[QUESTION] Vertex Shading Issue?
« on: November 05, 2014, 03:03:53 am »
Hey guys!

So, today I converted the Ironforge .wmo from the WoW Alpha over to 3.3.5a using Mirrormachine to convert from WMOv14 to WMOv17.

Everything works fine ingame, however I seem to be getting an issue with the vertex shading. It should be a warm red colour like this:





Instead, it's a green colour like this:





At it's face this would seem to suggest a missing texture, but if it is then I can't for the life of me figure out which. Peeking around on WoWDev and hex in general hasn't revealed much. Any thoughts guys?

EDIT: The vertex shading displays correctly in WoW Model Viewer.

Very odd I tend to play a lot of vanilla wow and I just got on to make sure and I don't see why the older version of ironforge would have this issue in wotlk even though ironforge didn't really change all that much.

I had such "greeny" issue with some Wildhammer buildings and problem was that I actually really missed one reflect BLP. WMV didn't export that image, but it was used and needed. When it was missing, places covered with that shading reflect turned a bit greeny. Some more, some less. IF is huge WMO with huge amount of textures, I know, but I would start again in 101/HxD and check if you really do have all BLPs used in your game patch, especially BLPS which have "reflect" in their name.

I'm certain you're right Amaroth, but i've scanned the wmo in a hex editor and I can't find any missing textures!

Any ideas on this guys? I tried a whole bunch of things to no avail (multiple kinds of conversion, .dbc stuff, looking around in HxD).

I could upload the root .wmo file if anyone was interested double checking it for revealing things in hex.
