Field descriptions
Fields 6 and 15, with the "non-pretty" race names, are used in assembling texture filenames when displaying characters.
- I find it funny that "Goblin" is a race in this list, however, such an inclusion seems acceptable when you remember that back in Alpha, Blizz originally intended to have Goblins in the game as a playable race that was neutral and could accept some (but not all) quests from both factions. -DG
- Also, another difference between fields 15 and 17 is that in 17, instead of "Scourge" the race name is "Undead". -DG
- Also, the last three fields, 26, 27, 28, are used in the character creation screen to cycle through the different features that are selectable per race (example, Humans change Hair, while Tauren change Horns). -DG
