Get and Extract the Tutorial Pack
I have created a package where all stuff is included to get your environment up.
The installation will take some time but it will save you much time later and prevent many problems like corrupted WoW files or that you use the wrong files to mod.
http://www.file-upload.net/download-8969417/WoWModding.zip.html (http://www.file-upload.net/download-8969417/WoWModding.zip.html)
Filesize: 45MB
So please first download the ZIP archive and extract it on the root layer of one of your harddrives.
Do not put it onto your desktop or in some other folder. It MUST be directy located on a drive top layer.
C:WoWModding
D:WoWModding
E:WoWModding
F:WoWModding
What ever :)
This drive should have:
* A minimum of 70GB free space for pack and all client copies
* One of the following drive letters: C, D, E, F
I will use F for my paths in the rest of the tutorial. So you just have to swap it with the letter you have chosen.
Now you have a folder called WoWModding on your drive like the one you see in this image.
(http://modcraft.io/tutorial_images/ModcraftPatchFolders.jpg)
Folder Description
* Client335aNoggit = The source WoW for noggit.
* Client335aTest = The source WoW for ModelViewer and testing your patches.
* Client Files = All files of the client extracted. This way you can quickly get to the right files.
* Projects = The folder where all your projects will find a home.
* Tools = Tools and useful stuff we will use in this tutorial.
Now a list of all the stuff inside Tools
* 010Templates = Templates for the 010 Hex editor to easyer do hex work on files.
* ADTAdder = A tool that creates new map ADT copies from a source ADT.
* AllWaterGui = A Gui application to modify water layer of an ADT
* BLPConverter = Converts PNG files to BLP
* BLPShellExtention = Show BLP Files as Thumbnail preview inside the windows explorer.
* CMD = A set of needed CMD tools.
* DriveLetter = Setup files for this pack. Set the configs to the needed drive letter.
* FuTa = ADT alpha map import/export. Usefull for fast texturing.
* MPQEdit.1.1 = Manage the MPQ files.
* MPQEdit 3.2 = Manage the MPQ files.
* MyDBCEditor = Editor for the WoW client database files (DBC files).
* NoggitSDL = ADT Map Editor
* ProjectTemplate = Empty folder structure to start a new project.
* Taliis = WoW File editor. We use it to create WDT files.
* WoWModelViewer7 = View M2 and WMO models as well as import models into noggit.
Setup Your Modding Environment
After you have extracted the files you have to do the following steps to get everything working
>> Open up the following folder
F:WoWModdingToolsDriveLetter
>> Open the subfolder fitting to your drive letter you have extracted the pack to.
>> Copy the containing tools folder and past it into the following path and overwrite existing files.
F:WoWModding
This will copy the config files of some applications that are configured to your driveletter to the right folders.
>> Copy the content of a clean WoW 335a game client folder into the both client folders. The files should be located directly in these both folders. Don't just move a wow folder inside there. It will not work.
F:WoWModdingClient335aNoggit
F:WoWModdingClient335aTest
Why 2 client folders that waste my drive space? The problem is that 2 apps that access the same WoW game folder can destroy the game data in it. So if you want to have 2 applications opened at the same time, you need 2 clients. The Client335aNoggit is configured as the source of noggit. The Client335aTest is configured for the ModelWiever and you can test your own custom patches in this client.
>> Now open up the following apps to see if everything is working
F:WoWModdingToolsNoggitSDLnoggit.exe
F:WoWModdingToolsWoWModelViewer7wowmodelview.exe
(http://modcraft.io/tutorial_images/NoggitModelviewer.jpg)
If the applications just close again after start, you perhaps have the "read only" option set on folders or the folder rights are set wrong.
This often happens if you copy a wow over from another harddrive or downloaded it from the internet.
- Rightclick on the Client335aNoggit folder
- Deselect the read only checkbox and hit ok
- Rightclick on the same folder
- Select properties
- Select the security tab on top
- Select the extended rights button on the bottom right
- Check the option that tells you to bequeath all rights to all subfolders and files
Repeat this with the Client335aTest folder if needed.
Extracting the MPQ's
It is possible that more than one version of a file exists in the WoW MPQs. They can also have different versions. So if you use the wrong file in your patch, it will force wow to crash on startup.
To avoid this we will extract all MPQs in the order of the following list into the ClientFiles and overwrite existing files.
All MPQs to extract into ClientFiles:
From the WoW/data folder
* common.MPQ
* common-2.MPQ
* expansion.MPQ
* lichking.MPQ
* patch.MPQ
* patch-2.MPQ
* patch-3.MPQ
From your localization folder (data/enUS for US clients or deDE, enGB or frFR are other locals)
* locale-enUS.MPQ
* expansion-locale-enUS.MPQ
* lichking-locale-enUS.MPQ
* patch-enUS.MPQ
* patch-enUS-2.MPQ
* patch-enUS-3.MPQ
>> So open up MPQEdit 3.2 from the tools folder.
>> MENU > File > Open MPQ
>> Select the first file from the list below and open it up. Its common.MPQ in the wow/data folder. Just take the MPQs from Client335aTest.
(http://modcraft.io/tutorial_images/MPQEditorcomon.jpg)
>> In the left tree view of the MPQ folder structure select the top item like in the image above named also common.MPQ.
>> MENU > Operations > Extract
>> Set all options in the following window like you see in this image.
The path should point to the following directory.
F:WoWModdingClientFiles
(http://modcraft.io/tutorial_images/Extraction_options.jpg)
The MPQEditor will now extract all files included into this folder.
>> If it asks to overwrite then click yes to all.
>> Repeat these actions with all MPQs from the list above.
Now you always have the right file and you can also search with your OS search function for the filename.
You also should install the tool BLPShellExtention from the tools folder. It will add a preview function to the windows explorer. This way you will find textures and images faster. It looks like this.
(http://modcraft.io/tutorial_images/ExplorerExtention.jpg)
Some Words On DBC Editing
DBC's are data files including information for the client or the server in data form. You can think about them like excel tables. Every DBC is a big list of information like how the ground is named you are standing on, what weather set is located in the area you are or what spell´s exist.
In many cases you also have to copy your DBC's to the server you are using. Many times the server takes the information it gets from the client and compares them with the values in it's DBC's. So if for example a spell is different in the client and in the server DBC, it will just not work.
We will have to edit DBC's during many tasks of modding. Perhaps just have a look at them to get a feeling and an overview of what they are.
>> Open the MyDBCEditor from
F:WoWModdingToolsMyDbcEditorMyDbcEditor.exe
>> MENU > File > Open
>> Navigate to
F:WoWModdingClientFilesDBFilesClient
>> Open the file map.dbc.
Here you see the list of all maps you have in wow.
A good place to get an overview what all of these DBC's do and what most of the values are is the WoWDev wiki.
http://www.pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?title=Category:DBC_WotLK (http://www.pxr.dk/wowdev/wiki/index.php?title=Category:DBC_WotLK)
So now everything is ready for use. Now we will setup a testserver in the next chapter.
Or skip this if you still have one and start with the first build.

