Hash-addressed payloads for Lau Setup. Download the installer from the latest stable release. Author: Neil Mitchell
DBC changes — 3.0.7 → 3.0.8
No DBC edits. All seven DBC files are byte-identical in all six Patch-Y editions (42 comparisons). No records, fields or string values changed. The other 22 catalog assets, including locale Q and shared S assets, are also unchanged.
The 90° cone update changed five .m2 models and their five .skin files, plus the addon version label. Sindragosa was already 90°. Existing DBC bindings, range and animation timing were retained.
See the DBC changelog for the exact model list and future individual DBC edits, and the before/after hash evidence. Client-file parity does not validate server damage boundaries.
DBC history since the Andre handoff
The retained 3.0.4–3.0.8 Patch-Y release archives have identical DBC data between consecutive versions; the later visual updates changed models/textures. Installer hotfixes also leave game DBC data unchanged.
Andre intentionally omitted Spell.dbc because of localization conflicts (six other visual/model DBCs were present). The initial Lau addition exposed the language dependency. Lau and Andre debugged it together, and the multilingual rebuild resolved the text compatibility issue.
Lau identifies the development milestones as 3.0.4: initial addition, 3.0.5: multilingual fix, and 3.0.6–3.0.8: hotfixes with version bumps. Retained published artifacts use overlapping early labels: the archived 3.0.4 baseline already includes the multilingual fix. The audit therefore separates development history from exact archive comparisons.
