Did you edit the server DBCs aswell?

Yes, of course :)

In your AreaTable.DBC, exploreFlags are 0.

When you are editing DBCs, take a look at the WIKI and make sure you're doing it right. (You can just google.com, type in your file.DBC and check the first link).

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;)

Check the fourth column. On Wiki it's called AreaBit, in DBC Editor it's called exploreFlags.

"Use new unique value when creating custom row for making maps work correctly. Max=4500"

Also, you must generate updated map data for the server. You must make sure that the map extractor is also targeting your custom map, as it needs to be in a specific directory for this to work. For me, I had to place the updated DBC's inside DataenUSpatch-enUS-4.mpq last time I checked.

This is why your area id's are showing as as Unknown. The server doesn't have the map data.

I believe I have already posted you answer.:

Extract maps while including your custom ADTs and DBCs, as it is described in this tutorial and update them on server side.

Just a detail: maxval is 4096 for Trinity Core. 128 values x 32bit

Makes sense, at least if there is no other factor than just max size of value type. Fixed.

It's what you can save atm in characters.exploredZones. It's a string that holds 128values each representing a 32 bit value.

May the wow.exe could support higher values for the flags. But than you have to modify the core too.
