[Question] Can you make your own achivs?

[ilikepiehehe]

Hey Ownedcore!

I want to make a custom achiv for my server is this possible if so how? Thanks!

[stoneharry]

Yes. Quite easy. DBC editor + editing client DBC folders. See:

CategoryBC - WoWDev
Achievement Category.dbc - WoWDev
Achievement Criteria.dbc - WoWDev
Achievement.dbc - WoWDev

Will need to update server side as well.

You extract the DBC's from your WoW client.

You modify them using a DBC editor - add new rows for each achievement.

You add the modified DBC's to your client as a new patch (e.g: patch-Z.mpq inside your Data folder) and you add them to the servers DBC folder too.

Then you should see your custom achievements.

DBC's in the client are:

DBFilesClient\*.dbc

The server is usually:

DBC\*.dbc

I tried doing this a while ago, but I couldn't get the achievement to complete...
Haven't added the achievement to the player through lua tho, maybe I should try that...

On Topic:
If you can't follow StoneHarry's guide, then you shouldn't be editing the dbc's at all...

As for the mpq being added as txt problem:

You need to create a new mpq patch(could be done in almost any MPQ editor), then add it to the folder - not export from the dbc editor.

Regards, Minupi.

Ps. What DBC editor are you using and which program are you using to create the MPQ Patches?

Upload your MPQ (upload as an attachment or upload to a file hosting website) to a post here and I'll look at it.

Alright so here is my patch patch-A.MPQ download - 2shared

I have Placed it in WoW>Data folder (client)
I have also placed it in Server3.3.5>Arcemu>DBC

Just a note this is the first time i have ever done this before DBC editing and making a patch so i could have easily made a stupid mistake.

I look forward to responses :P

[stoneharry]

You have constructed your client side patch wrong.

At the moment you have:

patch-A.MPQ\Achievement.dbc
patch-A.MPQ\Achievement_Category.dbc
...

When it should be:

patch-A.MPQ\DBFilesClient\Achievement.dbc
patch-A.MPQ\DBFilesClient\Achievement_Category.dbc
...

See attached.

Amazing it worked!
