Okay so I was creating a map, Followed all the steps and it loaded up in noggit and I spend a hour quick mapping it. Saved it and then hit g so i could port. Went to open my game and launch my server and I saw that i put the wrong MAP.dbc so I had to extract it from the patch-enUS-3.MPQ again, edit it with talis and then saved it in my dbc folder of my game and server and added it to my patch-A.MPQ. Now the client will load up so I went to port to it using the coords from noggit and It said invalid map. So i closed my game and server and I went back to my map in noggit and its not there anymore.... So heres some conf
#This is a config file template. To use it rename into noggit.conf and set your options
#Edit this to your WoWFile!!!
Path = C:WoWModdingClient335aNoggit
#Edit this to your Project-Directory and uncomment if you want to use it!
ProjectPath = C:WoWModdingProjectsSunsetBloodpatch
Now when i go to my WoWmoddingProjectsSunsetBloodPatchWorldmapsValia
I see my wdt and all the adts. Also when i open up my patch-A.MPQ from C:WoWModdingClient355aNoggitData i see

when I go to C:WoWModdingClient355aNoggitdbcmaps.dbc i see
(http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii552/purpleflee/mapdbc_zps2a243f24.png)
Same thing in my server and patch-a.MPQ
But when i go to Noggit this is what i see

idk what i did wrong. I was editing the map earlier.

I think you have wrong dbc. Also don't use Tallis for editing dbcs, use MyDbcEditor. The name of the string in DBC must be the same that Adt's and Wdt's name.

False, Tallis is sometimes one of the only programms able to edit non-default sized DBCs. So discarding it would be terrible depending on your future plans. I myself use a combination of DBCUtil, MyDBCEditor and Tallis and provide it to other people whenever I need to.
Never the less. Either place the DBFilesClient into your project folder or into a localization file - else, Noggit doesn't load it.

And how should your map show of under continent if YOU set the type to raid?
If you copy just a line copy a one like azeroth ;)

ADT corrupted or just missing in patch?
-
Shooting into the blank, I'd say you shifted adts while wow was running before going onto it, meaning that the safeguard produced this error. This happens for example when you overwrite adts while wow was running and went onto them without leaving to another spot. If you do something like that, move to a completely different map, so it can unload, before going into the adt again.
-
Is it cause the floor is black?
-
Open you patch in MPQEdit. Open up all folders and mark themap folder with your files inside. Then post image.

In the MPQ:

In noggit:

In game:

I loaded the map and then started to run around and it crashes. Why does this keep happening? I dont edit anything in noggit after i add the map to the patch mpq
-
Your first image shows the reason for the last image: That file does not exist.
-
So adt adder didnt make all the files?
If i run ADT adder will that fix the problem? and make sure all the dots are there? Or will i have to start from scratch?
Okay so i figured out the problem! With your help!
When i do ADT ADDER i do it wrong. I was doing the Down > Over instead of Over > Down. ADTS fixed. Have to remap. Luckily wasnt that far along!
-
I don't even know what "adt adder" is and it is irrelevant. Point is, that there is a file missing. Add that file to the MPQ. If there is no such file, duh, create it or remove that tile from the WDT.
-
Its a tool in Steffs stuff. Basically you say the column number and the row number for start and the last column number and last row number in the wdt (of your checked squares) and put that for finish and then it creates those ADTs
-
Still, obviously, you are missing files.
-
Perhaps you deleted file. Just copy one of the adt, drag it to offsetfix.exe and pack your patch. If this is your only missing file it should work then. I never had missing files after running the adder. Perhaps you have closed the adder before it was done.
