World of Warcraft Darkmod

**FoxtropQ** · 08-10-2011

Hello, for the begining of my post I must apologize for any mistakes I ll make in this post. So sorry for that if someone wants to correct it I ll be pleasured.
So a week ago I find Request to make Wow Darkmod so I made some research and there is a solution for any RP servers or every server which wants it.

You will need these skills to use my Guide :
Making your own patch. (find it or use Google)
Pen and paper work. (self explanatory)
Light mapper. (just for check)
Dbc editing. (I prefer Taliis)

So what is it all about ... It is about making Darkness in WoW. So the first thing which I must explain is this is not complete Guide and it will be sometimes refilled with new facts.
So there is 5 DBC files which are related to that subject. Light.dbc, LightFloatBand.dbc, LightIntBand.dbc, LightParams.dbc and LightSkybox.dbc.

LightSkybox.dbc is list of all night skies in WoW .. dont edit this one.

Light.dbc is file which containes Light spots... for better explain use Light mapper and find proper thread here.

LightFloatBand.dbc containes light intenses according to time for collums, see link
But there are some missing things. For example I want to change params for light type 12 (normal light in azeroth)
first multiply 12 by 6 that means 72. That means I will work with rows 67-72. The first row (67) is ambient/sollar intense, the scale is weird just try set it 22:00 - 4:00 (10 pm to 4am) on zero intense. That means for this time there will be no ambient/sollar lightning (absolute dark) You need to know that, if light is 20:00 (8pm) on 10000 it will be decreased lineary to 0 over 2 hours (that means in 21:00 (9pm) it will be 5000 etc. The second row (6

is around character light in relative (0-1) and time. That means if you dont set on 0 in night time there will be light around character and will illuminate everything near.

... today I ll complete some more stuff, but I need more research.
