Noggit 1.3 problem. Terrain won't show

[gillisrofl]

Hello! I have recently tried to add my own area following this guide perfectly:

http://www.mmowned.com/forums/world-...-building.html

However, when I was finished doing everything, Noggit wouldn't show me the terrain. It does though, show me the terrain on the map. However, when I switch back to tile again it's the same; Endless blue sky with nothing else. And yes I haven't pressed F3.
I made the zone outside land and water.

Here is a screenshot when I view it from above as a map:



And here is when I view it as terrain:



So how do I fix this? Anyhow, here is what I have and what I have done:

World of Warcraft 2.4.3, enGB.

Windows XP Service Pack 2

I am using the following programs I got from the guide (aside from Noggit 1.3):
- Noggit 1.3
- My Warcraft studio
- WoW Map Editor
- Cryects Tools ---> OffsetFix.exe


I have done the following IN ORDER:

1. Extracted .atd file and .wdt file through Warcraft Studio to
\World of Warcraft 2.4.3\World\Maps\Azeroth
(Used the same .atd as in the guide)

2. Made 4x4 square atd in WoW Map Editor and Saved

3. Copied the .adt file 15 times (= 16 atd files), and renamed them all after the cordinates like the following: Azeroth_XX_XX
Example: Azeroth_10_5
(Of mistake I made the .adt files to always open with notepad. However, I removed that and they should now be normal, although they don't look like this anymore: "Azeroth_XX_XX.adt". Though the result was the same before that).

4. Droped the .adt files on OffsetFix.exe ONE BY ONE. Here is a screenshot of the first results (That I managed to snap rather quickly):


And here is a second result after I tried once more (After the accident with "always open this program with notepad" Don't mind the different location tile! I just tried another area!):


Although I am not sure if I snapped the first result by dropping the .adt file TWICE. Noticed I had the same result after dropping an .atd file twice with the second try.
Also the CryectsTools folder is not in the WoW folder but in the folder I got it.

5. Started Noggit 1.3, found the area, found the map terrain, but not the terrain in "u" mode... or maybe tile mode w/e. In other words not visible.



So what have I done wrong? What is wrong? And how do I fix it? +rep forevah to the one who can help me out on this one! Thanks!

P.S: I highly doubt that the problem lies with the open program problem... so if you are going to write a reply please don't tell me just to fix that but come with other possibilities first!

Bump! -.-

Did I put too much detail into this for you guys to solve ?

[Herbalism]

Very detailed, this is what a real support thread is about!
Anyway, I don't think I know the solution for your problem, sorry. Although, sometimes when I load an ADT somewhere in Azeroth/Kalimdor the terrain doesn't show. I press esc and choose another location nearby and it works! You could try that. Also, if you wonder I'm using Noggit 1.3 too

[gillisrofl]

I press esc and choose another location nearby and it works!

Hmm what do you mean? Another location in the World Map editor? And then change the ADT one more time? Or do you mean that you click a nearby location O.o?

I have been thinking that it's maybe the problem with my offsetfix.exe. Are there different version for 2.4.3 and so on? Maybe you could upload it for me ^_^?

[Zolascius1]

The terrain is there.. you just have to move down more with your camera.

That, or you extracted a piece of the map that had no terrain attached.

-Z

[gillisrofl]

That doesn't help at all... I tried extracting 3 different ATD's from different tiles. As well as in different zones. As you can see, when I view it from above, I can see the map. However, I can't see it in terrain mode. Also it says "The great sea" which means it is a zone there and not "Out of bounds".

(And really move my camera down? I am not THAT braindead -.-)

[Herbalism]

I usually pick a location nearby.
However, yes this might be an offsetfix lag. I don't have any time to upload one right now, but when I can I will. And then also, try redoing it once or twice and see if it works.
Oh, and did you drag the adts into offsetfix ONE BY ONE?

[MadameGrip]

I say: start over

[Herbalism]

I say: start over

True message is true.

[gillisrofl]

Yep I draged them into offsetFix.exe one by one

4. Droped the .adt files on OffsetFix.exe ONE BY ONE.

Also, as I asked in my post before, does offsetFix.exe need to be in the same folder to reach the .wdt or something or just in it's own folder? Or does it matter at all? Also are there different versions of offsetfix.exe? Because the guide I downloaded for was for 3.xx+. I have tried searching internet for older versions but without results.

And I have started over 4 times now ^^... with different tiles also.

Here is a screen of the start option if it's any help..

[Herbalism]

The WDT and the ADT's are all supposed to be in World\Maps\Azeroth.
However, I just noticed that you're trying to edit Azeroth (Eastern Kingdoms) and I just want to point out:

When I try to do that with custom ADT's it doesn't go well at all. It might just be me, I have no idea. I have a crappy version of offsetfix.exe which doesn't like Azeroth maybe? Try edit Kalimdor and see if it works there, if it does work there but not on Azeroth, it's a buggy offsetfix, if it doesn't work on Kalimdor either, it's a ****ed up offsetfix.

[gillisrofl]

Just tried with two different tiles in Kalimdor now (World > Maps > Kalimdor). None of them worked. I suppose it's the offsetfix.exe then? Any chance ya could upload for me ^.^?

[gillisrofl]

bump... so no one knows how to solve this problem?

btw 2x+rep to you Herbalism for trying to help me at least
