Hello everyone,

im pretty new to reptro-porting and currently im trying to import the Legion Artifact Weapons to WOTLK.

I managed to convert a Legion Creature to Wotlk, but im apparently to stupid to convert the Legion Items to WOTLK.

After like 30 Mins of google all i could find was some tutorials, how to convert creatures and mounts, but no real tutorial how to convert items ( + DBC Editing )

Could anyone help me with a real DBC Editing Tutorial? So i can use the Legion Weapons in WOTLK?

I think the best way to start is to copy some existing models info. Take a weapon from the same type in the DB, look at the modelid, search the corresponding row in ItemDisplayInfo.dbc, copy it to a new row (the id of the row is the modelid) and change the texture/model/icon to match with your new model.

Do the same in the DB, replace the modelid with your new model id and you should be good.

 

The model name must end with .mdx in the dbc and you must remove the ".blp" for textures too.

Weapons should have 1 skin texture but sometimes they don't have one I'm not sure what to do in that case, try leaving the field blank and see if the model is displayed properly.

The name of the skin textures are usually the same as the model name with possibly a color or base after it and they are/need to be in the same folder as the model.

Doc on ItemDisplayInfo.dbc :

Item.dbc (required for weapons or else the game won't recognise the type of the weapon, and it allows you to equip items with right click)

Tested it with a 2 Hand Weapon, works perfectly, thanks!
