ADT versions

[danielrhodea]

Hello,

is there any way to convert preTBC and TBC maps to wotlk maps (.adt's) and adding free flying to the adt's through the MFBO chunk? I realise editing the MFBO chunk would need to be manually tweaked to hide artifacts but is the concept sound (this would require an immense amount of effort i'm sure becuase I mean replace all old waterfalls with wotlk waterfalls for better effects)

Uhm .. The format is only different at additional chunks. Old ADTs still are read by WoW. Also, all ADTs in the current state are WotLK ones.
To enable flying you could just add a "infinite" MFBO entry.
The waterfalls are just a model...

an infinite MFBO will not suffice, I'll need more than just me to make it work for differing heights but it will be the highest quality answer, thank you for this greatly useful info, I would like to edit these additional chunks and replace the display object reference for the old models with the new models, it should be simple as java can find replace values lol.

thanks again, if I can get enough of a base template going maybe people can use this thread to volunteer help???

Edit: Also remembered need to update all water to the new water system!!!

WoW still can handle the old water chunks.

I know but If i make everything as shiny and new as possible it'll make me happy, btw check out my thread on my java progress
