Well, obviously the server will need new maps and entries in the DB. I should have been more clear. I know the client will need new files (the eqg, obj, etc or whatever), but is that all the client requires to be able to zone into the custom zones? I guess I'm asking, are the zone IDs/names hard coded into the client so it will only send requests for zones it knows about, or will the server just be like 'you're zoning into this zone now, load it up' when they pass through the zone line?
The answer is, yes, it will send requests only for zones it knows about. You need to replace an existing zone with the custom zone and adjust it's longname in the db to get it to reflect the zonename you want. It won't actually change the "You are entering x zone" text (which is hard-coded); but once you zone in, the chat box will say "You have entered [new longname for zone]."
