Title: [SOLVED][Question] Problem with a custom continent
Post by: ferreon on May 13, 2012, 10:17:58 pm: First sorry my english.

I did a Continent, i modified Map.dbc and i put it in DBC in DBFilesClient of my wow file and i put the file "Gratis" (name of my continent) in WorldMaps (in my wow file), I try it but... WoW Error...Here some imgs.

Some aclarations

-In the "gratis" folder there are 9 adts and 1 wdt

-map.dbc is modified and its in DBC (server file) and DBFilesClient (wow file)

-The file Gratis is in WorldMapsGratis

-I think i have to do a custom patch but what files have i to put in? And in which rute?

(Explain me for example: WorldMapsGratisGratis_xx_xx-adt)

PD: I tried with a Map.dbc blizz (without the custom lines of other server) but wow error too.
PD2: I tried with a custom patch (WorldMapsGratisgratis_xx_xx-adt) but no....

Help me please, step to step, im noob and spanish too xD

Thanks for your time :D

There should be a tutorial on how to create it correct if you have trouble doing it.

If you have everything correct with the position of the files and the error still occurs on you have a mistake in your files.

ok, i have to do this in the custom patch? (sorry but my english is very bad :P)

DBFilesClientMap.dbc
WorldMapsgratisgratis_xx_xx.adt (all the 9 adts that i have)
And the Wdt, in which rute?

Post by: ferreon on May 14, 2012, 03:02:08 pm: It doesn`t work with custom patch (Wow error). Here some imgs:

Map.dbc version is 3.3.5a and wow is in 3.3.5a too (I extract map.dbc to 3.3.5a version)

Where's the problem :S

Thanks

PD: I think offsetfix dont work correctly, is correct this image? Is an example of adt

(http://i49.tinypic.com/2cn79qs.png)

The file Adt Adder

(http://i49.tinypic.com/2z8dlxz.png)

Im in Windows 7, probably i have to execute like administrator but i dont know how to put the adt in offsetfix and ejecute like administrator.

probably i have to put this option?

(http://i47.tinypic.com/xc5aua.png)

I try with the last option (ejecute this program like admin) but dont work, and with compatibility mode windows Xp (service pack 3) and dont work

Thanks for your time and help

Post by: Eluo on May 14, 2012, 03:51:03 pm: The adts should be okay.

There could be two sources of problems:

1.) When you created the adts in adt adder, did you give them a basic alpha layer (=texture)?
2.) With what program did you create the wdt?

Btw: thanks for so much information ;)

1) I created a gratis_01_01.adt with taliis and i put textures; in noggit i can see the textures, see it in the img. (I can see the textures in the 9 adts, the textures that i put in taliis to gratis_01_01.adt)

2) I created the WDT in taliis

(http://i48.tinypic.com/21mxkqa.png)

Textures in my 9 adts... i think if i can see it in noggit, i should see it in game

PD: Is strange... i can't open my adts with taliis but the textures are in, as you can see in the noggit photo.

Thanks¡

Post by: Hanfer on May 14, 2012, 05:52:05 pm: ok, that u cant open adts with tallis is normal since tallis is outdated...

then try to replace your adts with some from here viewtopic.php?f=59&t=717 (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=717" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) then offsetfix if nessary and rename just to be sure u have got proper files

then use viewtopic.php?f=59&t=795 (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=795" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) (version 3.2) to create the mpqs (in general mywarcraft studio should work too, but just to be sure)

While we wait a new link... where are the problem in my f*** continent?

Thanks

PD: In the patch, have to be, my 9 adts and the wdt only no? or map.dbc too?
[Map.dbc is in Wow file (DBFilesClient) and in DBC server file, its necesary put it in custom patch (DBFilesClientMap.dbc)]

(http://i49.tinypic.com/dlj9le.png)

I tried with this and wow error too :/

Thanks.
