Title: [HELP] Copywater for expansion maps
Post by: Petisoo on January 22, 2015, 07:44:26 pm

Hi,

I've a problem, which is that I can't use Copywater for expansion01_x_y.adt, because according to the message: "There's no water in the ADT", but this is totally wrong.

Any idea? I really need help.

Thank you.

That's because TBC water is not MH2O. It is stored in the MCLQ chunk if I remember it correctly. You need to copy this one, there is indeed no usual water on your adts. By the way, why the hell do you need to copy water if Noggit is now able to save it.

'Cause I'm using SDL 1.2 and I thinking that I'm a new kinda of stupid.

Can I use this adts in a newer noggit?

EDIT: Forget about my previous question. Next question is: How can I add the water that older noggit screwed?

Each new noggit will destroy your mclq based water, but there is no better adt editor than noggit, so use it, when work will be done you can copyMCLQ chunks back from oryginal adt's by using download/file.php?id=865 (http://modcraft.io/download/file.php?id=865" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) copyMCLQ tool.

Thank you, but... can you give a tutorial?

Sorry.

Edit: The program instantly closes every time I try to run it.

 - extract file to d: or somwhere else where easy to find
- also put there source and destination adts
- start dos cmd window
- change path to the file ( type d: )
- type copymclq.exe destination.adt source.adt

easy :)

Noggit 3 can only save Vanilla water by the way.

I still have the sources of copyMCLQ on my computer somewhere, if you want to send me your adt files too maybe I can try to fix the program for you and release the alpha version 0.0.0.2 :D
