Bald --> Not Bald

[Citrus]

I have a 70 Troll Shaman, thing is he's butt ugly, now trolls are ugly by themselves but he's also bald which makes him 1. Really ugly and 2. Almost impossible to change into something else without it being bald to.

Now I found the thing to give trolls shoes, figured there might be a way to give bald characters hair but I've never seen it.

WTB Rogaine. :P

how exactly do you give trolls shoes? ^^
i would realy appreciate you sharing that ;P

edit: oh yeah, and my male troll mage is also bald, i recently change my troll model to a udead female, wich ended up bald, and no shoes on :/

chrraces.dbc:
ID, 12, ...

ID -> raceid.
12 -> shoes.

thanks for the tip
however, i took the chrraces.dbc out of the locale-xxXX.mpq file, converted it to a cvs file, used CVSed to edit the shoes property from the colum with the id 8(troll), save it, converted it back to a dbc, and then i used mpqmaster to include it into another patch file. For some reason wow crashes at startup, or, if i try to use the MPQfix thingie, it hungs up, what can i do? and about the bald thing, is there anything i can do to change it?

thanks

charhairgeosets.dbc:
ID, RACEID, gender (0 male 1 female), ID2, hairstyleid, bald (0-< not)

change hairstyleid or id2 for your raceid-gender combo. be sure you use existing values!

change hairstyleid or id2 for your raceid-gender combo. be sure you use existing values!

thanks a lot for the info, +rep ^^
one more thing i`d like to know, where can i find a updated guide on editing dbc files?

[schlumpf]

you dont need an updated guide ...
extract the .dbc, run through DBCUtil, edit, run through DBCUtil, repack.

[niGhTm4r3]

hmm, it seems that all collums with tha raceid 8(troll) have the bald value set to 0, how is that possible? :/ the file i opened up was the locale-xxXX.mpq

[schlumpf]

well, those values are in fact only set on bald dwarf and human male. i dont know, why not always. you dont have to change that val. you have to change the hairgeosetid or id2.

[niGhTm4r3]

This is what i managed to come up with, it crashes wow on startup though, even if i use the mpqfix thingie..

What exactly am i doing wrong?

[schlumpf]

so, what exactely have you changed? ..

[niGhTm4r3]

so, what exactely have you changed? ..

,
well, first of all, in the chrraces.dbc ive changed the field2 with "12" the row with the id 8(troll), to show the shoes.

in the charhairgeosets ive changed the section and geoset fields with 3 and 4, on the row with the id 181, they were initialy set to 0, ive just saw the rowid 221 also has them set to 0, but didnt change them.

Those were basicaly the only changes I've made.

Is there any way of contacting you except ICQ? Google, MSN, Yahoo! ?
I've tried sending you a pm but im unable to since i dont have 10posts just yet, you could pm me though. :P

thanks for your time and help
