Hi folks,

I put some love into server-data gathering (again) and I thought why not publish the results to you guys.
The cache-files are actually a lot like the WDB files stored in your WoW-Cache directory (they contain almost the same structure), except the fact that my files probably contain WAAAYYYY more data

Basically you find every single item in the ItemCache.cache file (23k+ records), every Quest in the QuestCache.cache file and so on. I’ll try to update the files on a regular basis. Most of the data is brandnew directly from the 8089 client, just gathered with my little WDBGatherer addon today. So if the “LastValidVersion” column tells you it’s a 8089 record, it’s newly updated with the latest live-data.

The GameObjectCache file is old and quite useless at the moment. But because it’s doesn’t contain “important” information I’ll let it as it is.
Please always keep in mind that all the data/records are gathered from different providers (WDB Files, Allakhazam, WoWDB etc.), so there is always the possibility that some data is missing or wrong.

What could you guys do with all this data? Well, you could build some pretty nice addons or websites or whatever with all the information. Look at it like a small version of WoWDB
I’ve build some pretty nice things myself with the data (WoWModelViewer-List, WDBGatherer Addon etc.) 

REQUEST:
I’m looking for a willing dude with a taiwanese, chinese, russian and/or korean WoW-client to fill in the missing localizations in the cache-files. Thanks in advance.

NOTE:
You probably have to uninstall your previous version of WoW Table Viewer via “start -> settings -> control panel -> software” due to changes in the deployment process.

Download latest version

Just a short info: 

I had to change some things in the deployment process. If you encounter problems starting an application (Invalid Manifest File), remove the application (start -> settings -> control panel -> software) and reinstall it from the download-page.

Hi, 

Well it seems that finally some people found this page.
The download-counter of my tools is constantly increasing. Although I haven’t got a lot of feedback yet, my tools seem to work… kind of :)

I’m trying to bug-fix and update as often as I can. So if you do have suggestions or found some ugly exceptions just inform me and I’ll fix it as soon as I can.

Here’s a screen from a new feature in the Table-Viewer (Batch Export):

PS: Just managed to import everything into MS-SQL 2005 with this.

BC

Morning, 

Just uploaded a new ADTLocations.zip that includes maps with ADT locations.

Enjoy

UPDATE:
Thanks for all the support/offers, I’ve found some webspace! 

 Houston, we have a problem!

It seems that my webspace provider is not as reliable as I thought (downloads are not really working at the moment) :(

So basically I’m looking for little webspace (about 100mb) where I can upload my tools/setups. So if you have some space left and a working FTP upload, please contact me (wowexplored@gmail.com) and help a poor little developer to publish his tools to the community. Otherwise there won’t be any updates soon…

ps: I was just about to release a new version of the WoW Model Exporter with some additions but now I’m stuck.

BC

Here’s my next release, the WoW Model Exporter.

You can export Models (.m2), World Models (.wmo) and World Maps (.adt) files to MS3D including texture generation and lots of other things.

An additional nice feature is to browse the items / npc’s / creatures by their names and find the matching model-file.

There is still a lot to do in the character-export section (automatic geoset-disabling, skin-browser etc.), but hey, it’s just my first release and you guys need some things to look forward to, right? So be patient for an update with improvements in the sections characterskin-design/tabard-design.

Feedback
If you find a bug please send me as mutch information as you can (modelfile which causes the bug, skin used, etc.)
Suggestion, Bug reports, Questions all goes to wowexplored@gmail.com

Have fun rendering WoW Models

So here we go… I’ve finally put something together for you guys out there.

My first two public releases are out.

You need:
- .NET Framework 2.0 or higher
- MS Windows (Mono etc. have problems with ClickOnce Applications from what I’ve heard)
- WoW PTR Client 0.4.0.8031

Texture Converter
Nothing special, just a little tool I wrote a couple of months ago to convert BLP<->AnyImageFormat. I guess it’s quite useful for machinima artists or model designers/editors. There is also a simple Texture-Browser included… not as good as in WoWMS but maybe I’ll update this project if I get enough feedback

Table Viewer/Editor
It looks simple at first, but you can do pretty amazing stuff with this little baby. Browse all the ingame tables and save/export/edit them in many ways.

The applications are self-updating. So don’t be irritated if your firewall’s popping up by the time you start the exe.
You can block the applications if you want, it will work but you just have to check manually if there is an update available (and probably there gona be quite a lot the next few days and as long as the PTR is up).

!! What I need from you guys !!
As you have some of my tools now, I need something from you as well… and that’s feedback, bug reports, feature wishes etc. Feel free to contact me at wowexplored@gmail.com. And please always be aware that the applications are in “Beta” status right now.

NOTE: I had no chance to test the applications with an english WoW-Client. So there might be some issues regarding to german texts showing up instead of the english ones.

Btw: Some other tools (ModelExporter, GameFile Browser etc.) are in the making and will be released soon.

Dear diary, 

I was playing around with the new items on the PTR (ItemInfo Addon) but after a couple of minutes I got sick of disconnects caused by invalid item-id’s. And so I came up with an idea to extend AtlasLoot with some additional pages with the PTR items.

And here’s the result.

The addon-extension files are automatically generated like the WoWMV export files. So there’s no real limit what to export(It’s actually possbile to generate a file that includes every single item, but I was just interessted in the PTR files).

Now it’s fun playing around on the PTR and discover new items
There are lots of items that haven’t even gathered by WoWDB like the Tabard shown on the screen.
