Not sure if this will help you. this was a copy that was made for like cataclysm alpha or mop alpha i dont remember. but I only have old wotlk installed and it seems to work nice for both newer models and older ones. its also nice for testing because i can drop a new model in a folder and it will see it and i can test it (in an mpq of course). i tried a couple versions that wouldn't let you see any models or textures not in the dbc files. hope it helps.

Hozu wearing Worgen skin for testing. Still cant quite get the shoulders to be seamless.

like what program? wmv i didnt think worked. I use an older version and really assumed the new ones worked the same. 3ds max? its been some time since i have used that one. Is there a script for current m2 files anymore? Otherwise yes. It could work just fine. I just dont know of any other programs that do that. Up until now modelviewer and m2mod have taken care of most my needs.

Ok so i had a crap fest time trying to install pymodeleditor on the new computer. Before getting burned out i decided to mess with the Hozu. I found that the reason some models look broken in parts was not too many sub meshes as i thought originally but too many Vertices. I think All the models that have broken parts i have found and  checked have over 17,000 Vertices. New goblins have just under 15,000 and they work fine. They work fine with M2Mod as well. Hozu have 41,000 verts. New Orc Males have about 19,000. Every submesh with problems in the Hozu is using the vertices in the 18,000 plus range. I did  find out that you can get M2mod to load the hozu model correctly if you open the first skin file in 010. change the number of submeshes from 40 to 16. 0-15 are the uncorrupted looking submesshes in wmv. then m2mod loads the model perfectly. bones and all. Maybe this was already known but i didnt know it. so I guess my question is how can this be fixed? Can m2mod be altered to accept more vertices? or a trick to getting m2mod to load just the submeshes we would want? I understand the client would still have this restriction but if we could at least get m2mod to load the models we could alter them in blender to work in Lichking.

Thanks! I have not googled anything since i first googled about the quest thing. lol. I should have thought to do that. Im looking to see if i can add the line about ignore name resolve issues.

ok apparently i don't have a my.ini file. Im using Jeulettes portable mysql for repacks that I got from AC-web. It works better that installing it for me as i use the server on several machines and don't want to install mysql on them all. Does anyone know if i can add the my.ini file somewhere?


also I can see how this might cause a problem but it doesn't make sense why it would cause only the starter quests to not be accepted?

I recently updated my server and database. It had been a few years. I have been playing my old characters normally with no problems. On a whim i tried making a new character and I could not accept any quests. It didn't matter what race or class. I tried other accounts with the same results. I would log in and try taking the first quest offered with no luck. I did run one toon down to try and take a different quest to see if maybe it was just that one quest that was broken but i was still unable to take any. Anyone have any ideas? I'm not sure where to start looking to fix a problem like this.

I ended up getting a good deal on this one:

Thanks for all the help. I really wasnt sure what to get.

I just picked up a bare bones computer and got it up and running. The on board graphics card is junk but it did manage to run noggit for me. I want to buy a better graphics card with around 1gb ram on it. I have NEVER bought a graphics card before and every computer i have had since the existence of noggit could not run it. (finicky program) So can someone recomend a good card for around $100usd  or less? I was considering this one

but i the price gives me pause. I dont know much about them. Any one recomend one that WILL work with noggit  and is decent for gaming. I have an AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-CORE with 8gb ddr3 ram.
