[Tyrvana]

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.

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 So make sure your map.dbc isn't being overwritten by some outdated version of it.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.:

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.

[wimpel]

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.
