Deleting existing WoW maps?

(1/2) > >>

Eponyx:
Hello guys,

I want to reduce the WoW client size by removing all existing maps (azeroth, eastern kingdoms, northrend etc) since im making everything from scratch. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

No. he wants to delete server stuff, I want to delete client stuff. Since I will be using my own created world azeroth and stuff is being empty, taking up tons of space in my client, to reduce the client size I want to remove it (from the client).

Big Bad Bot:
1- Go to the "Data" folder  in the client directory.
2- Open common-2.mpq, expansion.mpq, lichking.mpq, patch.mpq, patch-2.mpq and patch-3.mpq.
3- Go to the World folder and delete the Map folder in each one.
4- Go to "operations" and "compact archive" in each file.
5- ????
6- Profit


EDIT: if you're using anything but 3.5 WLK I don't know, but it's the same idea.

Amaroth:
Modifying blizzlike MPQs is quite risky especialy if you don't have backups. Btw, as far as I know, it can also corrupt them, so WoW can't read them anymore.