MAn when I open noggit It auto closes! and when I open model viewer it says "---------------------------

Fatal Error: WoW Model Viewer does not support your version of WoW.
Please update your World of Warcraft client!

OK

These are some really good tutorials! Thank you for making them, they are really helpful! :D

I think you have. Forgotten or done the drivefolder part wrong. Read it again. This set the noggit and modelviewer settings.
-
i cant get the noggit to work it just auto closes. i follow the directions and did the drive switch but still auto closes. what else do i need to do?
-
All that is written in the tut.
1. Copy the wow folder content to Client335aNoggit (without any custom patches!!)
2. Copy the tools folder to get correct config file
Then noggit should work
Modelviewer need also the client335aTest filled with client data.
-
Same problem as drake135. I followed the tutorial, installed all stuff in E:WoWModding with the complete wow client in version 335a in both Client335aNoggit and Client335aTest folders, but noggit closes as soon as it starts.
Log file attached (my system is windows 8)

-
Absolutly. In fact Paths printed in log.txt are matching my installation except for the strange mix of MS-DOS () and unix (/) style separators (Data/common.MPQ vs E:WoWModdingClient335aNoggitData). Don't know if it is the problem.
log.txt extract :
(MPQ.cpp:42): [Error] Error opening archive: E:WoWModdingClient335aNoggitData/common.MPQ
For example, the path to common.mpq on my installation is E:WoWModdingClient335aNoggitDatacommon.MPQ

Add me on Skype so we can start a teamviewer session.

Problem solved !!
The problem was coming from a prepack client 3.3.5a distribution that I dowloaded from the net. Although it was working with my local installation of Trinity Core, nuggit was refusing to open the mpq files.
This time I started with the official lich king client in version 3.0 that I patched to 3.3.5a with the offiicial patches.
And it solved the problem.
Thanks Steff for your quick answers.

-
I assume your problem was missing or wrong rights for your wow folder. It often happens when a client is downloaded from the internet.
-
I have continuously tried and tried again to get this working. But nothing i do seems to work, at all. Anyone mind giving me a hand? I've probably missed a step... or two.
-
Add me on skype. So we can have a teamviewer session later.
-
This is cataclysm version modelwiever? and i have 3.3.5a client that why it not work ;S so i dowload older version?
-
No, if you setup clean it works.
A docent of other users proved it.
Read again and if you dont find the problem add me on skype.

