XodusArt2 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi, to communicate my issue as best as I can, I'll start by saying this, I'm modding only the latest expansions every time, and that is because I believe progress is forward, not backward. This issue; ObjtoM2 used to convert Objects into Wrath of the Lich King M2 format, which it still does. All you had to do in 010 editor was use the LKtoCata script, and it would work with WoD, Cata, MoP etc. Not working with Legion, I've tried it, and yes I added the MD21 prefix, nothing works.

Skarn Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Of course, it is possible. I just don't get what exactly you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XodusArt2 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 As for the renderflag issue, it's just due to me combining a character M2 with an armor M2, anyway, fixed. I only needed a script because there was so many flags to tick. Well, I don't wanna toss away this thread, so let's change it into something useful for others too.. How do I make an ObjtoM2 M2 compatable with Legion? I've tried this ~ Convert Obj to M2 the same way as usual Open in 010 editor and run LKtoCata script on skin and m2, add legion prefix, open m2 template and set renderflags, open game and it crashes when I enter world.

Rangorn Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 did you know you have to add the SFID chunk in the end of the m2 ? The SFID chunk depends of the number of skins you have (1 to 4) and point to filedata id for each skin You can't really add M2 in Legion, you can only swap.

Rangorn Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 if there is a way to modify the whole CASC system and include a custom root, modding can be possible. Saddly, modifying the CAS System isn't a thing i can do for the moment, too complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XodusArt2 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Woah, what? Is it possible to do them with m2modder then? Even the static M2s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Modding you dont need modify CASC, place you files in the wow dir and start the modded exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XodusArt2 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I still don't know how to make a static M2 from scratch and replace a current ingame file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. DK Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 In Legion they removed DBC/db2 structure that handles file path's and replaced the whole system with a hasing process which makes legion close to impossible to mod at all. https://wowdev.wiki/CASC#Root Here you can see what exactly I mean. In order to make "new" content you need to generate this hashvalue. So good luck with that. If that makes you break all this your welcome but Its most unlikely atm.
