More than one blp?

[Belchy]

Hey =)

I now have tried a lot of changing my pets model and texture, so I can see them as a panda or as Anub'rekan. And it works
But there is still one problem left, I can't solve on my own.

If I want to change my Parrot into Grobbolus I always see there more than one blp.
I tried renaming the two into "ParrotSkinOrange1.blp" and "ParrotSkinOrange2.blp".
After starting WoW, my Parrot had the model of Grobbolus. But there where u expect to be the first texture of Grobbolus, you can see the parrot's texture. And the part of the model where the second texture obvisusly should be is white


Can anyone of you tell me, how to rename the files or what to do with them to change a "only one blp"-texture und a "more than one blp" -texture?
Is there something I have to pay attention at?

There is a way around this, don't know it though.

you have to edit the DBC files, I wish I knew how. I have been doing model chainging for a long time now, the only thing I dont know how to do is add another blp file.

I can even change entire instances but I dont know how to add another blp : /

[Belchy]

Well, I don't no anything about DCB files. Not even how to edit them Oo

But I just read somewhere, that u have to adjust the pathes of the 2 blp's.
Unfortunately I have no clue how to do this. Cause if u try to name the the files equal, u get an error of course.

Isn't there anyone out there, who knows how to do this? :P

Yea, there are people who know how to do this. Its rather simple. You guys are certainly on the right track. I dont support complete spoonfeeding so I cant really tell you straight forward but i can certainly hint. If you are smart enought to get to gm island.. (See sticky in MC forum) then this should be cake.

As for the hints: #1) Creatures and Items have .dbc files. Investigate them.

#2) Don't rename the textures you want to add like you would in normal model changing. This should eliminate the having two .blps with the same name.

#3) Search for what you have not what you want in almost all cases, and take close notes.

Best of luck, Hope someone catches it from my hints=)

Good post. +rep

[Belchy]

Thanks very much =)

I hope I can work with these hints.

But the problem is, I haven't found a DBC file editor yet. So if someone has a dowloadlink to it, please post it here =)

And of course +rep for this post

[SomethingCool525]

Wowdev.org, go there and look at the two catagories. One certainly should catch your eye.

http://wowdev.org/wiki/index.php/DbcEditor

Or that if you dont care enough to browse the site =)

Again best of luck,

thank first of all to all of u guys.

I downloaded the editor and well, I think now I know how to do solve the problem with 2 blp's.
Changing my T2 into T3 by using the dbc file was pretty easy :P

Rest will come soon

[Demonkunga]

Ill have to check this out. Maybe when I get home today.

[SomethingCool525]

Wowdev = teh Mazing.

Yea its a great one to start with, requires a bit of learning, but isnt too rough.

Something I suggest any "Core" modelchanger get is TextureMaker3 it Roxxors.

[Belchy]

If you now how to do, its pretty simlpe I've to admit^^

[SomethingCool525]

Awesome! Im very glad you learned it instead of noobing it up and downloading something. Great job. /tear i am so proud:P

[Belchy]

one problem left -.-

when I'm walking around with my char, the hippogryph appears and disappears whenever it wants...sometimes only for a short moment, but also for some seconds.
Moving the camera doesn't help :/

Anyone a clue how to fix this?

[SomethingCool525]

Hmm, not something i have seen yet. I have however seen the issue of Everything mobwise turning green. But nothing of the sort you described. Try just redoing the dbc change with the dbc.mpq, and one of the patch.mpq > DBFilesClient and see if that changes anything. Other than that im leading you blindly.
