[Request] Mutilate Animation

[Jarrito]

Hello,

I just resently changed my model from a Female Night Elf to an Male Scourge. And for some reason instead of doing the mutilate animation, it does the animation a Skeleton would do when you use a Noggenfogger:confused:. If someone could please help me with fixing this problem of mine, by giving me a patch for it or showing me how to replace the animation, it would be great. +Rep

Use Glitchy's MES to swap the animation or do a DBC edit. I'm pretty sure that there is a guide on this.

Also, you are unable to give rep at this time. Please get 5 posts before offering rep.

I havent been able to figure out how to do this using Glitchys. Theres an option for mutilate from the current animation but couldnt find it to the swapped in the Animation Swapper utility. As for just using the changed m2 file, it doesn't seem to be in there either :/. Been looking for a way to do this since 2.4, bump.

Animations are kept in a dbc file. I can help you more later if you want.

Ive downloaded Glitchys MES, but still can't figure it out. Sorry for being such a noobie at this :confused: . Maybe someone could show me exactly how to work the Animation Editor In Glitchys MES. I would greatly appriciate it

Yeah i cant figure out how to do it in Glitchys either. Im not too keen on DBC edits, wouldnt even know where to start :|

Shameless bump

*EDIT* Use Trikz method below, seems much much less painful :P

Finally figured it out. Not sure if this would apply to others having this problem, pretty nub of myself to not realize why this was happening.

I was using the troll to ud edit from this post. I opened up the first mpq file containing the renamed m2, then opened that up in Glitchys M2 Viewer. I realized that it did not have Mutilate in the animations, the last one was Dragon Stomp. Before the patch, the way that i changed the mutilate animation after the edit was just make another MPQ with the renamed m2(ScourgeMale renamed TrollMale) from patch2.mpq. Im not sure what exactly changed, but i guess it would take the first MPQ you had in your data folder with the new races m2 and disregard any others. I just deleted the old MPQ from the original race edit(the one containing the renamed m2 file) and packed a new MPQ with an older renamed m2 that had the Mutilate animation in it.

Sorry if this seems confusing, i suck at explaining. Unfortunately since the patch I was still unable to find any race m2 with the mutilate animation still in it, or the whereabouts of a seperate m2 that included the animation per race. I used an older m2 that i had from my previous mutilate animation fix when i pulled it out of patch-2 a while back when it had the m2s with the animations in them. All i can provide is the m2 for people editing to Scourge Male from their original model.

patch-M.MPQ

In its current form if you replace this MPQ with the MPQ in your race edit containing just the m2 file, it'll edit Troll Male to Scourge Male as well as mutilate animation(still need the other MPQ file from the first link, it has the blp's).

For other races that are editing to Scourge Male, just open the MPQ file in MWCS, extract the m2 file and rename it to your Original race(ie NIGHTELF, Human, etc), then create a new MPQ and pack that m2 with the tree "CHARACTERS\OriginalRace\OriginalGender\Renamedm2"

Not 100% it'll work for all as Ive seen some edits were packed together with the m2 and the blps files. This was just the way i finally got it to work for me. Again, sorry if i suck at explaining, if you have trouble shoot me a pm and i'll try to explain it directly for your race to scourge male.

Also what i found was that if you made your own race to race conversion with glitchy's suite, it already contained the mutilate animation when i did fem human---> Male UD. Just if anyone wanted to know ^_^
