Though in Cata it only works on the adt which contains the object info ofc :p I think you're having an issue of some sort with your computer, or your ADTs, if it isn't working correctly.
The last resort ofcourse, would simply be just to hex edit and replace all the M2 paths with 00's. But I wouldn't recommend it, and I've never tried, and Ill imagine it might think there are still models there, but no treepaths, so it'll crash cause it cant find "no object" :S
Just sayin' xP

Thanks

Can I send you an ADT and see if it works for you? I can confirm that they're not corrupted, because they're built with the latest Noggit version and I can make a patch out of them without WoW error. I can guess it's some kind of magical problem with my computer...

The tools might work if you're lucky. There is still a lot of potential, they destroy your ADT. Especially with Cataclysm.

So I'm basically screwed? I know Keta can save me from this dire situation, but he's probably not willing to help me out.

Well honestly, Schlumpf, call me lucky or w/e, but I've never, in all the time I've used Cryects Tools, had problems with the tool corrupting my ADTs. It may make it un-loadable for Wow sometimes, but that just requires a simple Noggit Load->Save, and then its all working again :p Dunno if I'm lucky or if its just my OS or wtf it is. And I don't really care. Its working, so I'm happy :D
Regarding to your problem Putte, try do it with Cryects (obviously keep a backup) and then try with the different revisions/builds of Noggit. I'm sure one of them would be able to load your ADTs and then just save and load in never Noggit versions :P Honestly, there is a heck lots of ways to get around this problem. Use your imagination :D Its not forbidden, just because the tools weren't made by you XD

Thanks

It not your OS, you really are just lucky to use the tools on ADTs it does not destroy.
The problem is, that modification of something in the ADTs requires changes at completely other places. For example, there is a chunk containing a table with relative offsets to the other chunks. If these are not updated correctly, parsing the file may fail. Wow not being able to load it anymore is exactly the indicator for that. That noggit can still load it, results in bad handling of the data in noggit. It normally should crash as well, if we would parse the files correctly.
