Title: [QUESTION] How to use MoP/Cata Skyboxes
Post by: Nekatus on February 25, 2014, 08:32:49 pm

Hello Modcraft,
i have downloaded the 9GB Mop/Cata patch from Modcraft.
I already use the Wmos & M2s and it works fine, but now i want to use a skybox from MoP.
I found the skyboxes in Modelviewer but i have no idea how to find out the ID to use it in Light.dbc.
For my Zone i want to use "Costalisandskybox.m2"(i have no idea from which Expansion it is)
it looks like this:

Ive tried to found the ID in Map.dbc, light.dbc, lightskybox.dbc and areatable.dbc(FROM MOP PATCH) but i dont found it anywhere.
Have anyone a idea how to use the skyboxes?
Thanks for reading.

Try take mop/cata skybox.m2 and only SWAP for normal WotLK.m2

You'd better fill them into DBC. This way you won't loose any classic skyboxes.

You need to have a look at the light dbcs.

This tutorial won't most likely help him at first. You should also read some wiki information about the DBC structure to begin understanding it.

You need to add new strings for these skyboxes in LightSkybox.dbc, then you can use Kets's tutorial.

I always tink people have read the start tutorial :) So they know that there is wow dev wiki and how it helps with DBC editing.
