[Showoff] My first reskin attempt

[Wrathraven]

I sure loved trying to figure this all out on my own xD Sure it was a pain, but it actually did come through at the end, once I figured out how to get the basic reskins to work. I thought all had been for naught for a while there, before I realized...I put the treepath in the wrong file. So I tried it again, and...





This reskin goes over the basic cougar/lion skin, like what you see in Barrens or Mulgore. I put it on a basic treepath so I'd be able to find the skin in-gam easier xD

Now all I need to do is figure out how to put this cougar model into the tauren druid file so I don't get that dumb horned cat, edit this up a tad so it looks more clean, and I'll have this for a cat form Of course, easier said than done...I'll figure it out somehow.

I see nothing. Try posting it again.

The pictures aren't working for you? o_o Maybe I should put up the links...

Nice reskin, I like the markings.

Yeah I know what you mean about figuring it out by yourself. I actually did the same just switched the cat form for the northrend worgen model.

If you wanna make this model your cat form there are 2 ways to do it as far as I know. One way involves switching the model codes using DBC editor which could be complicated. Or you could do it the simpler way, which is actually more basic. Locate the Taurendruidcatform (I think that's what it's called) folder and copy down all the names of the files in it. Then, locate the cat folder and extract those files. Rename them to the druid form file names such as: (Cat.M2 -> taurencatform.M2) and so on and so forth. Use the correct treepath, save it as a patch (patch-x.MPQ) and you're good to go.

Nice reskin, I think there's kind of a FF feeling over it :P

If you wish, you can send me the file at my MSN IM, and I can compile the tauren druid cat form with your skin for you.
MSN -> [email protected]

Looks awesome btw.

I followed your instructions, and had to make the MPQ twice. The first time, it kept kicking me off whenever I logged in. Now, when I login, and am in cat form, I get 'locked' to the game: I can't move the screen, my chara turns invisible (the cat won't show up) and am unable to even look around or anything until I morph back out. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? (I greatly appreciate the help, by the way ^.^)

Very nice. Consider a bear-type of retexture as well?

Hmmm, ok I know what your talking about, happened to me a couple of times too but I have no idea why. Either some of the files were misspelled or the MPQ needs to be renamed "patch-(number).MPQ" or "patch-(capital letter).MPQ". Try it again, if it doesn't work this time send me the skin and I'll do it for you myself

EDIT: Wrathraven I can't send you a PM since I haven't been busy posting on the site :S

Good work for your first ever reskin.
I remember mine being far simpler and still having struggled with it for days.

[Roffle]

Very cool a unique markings, very nice job!

If i gotta be honest, i don't like it that much :/ but that's just me, but still nice for being your first time i guess ^^ i would want to begin model editing, but i don't understand anything about it hahah
