It doesnt work: there are no options in neither "Select a version" or "Select a version list", and when you press "Generate" it just gives the "picture not available" sign.

then again the essence is: just look at the minima's. or just try. you could have been finished by just trying a day ago

But I still need some help with a similar task. Replacing Gilneas is quite easy, since the adt allocation is basically same. Now I want to replace the world-map Stratholme and its outskirts with those from the Culling of Stratholme instance, and now it gets much more complicated, since adts are different. What should I do?

Its not exactly that, they also are different in size..
You can see what I mean if you go to http://marlamin.com/minimaps/adtgrid.php (http://marlamin.com/minimaps/adtgrid.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) open the "Azeroth" map and find Stratholme, and then open the "StratholmCOT" map and compare.

Yeah, but my serv is Cata so I'd have to then upconvert it all... such a pain

Post by: schlumpf on November 08, 2015, 05:31:32 pm: the size is irrelevant as long as the target map already had that tile

Post by: Смердокрыл on November 08, 2015, 10:30:12 pm: I tried replacing Hillsbrad foothills with the COT version and Tyr's hand with the version from DK starting quests. Result: weird ground textures, many buildings missing, crashes time to time.

Post by: Смердокрыл on November 11, 2015, 11:02:17 pm: Btw, I didnt do any changes to the wdt/wdl files. Is this whats causing the problem? If so, what should I do?
Title: Re: [QUESTION] Swap areas
Post by: Смердокрыл on November 13, 2015, 10:36:40 am: I guess the reason is that I didnt update the wdt. But when I try to, and open Azeroth.wdt via Taliis, there are just no tick boxes or anything. And "Scan folder" doesnt do anything as well.
Title: Re: [QUESTION] Swap areas
Post by: Amaroth on November 13, 2015, 02:07:14 pm: Use GruulMeWDT rather than Taliis for editing WDTs, but I can't see reason why would WDT somehow affect textures on ADTs.

EDIT: I didn't say GruulMeWDT will fix your problem. Problems you have have nothing to do with WDT. This was just a note, I don't know how to help you.

I tried using GruulMe to update the wdt, but the game still crashes.
