Can't open WDB files? #77

Open WainPetopia opened 6 years ago

WainPetopia commented 6 years ago

Is WDBX Editor still supposed to be able to open WDB files? I have tried to open creaturecache.wdb from my WoW client and it only gives three options for the definitions file: one from WotLK, one from Cata and one from MoP. They all give the same error: ERROR creaturecache.wdb : Unable to read beyond the end of the stream.

Thanks :)

Supposed to? - Yes. Does it still? - No idea. From what I remember the format hasn't changed but the structures will certainly have - plus I've never maintained these.

Historically the formats have always matched the SMSG_QUERY packets (e.g. Creature for 7.3.5) and I doubt that this has changed so it might be worth looking at Trinity's responses. I'd imagine they are different in BfA to Legion as well but it's worth a go.

FYI I'm currently having a breather from WoW at the moment but I'll have a proper look at this when I get back to it.

Thanks for your reply, and possible leads. I'll take a look and see if I can work out what's changed.
