That doesn't have R770. R770 doesn't even come up in a Google search.

How come I can morph into my new NPC model fine, but when I try to make an NPC use it, it acts like it's an invalid model number?

If Trinitycore, make sure to include creature_model_info.

Alright, I'm going to try that out. Wish me luck, and thanks for the help dude.

Awesome avatar, by the way.

Edit - I got it to work, so thanks.

For some reason I can't get hair to work. I had to turn it off in model viewer to get it to export correctly, but for some reason I can't put it back in with the CreatureDisplayInfoExtra. Is there a trick to it?

Ive followed the guide but it does not seem to work for me, when I try to change myself or an NPC into the display ID nothing happens they stay the same and when I try to spawn the creature the skin is the same as before aswell.. as of now every NPC in-game has a white skin without any textures.. any idea what i could've done wrong?

Betting 90 out of 100 that you broke the creaturedisplayinfoextra, e.g. using Tallis.

I didnt open it with taliis.. Thank you for saying it tho it might spare me another bug similar to this one :)
I extracted both of the dbcs and only modified the DisplayidExtra or whatever it is called. I converted them back to dbcs and moved them to DBFilesClient inside of my patch map and the .blp in the path that is given in this tut. Sorry if there are any typos im writing from my phone lol

Why convert and not just using mydbceditor.

What do you mean? Im talking about converting the .csv's back to .dbc again,

Quote from: "Curas"
Last but not least you create with WinMPQ or a similar tool a patch.

Revert the two DBCs from *.csv.dbc to *.dbc by drag&drop over DBCUtil.exe

The "soldier.blp" must have the following path:
textures  BakedNpcTextures
Both DBC files must have the following path:
DBFilesClient

Start World of Warcraft and admire your work!

Did I miss anything or?

Yes just use en editor that can directly edit DBCs?

viewtopic.php?f=59&t=782

No converting needed.
