After a lot of long nights (and probably way too many energy drinks), I’m wanted to share the first compiled version of a project I’ve been working on: an Item Creation Tool for World of Warcraft!
The program is fully GUI based and designed to make creating SQL entries for items way faster, easier, and more reliable — especially on cores like CMaNGOS, Trinity, exc.
Here’s what it can do right now:
[*]
- Generate full SQL INSERT strings for item_template with just a few clicks.
Fill in key fields like entry ID, item class, subclass, name, display ID, quality, vendor prices, stats, spells, requirements, and loot settings.
Dropdowns and smart selectors for inventory types, spell triggers, and other option-heavy fields
Possible to randomize vendor pricing.
Handle optional fields like required skills, limited bag slots, and more.
I wanted to make is as simple as possible, so all dropdowns and selections are readable, understandable text so you no longer have to look up anything manually or remember values.
Export your SQL directly to a file, or copy it to clipboard.
If your server’s database expects displayID instead of display_id, or iTeMlEvEl instead of itemlevel, you can easily adjust the field names in the config file. No code editing necessary.
This is just version one, but the goal is to keep building on it: more complex item creation (random properties, better displayID selection, Better UI/UX etc.) is already on the roadmap. I'd also like to expand into a suite of these types of tools in the future; NPC creator, Spell creator. Maybe more?
Race/Class bitmask are calculated automatically
Finally, just a small hint for those who like secrets:
Let me know about any bugs or things to add!
Hope it helps with your projects — and if you'd like to support continued development (or say thanks for saving you some SQL headaches), you can do so here:
