i've hit a little problem hopefully the last one.... firstly i have no clue what i'm doing however Facerolling showed my the How-to:Win - TrinityCore Wiki guide for installing a 4.0.6 - 4.1 wow server, so i thought i'd give it a shot after screwing around with it all day compiling and databasing and extracting and downloading.. i finally came to the section..
Code:
Extracting DBC/Maps/VMaps =
Now that you have extracted the maptools to your WoW client directory, use the following instructions to extract the necessary .DBC, .maps, and (optional) .vmap files needed for the server to run.
Run your WoW Client once (the login screen is enough). You need to do this so that the 'mapextractor.exe' knows where your WoW Client is and where to extract the files from.
Run mapextractors.exe.
After this program is finished, move the dbc and maps folders to the location of your TrinityCore worldserver.exe and authserver.exe binaries (D:\Build\bin\Release\).
(Optional, but recommended) Run makevmaps3_simple.bat. It will create two new folders: buildings and vmaps. The buildings folder is completely useless and can be safely deleted.
Move the vmaps folder to the same directory as dbc, maps, and the TrinityCore binaries.
however not realizing this i did what it said then continued however when come to launching the authserver.exe and worldserver.exe files when finished. i got a crash report from worldserver.exe stating that the /maps folder was empty.
and indeed it was.. however upon checking on a completely different computer the same thing has happened /dmc folder is full but /maps folder is empty.
any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
