HexDBC

A modern, code-based DBC editor for World of Warcraft 3.3.5a (WotLK) modding.

HexDBC reimagines DBC editing by treating data as code. Instead of working with cumbersome spreadsheets, you edit DBC files using a clean, readable text format (.hexdbc) with full syntax highlighting and validation.
