Emerald Dream Canyon

[jbr373]

Hello again, OwnedCore!

The Edit I'm presenting you today is the finished version of the Emerald Dream Canyon!

I've put a lot of work into this, and tried to make the Area completely playable.
This means that I had to add or improve a whole lot of things, to give the Zone a Blizzard feeling. (- the Texture/Lightning Mod, of course)

What has been done?

- The Terrain has been finished
- Models added (of course)
- Set new Areas with Background Sound
- Added a new Loading Screen
- Map and Minimap has been added to the Canyon Area
- Added Ground Effects
- Added Light & Skybox

Which Tools have been used?

- NoggIt 1.3
- LightMapper
- MyDBCEditor
- M2Modder
- BLPConverter
- Paint.NET
- FuTa
- TrinityCore Server Emulator
- groundeffectadder
- ground_doodads_fixing

The Link to the Tools Pack is in the Credits!

Which Language does this Edit have?

The DBC Files have the Locale enGB, and the Maps have this as well!

How does the Map, Minimap and Loading Screen look?


The Loading Screen


The Minimap
(Sadly, the MiniMapCreate tool didn't work for me, so I had to create the Minimaps by Hand... so only Water and Terrain are shown, no M2's or WMO'.)


The World Map
(Where I went lazy, so I opted for this.)

And the Ingame World?

Here are some Screenshots of the Zones in the Canyon:

Zone: The Hidden Path



Zone: Dreamer's Rest







Zone: Spinning Fields



Zone: The Mending Lake







Zone: Emerald Shore



Zone: Wild Groth Passge





Zone: Emerald Forest

Information about the ENB:

Please note that I use the GTA - San Andreas ENB to improve the Lightning and add things like Bloom Effects.
If you try this Map with ENB, please make sure that your PC can in fact handle all the extra stress put on your Processor and Graphics Unit.
My GTX 560 TI managed 60-40 FPS.
The enbseries.ini is also set up for this GPU.
Please watch out and be aware before trying this.

How to remove the ENB:
Delete the d3d9.dll, enpalette.bmp and ebseries.ini from your World of Warcraft Client directory.

Download & Installation:

https://www.mediafire.com/?y3efezfc7ntytfe

Unpack the Archive and copy the contents from the "Client Patch" direcotry to the directory of your WoW.exe file.
The ENB Files are not required for the Patch to work, simply adding the patch-4.;PQ works as well, of course.

Start Point Coordinates:
3219.962 3038.452 23.231 169

Graveyard ID (for Server):
1721

For best Visuals, use the Commands - they'll increase your Ground Effect Doodads:
/console GroundEffectDensity 256
/console GroundEffectDist 140

Thanks for downloading and/or checking out this Thread! Hope you like the Edit!

It's mad sexy bro! Goodjob! +Repped! , though it doesn't seem to work on my end though.it's still bright green.

Nevermind, I got it working. I made my own specular maps to go along with your tilesets, so I don't have to turn off the specular setting since that would ruin my other maps that were made around the specular effect.

[theduncehat]

It looks good in Cataclyms too

[andra778]

Awesome !!

This place is awesome, but I'm having a problem where the texture of the ground is entirely green. I'm using an ArcEmu server - is that causing the problem? Or is there something extra I need to do to get this to work, as with theduncehat? I have no idea how to create Specular Maps, unfortunately.

Thank you again!

You can turn Spectacular Lighting off in your WoW Settings, it should be under Resolution. The Terrain won't reflect Sun Light, but the Textures will show properly. I'll have to update this and add Spectacular Textures to the patch

Hello, does it work on a cataclysm server ?

You can use My tool I make and release here:
http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...tor-based.html ([TOOL] ADT LK to Cata Converter - 010 Editor Based)

I also use Jbr373 maps for my demonstration videos

For Emerald Dream Canyon, he removed the listfile from the MPQ, so you will need to make a listfile yourself to get his ADT and Tile BLP files if you want to do the conversion.

You will also need to make your own Specular Maps since he didn't make any for this release, otherwise everything will be Bright Green, refer to this tutorial for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuXOgzZa2Bs
