Thread: Custom Weapons Bug

I've have been searching on the web and a ton of people who have been recently compiling there own Private Servers (including my friend and I) are having a hard time being able to use their Custom Weapons because the latest patch (we think) 3.2.2. Apparently Blizz made it to were if the weapons are not in there list they dont exist. For example, Sinister Striker requires a melee weapon, and Ambush which requires a dagger can not be used with a custom weapon created by Wow-v.com. They can be used by other WoW weapons but not Custom Ones. We have tried to make a custom MPQ file with the whole item dbc and add our dagger that we created but it still did not work. What is the solution for this? Can we make our own custom database? If we do can we by pass this problem? How can we make our own custom DBC? Please help.

yes but that is a not the best solution. If we did that what if a new player or lower level got a hold of like a legendary dagger? and wasn't supposed to? My friend and I are contemplating whether or not we should wipe the all the weapons we dont need and keep the ones we do thus having our own custom Database. Also last night we took the items dbc and we put it into a .mpq file and added this dagger we made. Then we saved it and put it in with the other .mpq files and it worked. It registered as a legit weapon. Now we could make a whole list of weapons and put it in a mpq file and give it to users but if theres is a easyer way then id love to hear : )

Yeah I looked at one of the other server's patches (MPQ file) and was wondering what you would you use in the MPQ file like do you have any kind of template of what exact stats you have to put into the file? That would help a lot of people so if you can let us in on it please do lol.

You could always make a custom patch.

That's the best solution in my opinion.

well thats what i think were gona do but everytime we go to make new weapons everyones gona have to download a new patch so

If u find an easy way to fix this problem W/o removing one of blizzards items please make a turtorial or something how to do it. would be really great

well the easyist way is to make a MPQ file so but even still like if u had 60 custom items then thats a huge mpq file
