[QUESTION] Custom Continents without YiasContinentCreator?

[Doronamo]

I've recently started to try to get back into Noggit (it's been a good 2-3 years) but my computer & brain has changed quite a bit. I'm still having to relearn a lot of things, and one of the things that has slipped my mind is continent creation.

I tried Yias Continent Creator, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Gave the error that it couldn't find a path, so I did as was suggested and made a .reg and ran it, now it just crashes straight up.

Are there any other programs that I can use for continent creation, as well as perhaps a guide to refresh my brain? I've been getting used to Noggit all day, and continents seem to be my only problem. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what YiasContinentCreator does.

But going about creating new continents, these are the tools I usually use.

Taliis: For ADT creation (Though, I think FuTa might be able to replace Taliis on that matter) and DBC editing.
GruulMe: For WDT creation (Works for Cataclysm/MoP builds as well, if you plan on converting your ADTs to those clients).

And obviously I'm using Noggit for the actual worldbuilding.

There is a tutorial part about this.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for.

I do have a question though, as far as adding ADTs to existing continents. As a test, I tried adding ADTs to test01 via your #11 guide and there's no terrain. The ADTs exist and everything, I can see the squares show up and I can move on the ADT but I don't see any terrain. Is it something I did wrong?

Also, I'm using 335a WOTLK.

That depends on what you did.

Created new adts with adt adder as copy of template.
Offsetfix them with fix bat
Recreate wdt file.

[Doronamo]

I believe I did everything except for recreating the wdt file. However, for the offset fixer, do I have to drag all the ADTs onto the program or just run the program once with all the ADTs in the same folder?

>> Run the fix.bat script with double click to fix cords of all ADTs.
