HOW TO MOVE FILES INTO A MPQ at the speed of light

[bloodofwar]

K guys heres a guide on how to make files go-out of the MPQ. Be changed into another file name, and go back into a MPQ w/o much hassle. Being a hardcore editor i have been playing around with alot of programs and i've seemed to find a favorite list for this paticular type of model change. They are

• Mywarcraftstudio
• MPQ Mater
• Bach renamer

The renamer is in the how to renamer files sticky post, and i wasnt quite sure what the name was. Mywarcraftstudio is easy enough to find, And MPQ Master is a google item (just search for MPQ Master on google) OK

Now heres the way to do this all in a breeze.

1. Pull up MPQ master
2. Go to the open sign at the top (or file open whatev)
3. Open the model.mpq
4. pull out the model that u want to be changed to
5. save it in a folder (warcraft, data, Character,Nightelf, Male- WHATEV
6. now on MPQ master open the texture.mpq
7. Take all the textures u want changed into
8. extract them all to the folder w/ model.
9. Once u are done pull up the renamer
10. open up all the files in the Male or Female folder
11. Change the thing u want changed into the thing u want changed 9(like change NE to Gnome)
12. Now the sad part that ruins it, pull up WoW studio and Create new MPQ
13. Now add one of the Gnome (for example) files just like u should in the old days b4 dis
14. ^^^i would suggest doing the model so u know ezly what not to add again later
15. Once all the folders are in there (and the model) open up MPQ master
16. btw u can close renamer
17. Now open up ur new MPQ and go to the LAST folder, should consist of a male or female folder
18. Add everything that's a male or female file in there (not the files that dont say male or female)
19. Now add all the files w/o male or female in the file b4 it (should be a Race)
20. Thats all, and if a problem occurs heres a FAQ/ troubleshooting guide

Q-I am having trouble figuring out what to do with the renamer
A- The easiest way is to go to How to rename files sticky post
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Q-I dont get what to do on step 13-15 please help!
A- on step 13 u simply open up a new MPQ, on 14 u have to add ONE file to that MPQ, and it has to be the model (we are still doing the folder b4 it, for instance Character\NightElf\Male\NightElf.m2) and step 15 was suggesting that u put in the model, just makes things a little easier.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Those are mainly the Questions i hear when i tell people about this. But if u have any other questions plz ask. If you are still having probs, i would check to see in MyWarcraftStudio that everything looks right. Most people know how a completed model edit looks like, and if somethings rong (File not in a folder or something) thats whats making the thing mess up.

HAVE FUN, HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP U GET BETTER AT EDITS!!!!!!

Nice Guide, it's probably for more advanced model changers instead of looking through the files to find what you need.

Nice guide +rep, btw i have problems converting Tauren male into Human male or any other race, models are always abit too big and with crapy helm graphics, what i'm doing wrong?:confused:

[bloodofwar]

dunno whats rong with models, the helm thing is random, happens to me sometimes. I would suggest trying the edit again, and if that doesnt work i dunno, sry man

[simmo]

I've had the helm problem 100% of the time. I've done UD to ORC, ORC to UD and Human to tauren. Helm bug always happends to me lol ;(

[The Doctor]

The helm "problem" is no problem at all, each helm model has an extension at the end such as _HuM.m2, which would signify it was for a Human Male, so if you changed a Human Male character into a Tauren Male character, then the game tries to place the model for the Human Male onto your new "Tauren".

Can be fixed using .dbc's if you look deeply into it.

EDIT :: This is a very easy .dbc change, I never really edit my character's race so basically what I said was from just knowledge of model edits, and therefore I attempted to do it myself, it's a very easy fix, I believe I may make a tut on it if anyone is interested.

Where were you find MPQ Mater.

[bloodofwar]

google MPQ master, ull find it

[Battlemidge]

I got everything, but now when i move them into an MPQ i have like 200 different .blp's. Is there an easier way to get them all in there then by doing them one at a time?

EDIT: Nvm, found it =D
