How to convert minimap images for usage in WaypointCreator.
- Start with extracting the minimap images from the client. They are always located in textures/Minimap
- Get https://github.com/Daribon/MapMD5Rename
- Run Md5Renamer.exe in the same directory as md5translate.trs
- All images will now be with correct name and path.
- Delete WMO folder.
- Batch convert the blp images to webp, in the below example I will use IfranView:
- Once that is done, delete all blp images.
- Drag textures folder into same directory as Waypoint Creator.exe. Your full path should be textures/Minimap and then the different zone folders.
- Extract map.dbc from client. Convert it to CSV. I used WDBX to convert it.
- Use the regex below to remove everything that is not needed from the csv file.
Regex find string:
\A[^"\r\n]*"([^"]+)"\s*,\s*"([^"]+)".*\r?\n?
Replacement string:
$1,$2\n
- Drag the converted map.csv into the same directory as Waypoint Creator.exe
- Run Waypoint Creator.exe
