[QUESTION] Custom Wow Weapon Model
(1/2) > >>
kojak488:
Hey, I've been working to try and get a custom weapon model into the game using various tutorials from here. I'm stuck and can't figure it out. I'm probably skipping over some small detail and I hope you guys can enlighten me.
I tried using the custom item tutorial. Here are the files I used: the 3DS model, the converted model into .m2 with its .skin and .blp files: http://scorpionshare.com/download/439/Kunai.zip
So the model converts fine and looks to be scaled/positioned properly as its in the same location and size when I import other weapon models from WOW Model Viewer. I've placed the files into the MPQ and added the item with the right display ID, 70070, into the SQL server: http://scorpionshare.com/download/440/patch_5.MPQ
Unfortunately when I look it up in game or in WOW Model Viewer it's invisible/not there.
When playing around earlier I solved a few errors. I had the blue/white cube error and realised I hadn't added. mdx in the ItemDisplayInfo.dbc. On another occasion I got something to display in game, but as you can see it wasn't right:
I've also tried the tutorial for doing it the .obj way and patching it in using Glitchy's MES method. Same result: invisible item.
Finally I tried the tutorial for converting it to .mdx, which worked. I could load it into mdlvis. I could even get it into a .m2 using the converter. Unfortunately the .m2 crashes both WOW Model Viewer and the game client.
Anyone have some ideas on where I might be going wrong?

No ideas?

Try a really simple model, just to test if that works. Maybe your model is too complex or has something special breaking converters. Also, try scaling.

i don't know what have you done,because i can't download your files.Maybe you haven't added a .skin file?

I tried a simple cylinder with no luck. I've scaled the model to fit the reference model exported from WOW Model Viewier. I've also tried the scale option in 3dstom2 using 0.25. No difference.

The converter makes the skin file and it's included in the MPQ. I have no way of opening the skin file to see what's in it though. Opening it in notepad and it's just gibberish.
