FileDataID

FileDataIDs (or FileID) uniquely identify files in the Content Addressable Storage Container, and have been used as a replacement for internal file paths since Patch 7.0.3. For example, the "Interface/Icons/Temp.blp" texture can also be referred to using its 136235 FileDataID.

Negative integers are temporary/local file IDs; these are not specified in the CASC root file and may change when the client is restarted.

• FileDataIDs are searchable using the community listfile - a CSV file (semicolon separated):
• https://github.com/wowdev/wow-listfile/
• A Lua table of interface textures is available from:
• https://www.townlong-yak.com/framexml/live/Helix/ArtTextureID.lua

• - Returns the FileID for a file path.
• - Accepts texture FileIDs.
