[Guide] Armor Swap Part 1

[qqqaaazzz]

Theres some issue with head models when u do race swaps, ive never understood it. All i know is the only fix is through DBC, but i dont know which .dbc, nor how to do it, cause ive never done a race swap.

whuts DBC? and how can i fix my problem with it? and do u know anyone who knows about race swaps?

Finding this hard to work threw since i only can work in common.MPQ.

DBC stands short for DataBaseClientFiles. These files are what tells the game how to read ur moddels. Through DBCing, u can have blizzard read a 1 blp as 3.

Is it possible to use this process (for helmet) to make the helmet of a UD Male look like one you would find on an UD Female, then use a model file change to make the helmet look right on the female?

that would be awsome if it did!

Im gonna try a go at model editing tonight, will take a while to learn, i am aware of that. However, i hear you cant change other armor models exept shoulders and helm? this true? Wanted to change my 49 twink rogues armor into some new tier stuff, dont think i will bother though if i cant change the rest.

Thanks for feedback if any.

First of all, very nice guide, tried some changing stuff, worked fine.

Changed my Raging Berserker's helm of my alt into dreadnaught, went fine, worked like a charm.
Second thing I wanted to change were Herod's shoulders into something more fancy.
Now I noticed Herod's Shoulders are designed by one M2 file and most other decent looking shoulders are made of 2. I now made the right part of the shoulders working but is there anyway to get a working way around so I can have my shoulders looking like for example Conquerers? They are 2 M2 files + 1 BLP.

Thanks in advance

Hi Fault!
I was wondering if thus armor changing thing is still working after the 2.1.0 patch? I tried to swap twice but nothing happened
