[Guide] How to add new ADTs(New continent) to wow

[Bjarke]

Since all the old guides are outdated, and ppl dont know how to do it, or get the programs needed, im writeing this guide on how to add new adts, and ofc provideing the tools. And if you dont know how to use MWS, dont do this.



Download SWG's wow map editor(made for 2.xx wow): SWG's map editor

Download Cryect Tools: Cryect Tools

Start by extracting the WDT file useing Mywarcraftstudio.(The WDT files are placed in common-2.MPQ) Just follow the pic :P



I choosed Azeroth's WDT(world\maps\Azeroth\Azeroth.wdt), and extracted it to your *wow location*\World\maps\azeroth(or region name)\ (Same place as noggit saves ADT files.



Then open SWGs map editor, and choose the file you just extracted(azeroth.wdt)



Now a window pops op, its rather simple and explanes it self.



When done, save it as same location as it allerady says. And then close SWG's editor.

Now extract / find some adt. Copy it, and place the copyed adt in *wow location*\World\maps\azeroth(or region name)\ and rename it to where you made a new adt,(Keep copy/paste it until you got enugh.) ect. I made new adts from 1,1 to 3,3 on Azeroth WDT. So i have to rename my files to:
Azeroth_1_1.adt
Azeroth_1_2.adt
Azeroth_1_3.adt
Azeroth_2_1.adt
Azeroth_2_2.adt
Azeroth_2_3.adt
Azeroth_3_1.adt
Azeroth_3_2.adt
Azeroth_3_3.adt

When done copying and renameing your files, keep Azeroth folder open, while opening Cryect tools, Drag and drop one at a time one of your "new" adts over Offsetfix.exe.



Go to noggit, and enjoy your new continent First guide ever xD

WoW, it worked fine on 3.2.2 but, if I copya adt with a wmo this one can only be seen on one of the adt copied.

PD: About SWG's map editor... Does the all the other functions work on 3.2.2?

Hmm, can you descripe your problem a bit more? You mean that if you copy an adt with a wmo on it, the wmo will be in all adts, or just the copyed? or your WMO will only show in 1 of your copyed adt?(Sorry, your english is hard to understant)

Well, SWG's map editor will work on wow 3.xx, because wow 3.xx support 2.xx adt files. (It will work on most adts, just not those from northrend, so dont try to edit those.)

[davidfaca]

What I wanted to say is that the WMO will only show on one of the copied adt.

PD: Sorry for my english xD I'm from Spain.

[Bjarke]

Hmm, In noggit, or ingame? (If ingame, then the WMO offset is worng. read a guide on WMOs to know what that is )

[davidfaca]

I can't see the wmo on noggit. I haven't tested them ingame (I don't have enogh time xD)

[Bjarke]

Hmm, well, try use fileinfo on it, and check if the WMO is still there. and you rembered to offsetfix all the adts?

[Trollblod]

I don't have any *wow location*\World\maps\azeroth folder... perhaps you mean the WoWStudio folder or?
