Title: Models not showing in game
Post by: pdg on October 09, 2011, 11:15:52 am
Hi, I've been using Noggit to make some small changes to Dun Morogh, close to Kharanos. I made a copy of the Thunderbrew Distellery and moved it to another hill/mountain to the east. I then saved, created my MPQ and loaded WoW.

Upon entering Kharanos, I don't see anything! The main buildings are there, (but not the copy of Thunderbrew Distellery) no trees, no caravans. NPCs are still showing. It looks like this has affected the entire ADT as it's a large area that is now devoid of models.

I've Googled and checked this board but cannot see answers to this. Anyone care to guide me in the right direction?

Thanks

I have no idea why you haven't found anything, but this problem has been discussed many times. Its a bug being introduced by a badly written MCRF chunk.

Probably because I wasn't searching for technical terms like MCRF  :oops:

So according to the link you provided I have to run this tool every time?

This tool fixed a problem with the mcrf chunk that noggit had in older version
I'm running Noggit $Rev: 104$ Jan 15 2010, 15:23:52

I though that was the most recent stable version.

It is the most recent non-beta version. (Actually, there was another one but I have no idea where that is.)
You may as well apply for the beta.

Whilst I am waiting for the beta reply, I decided to give that tool a try. Started from scratch with the original maps, deleted all ADTs and MPQs made by me. Made a simple change to the map, saved.

Ran the ADT file through the tool, created a new patch, same thing. I don't see any models etc.
