1. Recreated maps NOT vmaps and put them on the server.
2. Arr some AreaIDs to AreaTable.dbc binded to the MPQ ID.
3. Paint this IDs on the new Map with the AreaID Painter.
4. Go ingame, Save and re log.

Did you also add the right MapID in the second colum?

the ad.exe only loads these patches:
"common.MPQ",
"common-2.MPQ",
"lichking.MPQ",
"expansion.MPQ",
"patch.MPQ",
"patch-2.MPQ",
"patch-3.MPQ",
"patch-4.MPQ",
"patch-5.MPQ"
so try to rename the patch were your custom map is to patch-5.mpq and extract again the maps with ad.exe

when the ad.exe is running it says what patches is loading, so be sure your patch is shown there
that was what i had to change and now it works for me

No creat new AreaID on the ID of your map. Then put AreaID on ADT.

What the hell should row 22 in Map.dbc relate to this.

I realy dont understand what you meen :)

22    Unknown    Integer    Another resettime? Is the same as the heroic one for some entries.

There is no AreaID link in Map.dbc. There are only Map ID links in AreaTable.dbc.

It works for me, and it's a faster and easy solution, much TBC instances use this method.

PD: This is ONLY to view the name in Who list, guild list, etc... you can set a new AreaID into ADT'S.

Hellu everyone! I'm having the /who issue as well, even though I'm pretty sure that I've done everything correctly.

I've edited the map.dbc & areatable.dbc correctly (I think), both client side & server side.
I've painted the areas in noggit. (I can see the area-names above the minimap in-game).
I've also extracted the maps with my customized mpq included and put them on my server.

But still no area-name in /who, guild or in the character screen... :(

See attached files for my DBC files.


Thanks in advance! :D
