i don't suppose someone could clarify step 8?

I have all the files etc, but arn't .exe and .bat windows files? anyway, they cant/wont run, and i can't see any other files that would execute

Step 8 - Datafiles

Download the datatools, I got these from the contrib folder in the MaNGOS source.

Place these files in your w*w folder and run "ad.exe" and "makevmaps_SIMPLE.bat". This will take a LONG time, when its done you will have 4 new folders.

Your going to upload, "maps", "dbc", and "vmaps", place these in the "bin" folder You can do this with Filezilla, it supports SFTP, you can upload the files without the need to install an FTP server.

Side-note: i had to remove all capitals in scriptdev2 for it to install. i have no idea how the author got it to work with capitals...

Edit: found another guide which helped me. 'ad.exe' gets info from your install of the actual game and needs to be in that directory
