[Guide] Basic Simple Guide to MyWarcraftStudio Model Editing.

[bloodelfmageftl]

The problem im having is that when i open MWCS, and open the common.MPQ file, nothing shows up on the panel to the left side. The file is 3+gbs but nothing will show up, and i have the filter set to show All file. Any responses?

[McPheather]

I can't find MyWarcraftStudio anywhere to download! >=(

[Daegra]

Every time i try this i open MyWarCraftStudio and then click the open file button, find the "data" folder and click on "common.MPQ" the path to "common.MPQ appears where it previously said "open wow's mpq file first" but in the space below where the folders and such are supposed to appear there is nothing, if i try to open a patch i already have it shows folders/subfolders... but when i click on some of the .m2 files it says it has encountered a problem and needs to be shut down.... there are like 20 other people asking for help on this exact same problem... and still no way to fix has been posted... does this mean that no-one who has ever had this problem has ever got past it??? am i and many others like me doomed to stare at a blank sidebox untill we get bored???

what if nothing shows up on the left??

Whenever I open common.MPQ with MWCS, It is just blank and I don't see the list of folders with all the models, it is just blank and alot of other people say they have this problem, but no one posts how to fix it, or a method around this, PLEASE reply on how to fix this or any useful information regarding this.

for some reason when i open my common nothing shows up?

why when i Open common.mpq there is nothing to choose i mean in that window which is in left side ?

I can't open MPQ files ) When I click the file to open nothing comes up ?? Any help?

i try and open it and nothing shows up...i tried every mpq file too, i did everything correct up untill then. somthing wrong?


edit: for program mywowstudio btw

Ok, I got MyWarCraftStudio running. I opened common.mpq in the studio, nothing happens. What should I do?

Edit: I already did the .m2 only thing =\ still doesnt work

SAME AS MY SECOND PROBLEM:

hey man, awesome guide , but, when i click on the GnomeMale.m2 thing so i can copy treepath, it says MWCS had an error and exits out, anyone know why this is? I tried with other characters then creatures but always has error on the .m2 files for that creature, things like skins and hair are ok to click on though. any help would be appreciated

BACK TO THE FIRST PROBLEM:

every time i try to open a .mpq nothing happends..

thats right, i went and quoted "all" of the people who had the same problem...

now... judging by the sheer size of this comment someone should see it and help.... or laugh... im hoping help... anyways...

i also added some red text for visibility --->>FUNDAMENTALLY PROBLEMATIC PROBLEMS (SEE ABOVE)<<---

there we go... i now believe i have reached maximum visibility for this comment.

PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER OUR NUMEROUS CRYS (or comments) FOR HELP!!!

and now i bring the answer to my own (and many others) Question!!!

it still has a problem thing that ill explain in purple text later... for the moment..

STEP BY STEP:

i initiated my fishing bot and cast out into google...
upon reterning from a hearty meal i checked my backpack.. to find whole lot of crap and this: http://www.cnitblog.com/Files/linghuy.../MyWarCraftStudio_Fix_1.11_TestPatch.rar
i DL'd this and extracted the things into a new folder on my desktop...
then i opened the folder =O
i selected the two things and dragged them into the mywarcraftstudio folder... i then got a message asking if i would like to replace the folders already in there with these names with the new ones...
i figured it couldnt really hurt... the program already wasnt working... so i clicked yes

opened mywarcraftstudio... got annoyed and exited mywarcraftstudio kuz it still didnt work... havnt slept in the last 3 nights... so i opened it again to double check my eyes... it worked!!!

PS: not entirely sure whether it worked the first time or not... but it definately worked the second time... anyways, ON TO THE PURPLE TEXT!!!

--->>PROBLEM: MYWARCRAFTSTUDIO WILL NOT OPEN .M2 FILES!!
THOUGH (for Draaygon) I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN MERELY RIGHT CLICK ON THE .M2 FILE AND CLICK "COPY TREEPATH"

now... because everyone likes pink =)...

I HOPE THIS WORKS FOR EVERYONE ELSE =) HAVE FUN ALL.

now, more dreaded purple text...--->>PROBLEM: MYWARCRAFTSTUDIO WILL NOT OPEN FILE "COMMON.MPQ" THOUGH IT OPENS ALL OTHERS (patch.MPQ, patch-2.MPQ, expansion.MPQ, and custom patches) PERFECTLY FINE.

lol.. and common.MPQ is the one everyone wants to use >.<
ohhwell, i cant get it to go =(

...bah, someone elses turn, i did the rest u do the "common" =P

[Daegra]

Soo... I left my fishing bot doing what it does just to see if it could come up with anything else usefull... sadly... nothing... but more crap... but then... right when I least expected it... a Google(c) GM came a-whispering!!! I flew to my keyboard and hit the autorun key... dissapearing into the background... unawares that something new had taken the bait... as I sat down to relax in front of my awesome bowl of triple-chocolate-ice-cream-with-caramel-swirl I noticed the extra weight in my backpack... i searched around... discarding crap as i did so.. when out popped two links!!! ...GOLDEN LINKS...and... well... since they worked so awesomely at solving all of "my" problems... i figured hell... why not share em with you guys??

TO ALL THE PEOPLE I QUOTED (and any others out there sharing these problems):

GOLDEN LINK TO PERFECT MYWARCRAFTSTUDIO:
WoW Model Viewer

GOLDEN LINK TO PERFECT MODEL VIEWER (well, actually i havnt tested it yet, not quite sure how to be frank with ya... =S):
WoW Model Viewer

I could not find any of these anywhere on MMowned (though i suspected since they work and all these peoples didnt they must not be getting the right one.. so i didnt fish this site very thouroghly)

so please if they helped.. and you couldnt find them anywheres else on site, can i have a +Rep? ^_^

cya round, y'all kids have fun now ya'here.

PS: i was gonna delete my last comment and replace it with this one, but i couldnt find the delete buton... now that i think of it i prolly shudda just hit edit then replaced it... ohhwell, it starts my story-line^_^hope it works as well for you as it does for me... hope i learn some stuff... now, back to the 1st page with you!! lets see what we can do to them gnomes *rubs hands together evilly* "..heh heh heh.."

PPS: Yes i know that both the links say modelviewer... thats the name of the site, they are different links... promise .

i also have the problem with changing characters into npcs, where the model changes but theres no skin, and it stays a grey model. maybe the OP's post worked because the beholder has a skin inside the model, so you dont have to import one of those too. ancient of war (what i tried) has 3 options for skins and shows up grey when in-game.

[poppeman2]

cant get it to work i do like its says but i still see my TaurenMale ingame. plz help !

[Hadesminion13]

This guide Pwns! Too bad i cant find any WoWMe links... Overall very good guide. +Rep

[rubycon]

[rubycon]

[nspmichael]

Do i need wow patch't up for this cause i just formated my comp and i got no patch't up wow but i got my wow and burning crusd installed would it work??

[bumbito]

its seems to be easy with good screens

[-Lex]

...

Daegra, you ask for rep, triple post, and use annoying colors. Sorry i haven't answered. As it seems you found out, you just need the newest version of MWCS. I would report you but I'll be nice and just say that it's not nice forum behavior. Hope you got it working after all

[jinktreek]

LOL jesus, I am EPIC failing here. I follow everything, it works perfectly but when i log into wow, the thing i tried to switch is combined with the other thing (bassically i tried to switch a Broken and a Fel Orc and i get this blob thing lol). i am trying to do this in Wrath on Toxic WoW's private server, if that makes a difference. If anyone knows why this is occuring comments would be much appreciated
-thanks
