Title: Can someone please write a basic guide for swapping legion models in 3.3.5?
Post by: Zacharybinx34 on February 16, 2018, 05:01:32 am: There is so little information out there. I get models swapped, but hair and stuff is messed up.

2. Convert using multiconverter
3. Put into MPQ patch
4. Check model
5. Try fixing issues in 3D modelling software (using M2mod)

6. Repeat step 3-5 until no issues are left

How do you do that?

Post by: darkvexen on March 02, 2018, 09:17:46 pm: Think porting legion to wotlk might just be a little above your skill level. Try starting out with simple swaps in 3.3.5 and then start working with .dbc files and blender/3dsmax. plenty of guides on how to do these. once you understand the basics then continue trying to port legion models.

and fun fact: schlumpf is never wrong :)
