A few questions and a request.

[bj234]

Ok, so I have been extremely bored with my gnome female, and want to change her to an undead female toon. Now I am having a few problems, first I looked through the guides, however I was missing some files(patch-2.MPQ), or it wasn't very clear. I am also running Vista, which may be a problem. So my request is for a FGnome to FUndead, preferably with an explanation so that I may do this in the future. Oh, and will this affect other Gnomes I make, or any Undead Female I make? Thank you in advance.

patch-2 is just the name given to custom patches (they have to have the word patch followed by the numbers 1-9 or a-z. for ex. patch-4/patch-q)

there is a fix for vista im not sure if you have it but there is one. WEH also works but its kinda ... weird for vista users and it only affects the appearance so long as the custom patch is in the data folder (and the fix is running)

as for the actual patch ... meh not my area of expertise im sure someone will make it though

You don't need to worry about the patch-2.mpq
You're basically just looking through the Character folders for the characters full textures. So just follow the guide and forget about the patch-2 part.

And yes every female gnome will be a female undead.
