Help getting back into Model Editing

[Ankus]

Hello

I've had a break from wow for a while, but when I was playing (around the 2.4 patch) I was a pretty ok model editor, and now ive started to play again, and i would like to get back into model editing.

So, the problems i have are:

* My warcraft studio crashing when i press a random .m2 file

I've tried it on both XP and vista, and newest version etc, but nothing seem to work... should i try reinstall wow, or is this some kind of known error?

* Having problem with using Glitchy's program is that the models are all screwed up, like this one:
(And yes, i know how Glitchy's work, ive done it before, and it all looks correct)

Thanks!

a. Delete M2Craft.dll to fix the m2 crashing problem in MWS
b. What version of WoW are you using?

EDIT: Oh, nvm... didn't look at the picture. Anyways, do what schlumpf says below.

[schlumpf]

Copy .skins too.

It worked, thanks a lot

[Ankus]

Yes, now My warcraft studio doesn't crash, but i would like to see the .m2's and avoid the crash, as it used to be... if anyone know how to fix it, please tell me.

And another problem i have is with Wow model viewer, i cant watch anything their either, and i have the newest version etc... damn this is anoying.

[schlumpf]

You can't see them. And on the modelviewer: You have the latest official version. That one has been for 2.*. Search their forums for a new one.

[Yamachi]

To embellish on what Schlumpf said, search for a guy named "chuanhsing" on the wowmodelviewer forums. He's working on a 3x/WotLK-compatible WMV.

To make it even easier, you should check [1].

[Yamachi]

lol, always have to do 1 better, huh schlumpfy? :P <3

[schlumpf]

Oh yeah. Yeah. YEAH. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I'm finished.

[Ankus]

Thanks to all of you, the model viewer worked, and now i finally managed to change weapon / armor once again

Now, my last question is: How do i change race to race when there is no (as far as i know) .skin for them?

[schlumpf]

If there is no .skin, it can't exist.

[suran37]

so currently no one can open .m2 files in warcraft studio? it crashes me when i do

[schlumpf]

Of course you can. oO The part with viewing them was on outdated versions of the modelviewer. Delete the MWCS's M2Craft.dll.
