    Changing the DBC would probably work: DBFilesClient\CharSections.dbc - WoWDev

    You could also find your skin color in Common.MPQ and rename the skin color that you like to your skin color. You could probably also make a custom skin color if you wish, but that would be a bit more complicated.

    Excellent, worked like a charm thanks! ^^ +Rep


    I also have another question, how would I go about changing my character's facial features?

    I believe that it is again under the same DBC: DBFilesClient\CharSections.dbc - WoWDev

    Look for facial hair/decoration on that DBC page. If that doesn't work, I can help you further when I get home from vacation (I get home tomorrow, but probably won't be on MMOWNED until Sunday). Hope you can figure it out.

    Couldn't make too much sense out of it. If I have Facial Feature 0 and want to change that to 4, what would I do?

    You open CharacterFacialHairStyles.dbc and look for the facial feature style you would like to have. It's a number on the third column. So in this case, you look for the number 4 of your race and gender. The first colum is race, second gender (0 for male, 1 for female). I'll put a list of races below. Once you've found it, look at the seventh column and write down the geoset number. Then find the facial feature style your character has, in this case 0, and change the seventh colum to the geoset number you wrote down earlier. Then just save the file and pack it into an mpq (into the DBFilesClient folder of course), that's it.

    1 Human
    2 Orc
    3 Dwarf
    4 Night Elf
    5 Undead
    6 Tauren
    7 Gnome
    8 Troll
    10 Blood Elf
    11 Draenei
    </div>

    Still didn't work for me, there's 3 fields of geosets and editing the field 7 one didn't have any change.

    Did you edit the file with DBC Editor (the one that has a grey radiation icon)? If yes, then don't get confused by the fieldX it has there. Seventh column in it is field6, so that's where you'll find the geoset

    Heh still no dice using field 6 :X

    I did notice that several of the geoset numbers were the same, does something else need to be edited?

    Not that I know of. It should work by doing what I described earlier. I'll see if I can do it for you. I'm going to assume you're playing ud male as your profile says :P

    EDIT: Yeah, it works if you don't count the fact that there's obviously a texture from the face missing which can be fixed with blp swapping or by editing CharSections.dbc. (The ones you need to add/modify are the "facial hair" textures)

    EDIT2: Try this RapidShare Webhosting + Webspace

    Hehe I wanted this for my human male -> undead male conversion, sorry about that :X

    I assume in that you would edit the human male facials to another human facial?

    Actually, in that case, I would think you need to take the geoset from the undead and place it on the human facial feature style.
