    Blood Elf and Draenei Skin Location?

    Recently I've been having an issue where Blood Elves and Draenei have green skin. OFC, Blizzard support did shit, so I'm taking it into my own hands. In order to do so, I needed to know the location of the skins of Draenei and Blood Elves, OFC Blizzard failed at helping again. So I come to you all. Exactly which data file are the skins in?

    All skins texture are in :
    CHARACTER\BloodElf
    and
    CHARACTER\Draenei
    in your common.mpq in your Data folder .
    In that folder, you choose another folder : Male or Female
    All textures of your characters are here (playable characters only) but Lower Face and Upper Face are 2 different files and there are some other independent files for underpants etc... So it will be complicated to edit all files corresponding to one specific character.

    BUT!
    I try to play with it a bit and I found that :
    CHARACTER\Draenei\Male\DraeneiMaleSkin00_13.blp
    is same skin-color that
    CHARACTER\Draenei\Male\DraeneiMaleNakedPelvisSkin00_13.blp
    (the first one is draenei male torso and face part, the second one is the underpants part)

    For face variations (there many face for the same skin color whereas there only one torso texture file for a skin color).
    So, the first number is corresponding to the face and the second number is corresponding to the skin color (also working with torso etc... as seen just before).
    CHARACTER\Draenei\Male\DraeneiMaleFaceLower01_13.blp

    Face are made in 2 files :
    CHARACTER\Draenei\Male\DraeneiMaleFaceLower01_13.blp <- lower part
    CHARACTER\Draenei\Male\DraeneiMaleFaceUpper01_13.blp <- upper part

    I advise you to use MyWarcraftStudio to compare skin colors with your character!
    You should temporary copy common.mpq to open the copy with MyWarcraftStudio and run the game in window mode to compare your character with textures in MyWarcraftStudio.
    (you have to copy because WoW data files are unavailable while the game is running)

    Tell me if you have another problem with your character skin.
    To edit the texture files, I advise you to use Photoshop, change Hue and Saturation and keep the same values.

    Could tell me too if your textures files are corrupted or if the problem seems to come from another bug ?
