Oh, so cool, is there any chance to edit weapon models, not to swich models...

 

[dante20071]

Great post.

Why would you get f***** for editing your models? You could say it was for educational purposes.
Blizzard make me laugh with all there rules and regulations.

 

[dante20071]

So when you edit these models can everybody else view them or is it just in your game?

 

[melikeme]

I Just got this guide to share so i didnt do anything,,

 

[Suicide]

Just you. And if you do not edit them right you can get errors and stuck at places.

Yeh... so er.. who here's gonna be playing the servers of European and if you keep the model changing to yourself.. who's going to notice? Everyone here is up to making there own server and making things the way they want it.

[evansg4]

I get lost at 14, how do we rename demonhunter.m2 if we never put demonhunter.m2 in there? All you said to put there was DruidBear.m2 and DruidBearSkin.blp no Demonhunter.m2

 

[dclord]

This is basic model editing and the easiest there is tbh.what i do is changing colors of armor etc,..That's far more detailed,For example I made a black T5 for warriors.This are just basics

 

[whackedgsgw]

Ok now i can export models and blp files, i can export them from model veiwer to make milkshape3d files , is their any way for these 3 things

edit .m2 models or make milkshake3d ones to .2
Upload those models into the mpq with a display id
Upload those models into the mpq with a display id that is new

if you can do any of these (2 would be best) then i will make a how to make custom weapons and armor (including models) guide, and upload a dbc editor for you guys.:cool3:
