Lich king ADTs in cataclysm?

(1/7) > >>

-Dave:
Has anyone managed to do this, and if so - how? I took a brief look inside the MPQs and it seems the whole maps system has been reworked (as you'd expect from the kind of crazy shit they did with cataclysm) - so now there are four ADT files.

Continent_xx_yy.adt
Continent_xx_yy_obj0.adt
Continent_xx_yy_tex0.adt
Continent_xx_yy_tex1.adt

From the suffixes I'd guess obj0 holds object info while tex0 and tex1 hold texture information? (Would explain why GM island is no longer textured, perhaps it's missing the _tex ADTs?)

I've tried simply replacing the original ADT  and ignoring the extra three just on the offchance that it may work, both in a patch and inside the actual world.MPQ (backing it up, of course) and it didn't seem to work. Has anybody got some kind of converter or is this impossible for now?

schlumpf:
There is a converter in the tools section.

-Dave:
Gah! Can't believe I didn't see that... It didn't come up in search results anyway :3 Thanks Lumpy!

/E: Do the output files need to be fixed or edited in any way after conversion? I've copied the path in World.MPQ perfectly in a Patch-D.MPQ (WorldmapsAzerothAzeroth_xx_yy.adt, etc) taking special care to get capitals and stuff right, but still nothing ingame but the boring old blank blizzard ADT that was there.

Mjollna:
The files shouldn't need any edit after conversion to work on Cata client.

The name "patch-D" may be your problem, see how patches are named in Cata (wow-update-smthg).

-Dave:
renamed to wow-update-base-50000 (Because it seems the -base ones have ADTs and the regular wow-updates are for DBCs) and still no luck :3 Have you managed to get any of yours to work?

/E: I noticed the number afterwards is the client's build number... For instance wow-update-base-14545 contains the firelands stuff.. Maybe patching in cata isn't as simple as it was before? I'm going to try packing my ADTs into the 14545 update (Since I'm using that build client) - keeping a backup of course.

//E: Still no luck :// Any more ideas?
