Right, ok i just had a random thought and im wondering if it is a bad idea, or has a chance of working, here goes:
Is it possible to make your customised .ADT's with noggit whatever, then take the originals as backups and replace them in the actual WoW official .MPQ files, then run ad.exe (map extractor) then put the extracted maps into your repack, custom compiled server folder, would that make a serverside change to the world? or am i barking up the wrong tree?

P.S i know this probs won't work, but b4 i mess up my wow client, i wanna know if any1 agree's with me that it has a "chance" anybody?

Correct me if im wrong. But the maps(who ad.exe extract) are containing the coordinates for each maps. Haven't heard anything else about it containing How the world constructed. So from the information i know so far. Then probably not. But if anyone can add any information about that the maps actually does contain codes / information that can change how the world looked ingame then add it. Cause so far i know that you're still able to play ( Start server and play ) without the maps but if you try to teleport or add some coordinates it can get messed up. Something like that if i remember right.
secondly. As far as i know whenever the server owner makes some custom stuffs. He have to send a custom patch who fix the MPQ file or something like that for the players. Which means i would believe that the maps cant change how the world looks ingame cause the players don't have those files but rather modify the mpq file or whatsoever etc.
Im not so very familiar with the modifying files like MPQ and dbc files and so on. So cant say much. but i believe its something like this.

ahhh
i get ya :) was just a thought that popped into my head
i looked further into it, and found that the maps that are extracted by ad.exe are a completely different thing :/ but, im gonna keep trying to make it possible for serverside model edits xD even if it is impossible... XD
