[Request] "Nature form" instead of moonkin

[Xivix]

Hello guys!
i'm playing my moonkin for quite a while now but i absolutely hate that fat ugly owl!
So my idea is a kind of "nature form" like the shadow form a shadow priest.
When I shapeshift, I want to remain in tauren form and i wanted to know if it is possilbe to add a 'green' glow/aura effect like the blue one of the shadow form.
Would be awesome if somebody could help me

there is an M2 natureform spell file, but it doesn't add transperancy. and its a bit slow.

Doesn't look very nice either.

Nice idea, but I can't help ^^

I suggest you try shadowform, and edit it's colour.

[Xivix]

I found a very good alternative to the normal shadowform.
The skull of Gul'dan has an use effect where you transform into a green "shadowform" that looks quite cool!
Here is an armory link to the trinket, perhaps it helps The World of Warcraft Armory

So could anybody create the file so that I transform to this Trinketform instead of the moonkin form?
Would be awesome and thx for your effort!

Since moonkin form is technically a spell, you might be able to change the spell of Moonkin Form to that of the Skull's effect.

Easy way would be Glitchy's MES.

Spell codes are:
Moonkin: 24858
Skull: 40396

So you'd change 24858 to 40396, save it as an MPQ, and load up with WoWMe

Give it a shot and lemme know how it works.

I can't get it to work
I don't know if it is my fault (it's my first time i try modelchange) or if your solution doesn't work.
So here is what i have done so far:
-I installed 2.0 DotNet
-I downloaded Glitchy's MES and installed it
- used the Spell Swapper with the numbers u gave me
- saved the natureform.mpq in /data folder
- downloaded and extracted wowme
- opened wowme.cfg, deleted what was in there and put natureform.mpq in it
- started wowme.exe and pressed F8 and logged in
- cast moonkin form and still have this fat ugly owl

So any idea what went wrong?

[Mirranda]

my guess is one of two things.

either 1) the spell of mookin form is only the actual "change" to moonkin form (i.e. the puff of smoke) which would occur in such a short amount of time that it doesn't do anything, or 2) you skipped a step.

Did you make sure to copy your natureform.mpq into the Data folder? Did you spell it the same in wowme.cfg?

If it's not one of those two things, then you'd have to change the actual model of the moonkin form to be that of another form. However, I'm not sure that you can change a model to a spell graphic, and if you can, it may be above my knowledge of model editing at that point.

[Xivix]

checked point 1) and saw that the puff of smoke is still there
I also checked all the steps, also no typing error. Perhaps the .MPQ has to be in capital letters?
what about the # in the wowme.cfg? i left it out, there's just natureform.mpq in my wowme.cfg
The natureform.mpq is in /WOW/Data/natureform.mpq the wowme.cfg is in /WOW/wowme.cfg
I also noticed that when i do not press f8, i get a message that tells me to visit a help site, so unfortunately sth is working ^^
So any more suggestions?

[XFiFiX]

Give me a sec, I'll see if I can make ya up a mpq real fast
EDIT: Working, the glow shows etc,
but you are a moonkin with the glow.
I can change the model, but WHAT do you want me to change it to?

[Xivix]

Well, i don't like the moonkin form, so a glowing moonkin doesn't really help

I'll will explain again what i'm thinking of:
When i shift to moonkin form, i want to stay in caster form but i want the caster form to glow green, like you do when the Skull of Gul'dan trinket is activated.
So it is qiute similar to the shadowform machanic of the priest class.

[Xivix]

hm, i tried to swap moonkinform to shadowform via spellswap 24858 to 15473 and it also doesn't work

[Aznex]

dont save it as natureform.mpq but something as patch-#.MPQ
# being 1-9 or a-z

[Xivix]

thx Vinyl, i finally got it to work, but now I have the same result as Xfifix.

When i shapeshift, I shift into a green glowing moonkin, but i wanted to switch to a green glowing caster form.
I want to get rid of the moonkin form completely, I just want my casterform to glow green.

Has anybody an idea how to fix the problem that it still switches to moonkin form instead of staying in caster form and glow green?

[Xivix]

hm, technically it works exactly like the shadow form except that the animation is 40396 instead of 15473. So how can I avoid that i still switch to moonkinform instead of remaining in casterform like you do when using shadowform?

[warsheep]

Err... I dunno about this, but what about changing the moonkin model into your normal model..?

Err... I dunno about this, but what about changing the moonkin model into your normal model..?

i have seen several posts about that and im unsure if it can be done. i even want it too :P
