@yopel2 Your screenshots are broken, please, reupload them. Btw, we need to know how exactly you trying to convert your models into wow file formats.

99% sure there is a bad converted or exported model. Make sure your WMOs and M2s do not crash your client and Noggit. Also you don't need to paste all of your crash log, it's pretty useless for us. The whole error message is just: ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception Program: C:\ProjectFolder\Client335aNoggit\Wow.exe Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 0023:007B31F8 The instruction at "0x007B31F8" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "read".

Which one of the patches did you used?

Thank you for the info. Afaik, all Legion IDs are known since Blizzard leaked all of them with the Classic patch.

Yeah, skel file format is already supported ? We just need to wait and help to Skarn as much as we can. Presumably release coming on winter.

Yeah, I see it. Looks like it's a stolen patch (yours). I will make an own patch soon, so maybe I will ask you for some help.

CASC is proprietary 'closed' file format. Many WoW modders right now working on CASC to make it available for users. I don't know much about CASC myself, the facts that I know are: people can mod Legion by changing existing files and put custom files instead there is CASCHost which gives you an opportunity to create an own WoW Legion server with CASC support afaik CASCHost makes own builds of files, so you can create custom CASC patches and mod Legion for BfA Blizzard chaged their client, so it's obfuscated in BfA textures and all the files have an IDs, so there is no more file-paths inside. Many of the IDs are decrypted, but that's not enough. I'm just 3D modeler and designer myself, I don't know much about actual client structure and file formats, so you may find your answers in our Discord.

It is possible to mod both BfA and Legion, but for BfA there are no tools yet.

World of Warcraft\Data\ That's for 3.3.5 game version (Wrath of the Lich King) This version is the most available for modding here. For now it is possible to mod any client version (from Classic to Legion), except BfA. Since Legion there is no MPQ file system anymore. Blizzard started to use CASC. For CASC manipulations try to find guides around the forum or any info on wowdev.wiki. In the future there will be a huge guide about Legion modding, so you need to wait for a while.

@gabsuslol I know about this problem. Some of the NPC aren't done yet. I took this patch from Warmane client, so their devs should be purged for that I'll redo this work in my own way in the nearest future, when the WoW Blender Studio will be finished. All the files and patches will be decrypted, so there will be no problem to extract and change it. For better results, you just need to wait, as I said.

World of Warcraft client files are in .MPQ patches. To open them, you need to download MPQ Editor (link) First of all, you need to find where this texture is contained (which one of patches). If you want to override it, you can create a custom patch. This is default Data folder MPQ structure. You can create custom patches as folders. Just name your folder in same way: Put your files in same folder: For example, I want to change eyeglow for Blood Elf. All I need to do is create same folder structure: patch-S.MPQ/Character/Bloodelf/female/deathknighteyeglow.blp Where deathknighteyeglow.blp is your updated texture. There will be a guide for beginners soon, don't worry about it. Anyways, if you have any questions or need help, you can ask for it here.

@gabsuslol For now, you can download it.

Here is the link: But the download link is out of date. I already PM'ed Roarl about that issue. I hope he will upload his files again soon.

Can you upload your MPQ patch? I'll take a look.

You can try to convert images without compression and type 9 or more mipmap levels.

My advice (from painter to painter): Don't be afraid to play with contrast and smoothing, it will help you with understanding the WoW-like texturing.
