[QUESTION] Porting over World Map Images to any version

[TheRealDavidTwo]

You know how we have a map for every zone in World of Warcraft (including dungeons now)? I wanted to know how I can port over those maps to 4.0.6a, in particular dungeon maps for some of the TBC instances that were added around 4.1.0, such as Karazhan, the CoT dungeons, Sunwell, etc.

[Alastor]

I was never doing that but try to have a look on those

http://www.wowdev.wiki/index.php?title=WorldMapArea.dbc
http://www.wowdev.wiki/index.php?title=WorldMapContinent.dbc
http://www.wowdev.wiki/index.php?title=WorldMapOverlay.dbc
and some other DBCs about Worldmap idc look at Anthony's patch that is converting cata/panda to wotlk he have whole world map for instances/zones/etc...
From his patches (Patch-4,5,6,7) its Patch-4

Oh yeah, I figured it out before that. Thanks anyways.

I'm trying to get the Karazhan map to work in 4.0.6a, but I can't seem to do so. I think it's because Karazhan technically has more than one 'map' persay (because of how big it is), but.. Hrm I don't know. Right now, this is all I'm getting: http://i.imgur.com/c0JTOBp.jpg

Mostly same for any other instance that would technically have more 'maps' because of how huge they are. I figured out how to do it, and it seems to be working for areas that would have one single map (Like Old Hillsbrad; http://i.imgur.com/QxcHgFB.jpg). But.. hrm. Could use some help with this.

Maps like karazhan need maps based on DungeonMaps.dbc. Client versions not having that DBC just can't have multiple layers on one map id.

[TheRealDavidTwo]

Hrm.. thanks, I'll take a look.

Alright, well I did exactly that. It's now loading the maps, but for Karazhan, it's still being defaulted to the 'custom' map (http://i.imgur.com/sOX8gTl.png) and doesn't load the maps whenever I enter the targeted area, etc. (As well as Magtheridon's Lair, which shows the custom map again, and you have to select the "Area 1" map (which your icon wouldn't be shown on)

This seems to be the problem as well for Sunwell (I can see the first map of the 'Sunwell' instance (http://i.imgur.com/ul0NfZm.png), but entering the actual Sunwell "well" area, it doesn't load up the second map)

EDIT/UPDATE: Well, I figured out I had to edit the DungeonMapChunk,dbc in order to get it to work. Thanks for your help everyone.
