This mod introduces an NPC that allows players to instantly apply pre-configured character templates that gear up, gem, set talents, and apply glyphs for any class. Ideal for quick character optimization for various roles and scenarios.

• race-specific gear options (e.g., humans receive no PvP trinket)
• administrator command for creating custom templates. Templates are managed directly through the database and config. No C++ edits needed

Menu

The NPC only offers templates for the player's class and level.

1. Main menu: one entry per category (e.g. TBC Pre-Raid, TBC Phase 1 … TBC Phase 5), any templates without a category, and Reset....
2. Category: one entry per build.
3. Build: what to apply: Apply everything, Gear only, Talents and glyphs, Talents only or Glyphs only. Only choices the build allows (mask) and has template data for are shown.
4. Reset...: Reset everything, or reset talents, pet talents (hunters), glyphs or equipped gear one at a time. Each option follows its NpcTalentTemplate.Enable* config switch.

Gear can only be applied with nothing equipped and talents only with no talent points spent. Use Reset... first if needed.

Creating custom gear sets

This process can only be done by an administrator and is error-prone. Creating gear sets should be done on a local development server and exporting sets from the DB to a .sql is recommended.

1. Setup a character with the desired gear set, gems, enchants, talents and glyphs.
2. .templatenpc create [TemplateName] creates database entries for gear, talents, glyphs and an entry in the index table for your class. A template name needs to be unique for that class and is case-sensitive. For example, when creating a PvP set for a lvl80 Restoration Druid .templatenpc create Restoration80PvPS8.
3. export to .sql
4. some manual changes are needed

The following entries are created in the acore_characters db: a. mod_npc_talent_template_gear: gear for your class, spec and race. When exporting, modify the raceMask as needed. When creating spec set for multiple races, create a template for one race, export to sql then create template for a new race. Modify the raceMask as needed b. mod_npc_talent_template_talents: no modifying needed c. mod_npc_talent_template_glyphs: no modifying needed d. mod_npc_talent_template_index: modify gossipText and set gossipAction. Builds are listed by gossipAction, lowest at the top. mask limits what the build may apply (1 = gear, 2 = glyphs, 4 = talents, 7 = all); several rows with the same class and spec in the same category are shown as one build. Set category to group the build behind a sub-menu (empty = main menu); categories are ordered by categoryOrder, then by name (the bundled sets use 1xx = Classic, 2xx = TBC, 3xx = WotLK). You can override a column to re-use talents or glyphs or gear from another template. For example, talents and glyphs from Restoration80PvP can be re-used
