New Terrain Floors being introduced

One of the side effects of being involved with Astrolabe and TomTom is that I have learned more about the strange mapping system that Blizzard uses.

I wrote a bit of code that uncovers the names, map ID and floors of the new terrain system that Blizzard has been phasing in since Cataclysm. Here are the new zones that will be introduced as of the next patch release. Note that I had to add some of these by hand before and that some guides may need to be changed to use the new zone names if they previously had coordinates in the parent zone:

Note the wierd logic: the hidden floors are almost unique to each continent. But there are annoying stutters where map information is duplicated! I’ll need to noodle on this a bit to iron out the inconsistencies.

    re: is using /way list, the bestThat is what I do.I am going to add code to the next patch to place into the log the current location, zone and floor so folks that dont do that will get it in the log.I am also going to add a seperate log for missing map entries.  I am musing about doing a bug bounty program.

    is using /way list, the bestis using /way list, the best way to try to get the info needed when in an area, where a quest points to the wrong area, to help ‘adjust’ it to the right place/floor etc?
