Post by: frezer748 on September 06, 2011, 06:38:11 pm
Hello guys i make follow things :

1.make a 3D Helmet
2. convert the .3ds to .m2 (and namend test.m2)
3. put the files into a new patch : Item/ObjectComponents/Head/test.m2
4. edit the itemdisplayinfo.dbc, add a new name "test" than i make a new line and tip the number into the name field, and i take a new display id which don't already exist.
5. going into my database and add a new line in "item_template" make them as helm give them the name test and the displayid which i created into the .dbc and so on.


so than i logged into the server and i add the item, i got the item and want to use it, but than i haven't no helmet design on my head. and yes i restarted the server and put the edit dbc (itemdisplayinfo.dbc) in the server dbc folder.  a guy said i have to edit the helm with mountpoint or so, but i don't know how i use the programm. please help me don't know what to do :P

Per race the helmet would be for let's say. Worgen in CAta is WoM. As in Worgen Male. So put Test_HUM.m2 as the name for a human male. And it'll work for humans.

You do not pointed a prefix
For each race to two forms of the helmet (male  female)
For example:
_HuM - Human Male
_HuF - Human Female.
-------
To make a complete Custom Helmet (100% blizzlike) you need to make 16 models of the helmet (8  races + Gender)

If you have a Worgen and goblins, then you need to make 20 models of the helmet (various forms of head)

so i must namend the things not test.m2, i must make test_hum.m2 for example, and than for all races and gender?and  can i make right click>rename??  or must i convert again?


BTW:

in the 3dstom2 converter what they mean with "how many textures do you want", "please enter textflag", "texture type", "texname"? what are the effect of it.

Yes

Each race has its own form of the head. for example helmet for blood elf, will be a different shape than for tauren.

"please enter textflag", "texture type", "texname"? what are the effect of it.
Enter Everywhere "0".
Then open your model in Pymodeleditor,
In the "Edit textures" put Texture flag "Item  Capes", and erase the path to the texture. (in your path will be "0"). - Because the texture will be used from DBC.

The short names for each race are defined in the ChrRaces.dbc.

Edit textures> Change texture type to "Item  Capes". + Check if there are any errors in the python console.

but the memory can't be the problem hmm

Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (2.6.6) [1] (sig) should be the right one :S

i tried it with modelviewer, but the thing is that he don't show me a helm O.O so is the problem the Item Design i think. or what can the problem.


BTW: the path from the Helmet.m2 should be correct : http://www.imagebanana.com/view/r6hzdt2c/helmet.png (http://www.imagebanana.com/view/r6hzdt2c/helmet.png" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

PS: the pyth.. program always works not yet
PSS: in the converter what they mean with "Skin File Name" and "Optional Scale"

Asi already said: The full list of prefixes is in the dbc.
Title: Re: Own Helmet problem
Post by: Vel on September 08, 2011, 03:13:24 pm
incorrect file attributes (CE--)
must be C--

_HuM prefix show helmet only in Human male, on other racegender helm does not shows

--

As I write this, chances are that the same corrupted helmet model

"Optional Scale"

Default MDLvis Scale 0.02 (reduced in 50 times)
Example:

Code: [Select]
MDXconv.exe  Helmet.mdl  0.02

Enter animationd ID
0

Next index
-1

sum anim id

0


if not point scale at conversion, then the model will be very big. (so big that often does not fit into the zone of visibility)

What can the problem that he don't show me the helmet in modelviewer? i found the item in the list but they don't show me a helmet. i convert the 3ds file into a m2 file and put it into a patch, and than i tried to watch the helmet in modeviewer, but how i said he don't show me the item, it's only in the list.


PS: so the normal scale for a helmet for an example is 0? or 0,2 and what is with "Skin File Name"
PSS: Schlumpf did you know what the problem is with phymodeleditor? here is one picture from the error http://www.imagebanana.com/view/7mt6m9z7/problem.png (http://www.imagebanana.com/view/7mt6m9z7/problem.png" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

or very big model (50.0 scale)
or broken model

If the model is not listed, perhaps it could not be loaded. (Due to the fact that in highly corrupt)

Model viewer lists everything it can find with m2 in the name being in the list files.
You either don't have the mpq in your list of opened MPQs, dont have a list file with the model in it (should be created automatically) or it is at a path the model viewer ignores, such as /a.m2 (it at least did at some point)
