Title: [QUESTION] None of my converters work for legion
Post by: Vortalex on January 23, 2016, 03:40:55 am
As the title says, none of my converters seem to work with downporting legion models to WotLK. What is everyone using?

Legion m2 structure has changed so "your converters" need to be changed to or just make a new converter/script to change them to wod/mop/cata or w.e expansion it is you want.

I'm not a software developer. I don't code or script anything. I just want a working Legion to WotLK converter.

Really tired of some of you acting so smug thinking nobody uses the search box. There are a cluster fuck of threads with poor titles on this website and the search box rarely pulls up the results you really needed.

Seen that thread already. Converting each file manually is one thing, but a converter that can rapidly convert files is another. I've been using this method from the thread, but when you're trying to port a few hundred models, opening each file and making edits like this isn't ideal. That's why I was asking to see if someone has made an updated converter yet.

Hi. I have made a universal converter if you really need that.
https://github.com/Koward/jM2converter (https://github.com/Koward/jM2converter" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
Just launch a command like that :
 java -jar jm2converter.jar -in "Frog.m2" -out "FrogConverted.m2" -lk
And it will convert any M2 to LK, regardless of its version. Including Legion.
I try to maintain it as much as possible. It's fully tested for build 20810, I don't know of any changes that may have happened in 20914.

Nice, however it doesn't seem to work for any files that don't have a skin file attached, like detail doodads for example.

But all files have .skin files attached?

A lot of the Legion files have no skin files. Perhaps the listfile just doesn't have skin files in it?

Since WotLK, _every_ .m2 file needs a .skin file. Otherwise, it is broken. Please name a file that does not have a .skin file.

Well, I tried converting the new Legion bear model, and I tried converting some detail doodads from Highmountain. I wasn't really paying much attention to other models, but I know for certain that neither the bear nor the detail doodad models have skin files to match them in the folders. I would imagine that many others if not most other models also are missing skin files.

Then your listfile.txt is wrong. Here is the list of the files in Creature/Bear2 :
Code: [Select]
creature/bear2/armorreflect_organic01.blp
creature/bear2/bear2.m2
creature/bear2/bear200.skin
creature/bear2/bear20061-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear20069-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear20075-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear20096-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear20097-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear20098-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear20099-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear201.skin
creature/bear2/bear20100-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear20101-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear20123-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear20133-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear20134-00.anim
creature/bear2/bear2skin.blp
creature/bear2/bear2skinblack.blp
creature/bear2/bear2skinblackdiseased.blp
creature/bear2/bear2skinblue.blp
creature/bear2/bear2skinbluediseased.blp
creature/bear2/bear2skinbrowndiseased.blp
creature/bear2/bear2skindrkbrown.blp
creature/bear2/bear2skindrkbrowndiseased.blp
creature/bear2/bear2skinwhite.blp
creature/bear2/bear2skinwhitediseased.blp

I suggest you to update the listfile.txt in CASCExplorer with this one : https://github.com/bloerwald/LegionFile ... stfile.txt (https://github.com/bloerwald/LegionFiles/blob/master/listfile.txt" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Yeap it must be my listfile, because the only files in that folder for me are

creature/bear2/armorreflect_organic01.blp
creature/bear2/bear2.m2

Thanks for the info yo
