[1.12] Improved Models Patch: With Wolves!

[Method]

Missing texture.

You can look in the M2 with 010 and look for the path (which ends by BLP)

What is "010" how do I find the path?

That one is the alpha blood elf, but I'm also using the converted BC blood elf.

[spik96]

I'm sorry, I meant 010 editor. It allows you to view binary files (=files that look like chinese when you open them) in hexadecimal. On the right menu, an ASCII (normal characters) version is showed. You search (using one of the menu probably called Search or try Ctrl F I don't know) ".BLP" and should you find.
It's the same probably this guy encountered : viewtopic.php?f=93&t=9235

[Method]

Ah, thanks for clarification.

So these?



The path would be CharacterBloodElfMaleBloodElfFemaleEyeGlowGreen?

[update]

Worked.



Thanks Spik, replaced Gnomes with Belfs now.

[spik96]

Yep. As you can see there are really hardcoded in the model so the path will always be that even if you name your BloodElf Frog.m2 x)

EDIT : You are welcome

What's up mate!
Awesome modification for the game, keep up the good work!
However, I can't seem to make it work for Nostalrius :/ I keeps giving me an error.

I got two installs off Vanilla WoW 1.12.1. One from Kronos private server and one from Nostalrius (both of their "official" downloads).
But everytime I try out your Nostalrious modification the game doesn't even start and gives me this error:
"Your login interface files are corrupted. Please reinstall the game."
I attached files showing both the Data folder and where I saved the backup
(Which I just realised are freaking small, but I guess you can rightclick them and open Image in new tab)

Am I doing something wrong? :p
Obviously your standard modification disconnects me from Nostalrius, as expected.

Nostrils might be using an EnGB (European) client where as the file spik96 is giving you might be from the enUS (American) client, so that's why you're getting an error. I'd suggest uploading another file for Nostrils that's patch-2.MPQ but for European clients.

Well, I guess before he does that I could find an enUS client to download and try that out. To me it doesn't really matter what client of those two that I use tbh :p

Yeah, you could do that too. Just get the enUS client and replace it's patch-2.MPQ with his.

This doesn't make any difference to anything at all. EU and US clients mean absolutely nothing on Vanilla, same as Mac and PC files, literally the same stuff. To reiterate, they are the same thing, no change in client is necessary.

I recommend reinstalling your client, or running the repair tool in the folder, there is no visible issue (apart from the ton of junk files) in your WoW hierarchy, so I can't help you out. There is no way we can diagnose this with the information you gave.

By the way, this will work on Nostralius if you incorporate it into the patch-mpq, as will ALL swaps.

How did you "Install" the files?

Well, on Kronos they got their own little installer that downloads everything.
I just backed up patch-2 (not in Data) and then just dragged patch-2 from the zip download into the Data folder, overwriting the existing patch-2 file.

Kinda the same on Nostalrius. Downloaded their installer and then just did the same as above.
Got two clients installed that is.

Both of the clients works fine without the modified patch-2 file.

Was this for the creator or me? :p

You.

have you made sure that you've installed it correctly?

You don't replace patch-2 unless you're playing on Nostralius, since nostralius performs the checksum.

If you're playing on kronos you simply rename Spiks file to "patch-5" or something, drag it into your folder, and it should work.

I just have the kronos client, it's still connecting to Nostalrius(realmlist modify, havn't had any problems playing on it at all).
And yes, I'm sure I'm installing the file correctly :p
So it's working for you guys? With his latest update?

EDIT: Trying out a pure vanilla 1.12.1 enUS right now (only changing realmlist to the Nostalrius one).

EDIT2: Okay, so it works on the enUS one. It had no modifications and it wasn't downloaded from any site connected to any private server.
I tried first without any addons or UI modification at all. Then added what I had from the Kronos client and Nostalrius client (both same addons/modifications) one by one to see if it would recreate the error. Nothing so far. It works perfectly.

So maybe Neyo was onto something there or both Nostalrius and Kronos "official" clients have been modified in other ways making the error possible. Either way, it works now :p

The Nostalrius version is just a packed one with Blizzard's patch 2 so people don't have to mess with an MPQ editor to merge files themselves. If there is region-related content in it I can merge and upload other versions but I'll need to find the patch-2.MPQ of every client. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

You don't have to appologize. I gladly helped finding that out. Easier to troubleshoot for other people.

If you want, I can send you the patch-2.MPQ for both Kronos and Nostalrius clients(if there is any difference).
