.anim files

[Ohai]

Ok sorry so many questions, but can anyone tell me if I'm about to change a model I opened the art.mpq and found the characters .m2 files and .anim .skin .blp files. Do I have to change those anim files or just the M2?

It says here http://www.sc2mapster.com/forums/resour ... r-3ds-max/ that I should change the AnimationData.dbc. Is that all, and if I have to change the anim files what tool should I use for that?

Most race animations are bound to the m2 not the .anim files.

ok awsome phantomx and can you tell me please what i was asking in the other thread,, so if i made a custom model and im replacing it with the belfmale.m2 and its geosets.
So does it matter the names of the geosets, in mdlvis I cant name the first default geoset 0, and in model viewer shows each geoset: 0(name of geoset).. 1(geoset name)..2(name)..  etc does that matter and if so where could i change the names of the geosets?

I'm not sure I don't use Mdlvis, you could try asking Phucko1 he uses Mdlvis, I use blender.

And in another thread you said that its best taking animations from another ingame model and just slap your custom model on the bones right?

Well how do I open a .m2 with all animations, becuase mdlVis is giving me a 'acces violation' error when I try opening the .m2 I extracted from art.mpq

MDLVIS is able to load only M2s from base and TBC

There is a converter for M2 wotlk => M2 BC but i don't know if this work with mdlvis
