[Trinity] Adding Custom Titles

A simple DBC edit that allows the user to add custom titles to their game.

---

Heyo!

First and foremost, you must have at the very least, a repack that requires you to get your own .dbc files. I use my own compiled servers, so I'm unsure if repacks extract .dbc's or not.

Anywho, let's officially begin!

 

Tools Needed:

     MyDBCEditor

     Ladrik's MPQ Editor

 

Step One:

This is the easy part, open your .dbc folder and locate a file called CharTitles.dbc. Do yourself a favor and copy this .dbc and place it somewhere just in case you mess up and have to try again. Or if you want to simply "back up" and restart from scratch. I usually place mine on my Desktop.

 

Step Two:

This may get complicated! I'm kidding, this is an easy tutorial that doesn't require much though.

You're going take the CharTitles.dbc and drag it onto your MyDBCEditor.exe. When you've done that, it should look like this:

 

Step Three:

We're doing good so far! But here's the fun part! You'll see under ID 177 is the Wrathful Gladiator title, right? Right. Right click that, go to the option that says "copy line to..." and type in 178. This should make a copy of the Wrathful Gladiator title. Cool, right? Well, we need to change a couple of things here...

1st - Change Wrathful Gladiator %s to whatever title you want.

2nd - %s stands for "string" or in this case, a character's name. So "Wrathful Gladiator %s" would be "Wrathful Gladiator Valtorei". Put the %s wherever you need it to be.

3rd - Change the title in both locations, leave everything else alone.

4th - At the end of the line in column 37, there should be a number "142". For each title you add, increase this by one. In this case, you should make it number 143.

5th - Save it and close it!

 

Step Four:

Good job! Patch up the .dbc file, make sure it's placed in you data folder, clear your cache, and restart your server! (Make sure the updated .dbc is also in your dbc folder!)
