ArmageddonWDB

Proof of concept WDB Converter for legacy World of Warcraft (3.3.2). Compatible with ArcEmu.

Introduction

This project was built in 2010 and has not been maintained since. I am open-sourcing it in hope to help others learn.

This project was split into 2 pieces:

• The WDB Converter which reads the definitions.xml file and parses the .wdb files accordingly. A .sql file is generated for each .wdb file.
• A MySQL Comparer which reads the generated .sql files, and compares the found data with the data in the database. In turn, it generates "patch"/"diff" .sql files which can executed as an incremental update for the DB.

Features

• Data structure and options could be configured through definitions.xml.
• Choose what should be shown in the console as an output, by adding to the column in XML [output="true"].
• A logging system that logs everything that has been converted to log.txt based on what columns you chose as an output.
• Supports multiple .wdb files conversion. If you have multiple folders, each one has in it different wdb files, the converter will enter each folder and will convert them.

Additional Notes

• This project was built with .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows. It can be built with .NET Core. However, \r\n are used as separators and MySql.Data.dll is used for DB operations.
• For this project to be used, it would need to be converted to a new .NET Core solution and should use NuGet for the MySQL Connector package.
• I had used SVN for version control and pieces of the code take in considertion .svn directories for some reason, but they are not necessary and can be removed from code.
