Did you edit the server DBCs aswell?

[bizzlesnaff]

Yes, of course

[Krang Stonehoof]

In your AreaTable.DBC, exploreFlags are 0.

When you are editing DBCs, take a look at the WIKI and make sure you're doing it right. (You can just google.com, type in your file.DBC and check the first link).

Check the fourth column. On Wiki it's called AreaBit, in DBC Editor it's called exploreFlags.

"Use new unique value when creating custom row for making maps work correctly. Max=4500"

Also, you must generate updated map data for the server. You must make sure that the map extractor is also targeting your custom map, as it needs to be in a specific directory for this to work. For me, I had to place the updated DBC's inside DataenUSpatch-enUS-4.mpq last time I checked.

This is why your area id's are showing as as Unknown. The server doesn't have the map data.

Extract map to server

I believe I have already posted you answer.:

Extract maps while including your custom ADTs and DBCs, as it is described in this tutorial and update them on server side.

Just a detail: maxval is 4096 for Trinity Core. 128 values x 32bit

[Amaroth]

Makes sense, at least if there is no other factor than just max size of value type. Fixed.

It's what you can save atm in characters.exploredZones. It's a string that holds 128values each representing a 32 bit value.

May the wow.exe could support higher values for the flags. But than you have to modify the core too.
