Notes

Textures are placed on areas of a map, relative to its pixel size. The texture is split in a varying number of sub-textures. Each texture can not exceed the size of 256x256 pixels.

Textures are found in the world map area directory which itself resides in the Interface\WorldMap directory. The base texture name is suffixed with an 1-based index, and prefixed with the world map area’s name (e.g. Interface\WorldMap\Tirisfal\Monastery1.blp. Here the world map area directory is Tirisfal, the base texture name is Monastery, with sub-texture index of 1).

The world map area (aka. zone) where the overlay is placed, is referenced by worldMapAreaID, while the corresponding area is referenced in areaTableID1.
