[Guide] Fixing bare feet on character swaps

[MiKE41]

This should only apply to Draenei, Tauren, and Troll character edits.

Stuff you need:

MyWarcraftStudio (Now referred to as MWS)
DBC Editor (DBC Editor.exe)

Stuff you do:

1. Open MWS, click file and choose open, browse to your WoW Folder\Data\enUS and open the file named patch-enUS.MPQ (Replace enUS with your localization)



2. In the left pane of MWS there will be some number of folders, the top one being DBFilesClient click the small plus to the left of DBFilesClient to expand it. Underneath now look for ChrRaces.dbc and click on it. Now click File and Extract File To... save it somewhere, anywhere you will remember it.



3. Open DBC Editor, go to File, Open then browse to where ever you extracted ChrRaces.dbc with MWS and open it. At the bottom of DBC Editor move the slider right until you can see Field12 at the top.



4. Look for the name of the race which you are editing to (ie. I'm changing Tauren to Bloodelves, in this step I would look for BloodElf and select it), click their name once so that the row is highlighted, scroll back to the left so column 1 is in view. Write down the number in Column 1, this is the boot type.



5. Scroll back to the right, so you can see field 12. Look for the name of the race you are editing from (In this step I would select Tauren), click their name once so that the row is highlighted, scroll back to the right so column 1 is in view. Double click Column 1 so you can edit it, change it to the number you wrote down in the previous step and press enter (when you press enter the row underneath should become highlighted. It is REALLY important that the next row become highlighted.). File-> Save.



Edit: In this pic I accidentally edited Draenei feet instead of the Tauren I used in the example, oops.

6. Go back to MWS. In the top menus go to Pack and select Create MPQ Archive, Browse to your WoW Folder\Data, type in patch-#.mpq and click save (Replace # with a number (0-9 is what I know works), if you are asked to close your current archive press yes).



7. Click Pack -> Add File to Archive, in the new window press the ... button to the right of the text box. Browse to where you extracted ChrRaces.dbc, select it and press open. The text box should have filled in with "ChrRaces.dbc", now replace it with

DBFilesClient\ChrRaces.dbc

and click ok.



8. Close MWS, DBC Editor, and load your game with the model edit fix like normal, yay shoes.

This is great, I give you +rep '.

I have a question though, but it's not about this model change ^^'.

What is the AddOn you're using for your grey frames in WoW? We can see them in your screen.

Ty '.

That is Fizzle, another files.wowace.com addon (http://files.wowace.com/Fizzle/Fizzle.zip)

Edit: And while we're at it, the Addon loadtime info in chat is Warmup (WoWInterface Downloads : Warmup)
The Undress Button/Background removal of the dressing room is CloseUp (http://files.wowace.com/CloseUp/CloseUp.zip)
The enlarged Dressing Room is the work of Discord Frame Modifier (Also using to move Closeup Buttons) (Discord mods ported for WoW 2.0)

that would be sweet

[Deadzone]

hmm It won't work for me I am going from Troll male to Fel orc but the feet keep showing I followed the steps exactly and I tried using a regular Orc instead of Fel after but still didn't work =/

any idea why?

[MiKE41]

I'll look into it, give me a little bit.

Edit: I did my looking, it works fine for me.

Before:


After:


MPQ:
patch-7.mpq

However I did notice it removed Troll from the character creation screen, so if you need to make a new troll then you need to remove this edit. The MPQ is enUS Localization.

I've tried to make this fix for a Tauren male to Gnome male edit, did just like the guide says but the boots still doesn't show.
The number in column 1 for gnomes is 12 and 14 for taurens, so i changed to 12 for taurens like it says, can't get it to work >_>
You might wanna give it a shot or help me out plz :>
I'm in enGB btw if u wanna try to make the fix yourself, any help is much appreciated <3

will add +rep ofc

Edit: Never mind it works now, made a helm fix and when i tried it this fix worked aswell ;P
+rep for you
