[Dev] StyxWoW.Db Question

[Smarter]

I am curious if it is possible to use the database abilities of Honorbuddy without putting it in a plugin, I keep getting object null issue ... is there a way to Initilize StyxWoW.Db without running HB?

Yes, learn to read the dbc files from the mpq files.

Defeats the purpose of using StyxWoW.Db..

In case you didn't know StyxWoW.Db wraps the dbc files

CategoryBC - WoW.Dev Wiki

Yeah, but HB has some functionality that handles the reading and parsing of DBC's .... I just need it to grab highestZ/Z without the Bot running.

 

[exemplar]

You lost me, are you talking about the z coordinate held in the navmesh or something else ?

 

[Smarter]

I use the DBC functionality in an app I made, that will grab the locations of mobs off of WoWhead, then convert them to bot coords and output a profile.

Then all you need is WorldMapArea.dbc and the like.

You're smarter than that... Smarter... stop being lazy.

Also; you won't get any Z's from a 2D set of DBC files that just 'maps' the minimap/map to the terrain. You'll need to use the Navigator.FindHeight stuff, and be on the correct continent for it to even return anything useful.

Yep, I need that too. I use the DBC's to get the size of each map, to do the conversion of WoW Coords to World Coords, then I use .FindHighestZ, to get the Z correctly .... But, can't do it unless I throw it in a Plugin ... very annoying Lol.
