Title: [Question][Cata] Combining Two WoD Model Patches?
Post by: Tuxter on November 13, 2017, 06:10:29 am
Would it be possible to combine two .mpq patches into one that I have for 4.3.4 WoD models?

The manupa14 models (https://mega.nz/#F!2xoUzbzL!6VOv4dLv3K4YOnDfun7itQ) have no npcs, but fully working characters. The other models from sevike777 (http://www.modcraft.io/index.php?topic=10053#p53113) have no Undead, Dwarf, and Blood Elf models but do have NPCS. I tried to combine these patches with an MPQ editor, but any changes I would make to either file would break the patch entirely.

Is combining these patches possible?

Try leaving only CharSections.dbc and CreatureModelData.dbc in DBFilesClient.

Alright. Ill delete those DBC files, and then combine all the BLPs from both MPQs, will update if it works correctly.

Leave the DBC files that I mentioned only in "SoundCache-patch-15595". The other patch has a missing listfile iirc, so you can't edit it anyway.

I added blp files from "wow-update-base-28792" to the "SoundCache-patch-15595/Character" folder and deleted CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc. The Addition of the new blp files did not apply them to the .mpq, and deleting CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc added the new models to the NPCs with incorrect texturing.

It seems that the .blp files from "wow-update-base-28792" have no effect on the mpq at all.
