[Discussion] Reskinning dead in wotlk.

LODs are for bones, not meshes. Anyways, thanks for sharing this info with the rest of the community.

Oi. Thanks. Wasn't thinking. I only need the mesh data for what I'm doing with the m2s, that's why I was thinking of meshes, not bones. You're right though.

Here's the .skin header

struct SkinHeader {
unsigned int Padding;
unsigned int nIndices;
unsigned int ofsIndices;
unsigned int nTriangles;
unsigned int ofsTriangles;
unsigned int nProperties;
unsigned int ofsProperties;
unsigned int nSubmeshes;
unsigned int ofsSubmeshes;
unsigned int nTextureUnits;
unsigned int ofsTextureUnits;
unsigned int LODDistance;
}

struct Submesh {
unsigned int ID;
unsigned short StartingVertex;
unsigned short nVertices;
unsigned short StartingTriangle;
unsigned short nTriangles;
unsigned short nBones;
unsigned short StartingBones;
unsigned short Unknown;
unsigned short RootBone; // ?
float Position[3]; // ?
float Floats[4];
}

There are 3 structs in between with 1 field, 3 fields, 1 field respectively. The first structs have fields of type unsigned short and the third struct contains an unsigned int. They shouldn't be needed though.

Are there any other questions regarding M2s in WotLK?

I have a question not related to WoW:
Who are you?

[kitteh]

Who are you?

I'm new here... What exactly do you mean?

I'm new here... What exactly do you mean?

I mean, who are you? You seem to know what you're doing, so did you come from another forum? I swear I've seen your name somewhere before... Maybe in IRC? Not sure :S

It's my job to know what I'm doing.

so did you come from another forum?

No, I don't usually hang around in forums.

I swear I've seen your name somewhere before... Maybe in IRC? Not sure :S

This is impossible. I picked the name because it doesn't tell anything and I only use it here. So anyone you might have seen with that name is not me.

Anyway, who I am or not am isn't important. As you said, I know what I'm doing and I'll do my best to answer questions about the Model format used in WotLK.
