[RELEASE] Draenor Map (6.0.2) For WoW 3.3.5a

lol yep

ok so here is how I added the names for the mini map FROM WoD:
I extracted entry 962 from WoD WorldMapArea.dbc
Code:
962,1116,0,"Draenor",12242.34375,-10493.4384766,11193.0,-3964.1875,-1,0,0,
I left the map id '1116' rather than changing it to 900 for everything lol
and added the entry to WotlK WorldMapArea.dbc

then I extracted entry '13' from WoD WorldMapContinent.dbc
Code:
13,1116,0,0,0,0,0.0,0.0,1.0,-4771.0,-6276.0,11630.0,10120.0,0,
and added the entry to wotlk WorldMapContinent.dbc

I add as in your tut:
Code:
1116,"Draenor",0,8404573,1,"Draenor",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,0,"",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FC,"",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FC,360,1.0,0,0.0,0.0,-1,0x2,0x0,0x0,
to map.dbc leaving map id '1116' (WoD Draenor)

ok last but NOT least I extracted every entry that was bound to map '1116' in AreaTable.dbc
now WoD has less entry columns than WotlK so I used Excel to open my WotlK AreaTable.dbc and added the entries from WoD, then a little column adjusting and they were ready to add.
I added the modified WoD AreaTable entries in small bundles so I could eliminate any trouble entries. yea there was a few.

so with out any more time wasted here is the updated to WotlK entries for Draenor:
AreaTable.txt
just copy the entries and add them to the bottom of your AreaTable.dbc .


after modifying your WotlK dbc files , just add them to your DBFilesClient folder in your custom patch and poof now the name plate above the minimap will show names.

end product is WoD Draenor map with minimap and names :D

this doesn't fix the full maps tho . only the name and the circular map in the upper right corner .

if some one knows how to fix that , a tut would be perfect.

You should really post this in a new thread and tag it as a [Tutorial] , And maybe make a video of your text guide as well and post it with that. Because having it in my post may not actually be seen since most people don't run through forum pages, they only look at the first original post, maybe a second or third, then either take the content and leave or comment then leave.

Also repost this on other websites like that AirConditioner-web.org(not air conditioner but it is the name we do not speak of around these parts XD), modcraft, and maybe owned core. If you make a video, don't try to follow other people's formats, make it true to you. By this I mean if you're not a loud hyperactive person, don't do that in your videos like some people that aren't do, and their videos are intolerable.

Or if you aren't a person loves to talk and explain people's ears off( like I do ), don't do that and don't be so informative lol. Do what you feel, do what you like, and NEVER do what you hate others do. Like my pet peeve is someone who under explains stuff, it annoys me, they were a noob/beginner at one point but now they are this almighty guru, they seemed to have forgotten who their audience is. >.<

But do as you will.

lol yea my videos arenot the best either lol but I prefer to just make cheatsheets like this https://github.com/BlackWolfsDen/Maps/blob/master/Draenor/README.MD

do you have a tut for extracting maps from Cata and converting them to WotlK?

again thanx for all the info and help.

Not at the moment, I don't know if I'll ever be able to get around to covering that topic again. The converter I use is:

You gotta compile it in Visual Studio C++ 2012 or newer, Express will not compile it. Be prepared for a lot of trial and error and probably a lot of wow errors as well.
