Used to display the different zone overlays in blizzard's world map UI. Overlays are positionned in a rectangle whose coordinates are specified here in pixels (relative to the map pixel size). The bounding box uses the same coordinates (though not stored the same way) but is used for mouse-hovering instead of map drawing. The texture for the overlay is split in a varying number of textures. Each texture can not exceed the size of 256x256. Therefore you can deduce the number of textures used with width and height. Textures are found in the zone directory which itself resides in the "Interface\WorldMap" directory. To the base texture name you have to append an 1-based index corresponding to the subtexture you are looking for. (e.g. "Interface\WorldMap\Tirisfal\Monastery1.blp" Here the zone directory is "Tirisfal", the base texture name is "Monastery", with subtexture index of 1) The Zone (World Map Area) where the overlay is used can be found in field 2. The Area corresponding to the overaly is referenced in field 3 (no real idea about 4-5-6 for now), meaning you can find its localized name. -- Sourcepeek.Wiki
