[Guide] Model Editing: For Dummies

[Tunes]

My warcraft studio 0.8 doesn't open. But wheni use 0.7 it works pretty good..

Is there something wrong with my computer?

[Happykins]

Hi the model viewer link from this guide will not work for me, all the models appear white

Hmmmm.. i followed what you did but with Version 0.7.

I tried switching to bear form on my tauren and it just switch to normal bear form..

Edit: Nevermind.. I read your post again and it's for night elves.

I'm just wondering though.
IF i want to get rid of Kel'th in bear form do i just delete my speech2.MPQ file?

[Krazzee]

yup, delete the speech2.MPQ and bam, it is gone.

yup, delete the speech2.MPQ and bam, it is gone.

Great!

So, are there any guide to making an area appear as somewhere else?

Such as making the deadmines into the emeral dream?


BTW, Thanks for the quick answer.

[Krazzee]

it is possible yes. but is SO time consuming and not worth it lol.

Quick noob question: Would other's see this? Like people in the game??

[Krazzee]

nope only you can see it sadly

[Dwarf]

ahh ok... I see

I have another question=
Ok well yesterday I did my first model change (my hunter's pet into a little cat, very funny )

I called it cat_speech2.mpq, and put it into c:\worldofwarcraft\data

At first it was NOT working, and I looked at the files in c:\worldofwarcraft\data and I saw a file called speech2.mpq, which is an old armor model change someone did it for me.

So I put the speech2.mpq (armor model change) into another file, and I renamed cat_speech2.mpq into speech2.mpq, and I worked fine...

The problem is I don't want to give up the armor model change, and I would like to use both... is this possible???? Do they both have to be called speech2.mpq to work??

This sucks....

im gonna start a topic for this

[kuram]

what do i need to do to make my troll priest look like whatever i want (say kelthuzad for example) because i dont think that the character model works like you said? not sure here

[Krazzee]

you can name your files in data to any of the following:

speech2.mpq
patch-0.mpq
patch-2.mpq
patch-3.mpq
patch-4.mpq
patch-5.mpq
patch-6.mpq
patch-7.mpq
patch-8.mpq
patch-9.mpq

hope that helps!

and to kuram, you have to dbc edit to change a character into a creature. srry m8 dbc editing is easy though, theres a post in the model edit forums, you'll find it.

[kuram]

k thanks for fast answer, and btw can you rename them past "patch-9.mpq" to say patch-10, 11, 12 etc. ??

edit: cant find that post im still looking though...

[Krazzee]

dunno, don't think so, i think it doesn't go that far, but ye can try!

[kuram]

i cant find the dbc thing whenever i try to search for it it says its to short....

can you simply link the page?

and how come my models are all white, how do i add texture to see what they really look like?

k i found some stuff on dbc but nothing that shows me what im spose to do its just a bunch of numbers .. O.o
