[guide] how to make programmer island working (EASY!)

[haar]

Do not listen to all those n00bs that yells "you need mangos to run that !!". It's a false statement. First of all, mangos sucks (LOL!). And by the way any emulator (a good one, obviously can handle the World of Warcraft Data files. There are no "special patches" or similar things required to load a bunch of world map

Mangos is tbh real good, never used it, but I still know it's good. They are better then ascent in some ways.

[azeon]

mangos is quite good but i like ascent more

I have this working in Ascent 4552. I got the file (patch-4.MPQ) from a different post. No idea if there are any differences between the two files, but I can't post the link because the mmowned won't let me (wow cool! oh well). However I can tell you that the other post is on the Ragezone forum and has the title "[Easy-Guide] How to Make Programmer Island [Tested, Working]", by 1337Equillbrium.

The worldmap_info table in the world database already contained the following information for the zone (so I didn't edit the db):

451,451,0,0,1,16304.2,16318.1,69.44,0,Programmer Island,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,80,0

If you open up the patch-4.MPQ file (in an MPQ editor) you can see that it does indeed contain the missing file development.wdt/wtl(?) file that comes up when the error happens.

Also, here are some worldport locations for programmer island:

.worldport 451 16821.541016 16792.458984 76.315704
.worldport 451 16052.050781 16269.503906 69.442795
.worldport 451 16815.039063 16304.074219 104.312294
.worldport 451 15915.363281 16751.501953 18.618692
.worldport 451 16292.839844 16796.529297 75.538696
.worldport 451 16621.625000 16822.603516 21.283001

Designer island:
.worldport 451 16070.433594 -16831.496094 91.084358

Finally, as stated MANY times in this thread, the the file must have the extension in CAPS as follows: patch-4.MPQ .

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that your users can't get there unless they also have patch-4.MPQ as well.

"in database:

go to you database (i use navicat) and go to worldportmap_info table.
add a new line and type in the entery and screenid "451" and make the area_name programmer island. the rest just copy from the line above."

Ok i dont understand what you mean .. I have a ascent server and i dont know wich one to edit or anywhat? Can you do a noob step by step please?

Like 1pen <DIr>
2pen Exepmle.test
3:find worldportmap_info ?

It would help alot of persons.

[azeon]

add this to your database:

INSERT INTO `worldmap_info` VALUES ('451', '451', '0', '100', '1', '0', '0', '0', '0', 'programmer island', '3', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '0', '100', '0');

Using ascent server Repack 7.8 with patch 2.4.3 anyone who resolves my problem gets +Rep :P

[azeon]

in the worldmap_info table make type: 451 and flags: 1
that should fix it

I added the files back to the common.mpq file and am reextracting the maps for ascent... I'll see what happens *fingers crossed*

EDIT: no luck... even adding the file to the original mpq doesn't solve why the client can't find the map... extracting the maps didn't help after adding it either. =/
