DBC edit help

[jacob4313]

well like the title says i need some help editing dbc files. i downloaded dbceditor and it opens up dbc files and lets me see there values and what not. now what im so confused about is i opened areatrigger.dbc and come to find just a gang of numbers with no real representation of what they are other then i could see in the 3rd row what looked like there map id's. I have no idea what to edit and what not to touch becuase there just is a lack of information telling you what exists in the file. if anyone could tell me the general over view of how dbcs are layed out i think that would help

last but not least, are area triggers stored server side? like for instance you edit an area trigger that ports you to wailing cavers to port you to say SM. you use model edit fix and make a new patch or somthing, will this work or will the game still not function becuase there stored server side?

ty in advance