Hey guys, I downloaded the tools and am trying to get setup with modding. I'm having the same problem a lot of people are having. When I start Noggit, it opens and then closes immediately. I "think" I've tried to follow the steps listed by Steff in part 2. Here's what I have so far:
1) I've gone into D:WoWModdingToolsDriveLetter (I have everything installed on my D: drive), opened the D folder, copied the containing Tools folder and pasted it into
D:WoWModding (overwriting when prompted)
2) I copied the client files from my WoW folder (3.3.5a, Not the whole folder, just the containing WoW files) into:
D:WoWModdingClient335aNoggit and
D:WoWModdingClient335aTest
3) here is the contents of my noggit.conf file (which is found in D:WoWModdingToolsNoggitSDL)
#This is a config file template. To use it rename into noggit.conf and set your options
#Edit this to your WoWFile!!!
Path = D:WoWModdingClient335aNoggit
#Edit this to your Project-Directory and uncomment if you want to use it!
ProjectPath = D:WoWModdingProjectsTutorialProjectpatch
#Set this to the file where you will import models from (the model viewer log for example :) )
ImportFile = D:WoWModdingToolsWoWModelViewer7userSettingslog.txt
#The far clipping value. Set to 2048, 3072, 4096 etc. for a further look. Higher values need more 3d power.
#1024 is the standard value and will be taken if you do not set this value.
FarZ=2048
Again, I THINK I have the files setup correctly, but Noggit just closes on start up.
A couple of things I'm thinking:
1) I also have a retailed version of WoW installed on my pc (is it messing me up because my registry is stating my WoW files are elsewhere?). Keep in mind, during this whole process I am not touching the retail WoW folder at all.
2) I am using a no install version of 3.3.5a WoW client as my wow files to copy. Is this causing me a problem because it's not an actual install?
3) my noggit.conf could be in the wrong place or it's configured wrong (again I think I have that setup right, but let me know if the above info is wrong!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great post !
One of the less who spend some time in this :)
Please add the missing logfile on pastbin.

I see from the errors that I obviously did something wrong lol. Was I supposed to get the MPQ files setup before I start the program? I was trying to follow the guide in order as best as I could. But of course, Operator error strikes again (me being the operator lol).
So lay it on me! Where did I screw up? :)
-
Two possible reasons.
1. The wow folder is read only set.
2. You user has not full ntfs rights for all files
Inthink itnis second. Take over ownership in settings tab. And then oberwrite the folder security that your user has full access to the files.
If you don't get it to work we will have a teamviewer session next days.
-
Thanks so much! That would make sense. I'm at work right now, but when I
Get home in the morning I'll check it out and post here with my results.

No problem. Happy modding :)

Hello!
I seemed to be having the same issues as Jermanfu. I followed the troubleshooting you took him through, and Noggit still crashes upon startup. What do you recommend I do?

Posting your Crash Log would help us finding a Solution for it.

1. Read the How to post thread in noggit board
2. Open a post there with needed informations.

When I open WoW MV I get Version Mismatch error and Noggit closes up on start also I made sure I put the Drive letter tool folder in the correct place multiple times can someone help me? Also I want to add that the Config file for WoW MV resets the Path=E :\ to Path=C :\ everytime.
-
And what did you exactly with the tools folder?
-
I replaced the Tools Folder in WoW Modding for the Tools folder inside the drive letter folder
-
Noggit logfile and config file
-
Update the pack with myDBCEditor definitions.
-
It just started working for no reason XD. This happened once with and old WoW I never thought it would happen again.
Thank you very much for the help but as you can see it's solved
-
I still have a problem. Noggit crashes instantly when i open it. In the log, it was written that the software could not open the mpq archives. So i ve tried a lot of things to solve the problem, and now noggit doesn't find at all the local directory while i ve set the path correctly. My noogit.conf :
#This is a config file template. To use it rename into noggit.conf and set your options
#Edit this to your WoWFile!!!
Path = C:WoWModdingClient335aNoggit
#Edit this to your Project-Directory and uncomment if you want to use it!
ProjectPath = C:WoWModdingProjectsProject1
#Set this to the file where you will import models from (the model viewer log for example :) )
ImportFile = C:WoWModdingToolsWoWModelViewer7userSettingslog.txt
#The far clipping value. Set to 2048, 3072, 4096 etc. for a further look. Higher values need more 3d power.
#1024 is the standard value and will be taken if you do not set this value.

