[Ascent] Possible to force battlegrounds?

[Gasekura]

I'm currently running the Cosa Nostra server's Rouslan repack, and have found I'm unable to enter any battleground maps (says the instance was not found). Is there a way to create a battleground or force one to start? Now the maps did not come with the repack, I downloaded them from the link in the ascent server guide by grandmst20. If anyone could point me in the right direction on how to fix this I would be much appreciative.

Uhm...How about extracting your own maps??

hey m8, you need to have MAPS folder in your ascent folder. without the maps you cannot enter BG or get flaged for PVP. you need to download a MAP extractor.

i am against 100% of downloading already extracted maps. 1st it takes years to download and its not always 100% complete.

go into worldmap_info
find that map id...set the type to 1

Ok so I extracted my own maps and used those, no difference.

I used Ballwinkle's advice and went into the worldmap_info and changed the types to 1, and the loading screen now appears and loads, but I'm prompty placed back at the battlemaster's room in SW keep (I'm alliance). Is there something else I need to alter?

On a sidenote, red portal gates still say the instance cannot be found.

Sometimes it doesnt load...Just kep trying

I have tried many times over several server restarts. No change.

The maps are there, and they load, but I keep getting sent back to the War Room every time I try to enter the area.
.port recall, .worldport, .gotrig all give me the same outcome. What I need to know is why I'm getting sent back out of the instance as soon as I arrive?

Also, is it possible to make an blank, terrain only copy of one of these maps?

Ok i can get into bgs fine by setting type to 2 in world_info but only one im having problems with is warsong gulch does anyone have this working if so can you tell me how to get it to work like it loads says welcome to warsong gulch but im floating in air and i see a continent, so i think its spawning me outside the map, any ideas?

 

[Gasekura]

Well setting to the type to 2 gets me into the maps, which is what I needed most. However, is there a way to manually force a battleground match? None of the .battleground commands seem to do anything.

 

[dwolf312]

yea i noticed 2 you got into warsong gulch? it puts me outside of it?

 

[dwolf312]

bump

If you're having trouble getting to the continent, go take a look at your areatriggers table in the database. If you organize it by name you should be able to find two with Warsong Gulch in the title, one for the Sentinel area and one for the Horde area (I don't have access to my computer at the moment).

Find the number for that trigger and use the .gotrig # command to take you to that area.

Then, once you're there, just use the .recall command to add a new recall item (i.e. '.recall add WarsongGulch'). From then on you can use .recall port WarsongGulch to take you to that area.

I guess I should rephrase my question. What I really want to know is, How can I spawn WSG flags that can be picked up? Even if they can't be picked up it'd be nice to have the flags displayed. On the same topic, I'd also be interested in creating the Arathi Basin flag nodes. Does anyone know how I would accomplish this?

 

[Gasekura]

Anyone know what that object would be or where I could find out?
