I've got some serious problems with this, I'm trying to change Durotar ground to Tanaris ground... I'll try describing it the best i can. I open MWCS, use it to open common.mpq. Open "TILESET", open "TANARIS", pick "TanarisCrackedGround.blp" and click "Extract file to...", and extract it to my desktop. I then open "Durotar", pick "DurotarDirt.blp", right click and choose "Copy Treepath". Pick "Create MPQ Archive" from the "Pack" dropdown. Click "OK" when I get a window saying "Are you sure to close current archive?". Create the archive named "patch-3.MPQ" in my WoW/Data folder. Click "Add file to archive, choose the "TanarisCrackedGround.blp" from my desktop. Press OK. Right click it in the left menu and choose "Rename File". Press ctrl+V, now it's called "TILESET\Durotar\DurotarDirt.blp" and appears with a folder icon in the left menu (when I press OK). Click "Pack", choose "Save and close archive", close MWCS. Then I open WoW using my Modelchange.exe, go to Durotar and... there is absolutely no change. Do you have any idea what I did wrong?

send me the mpq or give me a screenshot to look at of your mpq you created.

Hm, nevermind I made it work. Changed durotar tileset into emerald dream d: but now I got another problem; I cant change creatures or trees or rocks or characters or anything cause MWCS just gets an error when I click them. Is there a solution for this?

[nosfiarmus]

get a newer version of MWS might help if you have the newest removing the M2Craft.dll should stop it from crashing but it will also make you unable to see that models

I got MWCS 0.9. Checked google for more recent versions but couldnt find any. Can you throw me a link to a better version if there is one?

You can only do that on Original Servers, can´t you? I tried it and it just doesn´t work on my Mangos Server... I did everything correct, Ive the right modeledit-fix but I still can´t see the new textures^^

[Demonkunga]

You just bumped a 2 month old post... nevertheless, no this also works on private serveers.

[Cursed]

xD just got it...
Its the modelfix that doesn´t work...
The 2.3 doesn´t and the other don´t do too...-.-

I have the same problem. Could you tell me how to fix it? <3

Edit- Woot, I got it working. All I had to do was edit all of the files- example, I was editing elwynn and wanted to turn the paths into lava, so the first thing I tried was just editing the cobblestonebase file, that didnt work- so I then took all the cobble stone files and edited them with different lava effects and such, logged in with Modeledit.exe, and presto- lava paths! Not sure if that helps anyone, just throwing it out there as my personal fix.
