Solution

  • I solved this issue extracting correctly the dbc & maps.

    I missed some AreaTable.dbc data, I added them, (re)extracted the maps and solved the problem.

    To extract a custom maps from my client I added renamed my MPQ patch into patch-enUS-4.MPQ (case sensitive) and put it in WoW/Data/enUS/ directory because the mapextractor don't read any *.MPQ files but only some of them.

    If the problem still persist
    Check your map area files, probably in the ADT file you associated a different Area ID than your AreaTable.dbc (ID).
