[Race Swap] Night Elf to High Elf (Complete)

[omgpielol]

well,pretty cool.

[-DC-]

there is a complete set of race conversion mods elsewhere on these forums:

forums/model-editing/62242-race-edits-every-race-race-conversion.html

(sorry, can't make that a link because i'm new here)

i tried to use this to accomplish my dream of complete gnomish genocide (did i just say that?), but it leaves such unfortunate scars as gnomish facial hair and (worst of all!) gnomish voices. "my, you're a tall one!" is like nails on a chalkboard.

what you're doing here looks much more thorough, much more complete--no offense to the guy who put together the comprehensive list of conversions--so i'm really hoping that you put together the gnome-to-high elf conversion soon (or that the folks at blizzard cave and make high elves a new alliance player race, though that seems unlikely).

i would love to offer to help, but i'm completely new to modding. i just downloaded WoWME last night and know nothing of coding. still, if there is something i can do to rid azeroth of gnomes, please let me know.

thanks!

what does (Open the WoWME.cfg and add in one line the exact file name of the downloaded race change file - eg. "HighElfNE.mpq" (Without the quotations)
mean?

Great +Rep

[Magnustheblack]

also how do i open the WoWME.cfg?

[cloudie]

think you could do a NeM > HeF for me? ><

Nice Sig Silence

Magnus, the cfg file (when installed correctly) is located in your main WoW folder.
To edit it, just open it with notepad.

what does (Open the WoWME.cfg and add in one line the exact file name of the downloaded race change file - eg. "HighElfNE.mpq" (Without the quotations)
mean?

Once open just add the full filename to it (including the .mpq) and remember to use a new line for each additional MPQ file you plan to use.

As for this thread, I finally got a replacement CPU. And with that I also plan to make both Dwarf and Gnome into High Elves.
Regarding gender changes, never done one. ever - So I'll have to learn it or if you feel confidant enough, you can edit the downloaded file.

Noodle 2 rep from me just because Im listening to the Song Noodles on my back

@Noodel
Thank you SO much on that. It was taking me forever to figure that out

doesn't work with 2.4 by me :<

[kingdante87]

I wish it didn't require MEFix.... if it was just a drop and go I'd download it in an instant. I'd make every one of my characters into high elves.

So running it with Chaz's MEF wouldn't work?

His doesn't include a cfg file, but works with all model changes I've done thus far on live.

EDIT: This seems to be the case. I attempted to try the Night Elf to High Elf conversion and I received an error regarding the dbc files - the same error mentioned above for one person who didn't have an MEF.

it doesnt work with 2.4 as soon as i open wowME it'll just give a black screen close wow... please help! i miss my high elf!

[Veruzer]

Awesome, love it

The 2.4 issues stems from internal conflicts - I've recreated my original files in an attempt to remedy the issue.

So far it's working, I'll have to remake all other race changes as well.
The bonus will be the inclusion of some 'special' customisations.

Stay tuned as I'll hopefully have the new files ready to go by next week.
