[SOLVED] How to make a place an instance

[Noven]

Basically I was wondering how I can make an custom instance, for example, I want to make orgrimmar an instance just like molten core or something, just making it instance. If I am right it's something to do with the dbc files right?

I'm assuming it should have something to do with Map.dbc, since basically you can change the type of other places through Map.dbc. I believe there's more to it though. I've made a new continent (map) before, but I've never tried to edit and convert an existing place to an instance. If I knew the way, I'd write it out. Only things I've done (editing existing places wise) is make Deadmines an OutdoorPvP area, Alterac Valley a non-battleground.

Note, making orgrimmar an instance makes the whole map an instance..
Depending on how you approach this problem..

Yeah, that's what I'm confused about - as to how he wants to do it.

Making Durotar a whole instance?

If you use the normal instance mechanic used for instances the whole map will be an instance.
The whole continent.
Thunderbluff and darkshore and everything.

Yes everything would be instanced that had the same map id.

However you could create a custom map and add the orgrimmar tilesets to it(found in patch files) tho can't help you with it since i have no experience in that department at all.

Aha, well I was actually thinking about just ripping some parts of a zone and make it is an instance, like eternion wow, they had some part of places made as an instance, that's basically what I want to achieve, and I want to learn how I will go forward doing this.

^^ exactly as he has said. I too am trying to learn how to do this. once i have a working patch of a new map ill try to make u a tutorial. i just cant get noggit to work on this pc. my gfx card is shit and well it lags like a motherfucker...

Either way... go to AreaTable.dbc and create your own Table with randoms name and make sure ID is match map.dbc number..

then If you have Noggit. then click on Area and put Area Table on the map in orgrimmar area. simple easy.

If not work then you have to make own map by noggit and go to Modelviewer and type orgrimmar and put it in map.
