You don't need to install Python to use Blender. It is compiled into an .exe, so you don't need it. You can just update to the latest version of Blender and check if M2Mod3/4 plugins work there.

I am not really an expert in all those model related things but does not a model like require a kind of attachment point or smth to show where it sticks to the arm? Try asking Amaroth he did some weapons just a few days ago.

Does it show the cube instead of the model? If it does not, it means that the model is not ever referenced correctly. Did you upload DBCs to the server as well?

It should be possible to turn them off. There are half transparent skyboxes in WoW since WotLK I believe.

I fixed it. They were pointing to our old domain, hence not working. I plan to rework some parts of the tutorials in a few days. There are some missing/wrong information in them. But nothing wrong to prevent one from learning now. All the tech information is correct.

Lol, had a laugh reading those last few messages. I think I know why your model have no textures. Textures for creatures are not hardcoded in the model itself, they are defined in some kind of DBC. Take a look at the wiki to see which one. Don't really know about your other problems as I am not doing any creature modding.

Man, I am not trying to be a prick but there is much more efficient way to present your information than making a video. In your last message you posted 4 videos, 16,11 min long in sum. The average reading speed is 200 to 250 words a minute in non-technical material. Assuming that I read fast and your stuff is a technical material my reading speed is 250 words a minute. This paragraph contains exactly 100 words and bears quite enough information to prove that videos aimed to expressing speech is not an effective way to state your problem. So, will you keep recording every other thing or make a proper long text post stating your problem? It may be supplied with pictures or short videos demonstating the bug. Then we would be able to understand better and faster what's the issue and help solving it.

@wungasaurus The right one invokes my trypophobia.

Very tidy and good-looking desktop here.

The key thing in understanding of how to do stuff is figuring out how wow handles its files. You need to go step by step by reading tutorials and trying them out even if you don't really want to make for example custom maps. Before doing any modding, I strongly recommend to complete at least beginner's guides here.

As I said it is hard to find a skeleton for this model because he uses stuff like crab claws, wooden leg, etc.

At some point that reminds me of the Gnome. http://lurkmore.to/Гном

I think it is totally fine while it still moves, does not stink and is not full of maggots.

Just got hooked by this song for some reason. Just brings me some thoughts.

It can be done using alphamaps. Shaping can be either done in Blender or in Noggit, or anything other 3D Editing programm. I don't see any problem at all. You should really pay attention to our beginner's tutorial section. I know many stuff there is boring and you may already know it but it seems there are actually a lot of infromation that you have no idea about either.

I will install VS soon on my PC and test if it works. Thanks for making a fix.

Yeah, maybe it is a hardware issue. This whole thread is not about serverside objects but about real ADT entries. So, world database or worldconfg won't help in any way here.

I thought the world config but it gives lag do you know the name of the tool ?? ViewDistance. It won't help with gameobjects. Thx, I will try to find that tool. Anyway, bounding box isn't something I would like to make larger. My zone is getting a little bit laggy due to large amount of trees even now, and I don't want to have those docks and things like them rendered when players are not facing them. There is no other way to do that. Also the zone should not get laggy, it is most likely duplication or some similar bug. I remember huge overloaded zones which were running smoothly with 50-60 FPS.

There was a tool for increasing M2 view distance. If it does not help, increase bounding and vertex boxes.
