[Guide] Change Hair Color

[Vika]

Ok so i've decided to post a quick easy Guide on how to change your hair color (for the newbie model editers including me )

In this example i will change the hair color of my Dwarf (orange) into the hair color of a Night elf (white)


Program you need:

My Warcraft studio

step one :

Open up your MWCS and open the file Common.mpq



step two:
go to the ''Character'' Folder and select your race
(not the one you modelchanged into if you have done so)
and scroll down till you find the files called Hairxx_xx.blp



step three:

Select the file that matches your original hair color and right click ''Copy threepath''


step four:

Select the file that has the Hair color you want to change into and right click extract file to ( I extracted it to Data folder to keep it simple)
NOTE: just look for the hair color file of any race you want your original hair color be changed into (i take for example the white NE hair color )



step five :

Go to ''Pack'' and select ''Create new MPQ Archive'' and name it Patch-h.mpq or however you want, Click Ok.



step six:

Go to ''Pack'' and select ''Add new file to Archive'' you will see a little window that says ''input the pathname of the file to be'' , click on the ''...'' at the right of the window and select the hair you extracted in step four.



step seven:

select the file name and put the Filename of your current hair color in it (just press ctrl+v) and Click Ok.



Go to Pack ''Save and Close Archive , log on WoW and enjoy your New Hair Color

This is my First post , i tried to keep my Guide simple.

Cheers
