Title: [QUESTION] Map.dbc error
Post by: Stroved on July 03, 2014, 03:03:50 pm
Hello!

I have been trying to make my own world for a couple of days, and I have made something in Noggit I wish to see in game. When following this tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=255 (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=255" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

I get this error:

Quote
Some required *.dbc files (1 from 104) not found or not compatible:
./dbc/Map.dbc exists, and has 126 field(s) (expected 66). Extracted file might be from wrong client version or a database-update has been forgotten.

I have done this a few times but always get the same error. The issue is that I am using 3.3.5a client, and 3.3.5a server, so I am unsure why I get this error.

When extracting the Map.dbc and not editing it at all, I still get the same error, so it doesn't look to be an issue with my editing of the file, but the file itself?

I am new to all of this and would love to get into making my own stuff, but my first hurdle has me stumped! If anyone would help that would be awesome :)

You got it right. It is a problem of the file itself. You had extracted the wrong version.
In order to extract the right on you might want to have a look at this: viewtopic.php?t=98 (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?t=98" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

It turns out, extracting my client's version gave the error, but using the one I downloaded, was fine. So I ended up editing that and now it works and my world is in game!

There was a difference of like 20kb between the two versions, so no idea what my client is using.

There several patches that include dbc's and also the map.dbc. you have to use the lstest one for both your server and your client.
But anyway as it works now: happy modding (:
