Hello! I recently made a Thread about my pet models, and thought hey, how about I create a Guide on making Pets? So I did. If there's already a guide like this I am sorry, Didn't see it.
I am going to be making a Imp-> Raptor as a Example.
Ok First Off Open MWCS, And open Common.MPQ , Or whatever you have. Then open CREATURE and It should look like this-
Then go down tell you find Imp. There should be Imp.m2. Right click it and click Copy Treepath. Open up a Notepad and Right click and Copy. Should Look like this-
Now go to your Wow Directory and Go to Data. Create a Folder Called Creature then a folder inside that called Imp. Like this-
Now go back to MWCS. Go down tell you find Raptor. Hit it then you will see Raptor.m2. Right click it and hit Extract File to.. And Find the Folder you created called Imp. Put the name Imp into the File name like this-
Then Save. Now go to Creature instead of CREATURE. And find Imp But this time it has a few files in there. Find The SkinBlack one. And do Copy treepath again and copy it into the Notepad. Like here-
Now go down to Raptor in Creature (not CREATURE) and there is a bunch of skins. Pick the skin you like the most (I pick the first one) and do Extract file to.... again and Find Imp Folder. Now put ImpSkinBlack into the File name. Like this-
Once this is Done go up and hit Pack->Create MPQ Archive. A Box will open, go to Wow Directory-> Data And in File name put Patch-7 or anything 4-9. Like this-
Now there will be a Blank Archive. Go up to Pack->Add file to Archive. A little Rectangle will open and you need to hit the ... like this-
Find Your Imp folder and find the Imp.M2. Hit open and you will now see this-
Go to your Notepad and find the Imp.M2 Path. Copy the front of it in front of the Small rectangle like this-
Now hit ok. Go back up and hit Pack->Add file... agian and find Imp if your not already on it. Click the ImpSkinBlack.blp and hit open. Just like before, Put CREATURE/Imp/ infront of the ImpSkinBlack.blp. Click Ok. Then go up to Pack and hit Save and close. Then close out of MWCS and Login to Wow, And wow its Magic! Your Imp is a Raptor!
Any Questions please post. If there is something I am missing please post that also.
Hope it helps some people! Thanks
