[rowin12]

Hey guys,

Its been my first time here and was wondering if any of you could help me out.

so i decided to give it a shot to get a unknown model into wotlk but it seems i dont know what i am missing at this point

I made a NPC with the new model id (301997) and spawned this in game at first it gave me memmory errors so i took a look and seemed to fixed this but in-game my model looks like this now:



i always get this error aswell when i enter the game with my patch applied:


can anyone help me out?

What is this "unknow" model ? From an earlier patch ? From another game ?

Show us your DBC Creaturemodeldata and Creaturedisplayinfo, so we could help you.

Actually I can't really be helpful, with the facts you provided i'll go on a baddly converted m2 or a wrong path to your model in the dbc... Or both.

btw, make a better title for your topic.

Thanks for your reply,

With unknown model i ment a creature that is stored within my legion data folder with casc viewer called (zebramount) i just took this model for a example, for now i cant make any pictures of my databases because i am at work today i will upoad them when i am back at home, i asked this question on an other forum aswell they told me it was a badly converted M2, I've tired multiple of them by now and cant find any good converter. Is there any converter that you can recommend me?

Cheers

I don't get it. You are trying to convert a zebra model from legion that is already in the wotlk client. Why?
Posting those images is not usefull at all. Why don't you post images of the convertion process instead? We can't help you with the non-specific information you are providing. The converters work perfectly, you are doing something wrong.

I took the zebra as example does it matter if its already in the client tho? ive tried multiple models btw but when i took a screenshot the zebra was there

Okay so here is my progress;


Files from scratch out of casc viewer


Open M2 File with 010 editor


Removed the MD21


Converting the files

Imo you have two issues here :

First one : You created new model entry in your Client DBC but didn't sended them to your Server DBC.

Second one : You didn't created the model_info in your DataBase, if you're on TrinityCore it's on World.Creature_Model_Info.

Just go in it and add your new DisplayID, and add 1, 1, 2 and 0 after it like I do. It's ok in major cases (If you create a very big model you'll have to change the two first numbers to fit the hitbox.)

Hope it helps.

1. When you want us to be able to get full size links to images, just just wimg instead of img tags.
2. Your CreatureModelData.dbc seems to be correct (I'd create a new entry by using a copy of old zebra's model entry), BUT I'd never use such an high ID. Why the hell so high number - 301997? Compare it with Blizzard's IDs in that DBC. Use 4000 or something like that, this just begs for all kinds of random problems.
3. Your CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc looks strange - there should be 4 fields for textures, not just 2 Oo. But maybe you have just hidden them.
4. The same applies to displayID as to model ID. 301997 - why the fluff such a high number. You can use 5 digits.
5. DBCs must be on both client and server side and there must be a row with creature's displayID in creature_model_info in world database, as it was said above. But I assume you know this and that you have done this, otherwise server wouldn't allow you to spawn that creature.

Thanks for your reply,

1. For these images you can right click and open image in new tab (works for me )
2. well since it was easy to remember for me i used that digit xD i will change it (thanks)
3. How do i know/enable hidden fields in my dbc? i can only see 2
4. <explained at 2> :p
5. Yup i know this, and done this

I will follow all your steps again today to see if i missed something, Thanks for your effort to help me i appreciate it.

Cheers

Okay so i have tried to progress again and i really dont know what is going wrong only thing i can imagine is something with the convert part...

1. I have changed the "301997" digit to a lower one.
2. after done making the patch i copied these DBC files into my server

Still gives me an error message of memory :l

UPDATE : Well okay i fixed this but just using an other wotlk game folder that was clean any idea how i can fix this with my normal one? cheers

EDIT: Found it it was an patch that gave me HD (wod) characters to wotlk and this was causing memeory issues

[rowin12]

one more question if you dont mind the creature does not have an icon in the name bar, is there an way to fix this aswell?
