So I think it'd be best to just explain the problem with this picture:



The Kodo Mount scales your character to 2.5 the size of normal when mounted. I've looked around in the model data, I've looked in the dbcs, I'm not sure what controls the character scaling. Anyone know where it's located?

I just recently stumbled upon an issue where my doodads weren't showing up on top of my texture, but it showed up just fine on another one.

After some experimentation I realized that no matter what, if your 3rd texture (maybe 4th too idk) is sitting on top of the chunk's 2nd texture, it does not spawn doodads.

Here as an example below:



The image shows mostly a 2x2 square of chunks. All 4 chunks have 3 textures on them, dirt, forestfloor, and grass. On the left side you can see the forest floor on top of the dirt, and the grass on top of the forest floor. On the right side, all 3 textures are present, however the forest floor texture is not touching the grass texture.

On the left side the doodads did not spawn because the grass is touching the forest floor, where as on the right side the doodads did spawn because the grass is not touching the forest floor.

By this experiment you can see that the 3rd texture will not spawn doodads on its chunk if it is touching the 2nd texture.

I don't know if it's just GroundEffectAdder, or if that's just how WoW's engine works. Either way, I felt it was important to share this before anyone made the mistake.

People have posted tutorials in the past on how to edit m2s in blender, but alas those threads collect spider webs and dust. On the few threads I could dig up the download links for all the tools don't work, and I can't find any of the tools via the search box.

So I'm requesting that someone make an updated tutorial on how to model edit in blender. Simple as that.

Need a map artist? See some of my previous works:







I can have you a map made in about a day. Just let me know by post if you'd like me to do some work for you, and I'll send you a reply back via inbox.

There is a tutorial on this site that shows you how to get the Map Artwork that you make working ingame, but it's been a good long while since I've messed with any of that and I can't find the tutorial.

Anyone know where it is? Please link if so.

So I've tried making some changes to some blps and re-import them back into their original MPQ and they didn't read. I looked a little bit and realized that the files were encrypted upon re-import. Even if I just export and re-import without any changes, it still encrypts them upon import. I searched the MPQEditor options and saw nothing about it encrypting files upon import, so what's the deal and how do I decryt my files from within MPQEditor?

I just spent the last 30 min downloading different versions of the WoD WMV, and none of them want to support loading WMOs for me.

Is this just an issue on my side, or global?
