So, I'm kind of new in this modding stuff for World of Warcraft. I presently am fooling around with the Vanilla version of the game, trying models swap etc and succeeded to swap some stuff.But right now I would really like to learn how to swap spell visuals. For exemple, for the Hunter class, when the bow shoots an arrow, instead of seeing the arrow shot, you would see a frost bolt being shot instead.Unfortunately, I found very little to no guide that gave enough detail to do something like this. In a nutshell, I want to change the visual/appearance of some spells, with the one of other spells.I already know how to use the WoW model viewer and open MPQ files and stuff, but that's about it. DBC modifying was quite complex to learn.Can anyone help me with this Please? :|
Open the DBC file using the editor in the link. Find the spell ID of your Hunter's spell. Find the spell visual row. You'll see that every row has a number or some kind of text attached to it. In the case of spell visuals, you are looking for a number (just like the ID of a spell's name, but this time it's the ID of the visual animation).

All I see are numbers on the top line. Do you have any clue how to find it!?
It works GREAT! But there's one more thing. Now my character doesn't shoot with it's bow, but instead does the casting animation. The arrow has been succesfully replaced by the Frostbolt, but the character doesn't do the bow animation, but the magic casting instead.What should I do?
Hmm... I think if you are trying to replace just the normal arrows themselves, then I think you need to look for the model of the arrow and replace it with the frostbolt model. That should work, however I think it will make everyone who shoots arrows, shoot frostbolts instead.
