You will have to wait for an update for the new zones.

The server .map files are not used to populate zones with NPCs, they tell the server what the zone's ground and scenery geometry are like, so a given zone's .map file will not work for any other zone.

NPCs are populated from the NPC tables in the database, so someone will have to create spawn points, npc specifications, loot tables, merchant inventories, etc. for the new zone before it can be used. Some of the NPC specs can be copied over from the old version of a new zone, but spawn and pathing information will have to be completely redone.

Another problem with the SoF client install is that some zones are missing the ZoneNick_chr.txt files that tell the client where to find the graphical models for certain types of creatures. There's a batch file in one of the support forums around here made by Trevius that addresses that issue.
