haven't looked into it to hard but for only $99 a year from what I can tell at this point this is very awesome...
It is basically what you all are doing here just you can't use any assets from other titles just would have to create your own. With as much time that is spent on the emulation part I could see this being a rather decent alternative... anyway just that it was cool and wanted to share it here =D

what you all think ?

For some reason with the 2.0 and the Futa from tutorial can import the alphamaps just fine but for some reason I can see outline in the textures for each chunk of the ADT for the alpha map I imported. Is there a work around for this?

It is similar to when you have the lines on then edit a blizzard adt how it shows that way just instead of seeing the adt borders I am seeing all the borders for each chunk in the adt.

this a known issue or am I doing something wrong when I create the alphamap in gimp?

Here is a quick video to show what I mean

I was bored and just started going around and looking at the mmorpg sites which I have not done in a long time to be honest. (Ok so a VERY LONG time)

I came across Neverwinter on Arc Games and saw something called The Foundry. Dug a little deeper and as I was reading it pretty much gives you everything the developers use to create the world except it is part of the game. You make your own maps/quests and what have you and other players can then go and play/review it.

I was thinking to myself (isn't that what I am trying to do with wow atm?) lol....

I am downloading it right now just for that sole reason of being able to make my own content but I also wanted to ask if anybody here has ever used/played it before that could give a little idea about it?

Cause from what I can tell that is just bloody awesome in my book.

Not the import height map but the Inject Heightmap in the replacement tools from the edit window when you open and adt file.

Granted you can only import the heightmap from another adt you have opened in Taliis but figured that might help whoever might be trying to create something to import heightmaps. Take a peek at the code and what nowm though I would share .

I went thru a couple of different tutorials on area ID's and such for custom maps and I completed 1 area ID for my custom map. Able to bring it up in-game and The Map ID, Zone ID, and Area ID all showed up just fine when I typed in .gps.

Now the problem I am having is when I do another zone that is child to that one, example below:

Map.dbc 1000 is Arcana and it is linked to 5000 in the Areatable.dbc
Areatable.dbc 5000 is called Coltaria, and this is where everything works fine, this next part is what breaks the relationship that's is going on atm.

Areatable.dbc 5001 (Kingston) who's Parent is 5000 is breaking the relationship. (Is it cause the map.dbc isn't linked to it like in 5000?

any help would be much appreciated.

Incase your not clear what I am trying to say I have uploaded my DBC files for you to download and check out to maybe see what I am doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated here as I am getting very frustrated with this lol.

(trying to get it so I properly have my mapid, zone ID and area id when I type .gps ingame (the names still show up but when I make the child it breaks it)

EDIT: Figured out what the issue was, I was using Talis to do it and it didn't work, I went and used MyDBC Editor doing the exact samething I did in Talis and it worked perfectly.... So I think Talis might have been screwing something up. For future ref. anybody doing this I would use MyDBC Editor for it not Talis (at least that what happened to me .

Cheers =D

Here is what I am trying to do which leads to what I am needing help with

1. Copy a certain section of Eastern Kingdoms (say Westfall up at the top where the mine is)
2. Create a new map with those copied Adt's so I have a clone of it and rename it something like (Westfall Rift One)
3. Do all the hoopla stuff you need to do to load it up in Noggit to put up an impassable area where I don't want people to go and to also edit want I want to edit.
4. Create the patch and what not and change the DBC file in the emulator so I can load it into the game and go there.
5. Walla, I have a copy of that section of westfall to create my custom content onto.

Just for reference I am doing a Mod of sorts called "The Time Keepers" hence the reason I am needing to copy different maps and edit them (cause you are jumping around in time but in general the maps would be the same), hence the reason I need to copy them.

Any help would be VERY much appreciate lol

This is for 3.3.5a for those wondering
