Hello everyone.
I would like to start of by saying that i did NOT make this map extractor. I found it on an website while i was looking for cataclysm emulator projects.
So what this basicly does is to extract the cataclysm maps (Note that this is for Arcemu and does also work as maps for 3.3.3 i think, I don't know if it works for other emulators such as ManGOS and Trinity).
UPDATE: Version 2.0.0.0 is released. This one was edited by my firend I sent him the code and he said that we should add dbc extractor too and claim it as ours lol.
How to get it working.
1. Start with placing the ad.exe in your World of Warcraft Data folder
(normaly C:/Program files/World of Warcraft/Data)
2. Create a folder inside your World of Warcraft folder called "Maps"
(to use these maps for 3.3.3 rename the folder to "maps" after you've extracted your files.)
(Folder called dbc will be created inside World of Warcraft folder with dbc files.)
3.Open ad.exe and an black window will popup wit the text of the extraction information.
4. Wait 30 minutes - 2 hours (depending on how fast your computer is)
5. The black window will close down when it's done extracting.
Now the folder called "Maps" should have size of 361mb
and "dbc" should have size of 106mb

Common Errors:
1.Question: When I click ad.exe it starts and leaves the message "Aborting... Could not find data needed to extract the maps"
2.Question: When I start ad.exe an black window just popups and closes.
1.Answer: There are 2 common reasons why this error appears.
1. You have not placed ad.exe inside your World of Warcraft folder
2. You do not have Patch 4.0.0 (Cataclysm)
2.Answer: This is the most common question and the answer is that you need to have Microsoft .Net Framework Version 4.0 installed on your computer.
(Don't ask me why because i don't know lol)
What's new with Version 2.0.0.0?
Fixed SQLlib.dll, NOT NEEDED ANYMORE! Shoud work as normaly now!
Well. We havn't added much we just simply added dbc extractor too, and it's very important now that you place ad.exe inside World of Warcraft/Data since you we have made the path from there. If you're using other than enUS or enGB then it wont work since he didn't add support for anything else.
I'll tell him to add it in next version. (2.0.0.0)
