Character model editing questions

**Ratchet93** · 12-12-2007

Hey guys, I have a few questions for you. This is my first time experimenting with character model changing so please correct me if I'm wrong. Yesterday i downloaded the newest version of modeleditfix.exe and Infranview and Mywarcraftstudio. I'm going by doz3rs guides I found on Youtube. Since i am a complete noob to model changing prepare yourself for the noob qustions

Question 1. When I was looking for Mywarcraftstudio I found some links for version .10. When I downloaded it and I sent it to my desktop and when i clicked on it it said I needed to update my graphic card. Is it nessissary to update it or can I skip it?

Question 2. I read some other posts and some people were saying that MWS version .9 was working fine for them so i downloaded it. When i clicked on it i got the same error but when i click OK MWS came up but it didn't have the green circle thingy in the right side of the screen. Is this going to effect character model changing? If not, can i skip it as well?

Question 3. Extracting the files CHARACTER,Character files from the common.mpq was easy and so was it for the patch.mpq. doz3r said to make a folder called textures and put it anywhere in the hard drive and put the 4 files you extracted in it. Not that I'm questioning doz3rs authority i would just like to make sure. Is there a certain place in the hard drive I should put the texture folder?

Question 4. When i go into the texture folder i see all the races. I deleted the felorc and broken folder. So now I'm left with the primary races. NightElf,Tauren, Undead ect.. In doz3rs guide he mentions something about making a folder called character and inside that folder your race and inside that folder the sex (male/female) of your race. Now, do i put this "character" folder inside the wow race I currently have? if someone could clear this up for me it would be much appreciated .

Question 5. I now had to go into Ifranview and press "B" which brought me to Batch Conversion. I now had to browse for my texture folder and select the race i want to change my currently existing character to. In my case i wanted to change my Tauren to a male NightElf. When i clicked on the folder NightElf and then the male folder nothing showed up so i couldn't continue. If someone could help me get past this hole in the road i would be very greatfull =).

If someone could please answer my question and help me with my problem i would be very happy. As i said in the beginning I'm a newb so please try not to use to many big words and shit =D.
