Add items instead of editing?

[JimboTHC]

I'm working on a machinima project and do all my captures in Model viewer.
The .mpqs I use are copies in a seprate folder and I don't need my edits to function in game.


I edited some hair and skin .blp's with photoshop for a nice result and decided to do the whole project this way.

Then I went to edit the armor blps and didn't realize what a pain this can be.


Is it easier to add new items in a patch.mpq instead of editing? This would be uncharted territory for me.

Or can anyone suggest any short cuts I can take for getting some customization on my costumes.

Thanks.

Not sure what it is you're trying but from what I can tell, you're trying to make machinima with custom gear?

If so, just make an mpq that replaces random gear with your custom blp's, save it anywhere but the wow\data folder, then select in WoWmv settings to load that custom mpq.

The game itself wont load the mpq that way but WoWmv will.

I was looking for a short cut around digging through the armor .blps. I figured out even if I just add custom items in a .mpq I still have to dig them out.

+Plus thanks man.
