Custom items patch not working

Okay guys so I decided to make a custom item today,

I inserted the item to the database and used this to get the row
SELECT entry, class, subclass, soundoverridesubclass, quality, displayid, flags, flagsextra FROM item_template WHERE entry = 99999

the item came up, I couldnt copy it into csv format and paste it into CSVed so I just manually entered the data as it was only 9 columns.
I used Ladik's MPQ Editor to make the custom patch. I did everything right but i'm getting the error

Code: 
Failed to read file (listfile).

Debug Details:

[2] err=0 text=SFileReadFile - (listfile) - Data\patch-5.mpq
[1] err=0 text=LoadSectorTable failed
[0] err=0 text=LoadSectorTable failed
Storm Error Msg:The system cannot find the file specified.


Any idea what is going wrong?

You didn't do everything right, else it wouldn't error. Manually entered the data? Did you use Taliis DBC Editor or any kind of DBC Editor? How did you go about making the patch? Seems as if you incorrectly made the MPQ file.

Here's how I do it:

File -> New MPQ Archive

Make sure you include '.MPQ' at the end of your file name:

Next

Create an empty MPQ archive

Next

Size of hash table (LEAVE DEFAULT 0x1000)

Next

Create MPQ archive with format version 2.0

Next

Finish


DBC files go in the folder called DBFilesClient. Hopefully this will solve your issue. IF not, it could be a DBC reading issue or something related to the DBC file you added.

Ahhh figured out my issue. I added the item.dbc to the Patch.mpq and not the DBFilesClient folder. It is working now though. Thanks guys.

http://gyazo.com/b583082c38aa7bf6783153daaee4caef added the item.dbc and this came up. I just clicked ok

put patch into wow/data and item.dbc into the dbc folder. Anything i did wrong? I also followed the steps you stated tommy. Still same issue
Click to expand...

For the rules window not to show up, just uncheck the bottom checkmark. Anyway, I don't see anything wrong. Perhaps it is the DBC file?

Do this for me:

1. Make a folder called patch-9.MPQ (same name like you have now)
2. Put the DBFilesClient in your patch-9.MPQ folder. Make sure Item.dbc is in DBFilesClient.
3. Place in your Data/ folder
4. Start WoW up and see if it works

Example of what I'm talking about:

You don't need an MPQ patch, if you didn't know that (curiosity of Anthonys-Toolbox). It is almost recommended to create an MPQ patch and put your contents in there, but you don't have to. Anyway, this will tell us if it is your DBC file or not.



Glad you figured it out. :p
