2.4.3 spells on TrinityCore 3.3.5a?

[n4ru]

Would like the 2.4.3 spells on a 3.3.5a server. Is this as simple as DBC swapping? Is there a big change in the structure? Are there significant differences in the server side programming of the spells that might make this unfeasible?

Actually moving the spells over is very easy. You could use my spell editor to import the 3.3.5 and 2.4.3 DBCs to different SQL databases, then use a query to copy over the data filling the different structure.

The issue is that I doubt it's going to work well in game. A lot of spells have hardcoded references in the emulator and client for doing different things. For example, opening a chest object uses a spell. Not to mention tons of spells have server side data or scripts outside the DBC that would need to be ported over.

It would be a massive amount of effort.

The better question is, why do you want to do this? There might be a better way to go about getting the end result you want.

I'm attempting to create a PvP Battleground server with the QoL of Wrath but the balance of end of TBC.

Probably what you want to do is rework individual class spells and talents based off the old 2.4.3 values rather than doing any sort of bulk copy + paste of spells. It's still a ton of work.
