| 01:19.06 | nimhfree | Hi. Does anyone here know the guts of the questcache.wdb format or someone I can contact about it? |
| 01:20.03 | Thunder_Child | Have you checked github? A lot of them have been extracted and added there. |

| 01:44.45 | Simca | as far as i know, the format hasn't been publically documented in several expansions |

| 01:46.54 | nebula | so https://wowdev.wiki/QuestCache.wdb is out of date, eh? |
| 01:47.33 | nimhfree | nebula: yes very much out of date |

| 01:48.55 | nimhfree | I am trying to get at the section at the end of each quest that has the three possible text fields. however, they are not separated from each other in any meaningful way (like a nul-terminated string), and I cannot figure out any entry that tells me where one starts or ends |
| 01:49.20 | Simca | i can't share the entire structure, but i can probably share that part |
| 01:49.25 | Simca | that part is a complete bitch to figure out |
| 01:49.53 | nimhfree | that would be cool |
| 01:54.58 | Simca | alright here's the last four fields of regular data + the bit-sized string sizes + quest objectives ministructs + text: https://paste2.org/jDzEI1jL |
| 01:55.26 | Simca | language is 010 editor template code, but you can probably translate it from that to whatever you want relatively easily |
| 01:57.18 | Simca | the bit reading part took me hours to get down right. i eventually busted out a napkin, wrote out the bits and the string sizes for some of the wordier quests and started marking off viable positions for the lengths to work |
| 01:58.56 | Simca | @nebula that page looks like the structure for Wrath of the Lich King, maybe. |
| 01:59.28 | Simca | blizzard adds new fields constantly. they added 2 new ones already just since 7.3.2 |
| 02:01.50 | nimhfree | so the LogTitleLength and the rest after that are all using the indicated number of bits? |
| 02:02.18 | Simca | yeah |
| 02:03.51 | Simca | that and knowing the location/structure of the questobjectives sub-struct should be enough to parse it. the rest of the fields are always the same size and length. |
| 02:04.31 | nimhfree | are your âuintâ that are not qualified really uint32? |
| 02:05.48 | Simca | yeah |
| 02:06.25 | Simca | in fact everything in each record besides that section i linked is int32/uint32/float. |
| 02:07.36 | Simca | (which is even weirder why they went for space-saving so hard on the string sizes just to save a couple bits when they are losing large numbers of bytes by using int32 when they only need int8) |

| 09:03.37 | nevcairiel | just be happy they dont do variable-length-coding for their numbers =p |
| 09:03.46 | nevcairiel | every record a different size! |
| 09:04.34 | nevcairiel | (also, most variable length coding algorithms are only really effective when the majority of numbers are really small, but there could still be few big ones) |

| 19:24.06 | zenzelezz | nevcairiel: that reminds me very much of implementing (partially) ENV-1545-1 |
| 19:24.54 | zenzelezz | 6 bits here, 23 bits there, BCD number over there... |
| 19:26.06 | nevcairiel | I work in multimedia, fixed size fields of random but counts and variable length coding are just day to day work |
| 19:26.22 | nevcairiel | s/but/bit/ |
| 19:26.41 | nevcairiel | Every bit needs saving |
| 19:28.13 | zenzelezz | same basic deal for what I did; since the NFC cards generally only have 4-8 KB storage |
| 19:28.56 | zenzelezz | but for me it was basically a one-time implementation |
