Open are azerothcore dbc's updateable? And how to please?

[griptor]

So i have made a whole bunch of heirlooms and they can be added with sqls and they work fine and all.

But that was just using existing code that was already in the dbcs. Is there a guide for updating the dbc's? I need to add some extra columns. Do I convert to a sql or something or will I have to make a module?

I want to add armor progression for shields in the ScalingStatValues.dbc. I worked out how to but when I drop the new dbc in it breaks and wont load up haha

I worked out how to update the ScalingStatDistribution.dbc to add block value to the shields. There were a few unused rows so that part was easy. I also put it into a patch-4.mpq and updated the server dbc and worked really well.

I am stuck on the ScalingStatValues.dbc I would like to add an extra column for shield armor progression and I have already worked out the math any help would be appreciated

I added an updated dbc to the acore server dbc and it crashes the server

-update- 15/12/23

After looking through the scource code and searching for scalingstatvalues there are a few results.

Now it expects a dbc with only 24 column and will spit an error unless I make a change.

at the DBCfmt.h line 98 char constexpr ScalingStatValuesfmt[] = "iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"; this needs an extra i as it changes the expected scalingstatvalues.dbc to include an extra column.

Now it expects 25 columns. char constexpr ScalingStatValuesfmt[] = "iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii";

DBCStructure.h line 1490 armormod2[5] I updated the array to [6]. line 1490 uint32 armorMod2[6]; // 19-24 Armor for level

And at line 1520 I added the mask for the next array value as if (mask & 0x01000000) return armorMod2[5]; //shield int 16777216

Im hoping that if I set the shield on the item template the scaling stat value as 16777216 it will go to the next column in the scalingstatvalue.dbc which I have added in to the .dbc. However it does not

Although the code compiles it does not work as intended.

I feel like i am close but i dont quite know what i need to do next ... yet
