[SOLVED] Can't create a new map
« on: May 20, 2012, 10:56:36 am »
Hi there!

I'm trying to create a new map for a new continent. I use that tutorial.

I'll show step by step what I do. I think there is just a little mistake.

First I open Taliis and creat a new wdt

I call the new wdt 'tear'. I tick as many space as I need, for that 10x10, for the real project I'll need much more.  I notice the points 3_3 and 13_13 for ADT adder later.



I save it as 'tear.wdt'



After that I create a new file, an adt called tear



I add a texture with the text 'tilesetelwynnelwynngrassbase.blp'



Then I save the adt as 'tear_01_01.adt'.

I open ADT adder. I chose the adt I made before and type everything in (Look at the screen) then I create the maps.



Now I have the adt in the ADT adder folder. I'm not that sure what to do next. Do I have to fix them with the 'offsetfix.bat' file, which  I have to create, in that folder or in an other?


I just want to find every mistake so I ask you now, after I know it exactly I'll go on.

Have your Taliis version a Menu point

Edit > Scan folder.

There are Taliis versions out there where WDT creation is jsut bugged.
You should also never check the adts by hand but use the Edit > Scan Folder function!
Did you use offsetfix after you copied the adts?
Just use a CMD bat file to fix them

@echo off
for %%i in (*.adt) do OffsetFix.exe "%%i"
pause

Paste in a txt file and rename o .bat or .cmd and run this in the same folder as offsetfix and your adts are.

Then create a folder patch on your hd
Subfodler world
subfloder maps
subfolder tear

and put all your ADTs and the wdt file there.

worldMapstearFILES

Now you need to get teh latest version of the Map.DBC file and add an new entry for your map. Name tier and a new height ID. Just copy an existing line like Azeroth and rename it. use MyDBCEditor and rightclikc copy line to.

Now you can point your noggit project dir to the patch folder

d:wowmoddingprojectstierpatch

Its an example and dont forget the last

Now you should see your map inside of noggits menu.
