Title: [SOLVED] [QUESTION] Adding new models to the game
Post by: Gurluas on July 26, 2012, 03:47:06 am

Right, so in this case, I wanted to add Soldan's Azshara model to createmodeldata dbc & creaturedisplayinfo dbc alongside Lavaman.
One thing I noticed is, all the entries points towards .mdx.

So in this case I put :

creature/aszhara/aszhara.mdx

and creature/lavaman/lavaman.mdx

and put the Azshara model in that location. (Lavaman is already there)

I also put a last entry...

creature/tempscourgemale/scourgemale.mdx

HOWEVER...Only the scourgemale works.
both of the other ones just shows up as boxes ingame.

Why isn't it working?, and whats with the mdx's when there are only M2s in the folders?

WoW just rename the path inside. I think at the time they wrote the code models where called MDX and swap later to m2. And Blizzard is lazy;)

Have you the models also inside the DBCs?

Did you increase the id for the models and creaturedisplayinfo? I often forget to increase it and end up having dublicate entries which don't show up. Btw... did you rename the models to mdx, because even though you write mdx in the dbc the model's name stays m2.
