Explore map problem! :(

[hedlund666]

Hi!

I have some problem with exploring my map on my server!
It doesn't explore when i'm in that place and so on, what can the problem be?

+Rep for help!

Do you have Vmaps installed yet? That could be the problem

You need to extract maps (not vmaps, vector maps are for basic collision).

They're nothing alike.

Once you have run the exe then a folder should of been created called "maps". Move this to your server cores folder (the one with world.exe and logon.exe etc) and restart your server.

Did you run all of them though? There are about 3 different ones. And you have to do them in a order (I forgot the order though) It should say somewhere. You also have to make a folder called Maps and put them in that folder That should be the problem, And if it is, Its a visual error.

EDIT: Stone Beat me to it

DBC's are required, they contain a lot of the data for the game and need to be used for the server to even load. Maps gives the world a form, it tells it what is what, as without it the server can't tell the maps apart. That is why nothing was being explored for you. Vector maps are not required either, and if you use them you need to enable collision in your world config. They are very buggy sometimes but make the world have structure, line of sight works and such as well as mobs following basic pathing.

Put it this way, Extract the vmaps/maps/buildings/dbc files and put them in your arcemu/trinity/mangos/whatever folder that should solve the problem
