[Showoff] High Res Minimap-based WorldMap from Alpha 0.5.3 Client

These versions DO NOT SUPPORT Carbonite
Yes, I tried. They do not even attempt to execute any addon scripts. This was pre-Retail.

I can't seem to figure out the WMO's for the versions 0.5.3, 0.5.5. They're pre-compressed from Blizz using unusual wmo.mpq compression, which contains 2 unnamed files. merging the smaller block to the end of the large block results in floating point operation failures. I don't have the know-how, or knowledge of wmo/mpq files to get anywhere futher on those files.

You could've edited them so they won't support carbonite, that's pretty easy if you know how to do it. (:P) to get reputation and such yourself!!one!1

Nice work. I need it for my little work

I created a composite image of several development maps (westfall and Elwynn forest), and overlayed them at varying degrees of opacity, so show how the landscape changed slightly between versions 0.5.5, 0.9.0, and 3.2.2a. Most things stayed the same, but there's a few interesting things to see...

May i ask you what sandbox/server were you using for the beta clients? Thanks

On Topic : Wow this looks awesome +rep.
Also i've got the 0.5.5 alpha client too , but i can't find a working sandbox for it.

I have yet to get anything aside from the abyss server working. I had to manipulate the minimaps outside of the game engine. I have yet to really see if carbonite will function with minor hacks to the toc file and such. When I have the time, I'll see if I can get it working or not.

An addon like carbonite running in a version that is a few years old? Forget about it. They have problems keeping it running between current patches. How should it just work back then?

That's what I've been saying, but people seem to think that I can't read and continue to post "carbonite" over and over again. I KNOW it doesn't work - no addons work with the pre-retail release of WoW, because it wasn't intended to work with interface addons. Period.
