RECOMMENDATION: compile tools in release mode to save time, debug mode extraction is much longer and it's only needed if you have a crash to report.
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 master, this where 'World of Warcraft Launcher.exe' and the Data folder are
mapextractor.exe mmaps_generator.exe vmap4extractor.exe vmap4assembler.exe |
Note! - If you are extracting the data files from another machine (PC), please make sure that you have the appropriate VC++ Redistributable Packages installed. If still encounter problems, like "the application was unable to start correctly 0xc00007b", then try to recompile core in RelWithDebInfo or Release mode and take new extractor files from newly compiled directory.
2. Browse into your [Drive]:\TrinityCore\contrib and copy "extractor.bat" into your root World of Warcraft folder (with the previous files)
3. Launch extractor.bat and select your extractor option.
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:
4. Move the vmaps, maps, dbc, cameras and gt (master Branch only) folders to the same directory as the TrinityCore binaries.
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* (or Debug* or Release*) folder
