Map.dbc
This client database describes the various top level maps (also called continents) the game uses. All dungeon instances have their own map as well. The columns known purposes are as follows:
| Column # | Data Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Column1 | Integer | WorldID |
| Column2 | String | WDT Filename |
| Column3 | Integer Flag | ??? |
| Column4 | String | World Description |
| Column5 | Integer | Blank |
| Columns 6 Through 10 | Integer | Blank |
| Column11 | Integer | Blank |
| Column12 | Integer | ??? |
| Columns 13 - 15 | Integers | Purpose Unknown, but the three numbers seem to be linked |
| Column 16 | Integer Flag | The value is -1 for all instances except for BlackRockSpire and BlackrockDepths (which are 0) |
| Column 17 | Float (Double) | ??? |
| Column 18 | Float (Double) | ??? But numbers seem linked to Column 17 |
| Column 19 | Integer | ??? However, the numbers seem to be linked to the instance being WMO-only or WMO and Terrain |
| Column 20 | String | Horde Description of the Battleground (if not Battleground, then blank) |
| Columns 21 - 27 | Integer | Blank |
| Column 28 | Integer | ??? |
| Column 29 | String | Alliance Description of the Battleground (if not Battleground, then blank) |
| Columns 30 - 36 | Integer | Blank |
| Column 37 | Integer | ??? |
| Column 38 | Integer | ??? All Instances in this column have numbers here except for the test ones. Possibly a revision number? |
| Column 39 | Integer Flag | ??? The only two instances that are flagged are PVPZone03 and PVPZone04 (this might indicate that the Battlegrounds are CTF-style?) |

| 42 | Collin | Collin's Test World |
| 43 | WailingCaverns | The Wailing Caverns Instance |
| 44 | Monestary | The Scarlet Monestary Instance (Called "MonestaryInterior" in the DBC) --- Notes on this: This instance seems to be a different monestary structure than the normal Scarlet Monestary(in normal WoW) in which the instance begins with the players entering one of the four portals. In this instance, the player enters the instance by entering the monestary (the portal is placed on the staircase going up into the building) and the player enters the "library" entrance of the instance. This instance is quite interesting as it incorporates many elements from ALL four other instances and puts them into one, creating an entirely different instance. |
