[Guide] Changing your hair style

[krime]

stalkz, heres whatsujp. i found out my problem. whenever i have the new patch file in my data folder, wow gets error. when i remove the patch folder, wow works fine. So im guessing there is something wrong with name of file. Maybe. Its called patch-3. Anyway, ill try it again but im not sure if ill get it 2 work.

i tried 2 more times from scratch. hasnt worked yet. idk what im doing wron cuz i literally followed it exactley step by step. its the patch file i save it as thats affectin wow. idk if blizz fixed it in recent patch.

Thank you Grymskvll for this guide.

I model changed my Undead to a Troll, and I have a shitty hair cut (the number 4... worse then yours).

I did exactly what was written and explained, I run with WoWEditFix etc, but somehow when I log in game my haircut didn't change.

Is it because I'm trying to change the haircut of a model changed character? Or is it because I messed up somewhere (it is possible, but I'm pretty much sure I did everything right).

Thank you for your answer '.

What is WowEditFix? thats prolly my problem.

about the model edit fix. i have the 2.2 version in my wow folder. but this is what happens, i run the modeleditfix.exe thing, or w.e. and i get a black screen, then wow tried 2 start, and gets the error. Saying somethin wron with my dbc charhairgeosets. I dont know how to enable model chanin like people are talking about w/ the model edit fix. it dos nothing.

Sorry I meant modeleditfix.exe ^^'. Thought people would understand.

When you get the black screen and WoW lauching, log your account and log your character, then you can close the black window, not before.

This guide helped me not only with hairstlyes but, made me learn the dbc stuff so I was able to fix the jaw for the Blood Elf male to Undead male conversion (I'll post that one up soon in the appropriate thread).

+Rep and thanks.

[krime]

can someone please tell me how to fix this problem. When i run wow i et the wow.exe error. but its only when the modified patch-x file is in my wow data folder. i know i didnt forget a step but damn my undead is ugly i want 2 change his hair. and his chin if possible. hes missing lower half of jaw.

scratch that. i got wow to work with patch in it, just some minor renaming issues of the file. but anyway,i log in and i cant see my new hairstyle, its the sam as its always been. do i NEED model edit fix? cuz i tried using that ... version 2.2.2 an it didnt work. my hair just wont change. im mad pissed now.

Hi, at first i want to say you made a very nice guide. Thank you
But I have a problem, I changed my female UD to a male UD and then I edited the hair style of my new male UD but nothing changed.
Then I tried to create a new male UD char and searched for the old hair style and there it was changed :<
Now I've wanted to ask you, is it possible to change the "old" hairstyle of my female UD to the one of the male UD, that i want?

[Scerate]
