Is This relating to the Zul'gurub map earlier??

Then running the vmap_assembler.exe buildings vmaps i get this :

spawning Map ..............

spawning Map 967

spawning Map 968

spawning Map 974

spawning Map 977

Calculating model bounds for map 0...

Creating map tree...

Cannot open vmaps/000.vmtree

Converting Model Files

Converting Abandonedorcblacksmith_Alt.wmo

error converting Abandonedorcblacksmith_Alt.wmo

exit with errors

----------------------------------------------

just doesnt seem right.

Do I have a corrupt wow file?

i grabbed the torrent posted from this forum, World of Warcraft 4.3.4 Client 15595

I do have the original game on disk, is it worth using that version??

Thanks in advance.

as you have seen, the initial zul'gurub messages can be ignored

have you tried running the command prompt as administrator ?

[sython]

Hi, yes i have UAC off, so it runs as admin.

I redownloaded the 4.3.4 WOW but same thing.

Rebuild it on both debian & ubuntu same issue.

EDIT:

I think i actually might know what the problem is, just a simple case of creating the vmaps folder....

read it somewhere else so will try it tonight, even though both guides dont state it needs creating...

Something simple as that, but when you are a first timer every little step helps...

Anyway i will report back if it solves the the final step problems for the extraction.

EDIT EDIT:

Yup that was the problem. something as simple as that. Thanks
