Hello WB,

Can you say me how do you got the dates over the wdb files?

can you send me a fully source-code from your program?

how long do you need until you’ve finished the itemminer?

can you upload a preversion?
and the source code?

I can programming in C++
but i don´t know how i got the dates from WDB-Files can you help?

.wdb also stands for world of warcraft database file.

This program has nothing to do with Works DB.

Hey guys- I’m confused.
A *.WDB file is a MS Works Database file.

I keep hearing you mention WoW.

Are you doing a different kind of conversion than a WDB (Works DB) to CSV?

nice to see that u want return back to development,
It’s really needed, coz there is no any wdb converter, and it’s borrows too much time to take info from sites

Well it works, it just needs the definitions updated. Updating the program every patch gets ridiculous (you can’t simply read the header and guess fields like dbc files), so an updating xml file would be ideal.

Doh! No longer works? Bummer. I REALLY need a library to parse the itemcache.wdb. Guess I’ll keep looking.

Yeah the program hasn’t worked in awhile. I haven’t seen any other programs pop up to replace it yet either… Well since auto-detection of field changes is pretty much impossible at this point I was thinking about rewriting the whole thing to allow the definitions to be modified from an xml file, but due to school I haven’t really gotten around to it.

Check back everynow and then or subscribe to the rss to see my status on the project, I’ll try to make a post to update my progress when I get around to it.
