I'd hate to be a bumper, but has there been any further progress on this?

Actually, what we need is a team of editors and coders for the maps and dbc's.

This is a world rebuild using 3.3.5a as an engine but creating a whole new game world.  There will be new systems added (such as my senior project which is a revamped reputation system), new items and custom items for members (so there will also be a search for removing the notorious red ?.

There is a family tree of the gods, some lore, a few notes about the history and some of the organizations as well as a reference map.  I am drawing heavily from a variety of sources such as the Riftwar Saga, The Atlantean Trilogy (rpg), and a cosmology for a game I ran for ten years.

This is not a simple mod.  This is almost an entire rewrite of the game using mostly the same models with a few handful of edits to the models (a slight change in shape, color, etc.

I know C++, C#, I'm teaching myself python.  I might be able to help.  I can see a lot of issues that need to be fixed on Noggit.

Like, height maps from a greyscale, or fixing a stack overflow issue.

I didn't realize i had to put the map into a mpq file.  I did that and it worked just fine.  Sorry for the conofusion.  Now I'm working on finding where futa exports heightmaps to.
