Extracting DBC, Maps, VMaps & MMaps

Windows

1. Browse into your D:\Build\bin\RelWithDebInfo folder and copy these files into your root World of Warcraft folder (where the Wow.exe is located):

Note - If you are extracting the data files from another machine, please make sure that you have the appropriate VC++ Redistributable Packages installed

2. Browse into your C:\TrinityCore\contrib and copy "extractor.bat" into your root World of Warcraft folder (with the previous files)

3. Launch extractor.bat and select what you want.

Important: dbc/db2 and maps AND vmaps are needed to make server work properly!

Note: Extracting the vmaps will take a while depending on your machine (30 min. - Up to 2 hours). Do not attempt to stop this 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.

NOTE: Don't run another task before the 1st is finished or you will have errors.

Optional but recommended: Extracting mmaps is optional but recommended. You should know that doing it will take a while depending on your machine (up to 6 hours). Do not attempt to stop this process.

4. Move the vmaps, maps, dbc, cameras and gt (master only) folders to the same directory as the TrinityCore binaries.

Note: The mmaps are experimental right now. Any bugs should be reported to the Issue Tracker.

Setting up the configuration files

First of all you need to find the two default config files (named worldserver.conf.dist and authserver.conf.dist (bnetserver.conf.dist in master) ) and copy these to their namesakes without the .dist extension.

You can find them within your RelWithDebInfo folder
