Title: [QUESTION] WoD -> Cata Gorehowl Crash
Post by: Смердокрыл on July 19, 2015, 12:25:43 am

Hey!
I am trying to downport the HD Gorehowl from WoD to Cata. I extract the files

(Axe_2H_Gorehowl_D_01_HD.blp
axe_2h_gorehowl_d_01_hd.m2
axe_2h_gorehowl_d_01_hd00.skin
ARMORREFLECT_RAINBOW.BLP
corgifire.blp
Electric_Liquid_Strength_A.blp
Flower_Blendadd.blp
T_VFX_Sun_64.blp)

and edit

"axe_2h_gorehowl_d_01_hd00.skin"
(struct TEXU TextureUditsstruct TEXU TextureUdits"enum TEXUNITFLAGS flags" to "TU_Static (16)", "uint16 order" to "16", "uint16 d4" to "1")

and "axe_2h_gorehowl_d_01_hd.m2"
(struct M2_file"uint Version" to "264", "uint nTexUnits" to "1", "uint ofsTexUnits" to "1CDC0h"(value from "uint ofsTexAnimLookup"), "uint nParticleEmitters" to "0")

I also change all the paths in ItemDisplayInfo.dbc to the new ones, and put the dbc into the patch and into my server dbc folder.

After that, I log into my client, select the char (I have the gorehowl equipped on my char), and the client crashes.

Please help!

First of all, make sure you converted the model correct. I would strongly recommend PhilipsTNG Converter ( viewtopic.php?f=59&t=9104 (http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=9104" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) ) - It will make your work way easier.

Make sure you added the item correctly into the DBC, take another Axe for example and try to copy-paste the row and modify only the path of the MDX and the texture.

Tried the converter, still have the same problem.
I just replaced the paths in existing gorehowl line, so shouldnt be any problems with that.

I downloaded your patch and the axe now shows in WMV (which it didnt when I was converting in myself using the catatolk converter), but still, when I try to log into a character that has it equipped, my client crashes.

P.S. Still, thanks for the vid.
