Azeroth Core - Don't see data in table areatable_dbc

I wanted to change some stuff regarding zones in db, but see no data in tables. Is it possible that this is protected from viewing/editing? Or this data is just not used anymore by the core and I need to look somewhere else.

Table areatable_dbc

I'm new to this stuff so any advice will be helpful. Thank you

areatable_dbc

Solution

  • That table can be used to override data from the area.dbc file

    From this topic:

    Those tables must be there allowing people to create their set of data or just customize the dbc. The cases are essentially the following:

    • tables empty, DBC files installed (classic way)
    • tables with some custom data + DBC files installed (to easily customize DBC that are not needed to be installed in the client too)
    • no DBC files installed and personal data inside those tables (you're using azerothcore for your MMO project)

    There is a file attached to the release 3.0.0-dev containing the default data for the dbc tables if you need to customize them.

    Note: keep in mind that certain dbc changes require also client modification, there are very few dbc that are exempt by the client mod.
