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.

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.

I dont know much about the C++ aspect. on my sever i dont have male or females as playable races. I changed it so the females are just another races to play. scourge on the male side saurok on the female. instead of male female i have page one and page two. effectively giving me 42 races available to choose from. (21x2) its all cosmetic. the game still thinks of them as female and male. but if it looks male and isnt called a female anywhere a player can see then.. its essentially male. Now my question. I know you cant add more races than are available in the core already. up to race 21. but is it terribly hard to add a gender? 0=male 1=female 2=shmale 3=whatever. (for me it would be a page 3 and page 4) because as i said on my server it would just be a spot to add another playable race. adding one more gender would give another 21 spots to fill.  as far as the dbc and lua i didnt see why not. but the core i dont have much of a clue. not looking to hear if you think this is dumb or dont understand why i did this. Just want to know if adding this would be possible and how hard?

Does anyone know what would cause this:  one computer a model will look perfect but on another computer running with the same patches the model is broken? both running an exact copy of the client on the same private server. by broken i mean unplayable. scattered polygons barley recognizable. you can run around but all you see is flying polygons and a couple weapons. the weapons are where they are supposed to be.  i tried deleting the cache just in case. recopying the patches. still the model is broken on the second computer.  please tell me someone has an idea because im not sure where to start looking to fix this.

This was from Aion. I had to do some editing in the proportions to get it to fit the worgen skeleton. I thought it might make a good deep one. This is the WOTLK Files.

I always hated how there are no giant rodents in warcraft. Every RPG I have played always had you fighting rats at some point. So I cobbled this together. I plan on making a mount in the future for it as well.. This was a composite from an Allods model (i think) and the Siberian tiger. I had animation issues with the original front feet so i decided to just use something different. It has several skins and is for WOTLK.

I was looking at the Slime models. I thought it might be cool to have a slime that encompasses a whole skeleton and not just the spine and head. so here is my attempt at one. its pretty much the northrend skeleton covered by the vrykul Model. with a few tweaks. its hard to get a good pic of it as i just threw it in for the wolf model for testing. little bastard runs off whenever i get a good shot.  this is not a patch. its just for those who might want to use it and know how. It is for WOTLK.

ok im not fluent in any code but have done some programing long ago. with out going into all the back story of why, all i want to do is to have a different background model for males and females in the character select and creation screens. I have narrowed it down to the GlueParent.lua. in fact its this section here:
function SetBackgroundModel(model, name)
    local nameupper = strupper(name);
    local path;
    SetSelectedSex(sex);
    if ( sex == SEX_MALE ) then
path = "Interface\Glues\Models\UI_"..name.."\UI_"..name.."_Male.m2";
    else
path = "Interface\Glues\Models\UI_"..name.."\UI_"..name.."_Female.m2";
    end
if ( model == CharacterCreate ) then
SetCharCustomizeBackground(path);
else
SetCharSelectBackground(path);
end
PlayGlueAmbience(GlueAmbienceTracks[nameupper], 4.0);
SetLighting(model, nameupper)
end

this is of course my edited version. since i dont know lua at all i dont know the syntax where im going wrong.
right now i get an error for the setselectedsex line. if i take it out the game will load fine but it always points to the female background model. never the male. i dont know quite what im doing wrong and could use some help. Thanks.

ok also tried this:
function SetBackgroundModel(model, name)
    local nameupper = strupper(name);
    local pathm = "Interface\Glues\Models\UI_"..name.."\UI_"..name.."_Male.m2";
    local pathf = "Interface\Glues\Models\UI_"..name.."\UI_"..name.."_Female.m2";
if ( model == CharacterCreate ) then
if ( sex == SEX_MALE ) then
SetCharCustomizeBackground(pathm);
else
SetCharCustomizeBackground(pathf);
end
else
if ( sex == SEX_MALE ) then
SetCharSelectBackground(pathm)
else
SetCharSelectBackground(pathf)
end
end
PlayGlueAmbience(GlueAmbienceTracks[nameupper], 4.0);
SetLighting(model, nameupper)
end
same result. always female background model.
