[Exploit]Use Flying mount within Azeroth

[themaster]

I don't really know if you can get to them but all the outlined areas can't be selected on the maps, and I know Mount Hyjal, the north one on Kalimdor is classified as unknown.

But here they are:

that place above EPL = Quel'thalas = high elf place = not unknown

Nice find +Rep

yeah it works just do a model edit and change it to "Unknown" then it works.

so you mean you can change goldshire to uknown or what?

[Dragonshadow]

So if someone used a db edit to change the names of all the areas in the game to "Unknown" then you could fly all over Azeroth?

Exactly what I thought.
That would be the best thing I've ever done by a modeledit.
IF it works.
We're not sure *g*

hmm i think u can swim to the place under silverspine forrest

Does this still work in 2.4 ? Since its almost impossible to walljump nowdays I doubt i can manage it so hopefully a vid or something so i know how ;P

This would be awesome if I get it to work )

Great find !

Thats what I was thinking aswell...

But i'm assuming theres a trigger that unmounts you, much like the No Mans Land triggers ports you out of hyjal.

Also, you can get to the "Unknown" area behind AQ40, by going to 66,78 in silithus and using the bug to hit you up the wall.

Will post an SS shortly

Is "Unknown" a place that is not assigned to any zone? There is one northeast of Moonglade, where you can go and leave the zone and channels, on the guild list it doesn't show you in any zone, and if you die you end up on the "default" graveyard (Barrens or Westfall). This one is still accessible in 2.4, since it requires no walljump, just one jump across a slope with no landing on it.
I can't use the AQ40 mount, Netherdrake or flightform, however if I try to mount up there. didn't try summoning because I would need three others for that...

You read the first post, didn't you?
I belive you just DIDN'T, so READ IT! -.-
You HAVE to get summoned by a warlock there.

Just tried changing a zones name to "Unknown" and it doesn't work. Guessing because of the certain flags put on that zone forcing you to dismount... Where as unknown zones dont have any set flags.

Maby you can edit the set flags of a zone, set the values to whatever "off" is?

OMG, +rep!

I can partially confirm this. In my various hack attempts at getting an opposite faction PvP tabard, I was able to swap the Hall of Legends and Champions' Hall clientside. (Not the maps -- because that would have been useless to what I was going for -- but the actual AREA tags.)

On /who, I still showed up in the right place. Physically, I was still in the right place. However, I THINK there was more to it than that. For instance, I'm pretty sure flagging/dueling could be controlled this way.

So I'm pretty sure you could do this. There would be a question raised as to whether it's clientside however.

I wouldn't be eager to test this on live... But if you want to...

Go into Areatable.dbc in patch-eng.MPQ. Extract it. Create a new MPQ with an appropriate patch name and place inside it a new Areatable.dbc with all the areas' info copypasted from an Outland Zone like Shattrath... Or try it with every zone changed to AQ and try a bug mount.

It may only let you mount clientside, in which case you should get disconnected if you move too far. But I'm thinking this may be one of the last major things they haven't shifted server side.

(Granted, the server will know where you are. But I think some of the permissions for things like where you can mount or duel may be clientside.)
