC's to see what i can find so far and i know that there are a few unused gems floating around in there.

http://www.sourcepeek.com is perfect for poking through files to see what is in there
