I've tried downloading them and I don't think it helped. But I'll try again. Do I need SlimDX 4.0 or 2.0?

Please help CharacterCreate.lua CharacterCreate.xml

It is done, but many people (including me since recently) can't use it due to various errors, and Cromon seems to be ingoring questions in the thread.

A spell editor for Cata would help A LOT. Also, a WMO editor, since Cromon's isn't supported anymore.

Yeah, I know. That's not the reason I'm discouraged. The reason is that I realize I've had many ideas, but I've never managed to achieve anything more advanced than downporting stuff to Cata.

Turns out someone has recently achieved that: Now I just need to work out how. And I feel so very... discouraged.

Hey guys! Where can I get the most up-to-date SQL and DBC databases for Cata?

In WoD model all textures are hardcoded. In legion 3 of them (TT_CreatureSkinX) are set in CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc

Try the m2 template from here:

So the usual m2 template doesn't work? Also, the texture might be hardcoded so DBC edits won't help

When you replaced the old kodo with the new one, you also replaced the textures with the new ones. The kodo with boxes probably has that texture name linked to it, but that name is now occupied by the new legion-format texture. Basically, if you wanna keep the old kodo with boxes, I'd add that old texture somewhere with a different name, and change the linked texture via 010 editor. Or, if you want both kodos from legion, you need to find out which textures they use (010 again) and import them too.

The adts I wanna import are edited original adts, just in case. Could I downport the Cata version of the whole continent, then merge the adts and upconvert back? Or, could I downport the Cata version, edit the original adts myself and then upconvert back? I probably could, but would I loose any quality?

So, right now I have two adts with a bunch of wmos and m2s on them, all in WotLK format. I want to replace two adts on the original Cata eastern kingdoms with the two new ones. How do I do it?

I just gave an example of such a topic I believe what he means by money in modding is something different from the current situation (and, to be honest, I agree with him on that), because the idea is not of money exchange within the modding community, but between the modding community and the "outside world", with benefit to the modding community.

So, does anyone know of a converter to upconvert WotLK wmos to Cata?

Dim A, B As Integer 1) For example, there's a topic on modcraft where people post what tools they need most. Make a big poll with those as options, that would be open for A months 2) After A months choose B most popular tools and open offers for the programmers to make them. If there are multiple programmers that want to do the same job, also open a little poll for people to choose one of them. 3) When a programmer for a tool is selected, open a donation for that specific tool, stating what sum of money was agreed on with the programmer. 4) When that sum is collected, close the donation and pay the programmer (before or after he makes the tool - doesn't matter). The programmer should provide proof (e.g. screenshot) that he received the whole sum that was mentioned in the donation. Could also try exchanging: a modder who wants to help the community makes, for example, a 3d model for another modder who will, as payment, make a tool, which can be then released for everyone by the first modder.

MC.net and Modcraft could open donations (patreon and things like that), to later use this money to motivate the programmers

Well, there is a way of preventing stealing that's both a better use of time and good for the modding community - create so many advanced tools that it will be easier to create what you want rather than stealing it)

You're welcome)

Actually, it is not a linear proportion, more like a curve. Yes, people who want to steal will always find a way to, but there is a certain point the protection becomes so advanced, that those people who can bypass it are skilled enough to produce content themselves, and, therefore, do not need to steal.

WoW can read patches without a listfile. How does that work? And since it is, obviously, possible, can't we use that?

I'm looking to host my own server, not play on an existing one

Hey! The task is simple: remove all class icons from the character creation screen (technically, it will be one default class that everyone will have). But the problem is that Cataclysm client xml files look nothing like the WotLK's, at least judging by the tutorials on editing those. Could anyone help?

Anyoooooooooooooooone?

Aaaanyyyoooone?
