Title: [TUTORIAL] Porting models from MoP & or Cata to WotLK.
Post by: phantomx on September 06, 2014, 06:15:59 pm

Hello, everyone I'm here again with another tutorial, this one is based on how to port creature models and also set up a morph id and maybe add sounds to it, a basic tutorial but should help out people get started.



I will mostly do my tutorials in video format because I feel people learn more from seeing things in action then reading, I go both ways but any way with any further ado here's the video and required files will be posted below it.

P.S.

I hope you learned from watching this video and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

I did make this video right after just getting out of bed so sorry for that.

Could you upload the m2 and skin files and I'll take a look at them.

My conversion of him had no problem so something is probably wrong with your porting.

Yes, could be the dbc?
Title: Re: [TUTORIAL] Porting models from MoP & or Cata to WotLK.
Post by: phantomx on October 03, 2014, 11:37:20 pm
It's very likely something you missed in the dbc then.

I suggest you rewatch the video since you left a lot of values empty.

Ok, i'm going to put the values like the video.

Post by: ruffo91 on October 04, 2014, 01:05:52 am
I put the values like video and gets me the same error :S I don't know more things to try I have your model and your dbc data is strange.

Have you tried using a different wow.exe since it seems you might be using a modified one.
Title: Re: [TUTORIAL] Porting models from MoP & or Cata to WotLK.
Post by: ruffo91 on October 04, 2014, 01:20:26 am
Yes, I tried in 3 different computers with different servers. Its strage cause I have other ported models (no by me) and they work perfectly so my ported models and your model crash my client. :S and I supose that your model is ported perfectly.

Post by: phantomx on October 04, 2014, 01:35:16 am
All you have to do is copy line to and change the location of the m2 to the model you want and save then copy line to in displayinfo and put the id from the modeldata in the second column and then the textures if they aren't hardcoded.

Same here, I followed the tutorial, cloning lines from similar models (e.g. I did the port for "Atramedes" cloning lines from a Netherwing Drake") but the game still crash. Can't understand why  :roll:

Hi guys, depending on the version of LK you are using, try using the DB files from patch-enUS-3 instead of local-enUS. This was causing me to crash at start up, but now everything works fine. ;)
