[Question] Changing tons of DBC fields at the same time?

[Zantas]

I want to change all orc models in game to a certain model.

However there's like 1000 different orc models in CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc
due to them having different gear.


Is there a quick way to change them all or do i have to do it all manually?

if you are using DBC Editor than.... O_O *shoots self* prob not, unless you can find another or make another program. better start now. :P

If you want to change all Orcs, just replace the modelfile(eg swap Character/Orc/Male/OrcMale.m2 and correspending *.blp, *.anim and *.skin files with Character/Human/Male/HumanMale.m2 {renaming and such things, like race swapping was done earlier})

[Zantas]

so I can't do it quick with all in DBC files instead?

If you know Java, you can write a plugin for Taliis, which allows you to edit many rows in the DBC fast.

that's great cause I'm working with java now anyway ^^

The source of Taliis and it's plugins is included here, so you can see how to access the core.
