2.X Models to 3.3.5a models

[Arid]

I have found something a community I am a part of, Known as Project: Defiance, could use, It's a group of 2.X models, creatures at that, All of them can wear armor, Now I can't seem to find a non-tedious way I understand to convert them to the latest format,(Or even .3ds then to the latest format.)  If anyone would hlep, I can post the link here

Thanks for help in advance. Even if it might not work.
(Oh and maybe disabling the geoset for the worgen back furs or somethin' too!)

I'm pretty sure using python you can change the following script which converts cata m2's to wotlk m2's

import four.m2 as wotlkM2
import four.skin as wotlkSkin
from pym2_3.m2 import *
from pym2_3.skin import *

cata = CataM2.M2File("Male\GoblinMale.M2")
cataskin = CataSkin.SkinFile("Male\GoblinMale00.skin")

wotlk = M2File()
wotlk.hdr = cata.hdr
#change header version
wotlk.hdr.version = 264
wotlk.name = cata.name
wotlk.gSequ = cata.gSequ
wotlk.animations = cata.animations
wotlk.anim_files = cata.anim_files
wotlk.anim_lookup = cata.anim_lookup
wotlk.bones = cata.bones
wotlk.key_bones = cata.key_bones
wotlk.vertices = cata.vertices
wotlk.colors = cata.colors
wotlk.textures = cata.textures
wotlk.transparency = cata.transparency
wotlk.uv_anim = cata.uv_anim
wotlk.tex_replace = cata.tex_replace
wotlk.renderflags = cata.renderflags
wotlk.bone_lookup = cata.bone_lookup
wotlk.tex_lookup = cata.tex_lookup
#wotlk.tex_units = cata.tex_units #no
#add texunit
tu = Lookup()
tu.Id = 0
wotlk.tex_units.append(tu)
wotlk.hdr.tex_units.count += 1

wotlk.trans_lookup = cata.trans_lookup
wotlk.uv_anim_lookup = cata.uv_anim_lookup
wotlk.bounding_triangles = cata.bounding_triangles
wotlk.bounding_vertices = cata.bounding_vertices
wotlk.bounding_normals = cata.bounding_normals
wotlk.attachments = cata.attachments
wotlk.attach_lookup = cata.attach_lookup
wotlk.events = cata.events
wotlk.lights = cata.lights
#wotlk.cameras = cata.cameras #no
for i in cata.cameras:
 t = Camera()
 t.Type = i.Type
 t.FOV = i.UnkAnim.KeySubs[0].values[0]
 t.FarClip = i.FarClip
 t.NearClip = i.NearClip
 t.TransPos = i.TransPos
 t.Pos = i.Pos
 t.TransTar = i.TransTar
 t.Target = i.Target
 t.Scaling = i.Scaling
 wotlk.cameras.append(t)
wotlk.camera_lookup = cata.camera_lookup
wotlk.ribbon_emitters = cata.ribbon_emitters
wotlk.particle_emitters = cata.particle_emitters

wotlkskin = SkinFile()
wotlkskin.header = cataskin.header
wotlkskin.indices = cataskin.indices
wotlkskin.tri = cataskin.tri
wotlkskin.prop = cataskin.prop
wotlkskin.mesh = cataskin.mesh
wotlkskin.texunit = cataskin.texunit
for i in wotlkskin.texunit:
 i.texunit = 0

wotlk.write("WMale\GoblinMale.m2")
wotlkskin.write("WMale\GoblinMale00.skin")

I believe the changes would be to change all text reading cataskin. & cata. to tbcskin & tbc. to change imports and adjust code accordingly

Code: [Select]

import wotlk.m2 as wotlkM2 *
import wotlk.skin as wotlkSkin *
import tbc.m2 as tbcM2 *
import tbc.skin as tbcSkin *

tbc = tbcM2.M2File("Male\GoblinMale.M2")
tbcskin = tbcSkin.SkinFile("Male\GoblinMale00.skin")

wotlk = wotlkM2.M2File()
wotlk.hdr = tbc.hdr
#etc etc etc.......

sorry, I have been playing around and cannot find four.m2 for python, if anyone knows where all this is i hope they will post here
