Title: Custom Map Area & Zone ID "unknown"
Post by: spiderwaseem on January 27, 2019, 08:19:09 pm

Hi everyone.

I'm working on a new map made on Noggit. My goal is to have everything for the map's coordinates working properly. Everything is fine except for my Zone ID & Area ID. Even though I've added them in AreaTable.dbc & Map.dbc and painted them in on the map on Noggit, the ID itself still shows as 0 and "unknown" as shown below:

What's weird is that the Area/Zone name is still appearing when I enter different parts painted on to the map. So it's apparently semi-working. But the IDs appear as 0.

Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Deathorous.

The server doesn’t know about it if it doesn’t have the dbcs and ADTs/„maps“ generated/„extracted“.

I have extracted the latest mmaps, maps, vmaps, dbcs and cameras with the map included. Didn't seem to affect anything.

Fixed! Thank you.
It turned out to be the way I extracted maps/vmaps. I had to put them into patch-3.mpq & patch-enUS-3.mpq instead of having custom MPQs.
