hobowilly Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Go to the end of the table and see what ID is the latest. Memorize it. Select Azeroth or Kalimdor line by left clicking on it. Right click on the selected line and choose “Copy line to”. Enter a free ID here. (Last UID + 1). Rename the field “Azeroth” to your map name. The name your .adt files have. Enter the real name of your map instead of Eastern Kingdoms in your language. Click “File” and “Save”. Add your “Map.dbc” to the patch, project folder or client by the following path: “DBFilesClient\” I have followed all of the steps of a tutorial to make a custom map in noggit up until this point. How do I add "map.dbc" to a patch? what patch? How do i get this patch? How is this going to make it show up in noggit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobowilly Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 I just cant figure this out. What is wrong?? 27 - (application.cpp:213): Noggit Studio - 3.2614 28 - (application.cpp:237): Game path: "C:\Users\epicb\Desktop\World of Warcraft\World of Warcraft 3.3.5a\Data\enUS\" 28 - (application.cpp:242): Project path: C:\Users\epicb\Desktop\World of Warcraft\Wowmodding\Projects\NewAzeroth\world\maps\NewAzeroth\ 29 - (application.cpp:114): Locale: enUS And i cant place replace the old map.dbc in the patch with the new one because it says the mpq is locked or is unable to operate if on read only, which makes little sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wungasaurus Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 A patch refers to a MPQ file, which you can create for example with Ladik's MPQEditor. As long as it is in wow/data/patch-x.mpq where x is a letter or number, noggit will pick it up. Note that MPQ loading is ordered, so wow/data/patch-x.mpq's contents will be overwritten by wow/data/patch-y.mpq or wow/data/enus/patch-2-enus.mpq, where your map.dbc likely comes from, so in your case you probably want to put your patch into wow/data/enus/patch-high number-enus.mpq. The alternative is to have unpacked files in the project directory you specified noggit to use. Note that this will not show up ingame then. As for your second post, there are multiple wrong things: game path should not contain enus or data, iirc project path should not contain the path to your adits, only the root of the files, i.e. g\Projects\NewAzeroth\ in your case. The MPQ being locked likely comes from having a different editor, like noggit, or the game itself open. Closing it should make it writable.

Enter a free ID here. (Last UID + 1) Dnt do it. Because all DBC tables are checked by last line number on serverside. If you have files in folder "C:/Users/epicb/Desktop/World of Warcraft/World of Warcraft 3.3.5a\DBFilesClient", Noggit are rewrite all same DBC tables from MPQ . Rename or erase it all. Or For easy modding, make same path to Project and WoW destination . And use patched wow.exe. And be happy, without MPQ patches and client restart.

Minozop Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 First of, make sure that you have a "project folder". I have a folder called "Work" and inside that folder are: Data (my wow client for noggit) DBFilesClient (dbcs) Tileset (HD textures) Interface World (my custom maps) After you have that folder done, create a patch-X.mpq and import these folders above into the patch. Close the MPQ editor and put the patch inside your wow client DATA folder. Then go back to Noggit and go to Settings -> at the top you can choose Project Path and Game Path. In my case, I have both these set to my "Work" project folder. It works because I have copied the "data" folder from wow client folder. Next, close down Noggit and re-open it and your custom map should be visible. TIP: Make sure that DBFilesClient & World is still in your "project folder" as Noggit will read these to be able to show your custom map. Also, make sure that your custom made patch-x.mpq is in your "project folder" data folder too. So you have two patch-x.mpq, one in wow client folder and one in "project folder" data folder. Now your map should show, if you have already edited map.dbc and areatable.dbc (forgot the name). Any questions, just ask ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minozop Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Alright, so. Idk why you have two "world" folders in your "NewAzeroth" folder. Put the world folder in your patch-xx.mpq. Then create a new folder in your patch-xx.mpq called "DBFilesClient" and put all .dbc files in here. Also make sure you have a "DBFilesClient" folder in your "project folder" as well. Follow my quick guide here at the bottom. This should work for you as long as you have edited map.dbc and areatable.dbc with your custom map. Make sure both map.dbc and aretable.dbc is in the "DBFilesClient" folder in your patch-xx.mpq and projects folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
