no idea what this bullshit means but its like noggit will NEVER WORK!

Well

(there is probably a problem with your font file)

Just put this: RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting
into your noggit or your world of warcraft folder.(Leave the fonts in the folder)

Alright, now that we have an .ADT in mind, open MWCS and then open common-2.MPQ (File -> Open MPQ Archive). Make sure that at the bottom left, “All file(*.*)” is selected, this is very important! Now we need to find that .ADT we wanted, so open the directory (folder) that appears like so: “World -> Maps” and then either find and choose Azeroth or Kalimdor and then locate the .ADT file you wanted. It’s time to extract! Right-click the file, and click on “Extract File To” and then put that file into the following directory: “World of Warcraft\World\maps\azeroth” (replace Azeroth with Kalimdor if you are using a Kalimdor .ADT file). Do not worry if there is no such directory, create it!

I had to put it in my data folder, i got Windows 7 so might be that.

YiasEdit is only showing a grey screen? Care to help me? Maybe an email.

Ok, I just want to make things clear from this point on; only ask questions regarding the guide, not the individual tools that come with the guide. If you have problems with the tools, find the topic that corresponds with the tool (ie. http://www.mmowned.com/forums/world-of-warcraft/model-editing/tools-guides/281444-beta-yiasedit-dx-new-area-3-x-mapeditor-11.html#post1932463 for YiasEdit) and look for the solution there as problems with the tools have been solved many times in those topics. I don't mean to be rude, but I'm only here to provide help with world building, not the problems that come with the editors.

how do i get the noggit file into patch-**?

[Xandric96]

Can you delete all the other adts exept the one you choose, make new ones around that one and it will work? because i hope it will

[BanzBoyz77]

One question about taliis, whenever i put in my coords for my object, it redirects the z coord back to -1.54, and i change it again and save and close and it goes back into the same thing -1.54, that means my object is underground and i cant tell if its visible, and what do i put for the slot DD set, 2 right? Srry but im in a rush, big project is set up and i need to learn how to spawn objects at an expert level to build wat im building.

[covert_cat]

Amazing! Gave me a great start on world editing, and I'm really enjoying it! +Rep

Hi Toyoka,
I followed your guide from every detail on how to world build but I have one problem. When ever i add a wmo entry using taliis or by .txt, it replaces the ground texture of the whole adt with the most common texture in that area. I was adding the model

World\wmo\northrend\buildings\winterorc\nd_winterorc_wall\nd_winterorc_column.wm o to the ratchet adt, adt 38_33, and when i did the whole adt went a dirt brown and the model i added wasnt there. Any idea why. I even tried to copy an wmo and paste it and then swaped the id of the number from 7 which is my winterorc tower to 9 which is the column but same thing. Any ideas. Im using same noggit as in the tut downloads.

Your adt is corrupted, revert back to an earlier version (I'm assuming you backup your projects), and this this.. when saving in TALIIS, highlight the adt name with your mouse "azeroth_25_54" for example, and THEN save. This happened to me, but I cba to explain how I fixed it myself right now.

When I try to run WoWME.EXE it gives me a message:

Run-time error '339':
Component 'comdlg32.ocx" or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
