[Guide] Character to Creature

[korric]

Hey, nice guide... I've been getting quite good at this
I say I've been getting good at it, I've done one Model Swap using this method :P
Just wondered, would it work the other way round and if so, how would one do such a thing?
I want to swap something like a crocolisk or a carrionbird into a BE Female, then my hunter can have a Blood Elf Slave

Edit: Turned a Worg (Known as DireWolf in the dbc) into the Blood elf female model and it works! but it's completely untextured, it's completely white, what should I do? I copied all 27 fields in the model file from the Blood Elf and pasted them onto the DireWolf one, and nothing... my slave is still free!

Edit: BTW, when I call it a worg, they are the wolves in Silverpine Forest, not the Worgen which everyone is obsessed with atm :P

Edit: Got a picture of what it looks like atm...

The reason it looks so messed up is because it's displaying all of the model features at once, every hairstyle, etc... :S Also, it ain't textured.
If anyone knows how to help me here, I will luff you forever :3

[csodawowos]

it'S very confusing

but useful

and do you know how to do it's inverse? i think that somehow i can manage to have a character with an appearance of an NPC...i think after some modding with the display ID's or else...

I got an error when launching WoW

DBFilesClient\CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc has wrong number of columns (found 28, expect 16)

Do you suppose I could turn my pet's model, let's say ghoul, into a custom character model I created with custom gear? With all animations working correctly I mean, cannibalize, leap, and for that matter could I change animations to different animations? Like let's say run --> sprint? I'm very new to all of this so if I'm in the wrong thread just say so but go easy on me please XD.

I can´t find forest troll (character) SKins!! how i can get skins of characters not used? (taunka, ferolc...)

[Arcaninum]

Any idea why the main site that the DBC Editor is downloaded from is down?
Anyone mind uploading their DBC Editor for me to download until further notice?

Uhh. Im looking for a quick ingame bar that allows you to type in the npcs "ID" number. And I cant find it anywere. This is also kinda confusing whether it works ingame or not. -Rep =P

[Breakdawn]

thanks alot for posting this :P

[Dadalife]

Seems like it does not work for 3.3.3

[jho369]

works fine. I just tested out. Gotta double check the steps, make sure you put in the new model in field 6 and 7.

Now, I can change the model...how can I change skin, is there a tut? I want to make druid bear form into something else, like spectralbear...anyone know how?
