I just uploaded a new .zip of all the mmaps for Vanilla and TBC here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PB-cmQSifb4WwdXFaK-yiAADlh7-qsq0/view?usp=sharing

You can find instructions on doing this yourself here: https://drewkestell.us/Article/6/Chapter/20

Simply use version 2.4.3 of the WoW client instead of 1.12.1.

Hi,

I run the command map-extractor.exe in BLIZZ server(TBC 2.5) not a private server. But it seems that not working.

Thanks again.

As mentioned in the README, this does not work on retail. The map format has likely changed significantly in WoW Classic.

Hi,

Do you have any guide about navigation in retail?
I realy need such function in my bot.

Thanks a lot.

hi,
I have two question:

  1. What about mapid? Is it always 0 or 1, as I found the file name are all begin with 000 or 001.
    Or is it same as below with lua code in WOW?

/run local mapID = C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit("player"); print(format("You are in %s (%d)", C_Map.GetMapInfo(mapID).name, mapID))

  1. is it possible that I download the mmaps files from your above google link, and then used it in retail since the version in retail is TBC 2.5. I can't sure if this is posible.

Thanks&Regards

So sorry for my type error , it should be classic TBC while not retail.
I can't sure if there's any difference between classic TBC and retail

  1. You can see the MapIds by digging around in the underlying data files in the WoW client. For example, I found a utility called DBC Editor that you can use to open and view the contents of the .dbc files. From there, you can open Map.dbc and see the MapIds:

It looks like somebody built a browser tool that has all the same info as well: https://wow.tools/dbc/?dbc=map&build=2.4.3.8606#page=1

  1. No idea. I've never spent time reverse engineering the Classic WoW clients, so I don't know if they even use .dbc files anymore.
