Title: [SOLVED] [Noggit 1.4] Not loading custom maps
Post by: Grimtonz1337 on March 15, 2015, 08:39:18 pm
Hello.

I've been trying to make a custom map and test some things on it, but I can't access my map in Noggit 1.4. Here's the log list:

http://pastebin.com/UvwgFUBz (http://pastebin.com/UvwgFUBz" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

My WoW Path is:

Path = F:TomeWorld of Warcraft 3.3.5

My project path is enabled in the config file and it's:

ProjectPath = C:UsersUserDesktopProject

Inside the Project folder is the DBFilesClientMap.dbc and WorldMaps<Continent Name>.wdts and .adts

I've also tried putting the DBFilesClient and the WorldMaps<Continent Name>.wdts and .adts in my WoW Directory, but I still can't view my map in Noggit.

Can someone help me troubleshoot this problem or something? Thanks.

DBFilesClient: https://mega.co.nz/#F!Og0ERKAJ!QA1JHY0J6hR3zWK1QQGT1A (https://mega.co.nz/#F!Og0ERKAJ!QA1JHY0J6hR3zWK1QQGT1A" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

So noggit doesn't load your map? or is the map not shown in the list?
You have to create a folder in your "noggit wow" named "DBFilesClient". You have to put in there your modified .dbcs.

Your project files (like adts and wdt) have also to be in your wow folder so your folder should loke like:

WoWworldmapsYOURINSTANCENAMEwdt and adt files
and
WoWDBFilesClientYOUR DBCS

I stated that as well. I have done it like that and still, it's not shown on the list.

As he is using the project path he doesnt need to make thosr foldrrs insidr the noggit wow folder.

Edit:
Try deleting your custom patch in your noggit wow folder if there are other things besides textures. For example if there is a map.dbc this could afaik cause your map to not show up inside of noggit.

Just re-downloaded WoW 3.3.5, still not working.

Is it because I'm using an external hard disk? Can that cause a problem?

If it's not too much trouble, think you could rar up your Map.dbc and upload it here? and also tell us which ID is your custom map.

Updated OP with DBFilesClient + .adts and .wdts

Okay, sry. I don't make good experience with the project path, so I always worked with the files in the wow folder.

I think u just miss something in the dbc, the ID or the name.

Nope, just checked. The ID is 725 (last ID is 724) and name is Test.

You do realize that MapID 13 is also named test right?

Afaik the maps are loaded by ID's not names but thats something i don't know exactly.
And also the external hd should not cause any issues.

But in case the name has something to do with your problem, try renaming your map.

Also i do hope that you are using the newst version of you map.dbc.

Tried both of your methods, I even changed the .adts and .wdts with the other name I changed "TestIsland2" and still isn't working........

I'm looking into it, trying to figure out what the cause is, if I use my own adt/wdt files it works fine. trying to figure out if it's your adt or wdt file or where the cause is at.

Use a hex editor like 010 Editor and modify the flag that's set to 01 to 00 like I have in this image here, then save and close it out:
(http://puu.sh/gBVvN.png)

I had renamed the files and folders and the name of the map.dbc entry to grimtonz
For some odd reason your Talis generated WDT File had this as 01, that's new to me, it's always been 00 for me on my wdt files.  Change that and it'll show up in Noggit with the Continents listing.

My Folder listing is how you have it in your first post:
(http://puu.sh/gBVR0.png)

(http://puu.sh/gBW8V.jpg)

And here it is with the Description changed to TestIsland2
(http://puu.sh/gBWkJ.jpg)
(http://puu.sh/gBWtq.png)

I was going to make a video but I don't think that's needed.  these images should help enough :)

Alright, it's working now. I guess I have to re-download Taliis or something... Or just use MyDbcEditor. :P

Thanks again!!!

We already figured it out. as noted in my rather large post that he quoted.  Someone should mark this as solved unless the OP does it himself.
