what version of wow does this use? if it is 3.x then you are godly.

[Tigurius]

It should support every release version of wow(alpha not all cause some filetypes have changed to much)

[dffrntdnl]

testing on my retail wow version now... + 2 cookies incoming maybe?
I've been looking into getting into model editing... maybe this will do the trick

1 question : how do i start the program?

[Tigurius]

You need to install Java as it is a plattformindependent Java-programm

[alj03]

so this like world building and what not?

Taliis have a lot of function, you can do a bit more than only worldbuilding.
I hope the terrain edit function will come soon!

Are there any tutorials about Taliis available?

My question exactly..

[techniquees]

so! I edited the Kalimdor.wdt from a 1.12 version of wow, added 4 new blocks, and obviously made the ADT's relative to their positioning in the wdt (as WoW type). Copied these files into the world/map/kalimdor directory in my 1.12 n opened noggit to check their integrity. The preview map for kalimdor shows the new ADT's, yet Noggit crashes when I go anywhere near them.

From what I read under Demon's Add land etc thread, Taliis doesn't need any of the offset fixing n shtuffz. So I don't know what's going wrong here?

[ozzybwild]

hmm.. just tried opening the spells.dbc from keazain's last working release.. doesn't open :/

..other *.dbc's seem to work, however

[Tigurius]

@techniquees: perhaps wrong adt titles while creating these adts with taliis?(ie Azeroth_49_31.adt instead of Azeroth_31_49.adt) I haven't tested the functions with Noggit but ingame it works perfect.

@ozzybwild: the fresh extracted Spell.dbc from the MPQs works fine for me...
