Title: [HELP] Can't find a specific .BLP file.
Post by: Soldan on January 06, 2012, 05:17:56 am

Hey again ,

Sorry to bother you all, I was just wondering if one of you could perhaps be a little bit of a help to me.

So, I'll explain. In my server, I have quite a few Custom Mounts, and not just one reskin of the existing skin asigned to the base displayID, but various reskins of the same model, that way, I can have diferent types of the same mount for example: "Awesome Red Tiger" "Awesome Blue Tiger" "Awesome Yellow Tiger", without actually modifying the existing "Awesome Tiger" skin. Now, as I said above, I've managed that with a few different models.

Now, what I really want, is the SaberWorg, A.K.A Skoll. I have the existing model as a mount. But what I felt like doing, was making a RED Skoll skin, create a new display ID, and have 2 diferent types of SaberWorgs, blue, and red. The only problem is, while searching through the patches for the creature, common, patch, lichking, expansion, etc, I couldn't seem to find "CreatureSaberWorg". So I became more curious, and opened the CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc, searched Skoll's display ID, and it came up with:

"SpectralSaberWorg.blp". And after searching some more, I discovered 2 more types of SaberWorgs;
"SpectralSaberWorg_Light.blp"
"SpectralSaberWorg_Mid.blp"

And that is what I need to beable to complete my mount, the blp. But ofcourse, there is the problem mentioned above, I can't seem to find the .blp in ANY of the patches from my wow directory.

I do, on the other hand happen to have the .m2, .anim, and .skin files of the model. Now, the question is, is it possible to get the .blp out of the .m2, .anim or .skin file? (You can probably guess I have no idea whatsoever about modelling).

If not, does anyone know where I can get my hands on "SpectralSaberWorg.blp"?

Thank you all for reading,
Any help whatsoever is much appreciated,
Soldan.

Well, the saberworg texture is in Common.mpq (Creaturesaberworg).
If you can't found them, go to wowmodelviewer, select the saberworg model and go to "file---export textures---export all" and they will be saved in the "Export" folder.
