[Question] Can't view reskin

[xixao]

Hi,

I followed the guides here perfectly, found a reportedly working ME Fix for 2.3.3, made my .mpq, but the reskinned model still appears in its original state in game. What am I doing wrong?

Upload the .mpq you worked with, abit hard to know what you did wrong when none can see exactly what you did ;)

Noob edits, I know. I'm trying to learn the process so I can work on better stuff and earn +rep

I have really no idea what you've intended to do with that ;)

Change the "Halloween-special-dreanei-female-mask" to -? Or change something to the mask?


* You haven't put in the .m2-yet, so unless you wanted to just change the colors of the texture on it, then that's the problem.

I'm attempting to just alter the texture for now. I made the eyes glow red, and added some funky brush to the face around the eyes. Figured I'd start small and work my way up.

Alright, did you use the BLP-converter (BLP Convertors.7z) to get the .png > .blp, or did you just rename the file to .blp? Otherwise I dunno really.

[xixao]

Yes. Here are the steps I followed:

- Found the item in MyWarcraftStudio
- Right-click -> Extract File To...
- Ran through BLP Converter
- Edited .png in PS
- Ran back through converter
- Created new MPQ archive in MyWarcraftStudio
- Added new .blp file with the path info Item\ObjectComponents\HEAD\
- Placed new patch-3.mpq into \Data\ folder
- Emptied cache folder
- Launched WoW using ME Fix

...nada The mask still shows its original texture...

[Sylcai]

You shouldn't place it in \Data\Folder

Just in \Data

Where the Common.MPQ and Patch.MPQ is.

That's where I put it.

I kinda have a feeling that he ain't using the config to load the mpq into MEF <.<

[Pullefjun]

Texturechanges dont even need MEfix...

Yea, I put it in there, and hit F8 at the login screen. Nothing...

1: You don't need MEFix for texture edits.
2:Are you sure the path info is correct? Should be something like

patch-3/Item/ObjectComponents/HEAD/NAME-OF-HEAD-ITEM.blp

3: Make sure the character you actually have the item which you are re-texturing! If not, you will need to make another file path with the item you need, but with the name of the helm you are wearing right now.

For example: I have Mask of XXX, but I want it to look like Helm of YYY. I would extract Helm of YYY's .m2 and .blp, ( and whatever else, ) and put it in a .MPQ with the file path for Mask XXX ( the helm I already have. )

I suck at explaining... hope you understand, and good luck!

patch-3/Item/ObjectComponents/HEAD/NAME-OF-HEAD-ITEM.blp

Ah! The tutorial never mentioned placing the patch name in the path. The only mention of the patch name was in the ME Fix's config file (which apparently is not needed). I'll give this a shot.
