newby editor

[happyfrietie]

Hello, I started my own model editing since I was really tired always asking other people - and I couldn't download them here yet since I don't have the +5 rep :P

Sooo...
my question is, I have succesfully been model editing but always with the same problem... the head always shows no tusks, horns... whatever but it's blanc instead, anyone knows how to fix this ? So I could make more and maybe help other people needing them.

programs i am using : MyWarCraftStudio + DBC Editor + wowmodelview

You're having these problems with race/gender swaps, right? I had this problem when I first got into ME'ing. As far as I know, this is the result of your character having facial feature values with the new race/gender lacking an equivalent for that value. I'm not sure what has changed since I wrote this guide, but it should work with any swap. Though you'll need to figure out what you need to fill in where I talk about changing the value to "2, 3 or 4." I think I got those values from model viewer. Also note that you'll need the most up-to-date DBC, which might not be in the mpq I'm talking about in the guide.

Hey, it wouldn't be fun if you didn't get to experiment, right?

Can't see any links remember? :P though I havent seen your guide yet ^^ I just saw a youtube vid and tried stuff myself, maybe if I can find your post i'll read it

and idd, to walk around as illidan is fun for a change =P
but the gender / race change needs abit more expirimenting

saw your guide, but while extracting CharacterFacialHairStyles.dbc and opening it with DBC i get this error :

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Wait, you were changing your character into a creature? In that case you just need to copy all the right textures. Were you doing it through DBC? Because that's how you should be doing it.

[happyfrietie]

No No - I changed my race from draenei to troll
used this way [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvjGIILHaYU"]YouTube- How to model edit wow 3.3[/ame]
but enoying always getting that error when i want to change the features like horns or hair

[Grymskvll]

I don't know if you've noticed but that's a guide for changing characters into creatures. Of course it wont work for char>char.

[happyfrietie]

but it did work - simply used the code for a trollmale
there should be a way to edit the hair / tusks aswell

thought maybe a more experienced editor would know a way :P

[Grymskvll]

The reason you've got no hair or tusks or specific facial features or anything is because you only swapped the model and (I'm guessing) one texture. Just do it the hardcore way and swap all the blp's.

[happyfrietie]

myeh ok :P just wanted to try out a really simple version ^^

[Toyoka]

Nothing is as simple as it seems
