How do i make say stormwind become an instance typed thing? im trying to make housing system but i cant because i dont understand how to actualy RESPAWN instances

[gravestalker]

You can't make Stormwind an instance because an instance is a complete differnt map. However Stormwind is a build so you could spawn it in a instance I guess. If it would fit that is. For me I made houses under Stormwind for ally and under Orgrimmar for Horde. Hoped this helped

nice never thought of doing that lol

If you want to do this you need to be able to release your own patch, you create a new map file (HARD DO NOT ASK ME FOR TUTORIAL) and find the gameobject id for stormwind (bit weird its a gameobject but you know, blizzard suck, try searching for somethink like gameobject IDs on MMOwned) put it on your database as an instance spawn your mobs etc and distribute the map and associated files as a patch-something.mpq, this is not nooby stuff, if in doubt, dont risk your server, get advise from a pro server expert, dont "try" random ideas or youl probs screw your whole server up

[gravestalker]

You can't make a map. Unless yo know the .mpq bite count to decompress it which of cousre only blizz knows so you might wanna think of something else besides an instance

i wanted to make the great sea an instance for the housing actualy.
So does any1 know how to make an area an instance?

[TheSpidey]

You can't instance areas, only maps.

[avatarscapereborn]

the bloody question is how tho?!?!

[TheSpidey]

Take a look at your worldmap_info table in the world DB, it should be pretty clear

[Fireblast]

you could just use a real instance and remove all mobs in there and put in yours and decorate !

ive decided that deadmines is going then :/
Do u no how to rename an area so it appears as a different name?

[stoneharry]

go into worldmap_info and change it's name... Thast will say "Welcome to Deadmines" on enter, or change it to "Enter to whateveryoucalledit". But you cant change the parts that pop up on your screen and minimap.

[avatarscapereborn]

so it will say like area triggered in message or entered area [NAME]?
