Changing the Z position of ADT tiles
« on: August 17, 2013, 06:06:45 pm »
I am currently working with the ADT converter the Will/Anthony released on here.  I have been working on the Abyssal Maw map and have run into an issue.  All of the terrain in the map is under the death line(aka you go so far down on the map you die). These converted maps will not open up in Noggit and I have tried using the Rius Zone Masher to change the Z position of the map but so far that has just caused the maps to break and wow to crash. Is there any other way to fix this issue?

{MDDF, MODF}.pos.z
MCNK[].base.z

http://www.wowdev.wiki/index.php?title=ADT

Use a hex editor or write a small application. Or ask someone to write one.

I have one of the ADTs opened up in 010 Editor atm.  I am looking throught the MCNK chuck right now but I am not seeing a reference to z.  The wiki doesnt really seem to mention the z position either in this chunk.

010editor allows to write scripts, which should be enough.

Sorry about the delay in the reply.  If I ever get a day or two off work that I can sit down and try to learn what I am doing and make it, I will share it.  Not sure when that will be though.  Off season at work should start soon.....I hope....

I think it would help a good number of people.  I know Vashjir and Abyssal Maw have this issue, and I think a few other Cata+ maps might also.  I also want to use it on one of the dungeons from wrath.  It has a massive zone(partial) beneath it that I want to do something with.

XDD, I just made them all 100 and now it looks like a really bad puzzle, doodads seemd to have dissapeared, they aren't beneath me either, I looked with a no clip hack just to make sure..



I reckon that even if they were prefectly aligned, the objects probably still wouldn't be there.

MDDF uses a different coordinate system than MCNK, iirc. Instead of z, you set y or x, thus that acid is close to the center of the whole map.

You probably want to use += instead and change the axis for MDDF.

Schlump, you're the greatest! ^_^ You've done so much for the modding community and I don't think most people even realize it.  >.<   ;)
