[TUTORIAL:] a way to fix legion m2 anim

[schlumpf]

can you name a model where this is required?

[MR. Farrare]

CreatureGennGreymaneGennGreymane.m2

[Alastor]

for another example

NightElfFemale.m2 from Legion has plaback speed 9830550
"only from some Emotes like Sit / lay not for Walk / run /fight "

I already mentionned this change on the wiki. Still needs to be researched.
This is empirical, it needs to be checked on the source, but I believe
uint32 blendTime
has become
uint16 blendTime
uint16 blendTime2

The first blendTime has the old value, and when blendTime2 is set it's often a copy of the first.

So, if originally it was
uint32 blendTime = 150 (0x96 00 00 00).
It becomes
uint16 blendTime = 150 (0x96 00).
uint16 blendTime2 = 150 (0x96 00).

If you try to read it as uint32, you'll obviously get 0x96 00 96 00 = 9830550.

It implies that for a correct conversion, you would need to set the blendTime2 to 0 and not set the 32 bits to 150. Because if for some reason it was 133, you would set the wrong blendTime.
I build a little converter that converts Legion M2 to any other M2 format : https://github.com/Koward/jM2converter

I was looking at this m2one template and i was wondering why would it need to rename the models name that the program opens to "By Alastor Strix'Efuartus" if it just opens a file?

The common M2template1 seems to be working just fine with this legion models anyway.

Since its my script concept its sined by me its that simple
and i am using different M2 template with added advanced options for some things like XY wraping etc ... i am using this template everywhere so i just packed it in case that you dont have any template its nothing special to care about
