[Guide] Race to Race for patch 3.0.2

[darkriderking]

didnt work for me i changed dwarf male 2 dradeni female renamed the draenei female to DwarfMale and DWARFMALE CHARACTER>Dwarf>Male then saved as Patch-a.MPQ in data folder

This DOES work!

But! With a little bit of thinking of your own ;-)
WoW gives an error if you wanne use a diffrent model wich isn't in the MPQ file you created.

So what i've done to get the model changes to work is this :

I took BeM>DrF

First do as this guide says in this topic.

Then do the follow :

Open common-2.mpg
then go to Character>Draenei
Extract this to your desktop.
Open Batch Renamer
Open the folcer Character\Draenei\Female
Rename DraeneiFemale to BloodelfMale
Click ok.
Then your files should be called "BloodelfMale00.skin"

Open MywarcraftStudio
Click Pack
Type patch-4.MPQ (i named my first MPQ file patch-3.MPQ) Click Save.
Left side on the white. Right click and select Add folder.
Add the Character folder. (for some reason this didn't work for me so what i did is copied a file into the character folder and selected it with adding Folder)
Exit MywarcraftStudio and enjoy :-)

Sorry for my poor guide on how to do this but it's early and i'm very tired!

Yea, it works with this tip. THX

So you put BOTH MPQ files in the Data folder? 1 From Mudkip's guide and the other from SJak's? I don't get it.

Yes Both in the DATA folder and should work.

i followed exactly what the guide said, packed everything in a new .MPQ and my Draenei Male to Blood Elf Male worked. though my Draenei Male to Night Elf Female did not.

+1 I have this problem too

So when I open any of the MPQ files, they're all lacking anything other than a single .M2 for the race and gender. I can't seem to find any textures. Anyone else?

At the bottom of the treeview is a box where you can choose, what to display.

Does this work correctly for Tauren Females? I followed it exactly, then noticed theres like 4 more extra files in the Tauren Folder on MWCS.

[Milkbeast]

Worked for me, changed Night Female to Undead Female. Still got NE markings and stuff but it looks good to me

[admiralboom27]

i ended up with a purple blood elf....

this guide is now officially broken, you can no longer go into common.MPQ to extract the .M2's for the race you want to switch to, Blizzard officially switched to using .BLP instead of .M2
