Title: Subzones on the world map
Post by: Snike on December 05, 2018, 02:03:57 pm

Hi, everybody. I need professional help. I moved the map of the lost Islands from MOP to 3.3.5, set the coordinates of the border and everything works. But I can't figure out which DBC files to edit to open the subzones on the world map, so the map was filling up during the flyby of the subzones. Thank you in advance for your help. (sorry for my English)

That's WorldMapOverlay which defines the uncoverable areas per WorldMapArea. Note that in BfA this system was completely rewritten and now is in UiMap*, working roughly the same but no longer being a copy+paste job for retroporting.

that didn't help. Do I need to change maps, mmaps, vmaps?

Exploration is done via the associated https://wowdev.wiki/DB/AreaTable record‘s area bit. The server needs to know those, which probably is extracted maps. If .gps or alike knows the area name/id, it should work.

I realized my problem: the server does not see the zone and the area on the map. But the extractor doesn't help. GPS still zone 0 and area 0

Hello professionals. Need your help. I did everything by the book. Moved the map Kezan. Added map to Map.dbc added areas to AreaTable.dbc, moved these DBC to the ruRU-3 patch.MPQ and export the maps folder, vmaps for the server. But still, when you are on the map, the server determines the map, the zone, but does not correctly determine the area on the zone. Writes: Map: 804 (Kezan) Zone: 5045 (Kezan) Area: 5045 (Kezan) although area should be 5053. What have I done wrong? Thanks in advance.

most likely the extractor didn't even pick up the mpq. that's the most common issue with that thing.
