[TUTORIAL] WoD/MoP/Cata WMO Conversion Tips

[PhilipTNG]

I've been getting PM's on here among several other places asking on how to convert Garrison WMOs since just taking out the BOMS chunk won't make it work as there's a few other things going on as well that you'll have to patch up before it'll work without crashing WoTLK, not saying it'll look visually correct, I'm just here to explain how to avoid the WoW Error/Crash.

This is a followup to my first tutorial on doing simple Pandaren House WMOs.

Download links to whatever I used are available from the YouTube Video's Description. Reason for that is because it's just easier on me to update links when I have to on one place versus updating it on 7 or more places.

just write a program or script to fix wmo so you can run it in batch. Sometime it is good to do by hand for a while to get understanding of process, then when you want to smash you computer because doing all by hand is making you frustrated :x .  Then you make program/script  :lol:

Just like your listfile editor, I think you make because you get frustrated because it take so long to do by hand.  It is a good motivator for getting things done XD.

Phil, you ... are.... AWESOME!!! Thank You so much for these videos, I have been trying to figure out how to downgrade .wmo files for a long while now. I know all the information is on the forum but it was so scattered I couldn't really figure out what needed to be done. Awesome, just... Awesome, thanks =D

I somehow forgot I made this thread lol.  Anyway hopefully I've saved you some time atleast, this isn't a universal fix for every single wmo but for the most part, it'll get 99% of them working.  In some cases where the MOLR( lights ) are used, you gotta take out the whole sucker for wow to load it without crashing, one of the deepholm caves needed this to be done to it if I recall correctly.  Also taking out the MOLR flag but yeah. ^^

XD, hope this helps you out ^_^.
