should i be worried that it says: Can’t find area flag for areaid 2304.

Can’t find area flag for areaid 1536.

Can’t find area flag for areaid 462.

Can’t find area flag for areaid 1568.

I’m guessing it’s just marks for different locations on the map, like the name or coords. Am i right? or is it something different, or something much more serious? D:

It seems to be patch.MPQ that’s causing the problem. When it’s not there it works fine, but then I don’t get all of the maps extracted.

It doesn’t work for me. It gets to 41% and then says ad.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Great guide btw, thanks a ton. I had one problem I can’t figure out, and I’ve seen other comments with the same problem. When i am doing the vmap extracting, the game path is C:\World of Warcraft\Data\ when it should be C:\World of Warcraft causing an error at the end. I just can’t figure out how to change the path from which it extracts. please help! thanks
