[Question] Where am I going wrong?

[korric]

I've followed Lex's simple model edit guide to turn a gnome into the baby beholder thing, but when I put it into my patch and load it onto WoW, this is all I get

[Kykyske]

Messed up bro. Wish I knew how to fix it. Nobody ever responds on this board. Defeats the purpose of even having a request forum.

[korric]

well, thanks for replying anyway, shame you can't help :S
By the way, your name sounds familiar, do you play world of warcraft yourself? Because I know a warlock on my server called Kysuke

search for a dbc editing guide this will work 100% but you'll need some time to finish your work

[Glynbeard]

Yea, with that pic and the description you gave us, there is about 9000 ways you could have gone wrong. Delete the patch, start again but with a new guide and really take your time.

Im guessing that the .skin files are wrong...

[Tigurius]

98%: forgot to change skin and anim files.
1%: edited the anim files and made something wrong.
1%: you edited something else and made a mistake there.

[korric]

Well, thanks for all your ideas
Figured out how to do it and am trying to make myself a blood elf slave, here's a pic
yeah, so the problem is I've followed Reflex0zor's guide to model swapping exactly, and the model works but as you can see, it ain't textured and it's trying to use all of the hairstyles and stuff at the same time... but I'm sure you can see that from the picture
I owe a huge thanks to the person who can help me sort this problem, I want my Bloodelf Slave!

i think you cant change character 2 creature like char2char
there was a char 2 creature guide for beginners with a huge amount of colour used so maybe this will help you (should be in ~sinX sticky)

So yh i initially would have said .skin or .anim.
@ gimmevibratioj; yeah, u can.
Lookin at ur second pic, i'd say you most probs forgot to edit the .BLP files. As .DBC editing doesn't take into account race textures, only models (must in contrast to creatures). When race swapping via .DC variable editing you'll also have to go back and swap the .BLPs via MWCS through renaming files + repacking. Lex's guide should cover this :P
Gd Luck.
