[QUESTION] How to change 3.5.5 nelf into CATA Worgen

(1/4) > >>

Afrowalrus03:
Hi there, I've been trying for a small while now to change the night elf race from 3.5.5 (both male and female) to the Cataclysm Worgen race. This is my first attempt at any sort of model editing myself, so a lot of it so far has been trial and error, however I reached a bit of a stump. The textures from the worgen are on (most) of the night elf models, so I know they are (in a sense) working. However, I have no idea how to make so that the worgen models themselves are actually used by the game.

Here's a picture to better describe what I've done so far.

So, any clues to what I should do from here? The help would much appreciated, and I'd upload the patch file for download afterwards.

Afrowalrus03:
I've worked on it, and have now wroked out how to get the model into the game. The only problem I have now, is this weird issue with the facial hair from the night elves. I tried changing some texture files around as I did before, but now when ever I have anything to do with Worgen clicked in the login screen then my game freezes. I'll keep trying a workaround, however, posting this up here, just in case anybody knows how to solve it, and wants to lend a hand.

(Ignore the High Elf face on the alliance side, that's from another patch that I downloaded).

Play with Charsection.dbc
there are stored all of those textures loaded by CHARACTERs

Looks like a gay worgen.

Afrowalrus03:
Did as you said, and there's no more odd colouring on the worgen's face. Only issues that I don't know how to solve for them currently, is a lack of any kind of texture on the neck.

 I compared the worgen texture paths, and the night elf ones together. However, when I tried to "reroute" the paths to the corresponding model, the game crashed upon launch.

I can live without this, though if I were to release the patch file I'd prefer if that were fixed.

I have another gribe I've been trying to solve, and that is the sound files. I've imported a number of the worgen's voice files, and renamed them in the style of "NightElfMale_Chicken01", for example. But, when I try it out in game, there's nothing but silence. So, again, suggestions?

Thank you for the help so far, greatly appreciate it. :)
