[Resolved][Question] BakedNpcTextures hair textures missing?

[phantomx]

Hey so I converted all 21,289 textures from WoD to WotLk format.



One of my problems is that WotLK uses different file names then WoD does for most of those baked textures I.E.



I know that I could um copy WoD's CreatureDisplayInfoExtra's column that holds all the file names and import it to the wotlk version of the dbc but I can't be bothered mainly because excel doesn't want to start.... and I'm lazy.

So on to part two of the problem I have no idea where hairstyles for these baked npc's are looked for and I can't say I've really looked into it, since I have a lot on my plate this isn't something I want to spend even more hours on finding out, so this might sound a bit lazy/ I want someone else to do the work for me in a way it is but I really am busy and if someone could let me know where the hair textures are stored that would be great.

I.E





This third part isn't really related to npc's but some what of the same issue.

I've converted all the WoD races and their textures to WotLK but something that has still eluded me is that some hair styles at least 2 or 3 for the humans only seem to be unable to find the hair textures.
I.E





The weird thing is before I re-uved the model the hairstyles worked fine but what's even more odd is that I didn't touch the hair uv's yet all the other races have no problem with their hair so I have no idea hence why I posted this.

- Thanks.

Edit: "I know that I could um copy WoD's CreatureDisplayInfoExtra's column that holds all the file names and import it to the wotlk version of the dbc" Sadly that method doesn't work since WoD handles the file names in a different DBC that I haven't had the time to look for.

I can help you with excel.

Unfortunately can't help you yet with hair stuff. I'm still figuring out how to get all wod files.

Nice job with the textures.

From what I can remember the way I fixed my hair textures problem is while there is an HD for only 00 I think 1 gender uses 00 and 01 and the other uses 02 and 03 hair so what I did is just copy paste 00 hair texture 3 more time and renamed one of them 01 another 02 and the third 03 so its like:
00_00 01_00 02_00 03_00
00_01 01_01 02_01 03_01

I was able to find the npc BLP-s only in File Data dbc... Tired now, probably gonna try again tomorrow.

Hairstyles shouldn't be an issue as bakednpc textures have never had any hairstyle info in them. They should just use the same ones as players do. This hasn't been a problem for my WoD npcs (in fact hair styles are the only thing that's worked about them so far).

As for the missing baked textures .dbc, is it possible the file path has been converted into hexadecimal format? (that might be impossible, just throwing out ideas as the column in CreatureDisplayInfoExtra.dbc that once had a file path is now hexadecimal)

EDIT: Woops, missed the above post. That's great news.

Very nice catch, it crossed my mind but i wouldn't have known where to start looking for hexa id's.
Thank you.
