doodas are m2 and should be scaled... good catch.

I 'think' i've solved my problem. Inside wowmappers adt_c.cpp class there is a method:

void Adt_c::GetDoodads(Meshes_t *meshes) {
   for (AdtDoodads_t::iterator doodad = doodads_.begin();
       doodad != doodads_.end();
       ++doodad) {
    const MddfChunk_s::DoodadInfo_s &info = *doodad->info;
    const M2_c *m2 = doodad->m2;

    // add new doodad
    meshes->push_back(Mesh_c());
    Mesh_c *mesh = &meshes->back();

    // if we have a skin we get the real mesh
    if(m2->skin.get() != NULL) {
      m2->GetMesh(*m2->skin, mesh);
    } else {
      m2->GetBVMesh(mesh);
    }

    // don't forget to readjust positions and rotations!
    static const float map_center = 17066.0f + (2.0f/3.0f);
    mesh->SetPositon(Vec3_t(info.pos.x-map_center, info.pos.y, info.pos.z-map_center));
    mesh->SetRotation(Vec3_t(-info.rot.x, info.rot.y-90, info.rot.z-90));
    mesh->SetScale(info.scale/1024.0f);
  }
}

That bottom line sets the scale for the loaded doodad. However the corresponding method in wowmappers mesh_c.cpp class was overriding the input float with 1.0f

void Mesh_c::SetScale(float scale) {
  scale_ = 1.0f;
}

I've changed the code to use the input float and now my maps look correct.

Is this the correct thing to do? I've had a look on wowdev but couldn't find any reference to doodad scaling.
Thanks

Very nice find, Fenix. I committed that fix to the repository and added you to the special thanks section on the front page of wowmapper. I don't know why I did that in my code, but thanks to you it's gone now . Here's the link to the paragraph for doodad scaling: ADT/v18 - WoW.Dev Wiki
Again thanks, and +rep to you.
