EDIT: Fixed! If you're having the exact same config error as me, go into your WoW folder's properties and UNCHECK the box that saids "read-only".


Hey guys,

I don't even know how I got Noggit to work before, but a while ago i uninstalled my WoW for some space and reinstalled it a few days ago to work with Noggit again.

It won't stop crashing on startup and none of these threads are providing an answer that has worked for me:

Here is the log:

I was following the tutorial again that Steff had up. I've downloaded his WoWModding zip and extracted it. I've downloaded 3.3.5a and copied it again for the Client335aNoggit and Test folders.

I can get WoWmodelviewer7 to work but NOT noggit.

Here's my config:

#This is a config file template. To use it rename into noggit.conf and set your options
#Edit this to your WoWFile!!!
Path = C:WoWModdingClient335aNoggit

#Edit this to your Project-Directory and uncomment if you want to use it!
ProjectPath = C:WoWModdingToolsNoggitSDL

#Set this to the file where you will import models from (the model viewer log for example )
ImportFile  = C:WoWModdingToolsWoWModelViewer7userSettingslog.txt

#The far clipping value. Set to 2048, 3072, 4096 etc. for a further look. Higher values need more 3d power.
#1024 is the standard value and will be taken if you do not set this value.
FarZ=2048


So, yeah...all it does is startup, show me a white screen, then it's gone. How can I get this thing to start working again?

I have started up WoW as an admin and connected to a private server to hopefully make this damn thing accept the mpqs but that's not working. Help!
