Title: WoD and Legion m2s to 4.3.4
Post by: Dottore on July 02, 2016, 06:58:39 pm

Hi guys!
I would like to port some of the m2s from legion and wod to cataclysm 4.3.4 but i could not find any tools or tutorial for this.
If someone has an idea please share it with me :D

1) Open the m2 file with 010 Editor (no need to use M2Template)
2) Just look at the first line of 010 Editor

If you have something like MD21....MD20.... (16 bytes), it can't work on Wod, and you have to replace the 16 bytes by this in the hexadecimal part :

4D 44 32 30 10 01 00 00

3) Save and quit

Should work after that

Hey!
Personally, I use Koward's jM2 converter (https://github.com/Koward/jM2converter). It works perfectly, except for some models with lots of particles and other heavy visual effects.
When converting Legion M2s, before using the converter, remember to remove the bytes before MD20:
