Hello there I am very new at modcraft and still learning how the forum works.
I am currently doing tutorials about noggit, but what I really am interested in is how to port over the models from cataclysm or MOP to wotlk, so that I can use their armor and weapon displays in 3.3.5
Can anyone link me to a tutorial here if there is any? Or do someone have a patch already? And how do you assign the new custom model id so it can be used in the item_template?
Thanks in advance,
A new user!

If youre a beginner it might be a little advanced for you.
You'll need 010 Editor and the m2 binary template.

And for the templates viewtopic.php?f=59&t=828 (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=828" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
But then you gotta do tedious dbc editing which is where
you'll get your new item and display IDs. Good luck figuring
it out and welcome to the community! Just make sure you
use the search function :)

Thanks for your reply.
But I have searched and searched and I simply cannot find a good guide for it :/
Do you know a solid guide? I have been working with wow emulation for 4 years, I know my way around usually anything so I can easily follow a tutorial.
Hope you got something i could follow :)

Well what guide exactly are you looking for? m2 version converting, or creating
new items in general? Or both? Because I've already given you a spot-on guide
for the m2 conversion which is required to make sure your items are compatible
with 3.3.5a.
For the creating of new items, I'm not sure if there's a guide for that. You need to
edit the dbc files. Item.dbc and ItemDisplayInfo.dbc. Item.dbc is not required but
if you don't put a proper entry into that one, you'll get the red question mark icon
on all of your items. ItemDisplayInfo is just the creation of your new DisplayID
which is what you'll have to use when you create the item in MySQL database.
Once you get a hang of dbc editing you can teach yourself to do basically
anything just by checking out the documentation on the WoW dev wiki. It's trial
and error, and using Blizzard's content as a reference will take you a long way.
The fun part about modding comes from research and trying new things ^^

On the left you'll find "tables == WotLK" that has almost all of the dbc files. Might
have to scroll down a little bit because the formatting on that website is fucked.
Edit: Just noticed the 010 Editor binary templates link is dead. Here's a new one:

Are you trying to tell me that he lied by saying he searched and searched and couldn't find a good guide for it?

I searched for 20 minutes before I found the first guide I shared with him. I didn't even know
PhantomX's guide existed. This forum is so cluttered with crap that contains the keywords
Cata to WotLK that it's nearly impossible to find. So I don't think he was lying.
-
Indeed. You search for a keyword and over 10000 entries pops up lol.. <.<
But I know all about DBC editing dont worry. The problem is I couldn't find a guide that shows properly how to extract m2 files, how to convert, and how to add them to the server
That was what I was looking for :)

Awesome then :D make sure to mark the topic as [SOLVED] if solved ;)
