[snaker_x]

Currently trying to make this happen

2810 deathknightmount.m2
DeathKnightMount1Blue

1511 ridingundeadwarhorse.m2
MountedDeathKnightBlack_01

as soon as i change the 2810 using DBC editor with 1511, in column 1, and replace the "DeathKnightMount1Blue" with "MountedDeathKnightBlack_01". it disappears from the columns and won't replace it.

anyone else having the same problem ? :confused:

I've tried this twice now, with no luck of having it work with a flawless attempt of following the steps.

I've been trying to change my Great Purple Elekk to a Chopper. After packing the changes, the changes have yet to be working in-game as they should.

Anyone have any ideas on what I may as doing wrong?

[Dodohead100]

I've done this twice following the steps perfectly, with no luck on getting it to work.

I've been trying to change:

Great Purple Elekk --> Mekigneer's Chopper

Also, none of the steps I did occurred any error whatsoever, and the repacks were successful, but nothing has changed in-game.


Edit: Sorry for the double post - PC locked up on me and didn't see that the original posted.

I had an issue with white box'd NPCs after a successful model change. The way I fixed it was to create three patches instead of one.

Meaning.. extracting the ModelInfo from patch, patch-2, and patch-3 and changing each of them with your model swap.

Hope this helps.

I recently model edited my Black War Kodo to the ZA war bear, this worked fine but all of my wrathful gear has turned into blue and white boxes, and so has everyone elses. Has this happened to anybody else and does anybody know how to fix it?

As sad as it is, seems to not work properly with Windows7-64bit. I tried running it in several compatability modes w/ and w/o administrator permissions.

It's odd. It'll let me see the folders and scroll down to the m2 files, but there are no animations listed, no other information. That little green design just keeps spinning its arse off in the middle to no avail.

In your guide once you've clicked on the frostsaber mount an animation window appears at the bottom. I'm not getting that no matter what viewing options I select from the bottom left.

Cool guide thanks

EDIT : I keep on having errors with DBC editor Can anyone help me please ?

[donkeydick]

Can this be used on a live server. I am opening the correct MPQ file and there is no option listed for DBfileclient . . . any help?

Just can't get that: "Once you’re at MyWarcraftStudio - hit ‘File’ and ‘Close Current Archive’. This will close CreatureModelData.dbc, however the table will remain. In order to close that merely hit the red cross on the top left hand corner of the TABLE (NOT MyWarcraftStudio)."...

Does this guide work with 3.3.3?

I mean, does this method still work in 3.3.3?
