Disconnect when swimming

[kiraveli]

Well unable to find anything about this or my last question.

Hope someone knows!

I recently made a really nice TaF -> ScM ME
and I love the thing but I discovered I DC if I try to swim. I have to remove the edit, log in, take myself out of the water and then put it back and log in again.
So currently I am a Druid terrified of water :P

I had issues with trying to ME an orc to nelf so I'm thinking somehow I messed something up extracting the files with MWCS. I'll see if that is the problem -_-

Nothing new under the sun - this happens to a lot of people using Race Swaps. A trick to avoid this is by race swapping via DBC Editing rather than .m2 renaming.
The following guides revolve around the problem you are currently enduring:

• Character -> <- Creature Swapping (Display ID Changing, DBC Editing):

{Thsi blatantly awesome guide focuses on variable-editing within Database Caches (.DBC), and goes into superb detail whilst including all the necesities for newbs to follow. 100% Awesome, 60% Noob-Friendly.}

{This guide focuses on the exact same topic at the guide above, however, it does use a seperate technique (Converting to .CSV in order to edit in a program such as .Excell.) Both guides are brilliantly written - therefore, Learners will have to discover which one of the two suits them the most. 100% Awesome, 55% Noob-Friendly.}

Geosets:

{The above guide includes a base explanation on how to 'null'-out Geosets within .m2, .skin and .anim files. 25% Noob-Friendly.}

Whilst reading the guide revolving around Character -> <- Creature, merely relate it to Character Dispaly IDs rather than Creature Dispaly IDs.
Good Luck.

I'm repping you because you're so helpful I could hug you. And I will. /HUG
It's tricky trying to figure all this out, hopefully I'll get it in the future.
Faction change is nice and all but what if you're on the right side and hate your race? Gotta keep doing MEs..

I followed this guide exactly, was far more simple than the others but I don't think it works any longer. After the patch the original MPQ I had gave that colums error where it said unexpected number of colums or something along those lines.
Will try the others, if not I guess I just can't swim!

Yeah tried the second guide as well, this time just got a plain error with the DBCfile I edited.

The third guide though, not sure how that will help with fixing swimming, he said he deleted wings, so I'm confused.
