Okay .. brand new to model editing, and I decided that before I get all insane on the "art" part of a model change, I would try to just see if I could get a model to "swap" .. but I am having a problem and need some community help, please.
Okay .. so I wanted to change TaurenMaleCheetah model to a deer. So .. to do this the simple way I went and downloaded Andrige's Cheetah file (As it was already it's owen seprate MPQ file) and would be a great starting point for a complete newby.
So First off here is what I hope to achieve.
So I open MWS, go to edit MPQ, and open the MPQ I want to edit. after much fooling around I finally manage to extract the .blp(skin) I want, and the "Deer.m2" files from the common, and common2 files.
Then I remove the "Old" cheetah art, and put in the Deer.blp, and Deer.m2 and rename them appropriately to "TigerSkinYellow.bpl, and m2" Like so....
So .. "Seems" like it was a good plan. (remove old info, replace with new info) .. but no .. this is what I get now.
Lol.. a Deer skinned cat. Can anyone out there offer up what I did wrong, and perhaps give me a bit of insight as to how I would get the Deer, it's correct model frame, and Animations in there? .. :P .. thanx in advance.
