Extracting Cameras, DBC, Maps, VMaps & MMaps
Windows
1. Browse into your [Drive]:\Build\bin\RelWithDebInfo* (or Debug* or Release*) folder and copy these files into your root World of Warcraft folder

For wow build version 3.3.5a 12345, approximate extracted size:
| Extractor options | Size | Time to extract |
|---|---|---|
1. Extract Base files (NEEDED), includes dbc, maps and cameras | ~336 MB | |
| 2. Extract vmaps (OPTIONAL, highly recommended) | ~652 MB | |
| 3. Extract mmaps (OPTIONAL, highly recommended) | ~1.83 GB | up to 8h |
| 4. Extract all (Includes all previous points) | ~2.79 GB | up to 10h |
Important notes:
- dbc/db2, maps AND vmaps are needed to make server work properly!
- Do not attempt to stop vmaps exctraction process. It is finished when it prints "Press any key...". It will create two new folders: buildings and vmaps. The buildings folder is completely useless post-running and can be safely deleted.
- Don't run another task before the 1st is finished or you will have errors.
- If you stop vmap4extractor before finish you will need to delete the Buildings directory before start again.
- Optional but extremely recommended: Extract also mmaps. Do not attempt to stop this process while it is exctracting.
- Extraction process takes some amount of time. Depending from chosen "Extractor options" and CPU (only bottleneck in process), for example, with AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and option "Extract all", was done under 14min (from those MMaps took 11min 35s).
