Title: Creature to character?
Post by: darkvexen on April 26, 2014, 06:48:57 pm
So i found http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/world-o ... ature.html (http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/world-of-warcraft/world-of-warcraft-model-editing/wow-me-tools-guides/25067-guide-character-creature.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) but this is for 3.3.5 back when we had mywarcraft studios and had the right mpq. patch-enGB-2.mpq doesnt exist anymore. So how do people swap creature to character these days?

Look in the other MPQs. Use Ladiks mpq editor at http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html (http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

I can't do more than tell you that it still is there. Just open the mpqs and look.

You did not extract the whole file but only a patch, which only contains changes relative to the previous MPQ. Open the mpqs in merged mode.

As said: you're extracting partial files. open the mpqs in merged mode and you will get the actual file. alternatively, open the corresponding mpq in data/cache or data/****/cache.

ok got it working and did swap. now im getting this with the swap, (http://i.imgur.com/Eb78y7G.jpg)

and yes, i did check field six, correct skin is loaded. I also tried swapping orc to ogre, and nothing happened to the orc model ingame. I am getting same results as if i tried .mpq swapping.

Use MyDbcEditor That DBC editor used in Ownedcore is old(but i still like him)
and if you are looking for something... what about
"Just extract all Patches that you have in WoW to Anothes folder ?"
as i did .. its about 20 GB but still worth

EDIT: So i logged on ingame, and everything is working fine. all textures there and such. thank you guys for all the help.

I tried new dbc editor. My cat man still has no texture but i did get something with the orc.