I ve checked the path many times. Noggit SDL is in a folder in the local directory of wow. Now here is my log :

If you have an idea of my problem... i m desesperated to find a solution of my own.
-
Noggit is a folder in the local Directory of wow?
You run in admin mode?
Why?
Check read only property of the 2 wow folders.
-
also, there is no icon on the .exe while i ve seen one on other config.
i ve checked my properties but my log still say this

Image of expanded client folder Noggit.
Did you check the rights on the folder. Reset owner to your account and over write the permissions.
-
I ve done it but it changed nothing :( noggit still doesn t open the archives. I ve checked path, properties and rigths now.
EDIT : It works right now. I didn t set well the read only (i think i forgot to apply or something like that). Thank you for the help ! I would nerver find on my own !
-
this may be an old topic but im new to this......and im stuck at the moment......i followed EXACTLY to get the last letter and doesnt work......it said clean wow 335 so i grabbed a fresh clean wow 335. Placed them in both clientfile and test. Then i tried NoggitSDL closed on start up. Followed what you said on the permissions and the read only stuff STILL nothing. Keeps closing on startup.....but wow model viewer works fine.
This is the log if it helps

It's seems that your wow installation has no locale directory. That must be something like C:World of WarcraftDataenGB or C:World of WarcraftDatadeDE
-
Did you copy the WOW client folder DATA to C:WoWModdingClient335aNoggit
Not the wow folder!
So you have C:WoWModdingClient335aNoggitWoW.exe

When I try to extract the MPQs about halfway through the extraction it just stops on a file and doesn't continue and my entire computer just slows down and Windows Explorer crashes. Am I missing something like a required software?
-
no. normaly it works fine.. if it happens again perhaps try a newer version to extract.
perhaps the mpqs are demaged also turn of anti virus during extraction.
-
A newer version as in a newer version of WoW? And if the MPQs are corrupt, could it be because I obtained this version of 3.3.5a from somewhere on the internet?
-
a newer version of mpq editor. the app to extract the mpqs.
and yes. sadly there are many corrupted wow versions wotlk out there.
-
Ahh okay! Thank you, I'll try downloading a newer version. If it is that my MPQs are corrupt, is there anywhere you know of that I can get some clean ones?
-
I know this is an old thread but I really wanted to thank you for the entire tutorial. I know it took a lot of effort! Thank you very much :D
-
First time opening the MPQ Editor and it want me to set it's options. You haven't explained what to set these to, could you tell me?
-
Leaving basic settings is just fine.
-
:( I did what the tutorial said, but my noggit does not show my my test maps :/
Whwat can i do, to fix that?
lg
wimpel
-
1. Make sure Noggit knows about your map. It has to be set in map.dbc and it has to be set properly there.
2. Make sure Noggit reads your map.dbc - either put it into MPQs which are being readen by Noggit, or into DBFilesClient folder in your Noggit project's folder.
3. Note that DBCs in DBFilesClient folder of your Noggit's project folder overwrite DBCs in MPQs. So make sure your map.dbc isn't being overwritten by some outdated version of it.
4. Your map has to have WDT file. Make sure you have your WDT file and that Noggit can fnd it (if it can't, it lets you know about that in log.txt).
I'll make video tutorial about making new custom maps pretty soon on my YT, so if you won't be able to solve this on your own, you can take a look there when this video is finished and released.
EDIT: Video released.:

:D nice i' already subbed you :D thanks i am gonna atch it ^^
-
XD i found out my problem i guess ...
My Noggit log file says:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
740 - (Noggit.cpp:257): Game path: C:WoWModdingClient335aNoggitWorld of Warcraft
740 - (Noggit.cpp:261): Project path: C:WoWModdingClient335aNoggitWorld of Warcraft
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But my Config file says:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Edit this to your WoWFile!!!
Path = C:WoWModdingClient335aNoggit
#Edit this to your Project-Directory and uncomment if you want to use it!
ProjectPath = C:WoWModdingProjectsTutorialProjectpatch
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So how can i fix this? :/
-
Is your config file really named noggit with .conf extension? And is it in Noggit's folder? Like... I know it sounds dumb, but thats the only possible explanation, that you have moved conf elsewhere or that you have renamed it/you have downloaded Noggit with renamed conf file.
-
yap i know, but its called noggit.conf ^^ i tried that fist, but i had it already changed ^^
-
How about hosting the file in the first post somewhere that you can actually get it and not get a virus?
-
I can't get the toolbox download to install, it keep bringing up the window asking me to download chromium and some other stuff and when I decline it brings up the adobe flash player installer but nothing happens.
-
what is the password of the wowmodding.zip file ?
