[Question] About Taliis

[Zaphry]

Well after getting my thread deleted without warning rather than asking what specific thing i had trouble with. (I like you mods....... NOT)

Well now back to the topic.

I have trouble with swapping models (Meaning character to creature with DBC editing)
I have tried reading the guides for it, but there aren't any specific guides for Taliis Dbc editor. (I tried it and I came up with error... was something about too many lines or so. )

Also I tried character->creature with normal MyWarcraftStudio, but the models always came up with no textures. (everything else worked fine tho)

So just once more... I need someone to give me hint how to use the Taliis dbc editor.

If you need pictures of errors, or anything just ask and I will try to re-create the file and get those errors :#

Taliis DBC-Editor:
Taliis has the best public DBC editor. He's got a automatic detection for the data types but the whole might of the editor appears once one takes a look on the config files.

Several DBCs are linked with others internally. To show such references, Taliis uses a "MixEditor" showing data of both DBCs.

The different data types are represented in different colors:

* integers are shown in white.
* floats in green.
* strings of text in blue.
* integer references in red.
* masked references are yellow.

Configuration files for the DBC editor

The config files are named after the DBC file resulting in DBC filename.DBC.conf.

Comments are introduced by a '#'. The header tells you, where the information are retrieved from, when they were updated the last time and - which is important - how many columns there are inside this DBC as this differs between versions.

You can add an entry in the following style for every column - where x represents the column number:

* dbc_entry_1_field_x_label = A name for the column.
* dbc_entry_1_field_x_desc = A short description seen on mouse over.
* dbc_entry_1_field_x_datatype = A data type like listed below.
* dbc_entry_1_field_x_cross_file = A DBC file being referenced.
* dbc_entry_1_field_x_cross_val_field = The column containing the index (primary key) in the referenced file.
* dbc_entry_1_field_x_cross_displ_field = A column in the referenced file containing a string for identification - if present.

You can choose between the following types:

* num being an integer
* bool being a checkbox representing true or false
* float for an floating point number
* string for text
* mask for bitmasks
* flags - making the field not editable as its not yet implemented
