How to get player map id ?
i havn't see a function for that in LUA fuction.

[schlumpf]

dword_10A69A0 (3.0.9), dword_11CD010 (3.1.0) is the ID in Map.dbc.

Nice schlumpf.
Does anyone have the offset for continentid/name? (Northrend, Azeroth and Outlands)
Couldn't find it while playing around in OllyDbg.

API SetMapToCurrentZone - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
API GetCurrentMapContinent - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

Haven't looked at it, but they sound promising.

miceiken: You can get those by taking the ID given and reading the map.DBC. Or you may use this:
01286820 (3.0.9), 005390D4 (3.1.0) should hold the string for the currently used map.

I know there is a difference between continent and map, but the continents only exist on the worldmap. Its all map.dbc.
Being on continent 4 is nothing but being on map 571, which is linked in WorldMapContinent.dbc.

Additionally there is a continentID and zoneID at 00FCA56C - 00FCA570 (3.0.9), 00A3A9DC - 00A3A9E0 (3.1.0).

Yeah, thanks - I was hoping for a string version of it, I guess I'll just have to make my own function to output it

No ?

01286820 (3.0.9), 005390D4 (3.1.0) should hold the string for the currently used map.

No ?

Yes, I thought that was map and not continent, sorry.

as schlumpf says,
mapID is enough for continent id.

if you need to see whats in (pre expansion) map.dbc look at DBFilesClient\Map.dbc - WoWDev

eg. (and don't quote me on this)
kalmidor mapid = 1, continentid = 0
eastern kingodoms mapid = 0, continentid = 1
outlands mapid = 530, continentid = 2
northrend mapid = 571, continentid = -2 ??

and continentID seems to default to -1 before you have one selected.

[schlumpf]

northrend mapid = 571, continentid = -2 ??

Its 3.

[miceiken]

northrend mapid = 571, continentid = -2 ??

Its 3.

I had it return -2 in northrend aswell however
Thanks anyway.
