[Question][New map] Area name in char creation and who list.
« on: October 02, 2011, 02:58:24 am »
Hi to everyone, first of all, I'm spanish so sorry for my posible bad english. I write this because I have a problem with the name in /who or guild when you're in a new map:

-Ok, I have made a new map, it has his map.dbc, his areatable.dbc and mapdifficulty.dbc too, all of these 3 dbc's edited. It seems that everything is right, I patch it, with the adt's and wdt well edited (or it seems so), and ingame the name of the zone (tierras heladas, frozen lands in english) is shown above the minimap, but in /who or in guild it is shown as "unknown" o there's no name directly.

I think it can be a dbc problem, it's the most probably, but I don't know, so if it is a dbc problem with map o areatable I'll be so happy if any of you show me how to edit it well, but I repeat that in first case it seems that is allright.

EDIT: I have already seen this topic (viewtopic.php?f=10&t=692) but I've done what the last person said, correctly I hope. And everything goes in the same way.

Thank you, bye.

The server needs the same data as the client, of course.
When setting up the server first, you extracted DBCs and maps. Do that again using the modified data.

So I need to extract again maps and DBCs with the new patch included in data folder? My patch is patch-X.MPQ, do I need to do a patch-esES-4.MPQ in the esES folder or only with patch-X in data folder? I don't know if only with that the problem will be solved.

Just copy the DBCs to your server :)

And take care the the area IDs on the ADSs are set to the right Area IDs you have in your DBC.

That's already done and the problem continues. Here you have the DBCs, if someone wants to take a look, the IDs in the map.dbc are 800, 801 and 802.

That's probably because your map extractor is not extracting those edited maps.

Are you sure that the extractor is reading your patch?

Steff had a valid point, does it not work if you just copy the DBCs over?

I think I might know the problem.
If your running ArcEmu, you also need to specify the world in the Database. If not, I assume it would either not work, or return that "Unknown"...

Thanks

I don't think it has much to do with dbc. I had the dame problem some time ago since I realidad thet the extractor didn't extractes my custom maps, so I put them into a Blizzard MPQ, reextracted maps and then it worked.

Also, I don't know if it will be the case, but i know that some people had problems with that when they had more than one language installed.

Hopee it helps.

Just for everyone else: that can work with the official mpqs to get your vmaps extracted. But be sure to save yourself a secure copy of the original file,as this can get you in troublewith updating your client version.

I get it to work now. For me it was the missing AreaTable.dbc on the server.
So the server cant get the area ID and cant save it into the MySQL server DB.
I copied the DBC. Restart the server, login and logout again to get the ID saved in the characters db and after the next login name get displayed.
