Some NPCs report "Missing Text" when speaking to them
Closed this issue · 2 comments
- There are many entries in the npc_text table that have the value
text0_0='MISSING TEXT'.
There's a few differences between TC and AC databases. Here's a quick query result. Some of the entries are more lore oriented, and I think those are the correct values.
**There are a few values that are different from the StygianCore database shown here, such as 7336 which I've fixed in my core, so they are still bugged on AzerothCore.
Looking deeper into the differences, there are some entries like 5935 which is the creature Ironeye the Invincible that have a text option, but they don't actually speak or have a way that I can see to speak unless via SAI or core script. Killing this NPC on both cores did not emote any text.
Out of this list, for entries that are for 335a, there are a handful of NPCs with texts without gossip, and the rest of the IDs do not resolve to NPCs at all. My theory is these were placeholders or remnants of another version of the core. I'm updating the entries in the database to reflect my findings and moving on.
These entries were compared to the latest TrinityCore as of 2019-02-10. Most of them seem to reference holidays, where the sniffing of Blizzard server data would need to have been during these specific holiday dates to yield correct data. To compound the issue, it takes more work to properly test holiday events. Both of these combined are why all cores (Trinity, AzerothCore, and MangOS) are littered with problems related to holiday events.
