face edit, excel?!

[Gabbabobgabgab]

first, sry for my bad english, i hope it wont kill u

my question is, is it possible to change the face of an allready edited character (like if you make a new character)?

i found this guide;
e: cant post links...

and i understand most of it but... do you really need excel to edit faces?
is it possible to search the different types of faces in one of the .mpq folders, create a new .mpq and replace the old data with which you want?
(i hope this sentence was understandable...)
for example the model edit DwM->NeF, open the .mpq, extract, rename and make a new .mpq, does it works for faces too?

the face of my new nightelf is just ugly as hell *lol*

e: ok i found some FaceUpper0x_0x.blp and FaceLower0x_0x.blp in the common.MPQ
via modelviewer i managed do identify which constellation of numbers (0x_0x) are for the face/hairtype/haircolour
i extracted the nightelf FaceUpper and Lower with the numbres i wanted, renamed them (NightElfFemaleFaceLower... > DwarfMaleFaceLower...) and put them in a new patch-X.MPQ file
aaaand... it didn't work :|
what did i wrong? maybe everything :3?
its just that i do this .mpq editing the first time

why would you switch it to a dwarf face? did you follow this tutorial? http://www.mmowned.com/forums/model-...race-race.html

well my idea is: switch the face of my dwarf, that will cause to switch the face type of the NE automatically too, i hope you understand me :3

well i will try it with the guide you linked me, thanks

e: ok i did read the guide you linked me, and this guide is telling me how to switch the model
but i all ready switched my dwarf into a nightelf (look at post 1)
i just want to know if it is possible to change the face of my original character :/
cant imagine that my english is SO not-understandable

oh i think i see what you are trying to do now. is this what you did?

EX: you did the model swap, you swapped in a face you dont like, so you change the "DwarfMaleFaceLower" face that is really a renamed NE face, and you take a different NE face that you want and rename it to "DwarfMaleFaceLower".

[Gabbabobgabgab]

exactly

but it didn't work
i replace the FaceUpper and FaceLower .blp, maybe i forgot some other .blp's?

[supadots]

did it stay the same or just look messed up?

[Gabbabobgabgab]

it stay the same, the dwarf face doesn't change (and the NE face too)
e: ah ok i changed the face of my dwarf! but the NE face stayed the same <.<
e2: AAAH after a lot of hours of work i managed it to switch the face of my nightelf, learning by doing *lol*
now there is only the problem with the pet

e: ok this time i tryed to edit my gorilla hunter pet into a abyssal fire elemental
first try: the gorilla model turned crazy (totaly broken) BUT it had the fire effekt of the abyssal, great
second try: the model didn't change, so its again a couple of lines BUT it had the colour of the abyssal WITH the fire effekt
third try: i searched for EVERY abyssal/gorilla .blp (from common.mpq an common-2.mpq) and .m2 files, extracted them, renamed them and put in a new .mpq = i got my gorilla looking normal again without the colour or the fire effekts of the abyssal...

damn im just to stupid for that sh*t ...

e: ah finally i did... but the feet and the hand of the abyssal are white (without texture) and i don't know how to change it
because the gorilla has only one GorillaSkinGrey.blp, the abyssal has 2! (InfernalSkin_Outland.blp / InfernalSkin_Outland_02.blp, that would explain the white feet/hand because i only copied InfernalSkin_Outland.blp)
to copy the InfernalSkin_Outland_02.blp into the new .mpq i need a second GorillaSkinGrey.mpq which doesn't exist...
