Title: [QUESTION] [LINKS]  Mop to Wotlk
Post by: Holzbein123 on August 06, 2014, 12:10:24 pm
Hi guys,

I am looking for a tutorial how to convert MoP items & NPCs to WotLK.
I want to convert only certain things for a small patch

Thank you!

Greetings.

What's your level of Expertise in this field?  Do you just need to learn how to convert M2/SKIN Files?  Or do you need to learn the whole entire process?

-Opening MoP MPQ's
-Extract MoP Models/Skin/Texture files(a bit annoying but can be coped with)
-Conversion(Fairly straight forward)
-DBC Editing(Pain in everyone's booty lol)
-Making a Patch for WoTLK

If it's just converting M2/Skin files, that's pretty quick and easy but the other things can make the whole process come to a staggering slow paced crawl XD.

It may be best to watch this on YouTube since you'd be able to fullscreen it and all that:

When I try to open the patches I get an error...
It ends at "Loading Archive Files.."
If I do not insert "wow-update-base-16016.MPQ..." it works..

Can you help me?

you have to select all the wow-update-base files into the bottom box like I do and make sure you click that Merge Mode button.  Also make sure your install is a full install meaning wow model viewer should work with it.
