[SOLVED] Extracting map,dbc,vmaps ....

[valcriss]

Hello,

I have compiled all the extractor tools from source, and i have successfully extract data from a enGB 4.3.4 client.

I am trying now to extract data from a frFR 4.3.4 client. and each time, it tell me ad.exe stop running (with the windows common error message)...

Can it come from my wow client files ? can i change something to make it work ?

Try to run as administrator, peharps help

Tried, but dont work.

Anyway i found something : when i start my wow frFR client it's version is : Version 4.3.4 (15595) (Serie x86) ???

I am running a Windows 7 x64, trying to extract data from a (Serie x86), can it generate this kind of errors ?

What (Serie x86) in wow version means ?

What is the difference in the clients, just language stuff?

Don't they just extract maps and database info? Maybe there is a character set problem that is crashing it

from cata onwards there are two versions of the exe 32bit (wow.exe) and 64bit (wow64.exe)

from a data extraction point of view it makes no difference

something you could try is using the -d switch to specify the data folder directly

Create a virtual machine with a windows xp for example, copy in that vm wow folder, and try to extract it in this virtual machine.

Then, copy the files to your server.

Virtual machine software:

www.virtualbox.org

i am able to extract the files using the same tools on both windows 32bit and 64bit

Here is what i got when i run with -i option to force game path :

Map & DBC Extractor

Extracting dbc files...

Extracted 333 DBC/DB2 files

Loaded MPQ files for map extraction:

c:\\Warcraft\\wow/Data/World2.MPQ

-- crashed here --

Same crash at the same moment.

Will try the vm thing

[Locario]

if it fails with the vm option would see a client problem.

[valcriss]

Same thing on VM Windows XP.

Definitly a client problem, will try to redownload data files using this trick http://getmangos.eu/bb/topic/460/directdownload-getting-434-clients-in-all-languages/

It was a client problem, now it's fine.

I have created a small soft, to help downloading the correct files for a specific locale using the wow repository.
