How do I attach area changes to my WoW Client?

[Zaxer]

Hello.
Could someone be kind and tell me how I attach the changes I made to an .ADT file to my WoW Client?
I used YiasEdit to modify the .ADT if that matters.

Thanks.

So I should make a .MPQ, and add the modified .ADTs files into it, and then move it to the data folder?

Yep. Make sure you name the MPQ properly though.

And that you use the same treepath for the .ADT's.

I did everything you guys Said but it still doesnt work.

By 'doesn't work' do you mean:

i) Game crashes
ii) Nothing happens but game still runs
iii) Select parts load up etc.

My suggestion at this point is to look through some of the World Building threads we have around here and to slowly go through them while checking over each step you did to make sure they match.

Nothing happens

Most likely you didnt made the correct path in the MPQ. It has to be world\maps\mapname\mapname_x_y.adt

Does it matter if I use capitals in "world" or "maps"?
Example: "World" or "Maps" if not, then I have no idea what I am doing wrong

[Cromon]

no, doesnt matter, the hashes are always stored as uppercase. Whats the name of the MPQ?

The name of the patch is patch-G.MPQ

[Cromon]

Never tested letters yet. Just to be sure try once patch-9.MPQ.

Here is a picture of my archive:

Does that mean youve tested it with a number instead of a letter?

I havent I will do that right away, how long will you be on? Do you have MSN?

EDIT: I GOT IT WORKING!
All I needed to do was including the Kalimdor or Azeroth.wdt file in the archive ;D
