[TOOL][TUTORIAL] How to port models from Cata to WOTLK

[detonatorss]

i have the models to XD and works prefectly

[Gurluas]

Does this fix the skin files too?

[Mjollna]

Yes it does.
So don't forget to add the skin files as well in the folder where the app and the M2 to convert are.

i think that particle (or mop particle) corrupted these models
i'll try some other models from mop beta in these days

[detonatorss]

yes the tool don't fix the particles and if the particles are not fixed the model is corrupted and you can't see the model in wow

[Zim4ik]

actually, this works, doresain

@pandaren female not working - cannot move, cannot see model, clients works
 i was having this bug, because of anim filles. they added some new anim files, for supporting runing and oter standart anims
and i recommend to port models from mop by hand, accept the doodads

[doresain]

so the problem is anim files, so we can delete it and replace with other anim? for example with anim porter?

[Zim4ik]

just copy all *.anim files from model folder

Yes Doresain, you are correct.

If you try to use the template on those models you'll see that they aren't completly finished. You are missing particles. If these particles aren't "deleted", as in set the emitters and offsets to 0, or actually fixed (a harder job), the model won't work ingame.

ok i see one of the errors in the MoP models the .skin files, in submeshes have id to 0 there's no number for each reason the model is broken

[Grumh]

Hello, thank you very much for the tool, but I get error: S; says I'm missing libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll file, anyone know how to fix it?

Sorry for my bad English: S

[ZxOxZ21]

Grumh, you must find that .dll on the google, and download it, you can insert it into your folder with the converter or in Windows file.

:lol:  Just tested the Converter,it workd perfect on the most MoP Models !  (NOT BETA Models !!! I used the 5.0migration files)

Great Work  

Now please same for wmo´s  :-p

#### EDIT #### :
pandarenfemale and some other models don t work )im still testing)

Btw, does anyone has a working Converter for MoP Wmo´s or MoP  adt Mapfiles ?

[Ascathos]

So, as far as I see: the particles overall breaks a model. This includes every type of model for some reason. If you convert it while particles are set, the model doesn't work. If you convert it and remove particles offset from the header, it works. If you convert without and add them in again, it doesn't work anymore.
