Model Edit Question - Model turn out GREEN in game?

[jho369]

So, after a lot of success yesterday, I tried out converting my NELFfemale into Pandarenmonk. I did everything, even double checked the skin but there isn't a skin for the Pandarenmonk. The padarenmonk ID is 3214 so I put that in Field one under ID 56 (NELFFEMALE) and I put pandarenmonk in field 6 and 7. Is there a trick to this to make it show up what it supposed to in WoW?

The only thing I can think of is that the pandarenmonk is actually a pet so when switching it to player size, the texture get lost? maybe? HELP?

Uhm, I guess you didn't change some of the skins in the CreatureDisplayInfo correctly.
You need to change the value of the Creature Skin ID, in this case 56, to 3214.

You also need the skin file, its like PANDASUPERMANOMG in field 5 I believe. (this is not a real skin file, skin files can be found in creature\ in some of the patch files.

I think the panda one shows no skin file in the dbc, but you gotta find the corresponding skin to it.

In other words, add the blp texture.

Yea, I did change the ID like I would on other model edit.

Is it weird to have wow model viewer view the pandarenmonk correctly and when put that in game it is not?

Now I have to go find out how to do the blp texture.


Another question to this, hopefully you can help.

Is there a way to get a model only? For an example, I would use lady sylvana model but not her clothes, but she would have whatever gears I have on applied to her model in game automatically?

Its also possible your texture file is bigger then intended. That is the #1 cause of the green display error.

That happened to me a lot as well, Some models dont have skins displayed.
like for example:

cat catskinblack01 that would be one with a skin.

cat _____ would be one without a skin.

what you would do for the blank skin field is take the (cat) original name and place that in the skin field. so it would look something like this.

Example:

cat cat


I hope i explained that good enought ( kinda suck at explaining things)
Just a refreshment, the creature without a skin, just use the name of that model and it should work. altho there are some cases where it wont but this one should work.

this way works for me, so idk....


Now for the resizing the pet to human size, that might be the problem. Ive never tried a pet before so i cant actually tell you but if the way i told you works while u resized the pet then there you go but, I think thats your problem tho.

so using model viewer it says pandarenmonk but the name is actually pandaren...weird. works like a charm.
