[TUTORIAL] Set up your custom Maps with a WoW Server
<< < (2/6) > >>
Sebbo:
1.4 Travel to your continent
In public there are many ways to get on your Maps. Now I will show you the two basic methods.
At first we have to look up a point on our continent where we will be teleported.
Open your Noggit and look at the lower line.
Write down or notice these 3 coordinates. (X, Y, Z). In my case it would be X=15874.3, Y=15897.2 and Z=133.580.
Now we need the MapID to enter the new continent. The MapID you can find in your Map.dbc. It is the number forwards your Map name in the Table section.
With these informations you are able to visit your custom continent.
First method: -> using the .go xyz command <-
NOTICE:
The newer Version of noggit support this. The key 'g' on your keyboard the SDL version of noggit saves you current position into the file "ports.txt" in the noggit folder. Therein you can find directly usable port commands for ArcEmu and Trinity!
To the Tutorial
Login the Server as GM.
Open your chat bar (standard pressing the enter button) an enter
“.go X-coordinate Y-coordinate Z-coordinate MapID”.
Enter your coordinates and MapID you searched for. (Make the entry without the “ Symbol :D)
In my case the command would look like
“.go 15874.3 15897.2 133.580 720”
For users with SQL-knowledge only
Second method: -> adding a teleport entry in the SQL-Database <-
Open your favoured SQL-Tool and connect to your Server. Open the World database.
Open the game_tele database.
Scroll down to the last entry and make a new one.
Description of the fields:
Id - the ID is a unique ID of the teleporter location. (It is usual to add an ID that is one number higher than the last number in the Database.)
position_x - your X-coordinate
position_y - your Y-coordinate
position_z - your Z-coordinate
orientation - the orientation that the player will have after teleporting (it’s a number between 0 and 7. you can look up an orientation with the .gps command. Turn your character in the way you wish and enter the .gps command in the Chat bar.)
map - your MapID
name – the name of the location
In my case the entry looks like
ID - 1428position_x - 15874.3position_y - 15897.2position_z - 133.580oriantation - 0map - 720name - sebbo
At the end you have to reload your game_tele database or restart your server.
To reload the database in game, use the reload command. (.reload game_tele)
After this is done you are qualified to teleport to your location by using the .tele command.
In my case the entry looks like
.tele sebbo
The best way to keep up your SQL-database clean is the usage of batch files.
So you can also create a .txt file on your hard disc and batch them into your SQL.
For example the entry of the batch files look like
Feel free to modify this line to your own :D!
Finally you see there are many ways to connect to your own continent.

SinisterX:
When we are editing existing adts, let say for example: The blocked Gilneas area in normal wow. (I'm thinking about creating my own little Gilneas there).
Once we've edited and saved our changes with noggit and have created our MPQ: (patch-enUS-4.MPQ).
We don't need to edit the map.dbc, or the server side dbc, right? Because these maps are already referenced. (They aren't new maps, just old adts that have been edited).
I did a little test. Followed the exact file structure for the adts. And my area changes don't show up in WoW. Do we need to use a model hack, in order to get the patch working? I'm using wow 3.3.3
-Thanks in advance.
Eluo:
patch-enUS-4.MPQ for dbc lua ect and interface files.
patch-4.MPQ for normal files like blp,adt wmo m2 ect.
