I've experience with making heightmaps, and fancy having a shot at loading them into WoW. While I'm still in the design stage, I need a reference for how big the details and the overall geography should be.

How big is a 512x512 heightmap in the game? Is that the size of a vanilla zone? Smaller, bigger? How large would a vanilla zone roughly be?

Thanks in advance]]> Archived author: FiftyTifty • Posted: 2022-10-13T06:04:06+00:00

Hi,

I'm working on a project with a buddy and I got down to it and built a mall island in Noggit. It's not 100% finished yet as you can see in the video but that's about how I imagined it.

If anyone has any suggestions or tips on how I can improve something, please let me know.

Hi,

Im having some culling problem with some objects that disseapears unless the camera is very close, or the player is close to the objects:

For instance :

Camera Far away:

[Image: 283617414565cd0425f1bb4fbee79728-png.jpg...80b9d3.jpg]

Camera a little more close:

[Image: 74d2e1a09f6003ebe0e07a9d89be892f-png.jpg...4c1dbb.jpg]

The objects are size between 0.9 or 1.1

If i copy/paste and  set the objects size a little more high, like 1.4 ,  the issue is fixed. However, i have a lot of objects with this problem and i dont understand why i have this issue with the objects at scale 1

They are wotlk objects, and the map is custom wotlk . Not porting whatsoever, and im currently using the last version of noggit (3378)

Is there is a way to fix this without rescaling all the objects?

Most regards.

EDIT:

I found the explination for this. In WOTLK and before, objects have a "size category" that is measured by the bounding box of the object (wich is measured by the scale, rotation and position). If that category is 1 or bellow, the objects fade unless too close. So i need to change the scale and rotations of the objects until the size category is at least 1.5 (i think). The objects im using have a low bounding box because i think they are meant to be used in enclosed spaces, so i need them to scale them a little bit more high.

The size category is detailed in the object detail info window on noggit (wich appears after pressing F8 while selecting an object)

hey guys,

i downloaded a created custom map from a guy named NotCoffee418, exported maps and vmaps well and it works fine.

After that I created my custom map ADT files and opened it in Rius Zone Masher, load the apt and saved it. Added DBC entry in Map.dbc. Created a new mpq file and exported it to the project for noggit.

I can open it in Noggit without any errors but if I want to create the VMaps my map is not listed in the log from the extractor, but the map from NotCoffee418 is listed.

What is my mistake?

Hello, i need your help with something with your experience.

I created a custom map,on QA_DVD area and wanted to add a custom graveyard

I  filled map.dbc,area table.dbc and world safe zones.dbc  of my core database

I added the graveyard to sql database

I added the files to an .mpq patch

But i can't make it work in-game and it teleports me to Barrens graveyard(for horde) as it does when it can not find any graveyard

For some reason the client does not recognise the map, i can go to the map, teleport there but i can not link the graveyard and when logging in or out the location of the player is blank.

What am i missing here?]]> Archived author: grimclaw87 • Posted: 2021-11-17T16:33:16+00:00

Hello there.

I need your help and your experience with a strange bug i came across.

I was modifying the original map with the program NOGGIT, i finished the first map area and moved to another area.

Some day randomly as i visited the first area i had modified,i noticed a giant hollow blue wall as i was getting closer to an area that i had placed an object a dark moon fairie tent specifically.

the object is gone also.

I tried to open NOGGIT and go this area to delete the object that causes this but noggit crashes when i am trying to visit the specific area.

Any idea what causes this problem and how can I fix it?

I am attaching some pics to see what I am talking about.

Does anyone know of a working tool that can create minimaps to match Blizzard's ones?

Well, so I wonder how I  can avoid getting white lines between terrain chunks and what the reason is why get it on my terrain.  Ingame it would be lines or just dots showing from the lines. it shows more in the game than in noggit.
