importing head model to wow?

[tok124]

Hello. I'm trying to import a head model but for some reason the model doesn't appear ingame. Instead it shows as a box with a blue/white square pattern. What am i doing wrong? I imported weapon and shoulders that works fine. But when i try import head it doesnt work. I thought maybe something is wrong with the model so i made a new and tried again and it was the same problem.

So this is what i have done.
1. I modelled a low poly helmet
2. I exported model as obj
3. I converted obj to m2 using OBJtoM2 Converter
4. I made a patch and path to head model is patch-A.MPQ/Item/Objectcomponents/head/robo_transformer_head_01.m2 and the .skin file is in same folder
5. I edited dbc file ItemDisplayInfo.dbc (Check below to see how i edited the dbc file)
6. placed the dbc file in patch-A.MPQ/DBFilesClient/ItemDisplayInfo.dbc
7. replaced the dbc file in dbc folder in my core
8. converted png texture to blp and added blp to patch-A.MPQ/textures/robo.blp
9. I made a head in database with displayid 555564
10. restarted server and deleted cache

Name of m2 and skin files is

Code: [Select]

robo_transformer_head_01.m2
robo_transformer_head_0100.skin

Here is the dbc row for the helmet

Code: [Select]

555564,"robo_transformer_head_01.mdx","","robo_transformer_head_0100","","inv_helmet_154","",0,0,0,0x0,0,11,248,306,"","","","","","","","",0,0,
And this is how i used OBJtoM2 Converter

Code: [Select]

OBJtoM2 MyModel.obj robo_transformer_head_01 textures
So... What am i doing wrong? Why is this not working? Why does a box appear instead of my head model?

Name of your model is incorrect. Take a look at blizzlike head models, you will notice that there is separate model for each race and gender combination. On all race and gender combinations you don't have model for, you will get an error cube you are getting now.

Model you have made actually is for no race and gender combination. What do you want it for? Human males? Name it robo_transformer_head_01_hum. Human females? Name it robo_transformer_head_01_huf. And so on.
