[Guide] Model Editing: For Dummies - Weapons and Shields

[coffee]

im totaly lost at number 9

9) Now go down to Item, then ObjectComponents, then Weapon or Shield, then go down and find the code of the weapon you want, in this case the .m2 and .blp for my wep are right next to each other but if the .m2 is there, but not the .blp go to texture.MPQ to find it.


what it means is go to Item, then Object Components, then go down and find the .m2 of the weapon you want, as in the pic i have clicked on the Sword_1H_Naxxramas.m2, if it is not there go to model.MPQ and look for it, and if the .blp is not in patch.MPQ, look for the .blp in Texture.MPQ

k i made this just to try it out, im probley not keeping it

but the art on the weapon is right but its dull, it doesnt shimmer or have that glow like in the pic

2. when we go to change the script of the weapon do we just rewrite whats in the folder that we just made?

3. and how do i make armor? i just see the head and shoulders on in the MyWarcraftStudio,

4. and whare does WoW Model Viewer come into play? its exreamly cool tho and i spent an hour just playing with stuff before

[Krazzee]

model viewer helps you find the .m2 name if you cant find it normally.

and i dont know how to fully change armor either. I'll try and get it to glow and shimmer, just tell me your weapon you have. and yes to #2.

WOW that was a fast reply,lol

and im not keeping the wepon, i was just trying out the guid,

now when i made the script for the 2h mace, my sword and shield u made me disapeard, so if i make a new wepon and want to change the script on my helm and shoulders do i leave it in the same folder next to weapon and shield? mabey call the folder armor?

[Krazzee]

for shoulder call folder Shoulder, for helm call folder Head, and yes, you can put em all together in one speech2.MPQ

[coffee]

k cool, and figure out a way to change all the armor while ur not playing wow,lol

[Krazzee]

[AArknas]

hey Krazzee nice guide but it says the WarCraft stuido download has expired could you put up another one plz?

[Krazzee]

does n't say that for me, it only says that if you wait too long to download it.

[AArknas]

got it now but when i open it it gives me some weird error like "The instruction at OOoX blah blah could not be "read".

[Krazzee]

hmm... seems as thought it doesn't like you, try petting it, and feeding it.

[AArknas]

The readme says 0.Fix the bug of the limit of file name length in edit box whatever that means.

[Krazzee]

never encountered that problem, i'm not a good troubleshooter.
