Noones Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hello everyone, i know im asking to many questions but still i got the following problem: I followed the Retro Porting Guide in this Forum about porting Cata Creatures to WOTLK. ( ) i downloaded the Folder from the creature "Whaleshark", Converted it via Cata to LK m2, added an entry to CreatureModelData.dbc, added 4 rows ( 4 skins ) to creaturedisplayinfo.dbc, added the display ids to creature_model_info in the database. The creature / the morph just makes me invisible and unable to move, could anyone help me with it? What did i do wrong? I tried this Tutorial with different entrys, no success. Greetings Noones Edit: A few Screenshots: 1. CreatureModelData.dbc: http://prntscr.com/af1oum ( I Tried M2 since .MDX didnt work, already changed it back to .mdx, still no success ) 2. CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc: http://prntscr.com/af1p40 3. Creature Folder: http://prntscr.com/af1p7i 4. Creature_model_info Database: http://prntscr.com/af1pdh 5.

Adspartan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 The converter is not up to date, you have to remove the MH21 chunk manually before using it. And it's possible that particles are not handled well. When you're invisible and unable to move it means the model has a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noones Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Thank you for your fast answer, is there an up to date converter? Also what exactly do you mean with "remove the MH21 chunk manually" ? Im sorry but im pretty new to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adspartan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) I'm going to upload mine which does that. Legion added a new structure at the beginning of the m2 which start by "MH21" in ascii, you have to remove it using an hex editor (like 010 Editor) If you want more informations on the m2s go there : https://wowdev.wiki/M2/WotLK Edited March 14, 2016 by Adspartan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noones Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks, but the Model i want to use is a Cata Model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adspartan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 My bad ^^ Then it might comes from the particles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noones Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Anyway the Model i got from CASC is starting with MD21: http://prntscr.com/af26nk Is this what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adspartan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yes ! If you take model that was introduced in cata in a legion build it will have it (not 100% about that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noones Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Ahh so i need to removed the md21..... With 010 Editor ? Or can i have your converter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adspartan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yes you can select everything from "MH21" to "MH20" (excluded) and delete it. As for the converter I'll upload it in a few minutes in the Files section ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noones Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks, i will try to redownload the Model from CASC and then convert it with your converter, will update here if it works! Update: Still invisible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adspartan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Have you tried to morph yourself into the creature ? (on TC you can morph without changing anything in the server) Are the dbc on your serveur updated as well ? if you've put the .mdx back the dbc looks fines to me, and if the server does not recognize the model id it doesn't spawn the model.

Noones Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yes the Server and Patch files are both the same ( with the model in it ) i can morph into it ( same bug, invisible, cant move ) in the Patch i got the Folder Creature\Whaleshark\ with all files in it Could you take a look @ the screenshots i posted? Maybe i made a mistake here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adspartan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Can you send me your unconverted model ? I'll try when I get back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adspartan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I haven't tried converting model from the last two patch that came out this weekend (I think), maybe the problem comes from here. Try the 4th build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noones Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Oh my god that worked, thank you! I feel so stupid for using the wrong source Edit: Proof:http://prntscr.com/af4vim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adspartan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Edit : nevermind I just tested with the last build and it worked fine. Did you try to convert an already converted model ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
