[Question] about 0 MmidIndex for Doodad Definition #90

Closed Rokeo closed 5 years ago

Rokeo commented 5 years ago

Not really an issue for project, but question. Do you know why Doodad Definition can have 0 value for MmidIndex? I encountered this few times for Zandalar map. Those ones have however UniqueID, position and rotation. image

So, i wonder, if there something need to be considered, i.e. how to add such to map if we do not know MmidIndex, i.e. do not know which model file is it.

I'll have to check when I'm home, but I think that these are only referenced by FileDataIDs, not filenames.

Rokeo commented 5 years ago

You mean, that such do not used in maps and we can pretty much ignore those?

Marlamin commented 5 years ago

Stuff is referenced to via filedataids from MODF/MDDF these days, no filename anymore. But looking closer at what you sent you seem to be reading one of those chunks.

Which file is this/which patch?

Marlamin commented 5 years ago

Got it, zandalar_24_16. Checking what's up now.

Marlamin commented 5 years ago

Right, this is a file still in the old layout. You need to parse the MMDX chunk and look at what filename is at index 0.

See MMDX at offset 0 inside it
