Title: Question - Etherealrobe.m2's shoulders on Kalecgos.m2
Post by: XodusArt2 on January 18, 2014, 12:04:15 pm

So basically, I attempted to edit Kalecgos so he had the shoulders from Etherealrobe.m2, first I converted Etherealrobe.m2, and edited it in it's m2i format, I separated the shoulder part from the rest of the model, and deleted everything else, after that I imported Kalecgos.m2i and placed the shoulders in the shoulder region, made the armature it's parent, and checked the submesh which like everything else was at 0, then I exported it as an m2i 'Kalecgos.m2i' converted it back to m2, I dragged everything (incase any new files were made too) into the MPQ with the treepath base/Creature/Kalecgos/ and fired up my game, the model shows up in game as the picture depicted below, I don't know what is wrong.

Why don't you do it yourself? I think nobody will do anything instead of you.

So, here is the first attempt, without dragging everything in, just the Kalecgos.m2 toward the other Kalecgos files in the MPQ

- EDIT, after this I copied everything into the MPQ to do with Kalecgos, It was less messy, but still had this result, in some ways, like the vertices were stretching out, and I didn't know why, then I joined two skin files with the hex editor, slightly different results, I don't know what I am supposed to do.. -I joined 'Kalecgos00.skin' and 'Etherealrobe00.skin'

Looks like wrong .skin file.

So, I forgot to replace the skins with the new ones that the converter uses, but the shoulders still don't show, and the mesh still stretches off horizontally, do I require the skin for the shoulders from the ethereal model or is there some way to incorporate that skin into one of the kalecgos' skins?

Any luck with this Xodus? I'm having a similar problem with 'stretched meshes' that I just can't seem to figure out. Please let me know if you come up with a solution.

Thanks,
Epicurus
