[TOOL][TUTORIAL] How to port models from Cata to WOTLK

[Eclipse]

Indeed particles are what causes the models to break.

You can edit them manually to get them to work, or you can remove the particles

:lol:  Just tested the Converter,it workd perfect on the most MoP Models !  (NOT BETA Models !!! I used the 5.0migration files)

Great Work  

Now please same for wmo´s  :-p

#### EDIT #### :
pandarenfemale and some other models don t work )im still testing)

Btw, does anyone has a working Converter for MoP Wmo´s or MoP  adt Mapfiles ?

Wmo doesnt change structure you only must por m2 that the wmo have.

PD:

Your program works perfect: (i added the particles)

Hello, whenever I try to run your coverter, it encounters following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of "std::bad_alloc"
     what<>:  std::bad_alloc

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact...blah blah...

To make this conveter event start, I had to download 2 additional libraries libstdc++-6.dll and libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.

Does anybady know whats the reason?

BTW: Thank you for making this tool, it seems really helpful.

Sorry for my english.

You didn't enter a correct name. It made no sense to the programm.

Yeah, I was typing wrong path to M2 file. Sorry for dumb question. Now, everything appears to be alright. Thank you very much.

Not going to answer it. Has been answered throughout the thread.

Downloaded both required dll files... but trying to open the file it gives the error

Code: [Select]

termina called after throwning ani instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
 what(): std::bad_alloc
didn't even get chance to type anything into it, it just crashes.

Hi guys !

Well, I got several pm about that Cata -> LK conversion... I didn't really have time to look at it, then I opened a file out of curiosity to look for a few minutes at the camera fix, and finally... I ended up with scripting something that groups all the changes mentioned in the thread in a single, easy-to-use way. And I lost a whole night sleeping time in the process.

Here it is :
http://www.mjollna.org/docs/misc/CataToLkM2.zip

Usage (it's a command line program) :

Code: [Select]

CataToLkM2.exe nameofthemodel.m2
Don't forget to add all the necessary skin files in the same folder as the M2.

I hope I haven't forgotten any fixes, it shouldn't break models, but you never know. I've tested on an innocent rabbit model and the draenei female model, both seemed to be fine... but more tests are probably necessary.
Tell me if it works... If it's ok I'll add it to resources > tools.

Thanks & credits in the source file.

Have fun !

you need to open command prompt (cmd on windows) and launch program with input file (your m2) ON THE SAME LINE (when you launch the program without input file you'll have this error)
if you use a M2 in a different folder (not same folder of the program) output file will be generated in the same dir on input file (i've used it on linux terminal)

Is there a certain version of 010 Editor to use? I always get this error when running the template

*ERROR Line 433: Template passed end of file at variable 'timestamp'.

I'm using 010 Editor 3.01

Edit: Sorry, I just saw the part of the tutorial about the cameras error

Port models is easy than ever with this tool.

1. Put model on exe
2. Open _lk model and port particles, if u dont know how to put particles in 1 to set only 1 and work
3. Erase _lk, for example "mamodel.m2_lk" later "mamodel.m2
4. Port Skins (only view c++ source)

Solved.

Solved.

If the .skin file has the same name as the .m2, it's getting automatically updated.
