If you set projectPath, your project should be in that.

That’s _not_ in the project directory. Notice that world at the end there?

Yes. If your project path is xxx, your dbc needs to be in xxxdbfilesclient/map.dbc. Note how I didn’t insert a slash there. Noggit does not do that. Set your project path to xxx/ to „fix“ that.

so my project path is => C:\Users\Christophe\Desktop\New NOGGIT\Map de noggit

so i creat a folder inside map de noggit called '' DBFilesClient '' put in map.dbc

like on the screenshot, and then i have to set my project path like => C:\Users\Christophe\Desktop\New NOGGIT\Map de noggitdbfilesclient/map.dbc

Am i right ? or i'm doing wrong ?

( i'm really sorry i know that i'm a really big noobie in that :S excuse me for wasting your time )

If your ProjectPath is xxx, your files will be in xxxworld and xxxdbfilesclient and xxx…. Make it xxx\ and it will actually be sensible with xxx\dbfilesclient etc.

Your project path is $X. Your files are in $X$F where $F is dbfilesclient/map.dbc or world/maps/xxx/xxx.wdt…. Just add that fucking slash.

so => ProjectPath = C:\Users\Christophe\Desktop\New NOGGIT\Map de noggit\dbfilesclient/map.dbc

but i can't find in noggit :/

( i'm sorry i don't really understand very well what you mean )

Noggit loads the files projectPath + „dbfilesclient/map.dbc“. If projectPath is „C:/foo/bar“ then this becomes „C:/foo/bardbfilesclient/map.dbc“. You can see that happening with the world/maps/… files as well.

Add a slash to the end of the project path.
Add the dbc to the right location.

The project path needs to be the BASE path, the directory where all the files are. The directory where the world and dbfilesclient directories are in.
