DB/CharBaseInfo

Defines availability of classes for the different races. This particular DBC is byte-packed.

Structure

Column	Field	Type	Notes
1	Race	iRefID	For this race,
2	Class	iRefID	these classes are allowed.

struct CharBaseInfoRec {
  uint8_t padding_0[4];
  uint8_t m_raceID;
  uint8_t m_classID;
  uint8_t padding_1[2];
};

Editing CharBaseInfo.dbc

The easiest way is to open it in a hex editor. No DBC-Editor beside Tallis supports this type of file.

The structure is particulary easy. The first 4 Bytes contain the Magic value (57 44 42 43), followed by the Field count (set the count of 000xbyte[4] as Signed Byte). Next 3 bytes are empty. 000xByte[8], 000xByte[C] and 001xByte[0] are 01 each, the bytes inbetween are 00. Effectively, the actual pairs start with 001xByte[4] and 001xByte[5], containing the first pair. Afterwards, it goes on and on.

 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  A  B  C  D  E  F
57 44 42 43 06 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 02 00 00 00
01 00 00 00 01 01 01 02 01 03 02 01 02 03 04 06
00

The italic text stays the same. Note that 000xByte[4] would be the count of pairs, each combination line of Race and Class raise the counter by 1. 001xByte[5] begins the first pairing. This file would contain:

Race Class
01   01
01   02
01   03
02   01
02   03
04   06

A last 0-Byte at the end marks the end of the file. And that's about it. --Ascathos (talk) 09:38, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
