Hello everyone. I start again to try to modify race models in Blender 2.49 and, after some minutes of work, when I export the .m2i file and convert it again to .m2, the model just dissapear. When I open it in Blender it looks fine, but ingame the model isn't there, just like the InvisibleMan.m2 (not a cube, just nothing).

Then I try again other thing, and there's when the issue gets weird:

1- I convert the race model from m2 to m2i with M2Mod
2- I convert the model from M2i to M2 with the same tool and without make any change in it.
3- I put it in a MPQ file, run the game and there's the same problem again: no model at all. Not a buggy one, not a cube. Just nothing.


Searching for a solution for this, I try:

1- Download the tool from another source and try again.
2- Download the new cata-friendly version M2Mod4 (I'm using the M2Mod3 because I work on WLK)
3- Follow a lot of tutorials step by step.
4- Try with other animated models of creatures and characters.


The weird thing is...I do this operation a LOT of times and now it just doesn't work anymore.

Can someone give me an advice to solve this or something? :/

Pretty much a self-explanatory title. You ask for a weapon, shoulder, doodad or maybe an entire building and I'll model it (please, no helmets, anyone it's about 20-ish models). I need some practice with Blender and I want to make a favor to the community. This is my way to say "thank you".

I'll upload it with screenshoots and for WLK, so almost anyone could use it. The rules are simple: no helmets, no animations, no particles, no WMOs. If anyone knows about a good tutorial about animated M2s could be awesome, but I want to be sure I'm besting the basics of modeling first.


Have a nice day!

Hello everyone. Right now I want to do something pretty weird. I'm looking to make a custom spell that reflects some attributes placed in other DBC rows or simply the character attributes (like his HP, MP, celerity level, etc). I know some "codes" in the column 177 point to the data of other fields in the same row, like "$s1" who reflects the value of column 81, "$t2" and "$d" who points to loop time and duration time (just other fields really).

TL;DR?
I want to make a spell that shows in the description the strenght of the character player, like (if he have 200): "This spell does 200 damage points" (I don't care if the spell doesn't really do that damage, it's an example).

So guys, do you think that this is possible?

PS: There's a graphic representation about what I want to do.

Hello everyone, it's me again. I'm looking for some BLP archives and I think they're in the Interface folder inside some MPQ file. It's the Map and Minimap "arrow" what shows where you're. I look for it, but I only find a some other map and minimap graphics. Anyone got any clue where is it?

PD: It's for 3.3.5a

Pic related.

Hello again. I fell a little embarassed asking for this. Some months ago I wasn't having this kind of problems and I don't know what the heck happened. But well, let's get to the point

1- I take a race model from 3.3.5 and converted from m2 to m2i with its .anim files using this M2mod
2- I made minor changes, select all the meshes and bones and exported to M2i again.
3- I used the M2Mod to turn it back to M2 and the modified file had about 1,8MB, while the original one was 2.0MB.
4- Made an MPQ, opened WoW and instead of the model, I have a big pile of nothing. I don't talk about no changes, but no model at all.
5- I repeat the same without the minor changes, just import to blender, export again and turn the file to a M2i file again. Same issue.

PS: I didn't forget the bones in Blender, I didn't forget to move the .anim files when the m2mod creates new ones and I didn't have any problem or error with the m2Mod.

Hello everyone and excuse me for my poor English. This will be my first post here and I need this information to share my first clientside or serverside patch (I have the clientside right here anyways).

I use as a base the spell with the ID 69188 who puts a goblin jetpack to your character's back to do this. I have the intention to make identical spells but with other models to summon in the character's back, like backpacks or wings. I try to make a swamp with the jetpack and my custom model and everything works good, but now I try to make new spells like this.

*At first, I go to the Spell.DBC
*Jump to the line 69188 (the spell ID)
*Go to the column 132.
*Copy the number (14479)
*Go to SpellVisual.DBC
*Go to the line 14479

And then, I get stuck. So I try to make the same process backwards:

*I go to the SpellVisualEffectName.DBC
*I look for the only one who have the archive spellsjetpack.mdx. I found it in the line 6127.
*I go to the spellVisualKitModelAttach.DBC
*I find in the Column 3 the ID 6127 in the line 1321

And I get lost again. So, I have the first and second link, and two of the last ones.

 Can anyone help me to find the other links?
