    Blood elf help

    so i got my model editing using Sticky's WOWme beta
    and it worked out great

    however i basically wasnt sure what all it would edit, and was hoping more for an EXACT character switch..from undead female to BLood elf female
    The character creater only gives me a certain amount of choices of hair colors and styles, as well as skin and facial features.
    Is there anyway to get the exact same choices as would be if i were to create a blood elf female character fresh?
    also if anyone could direct me to a link about how to change the character sounds to match her specific animations instead of the Undead females
    : /
    all help is much appreciated, im new to this and i was hoping for an exact character swap basically.

    Well. Thing is, when you swap a race that has for example 5 different
    hairstyles, or 5 different facial expressions etc, into a race that has 10.
    You will only be able to choose from 5, and not 10 (this is from my own
    experience :P). A perfect char swap... I 'unno, keep trying

    haha yah i hear ya,
    is it at all possible to use MWS to open the mpq i created and edit the PLACEMENT of some of the skins/hair styles so that they will be among the 5 or so choices alloted?

    If u used the race-race application I don't know, cuz I always do
    this stuff manually, if something is wrong, I redo the swap and change
    what I want and add the folder etc etc.

    Well, when I extract all the character files and then rename them I
    have a new folder called Character with the Race swap, yes? (This
    example is an OrcMale to NightElfFemale)


    After I do this I add the folder to a custom mpq and try it out in wowmodelviewer.
    In this program I am able to see what facial thingys are female and who are male, since both shows.
    And I delete all the ones that I know for sure are male expressions/beards etc.

    Like this.
    Later I go on to copying the facial attribute I wish to have, and rename for example.
    FacialLowerHair00_00.blp <- copy this and rename into
    FacialLowerHair01_00.blp, then i do the same for 00_01, 00_02, etc etc. You get the point.
    You always HAVE to have the right number of Lower/UpperHair etc as the model u swapped from had.
    If your OrcMale had 9 facialhairs, you will need to have:
    00_00 and the last two numbers into as many colors of skin you have. If NeF has 9 skin tones I need from 00_00 -> 00_08
    01_00
    02_00
    03_00
    04_00
    05_00
    06_00
    07_00
    08_00
    09_00

    Then when I think I'm finished I create a new mpq, check it out in modelviewer and if im not happy I continue to tweak.

    Hope that helps!

    Well, when u first open up WMV you go to options and settings:


    When that opens you will see in the "Options" part of it all a button called "add":


    Press that and then browse to your custom mpq and press Open. (No pic for this since it explains itself )

    After you do that, go to "Display" and press "Apply Settings":


    Well now it's pretty much done, restart your WMV and open the
    item/char/creature etc u edited and it will be in the form the
    patch tells it to be.

    Hope it helps!

    -P
