Title: [SOLVED] How to change adt ID HELP!
Post by: Ginev on April 26, 2015, 11:23:27 am
Ok guys i open some of my adts with Talils program and when i click on the AreaIDs option the program simply bug and freeze.This is happening with every adts i am trying to change IDs.I try to find the ID number with Hex Editor but with no luck.So can someone explain me how to change the ID of some adt?Is there some other way?I want to do this because before time i create new map from scratch.It show in Noggit but i can't teleport to it ingame with the coordinates from Noggit (via port file) so thats why i create new island in Azeroth but i want to change the ID.Help! :D

Well in my tools folder i have a 010Template folder with some .bt files but dont know what to do with them and how to use them.About Hex Editor i have a Version 1.7.7.0 (just saying probably not important).So i open some adt with hex editor but everything is coded and dont know where is the ID number.Someone could explain?Not because i haven"t use it before...

Wrong Hex Editor, Alastor said 010 Editor, not HxD HexEditor

What's everyone actually suggesting here, now that I look at it...
AreaID = the sub regions within an adt ? E.g. areaname ? Set them in Noggit. The Map itself is Mapname_IDX_IDY, so you have the id there (somewhat).

Also, if you want to add new adts to an existing area (e.g. additional adts to azeroth), you have to add them in the wdt.

Ye i already edited the wdt and add a new island but when i go there ingame the name is Duskwood the Cemetary.So now how to change that name to something else?I was hoping someone to tell me when i open some adt with 010 Editor to explaine me where and how to find the ID of that adt.

Are those adts aligned to azeroth ? Every head-area (e.g. region names like duskwood) should be available to you to place there, as you add areas to each single map in areatable.dbc

Duskwood: The cemetry is the default area, so to speak.

All my adts for my new island are aligned in Azeroth.Even the names of the adts are named Azeroth but they dont have the same numbers like the original Azeroth adts.So when i clik on the AreaId paint all my adts have ID 32 (duskwood).So when i click SHIFT and hold then i click left mouse button i make a little pink squares on the ground.And after i point them again with my mouse their ID change from 32 to 214 (the Great Sea).However i dont need that number aswell.It seems i dont understand how to do it.Maybe in some future someone can make a short video how to do it.Dont lose your time with me guys.It seems i am not ready to understand that yet.  :(

You should read the areaid tutorial from steff entirely if done correct everything should work just fine.

Post by: Ginev on May 01, 2015, 03:48:27 pm
So when i press X why the last number is City-3459?In the areatable dbc there is more numbers they reach around 30 000.So why in Noggit the last one is only City?Is that a limit for the program in some sort?I add in areatable new id (34171 if i remember corectly) but i dont see it in Noggit.The last one again is 3459.Ohh never mind ill edit some of the stocks.Will figure out something.Thanks for the help guys.

The window whichbis apearing doesnt consist only of a list. Somerwhere on it there should be a little arrow with which you can navigate to other areas.
