[Archive] Difference WMV & WoW.exe?
Original source
Dear modders,
I have come across a small problem while converting content and to fix a problem one must understand the issue. But I cant seem to find a clue on what is different.
information
When loading models in Wow Model Viewer, they appear to work flawlessly.
Most models work flawlessly ingame aswell.
When WMV starts, it clearly asks if u want to load wow , wich is the exact same wow as i'm testing the models with. Now what is different between the wow client & wmv? 64 bit?
The problem
Now when configuring everything in the dbc etc, the model loads ingame and sometimes causes the character to freeze & is completly invisible,
or otherwise causes wow.exe to crash.
wich in both cases , the model doenst appear correctly.
Attempts
Now I tryed to convert my wow.exe to use more Ram(LAR)than the standard 4g, this only made it so that my wow uses all of my 16gig ram & causes my pc to freeze. So i have to force sign out to exit this state.
Have tryed using different version of wow, wich in all cases led to no solution.
Does anybody have any idea what the difference might be? Or the solution for ingame?

So for models that are loading correctly in Model viewer, than the issue would be the layers that we dont see?
Because most models that have this issue, are more "advanced" models.
