Title: [SOLVED] So I made and modified a map, but...
Post by: Calibur on December 08, 2011, 12:39:30 pm
Hello.

I've created a map with Taliis, Continent Creator and Noggit. I added it to a patch and it loaded just fine, but the map appeared slightly buged to say the least. I then figured I had to do something to make it look as it did in Noggit. So well I opened noggit just to check, and it was now buged there too.. It seems as though the what do you call them? The red squares if you press f7, it seems as though they have switched places with eachother and looks quite random as well.

I ran the files through OffsetFix and RefrenceFix but it didn't help at all. The map looked fine as I was modifying it. I went through all the adts I had modified and saved each one of them (possibly saved some of them 2-3 times, just flew around and ctrl+s'd the whole thing). Then I made a patch, loged in game and it was messed up. I created a new WDT file for the ADTs but it didn't help at all.

So, here's a screenshot of how it looks in both Noggit and in-game.

Assistance on this issue would be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Just as a sidenote, that map was just fine when I loaded it the first time in-game and with Noggit. It was after I modified the landscape that this happened.

I downloaded the premade map that someone released here, and modified it. That one seems to work just fine. But I suppose I may have opened several processes on the same client so perhaps the MPQ got messed up or something, I don't know.

Edit: I may perhaps also have had an instance of the game running while editing the map with Noggit, but I didn't think this should matter since the client doesn't use the files that noggit uses (the custom adts within the client folder).

I deleted the wow client and copied over a clean one that I have as backup. Downloaded the premade map > modified it > saved adts > created an MPQ, and it works.

What has happened with the one I created first? Just look at the image I linked in my first post.

Thanks in advance.

Unless you have two totally separate installs, that's a very bad idea to get both running at the same time.

Alright guys, I suppose that was the issue then. Thanks.
