if there is a way to modify the whole CASC system and include a custom root, modding can be possible. Saddly, modifying the CAS System isn't a thing i can do for the moment, too complicated.

did you know you have to add the SFID chunk in the end of the m2 ? The SFID chunk depends of the number of skins you have (1 to 4) and point to filedata id for each skin You can't really add M2 in Legion, you can only swap.

Some news for you, i don't really understand what i'm even doing. When i move my wod World/map folder into Legion with custom map... it's strange. Some Maps works successfully, like the development_nonweighted converted from 3.3.5 Kalidar from the alpha 0.5.3 converted for wod work, but there are no visible m2/wmo on the map, but there are collisions at their place. Designer island and other various custom map create 132 errors So it's not needed to rewrite obj1 with a specific format, i just try to understand how to remove the 132 error and what can be the cause of this.

i've found nothing, except for the WDL non referenced on the wiki for the new chunks the Wiki has already referenced the structure, now the problem is to know what are theses values, probably the boundinbox of M2, i will check this out.

Another fucking post because copy/paste from excel is incredibly bad on this forum, and i can't write after this horrible table *sigh* AS i've understand MLDD Chunk is exactly the same chunk as MDDF, except the flags is set to 0x20 for this one (for the example ADT) MLMD Chunk is exactly the same chunk as MODF, without the 6 floats values (boudingbox) MLDX and MLMX contain both a CaaBox (6 floats, minX minY minZ and maxX maxY maxZ) and a float called the radius (just do : maxY - minY for having the value) This is now i need informations, MODF (WMO information) have bounding box value, it's not present in MLDX but it's present in MLMX, because theses two chunks are connected. But why the values aren't the same in MODF chunk bounding box in Obj0 and in the MLMX chunk in Obj1 Check out the results : MODF : minX : 14732 minY : 13536.4 minZ : 49.571 maxX : 14823.9 maxY : 13586.5 maxZ : 86.4528 MLMX : minX : 3480.17 minY : 2242.74 minZ : 49.571 maxX : 3530.22 maxY : 2334.67 maxZ : 86.4528 Radius : 91.9209 (if you did maxY - minY, you get this value too) You can clearly see that both Z values are the same in the different chunk but X and Y are different. Why it's different ? My second question is about the MLDD and the MLDX chunk (related about M2) Why does MLDX exist, if MDDF chunk doesn't have boundingbox information ? What are the values in MLDX then ? Can we fullfile MLDX with random values ? Now i need your help for this, i don't understand how to fullfile the MLDX and MLMX chunk. And did i have to edit the main ADT and the thex 0 files ? Please community, prove me you can be helpful and i will provide a program and informations about Legion.

Basically we have 4 files : The Main ADT OBJ0 OBJ1 TEX0 For this part, i've only checked the Wowdev wiki : https://wowdev.wiki/ADT/v18 We can see a lot of new chunk added in Legion, half of them is used in the LOD file, the other part is used in OBJ1 I've also checked OBJ0 and it have no change. i didn't checked for the main ADT and Tex0, but i think it didn't have changed I need your help for this part in particular, does ADT Tex0 change in legion ? New chunk, deleted chunk ? Change of values ? Anyway... the main change in legion remain for the OBJ1. Basically, on Wod mapping, the obj0 and the obj1 are the same file but with a different name In legion, the obj1 should have his own structure, this is what we need to for it. Here are the result of what i've found Adt : TrollRaid2_27_25 Obj0 Obj1 REVM 4 REVM 4 XDMM 3626 XDMM 3626 DIMM 220 DIMM 220 OMWM 829 OMWM 829 DIWM 48 DIWM 48 FDDM 19620 DDLM 19620 FDOM 1984 XDLM 15260 KNCM/DRCM/WRCM 8692 DMLM 1240 XMLM 868 the 5 first chunk are the same, with the same values, but after there are differents chunks for the obj1, actually this is 4 new chunk : MLDD MLDX MLMD and MLMX According to the wiki and with my personnal test : MLDD M2 MLDX CaaBox/Float for M2 MLMD WMO MLMX CaaBox/Float for WMO

