Introducing
In the last tutorial we have created a new test03 map. During the modding process you need to expand maps quite often.
So we will cover this task now. We need to do the following
1. Create new ADTs somewhere on the map. Best connected to the existing ones.
2. Update the WDT file.
Create New ADTs
>> Open the following folder
F:WoWModdingToolsADTAdder
>> Open the ADTAdder.exe
>> Press the Browse button and select the file template_0_0.adt from the same directory.
>> Enter the name test03 for map name
>> Enter the coords 29 and 27 in the fields from ADT
>> Enter the coords 33 and 28 in the fields to ADT
>> Press Start creation
>> Now wait till the adder has created all the files. Just have a look in the application folder if test03_33_28.adt is there.
>> Run the fix.bat script with double click to fix coords of all ADT's.
>> Copy the new created ADT files to your map folder.

Update the WDT file
>> Open Taliis from
F:WoWModdingToolsTaliisTaliis.jar
>> MENU > File > Open
F:WoWModdingProjectsTutorialProjectpatchworldmapstest03 test03.wdt
>> MENU > Edit > Scan folder
>> Select once another node in the WDL tree and then reselect the main node. Now you should see the old and the new added ADT's marked on the map.
>> MENU > Edit > Save the file again with the same path. Take care not to forget the .wdt at the end!

Now open noggit. You should have the new space on your map.
