Title: [Help] Adding a new Custom Race
Post by: Cereza on July 23, 2012, 01:08:32 am

Hey there! Im needing a little bit of support over here. Im trying to make my own custom races by editing the classic models, without replacing the originals.

So, I add the models to the correct DBCs, creaturedisplayinfo, creaturemodeldata, then edit the Chrraces to add them on the character creating screen. Now, for example.

Im trying to make a new race with this look:

This is how I go for the moment using the draenei base model.

Fair enough, it looks similar. So I stop editing the model for the moment and try to make it functional before I keep working on it.

This is the line on the ChrRaces:

Quote

15,12,2,0x102D,40073,40074,"Ta",1,7,15007,0x448,"Skeleton",0,0x2,"Farhaven",,,,,,363,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01FE,,,,,,,363,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01EC,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,0xFF01EC,"NORMAL","HORNS","NORMAL",0,

Aaaaaaand this is how it looks ingame. After editing the creaturemodeldata and creaturedisplayinfo, but not adding the textures. Its not important for the moment, its easy, just takes some time so Im leaving it for the end. The problem now is, that as you can see, there are no hairstyles, nor horns.

A friend of mine told me that its a problem from the CharHairGeosets. So I went to take a look at it. I supposed I had to clone the lines from the draenei hairstyles (ID:11) and put them the new Id for this race, that would be 15.

And yet the same problem shows up. So... Does somebody see what Im doing wrong, or have an idea of what could be giving me this troubles?

Thanks for reading :)

im not certain but maybe you need to edit the .skin files and change the new geosets (horns) id to 0? so they will show all the time. if it works when you model swap it in for the dreneai female but not as own race, then it is a DBC issue. hairgoesets its probably the place to fix that. play around with it. make sure you give the new dbc files to the server to see also. i forget that part sometimes. hope something i said helps.

If it was the problem with the .skins, in other words, the submesh not having a texture set, you would still see the submesh, just in a silvery color.

Plus, Cereza told me on skype that she doesn't use m2modder + 010, what she does is join the submeshes and edit the existing blp :P

As for the dbcs, I've never touched those ones, so I've got no idea..

Sorry XD
