Extremely noob question (applying reskins)

[linkfreak64]

Hey... how exactly do I go about reskinning models like the ones provided on this site? I have downloaded the patch-x.mpq file, and when i drop it into the data folder it does nothing. Is there a program i need? If so, where can I download it?

.MPQ must be uppercase i think

[linkfreak64]

It is. The patch itself is called patch-z.MPQ, so do i need to rename it to something first? It's for female blood elf, it that helps at all

Capitalize the "Z"

[linkfreak64]

Alright I capitalized it and now when i go to my character the screen is completely black. This happens on the character creation screen for blood elves too.

Do you have any other ones name "patch-Z.MPQ" ?

[linkfreak64]

Nope, I don't

[thijsd]

Try naming it Patch-3.MPQ?
And clear your WoW cache

[linkfreak64]

Still nothing :/
The patch I'm using is http://www.mmowned.com/forums/simple...delves-v3.html , and when i put it in the data folder and rename it, I see the bottom half of the character, and the rest of the body is all stretched and skewed all over the place.
