Title: [QUESTION] How to add custom AreaID's to a Custom Continent?
Post by: ahkronn on May 16, 2012, 03:58:46 pm
The title kinda says it all.

I created a new continent and got it to work on Noggit3 (haven't yet tried to play it live, but that's not for now)

My problem is that when I try AreaID Paint I am not given any choice (Select AreaID Paint, press X).

All my land seems to be marked as "Duskwood: The Cemetary"

So, what I want to know is, how do I create custom areaID's (areaID & area name ofc) and get it on my new continent?

Did you creat your DBC entrys for the map?

AreaTable.dbc

Noggit only show the IDs that are belong to your map. If you creat a new there are no IDs.

nop, I didn't (It was my first try, carefully reading a tuturial around here. Maybe I missed that part?)

And yes, It's a new continent.

Back to the search about those areaTable.dbc wonders then.

Not for everything there is a tutorial. Having a look what DBCs exist often help along :) The most names are jsut self explaining,

http://www.pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php ... aTable.dbc (http://www.pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?title=AreaTable.dbc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Best is to copy an entry from a similar zone and just change the values.
