I cant find any DbFilesClient in the wow folder as you wrote down.
i am playing wow Eu, so the maps called EnGB.
so what am i doing wrong :P? | In your World of Warcraft\Data folder open the enGB folder. You need to open the file locale-enGB.MPQ. Once inside, on the left hand side there are folders. Select the DBFilesClient.  |

I didn't quite get it to work though, will try again in a bit. Got a small question though. I'm trying to get HuF -> ScM to work. Now I checked model viewer and checked both my HuF's and ScM's settings. If I'd want a certain HuF skin / hairstyle to look like a certain ScM skin / hairstyle, I have to edit this in the CharacterFacialHairStyles.dbc and Charhairgeosets.dbc right? Or do the skins you copied in the CharSections.dbc also play a role in that?
Also, ScM doesn't really have any special DK skins like HuF does. (HuF has for example a couple of 0x11 files, and then about 3 0x5 files, while ScM only has 0x11 files). Should I replace those HuF's 0x5 files with ScM 0x11 files or should I just leave them?
I've never really done it all this way but I'd really want my HuF -> ScM to look better so I'll keep trying anyway. Thanks for the great guide!

Scourge don't have those DK files so when copying them its less to worry about. You still need to copy them into the HuF though. No where in your Human Female section on the CharSections.dbc should it say Human\Female anywhere. It should be filled with Scourge. |

Reputation: 8 Level up: 84%, 80 Points needed | | | | hey uber i was wondering if you could help me out really quick. i was trying to do BeM -> HuF Now the first time i did it, it was perfect except for the fact i replaced the BloodElf Facial Features with Humans and turns out my model was perfect except for the fact that she had a beard. well obviously it was because i changed the bloodelf facial features into human but HuF dont have that obviously and so i tried just deleting the rows for BloodElf Facial Features for males but my wow automatically shuts off when i launch the MEF. Usually this happens when uve made an error in an edit somewhere but I know its because of the CharSections.dbc My problem is im trying to figure a way to get a male to a female like that without like a beard or such. Any help would be appreciated. |

Reputation: 1 Level up: 50%, 202 Points needed | | | Hello ! Thanks for the work you've done ubermonkey !
I was lookin at your race -> race thread on the SimpleEdit section, and I tried your TaF -> NeM. I'm still using it and it is perfect, but I was basicaly looking for a TaF -> Hu(M/F) swap.
Then I'm trying to make it myself, and I've a question 
When you extract files at the begining, for "local-enUS", "patch-en-US" and patch-en-US-2" all those folders have like name DBFilesClient and at least I've only 1 folder of this name in "Original files".
Is that wrong or should I put them in different folders ?

So the game looks at the patch files first because they are updated most recently then if the file isn't in the patch folders it finds it in the local folder. So when we are extracting we extract the local first, then the patch folder so if there is a newer file it will overwrite the local folder. Then the patch-2 folder because its newer than the patch folder. |

Then I tried to convert it back to .dbc but the .dbc file was only 1KB. (the same thing happens when I just open it in excel, save it and drag it to DBCUtil.exe but it doesn't happen if I just change it back and forth).
Got Excel to work as well now (Data>Text to columns/comma) but still doesn't work to change it back to .dbc  |
