I have a question about the extension of a file. The extension of the file is (.zmp), and i believe these files are related with worldmap in the interface, key "M". And my question is, ¿With which program could open these files?
Thanks.
-
They contain area ids with unknown purpose. Just ignore it, nobody ever needed it.
-
Worldmap is jsut DBC and BLP work.

ZMPs are used and get loaded and modify stuff. It is not all just DBCs.
-
Then, these files haven't function?
-
They do, but they are irrelevant to you.
-
You can give me a idea that dbcs are please?
-
AreaTable.dbc
WorldMapArea.dbc
WorldMapContinent.dbc
WorldMapOverlay.dbc
WorldMapTransforms.dbc
-
Thanks :)
-
You may want to set WorldMapArea.flags including 0b1000. That will explicitly disable .zmp file loading.
edit: Oh, wait, that's MoP / Cata only.
-
And a question more, which are the coordinates?
-
The ones of your map?
-
Then, the coordinates of my continent, I have them put in the WorldMapContinent.dbc, WorldMapOverlay.dbc, WorldMapTransforms.dbc?
-
Yes, you need to put the correct coordinates there.
-
Thanks very much :)
-
Post if you get the continent map overlay working. Still stuck there :)
-
Ok, but i'm having problems with the maps.
-
which problems?
Im learning with this post :P
-
Yea you should post more informations if we should help you :)

Hey guys,
As you have previously shown, I managed to get to the same extent as Steff, working map, with the pointer on a custom map.
What I want to try now is to edit the Azeroth map and add another island near the maelstrom, for example. And have an overlay on it and when clicked, have it take you to the map I already have...
I haven't really tried it yet. I did take a look when I first did my map but since you have to use the MapID, I was starting to think that it wasn't actually possible, until I thought to myself that Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor for example, are two different MapID entrys, so it MUST be possible...
I'll try it later today when I get home, and I'll post the results :P
-
It is my map works full from worldmap to overlays. with one problem.
The overlay of the reagion map on the continent map. There should be a hover effect that shows that there is a reagion. And click should get me there. But this dont work. Over the dropdown menus I can enter the map. And I am also in it if I press M and I am on the right AreaID on the map.
-
If you gets good results Soldan, please make a guide, im interesting in this themes pls :D
Which DBCs must i modified to integrate the map in a custom continent?
Thanks.
-
Yeah Steff, that's what I mean...
If I enter my custom zone and press M, it comes up, and it's exactly placed as the ADT is, like if I walk on a path ingame, on the map i'm on that same path.
Now I want to learn how to do what I said above, have it in the region map, and beable to click it and take it to your map, or even if you aren't on the map, let it show you it, the same as Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, Northrend, etc.
I'll post what I manage to get out of the research later.

Im not understand english at all, so if you can make a guide about how to integrate the map in a custom continent (that you get) i thank you, is a theme that i have to learn :D
Thanks and sorry my pronunciation :(
-
Hey boys, I added the map in the global interface (Where are Outland and Azeroth). And i solved the problems with the maps. Thanks all. :)

Can you do a guide pls :(
Thanks if you do it.
-
Yres some hints would be nice. And why add in the interface? Its just DBC work.

This image is a original image from internet, After I will attach a photo of my map.

if you clik on it, it work?
Its good

Of course :)

Ferreon, not all are guides, is good for you to investigate a lot, of course is more easy to read a guide and make it step by step, but if you investigate you can learn a lot and not only the exactly thing that you're looking.

I have some questions:
2º: Its necessary put blp files in MD5?
3: How find the coordinates that i have to put in the dbcs?
Thanks :D
-
Dess. what DBC's did you modify to make the Cosmic map take you to your custom one?
Also, how did you get the coords for the cosmic map, because I know how to get them for normal maps, but for Cosmic? O.o
-
Cosmic map is a hack in lua.
-
Ah, ok.
But, you see how the Cosmic Map and the Azeroth Map (Where you can select either kalimdor or eastern kingdoms) aren't any "continents", but contain them.
I want to make my current maps "more blizz" by having a part in the cosmic map (I've already modified the files)
As you can see here;

Now what I want to do, is if you click Neltharion, it takes you to another map (like the Azeroth one) where you can select the custom maps that I have already made:
(http://imagr.eu/up/4fbf58c261f812_WoWScrnShot_042212_124158.jpg)
(http://imagr.eu/up/4fbf58dc5b4675_WoWScrnShot_042812_131554.jpg)
The reason for this complication is because each of my maps is a custom continent, even if it's just 4 adts.
Any ideas?
-
Add a new worldmap, Palce the islands and link this worldmap to the cosmic.
-
Yeah, I have the idea, I just can't think how to link it to the cosmic map, or even create a new worldmap that doesn't define by a continent, but allows you to link various continents to it, like the azeroth/kalimdor map that lets you select either kalimdor or azeroth.
-
The ZMP file is need for mark the Overlayer, we need a tool for this file =/
-
I get everything to work but the continent overlay. Worldmap overlay is full DBC.
