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.

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.

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.