Hello everyone, i'm making this thread, hoping i can get help from this community, and it's about going forward in Legion modding. > lol rangorn u always brag but you didn't do anything, blablablabla *SJW tears* Stfu dude, tell me what is that then ? ANYWAY ! the project is about to update WdtSupplies and make it compatible with Legion. > Create mapping in noggit with 3.3.5 client > Use Anthony adt converter for adt in cata/mop format > Using WdtSupplies for making it compatible with Legion Legion ADTs format have changed with legion, so WoD mapping aren't working in it, you will get 132 errors. Let's get in Since few expansions, the main files for each map are theses : WDT : Defines property of the map (https://wowdev.wiki/WDT ) WDL : Define the low-resolution heightmap of the map ( https://wowdev.wiki/WDL/v18 ) TEX : Low-Resolution texturing for the map ( https://wowdev.wiki/TEX/v0 ) _LGT.WDT : Lighting for the map ( https://wowdev.wiki/WDT#occ.2C_lgt ) _OCC.WDT : Occlusion for the map ( https://wowdev.wiki/WDT#occ.2C_lgt ) And of course for one ADT : ADT_XX_YY : The main adt file ADT_XX_YY_obj0 : Objects informations of the ADT ADT_XX_YY_obj1 : Objects informations of the ADT ADT_XX_YY_tex0 : Textures informations of the ADT ADT_XX_YY_tex1 : Textures informations of the ADT NEW WITH LEGION : ADT_XX_YY_lod : Probably low resolution of ADT, didn't really checked this The principal change in legion, it's the removal of tex1, and adding _lod instead. As i've understand, _lod are not needed, old maps doesn't have a _lod, but _tex1 is removed for all maps. So, the first thing to understand, is to know what file is necessary, and if not, can it have a minimal structure ? Here are two example of maps with not much content : No ADT One ADT As we can see on the first screenshoot, Tex and _lgt and _occ wdt are necessary, but they have a minimal structure (chunk name, chunk size, and a lot of 00 depending on the chunk size) So let's skip theses 3 files for the moment, and let's see about WDT and WDL -WDT : There are absolutely no change in WDT, except 2 thing : - Flags is different for maps, because new expansion - MWMO empty chunk (if the map is not a WMO Map) isn't present in WDTs Nothing to do with, perhaps deleting the WMO chunk manually if the wdt have one -WDL : The body is the same, One huge MAOF chunk (16384 bytes) and a MARE chunk (1080 bytes) / MAHO chunk (32 bytes) for each ADT in the map BUT Header have changed a lot With the minimal structure, old header look like this MVER (4bytes) : 18 MWMO : 0 MWID : 0 MODF : 0 Now the header look like this : MVER (4bytes) : 18 MLDD : 0 MLDX : 0 MLMD : 0 MLXM : 0 Theses new chunk are familiar because they are located in adt too SO ! For the moment : Only WDL files need modification, now let's see for the ADTs files in the next post !

It's inspiration, not stealing.

It's not pointless, it's about stealing the work of something else Blizzard stole ideas from nordic mythology, Tolkien, other various legends or history, it's not stealing the work of somebody. Modders don't steal blizzard contents too... we just modify or add new elements to the game, it's totally not stealing. BUT, when you stole the content of another modder, you can say it's stealing.

I've started with Bc/wotlk for modding, it isn't an excuse for staying on prehistoric content Barncastle and Luzifix are doing great work i agree, WoWdev guys aren't people from here, and they are doing amazing work too. Ohai, it's not about money, it's more about stealing ideas etc...

Haha, hilarious answers here ! Like Chase said, i consider myself more like an explorer of modding, i'm not the kind of guy making a 3.3.5 mapping project based on Lordaeron, or creating new class or whatever, i want to explore the very last version of wow and searching for what we can do or not. For wungasaurus (the top picture is for you), for my part, i often read the wiki, and sometimes i contribute (mostly db5 structures, i can't really respect the strict C format for chunk and things like that + bad english), for the rest, you must understand guys, i have my own server with 100 players+, i'm not a isolated modder like the majority here, and i don't want to see other server using my own "technology" against me. It's funny because people begging for help don't understand this concept lmao, it's the same thing for Chase with Parangon. I always share what i know with Chase, because we have the same interrest and no concurence between us (Parangon is international RP, mine is for french community), because we are both curious about modding on legion, i share with Raeef too because he is interrested with modding legion and he is a cool guy which always give something in back (even when i don't want haha) Why i don't share with the rest of Mc.net ? You clearly prefer to stay on 3.3.5,you are lazy, you always say "i prefer to stay on wotlk because it' easy, shame on you, you don't explain how to mod on legion blablablablabla....". i only help valorous people chosen by Odyn himself.

Server is unstable ? False, false and false. Legion is very stable.

WoD is a bad idea, many CASC errors because builds aren't supported now

and ? Works for me

https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/blob/3.3.5/src/server/game/Entities/Player/Player.cpp#L635 https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/blob/3.3.5/src/server/game/Entities/Player/Player.cpp#L1655 Delete lines related to ValidateAppearance and recompile ur core

i didn't understand all, but when you are talking about numbers in theses db files, there are FiledataIds FiledataIds aren't define in a wow file, but directly in the root file (in the casc system) Parse the root file and you have all the path name for each id

No

this is my jam #MerdeStorm

did you just fcking read what i've wrote ?

1) Download MPQEditor if you don't have it 2) Download the most fullfile listfile for the moment here : https://github.com/bloerwald/LegionFiles/archive/master.zip just take the listfile in this archive 3) Open MPQEditor, then load the encrypted MPQ 4) Click on Add ListFile, like this : 5) Then choose the listfile you just downloaded. 6) profit ! There is a chance, not all files be decrypted, this method only decrypt files with path/name existing in the listfile. Btw, you can search for other listfile on the web.
