Extracting GameObject models...Fatal error: Invalid GameObjectDisplayInfo.dbc file format!

Anyone else have this problem?

Same error on extracting vmaps on ubuntu 14.04

[shanshaan]

you can try this hack. it works but its not nice.

i encoutered the same error. first i thought it would be solved if the cache_xxx.mpq are included but that didn't solve the problem.

as second step i updated stormlib to most recent git revision but that also didn't solvre the problem. as third step I had a look at the mpqs to find the most recent one with the needed dbc which i manually loaded for extraction. 

remember this is just a hack and not well coded. there need to be a real generic fix for that issue.

Thanks @Shanshaan, that didn't work for me though (Admittedly I may have changed the "ExtractGameobjectModels" code in gameobject_extract.cpp incorrectly).  New error I'm getting on commit (75ea2f19c47a381cacec2674a5d28fb7d4e72695) is:

Most of your troubles are caused by not having your content completely downloaded.

[shanshaan]

and this can be solved by ? 

moving everywhere after each patch ?

[BrettDioson]

Yeah, I'm unaware of a way to force download of everything. Anyone know how that's done?
