[Archive] [Help] Shadowland M2 with just one Skin file.
Original source
Hey,
as the title said, some of the new stuff there have just one skin file and i cant port it down without wow error.
Some of them had in earlier ptr versions more skin files and some never had more than one.
Have maybe anyone a solution to make them work in wotlk?

O had something different in mind.
i'm pretty new, but I assume when multiple skin files are present then the model is still not fully finished.
end result is mainly one skin and multiple blp files for different (colors/skins)

Models with a lot polygons have often more than one .skin file.
There is LOD, some shader and textur stuff inside and ye i cant downport these new with just one skin file.
Maybe it is something else what i not see, but the point i see is the skin different.

I've been trying to retroport Thrallshadowlands as of late too (with no luck). But, in doing so, I've found on Wowtools that he does have 3 LOD .skin files as well, though his m2 doesn't seem to be dependant on them. Maybe try looking on that website's database for the extra skin files and see if you can edit the m2 to refer to them or something?

Still no one an idea :< ?
But when I get things to work in game i have to mess with bones and the model gets bugged. If someone could teach me how to merge certain bones into others this would be a great help
(like bones 140-145 - fingers -> into 55 hand etc) (Numbers might be inaccurate but roughtly those)
Edit: Ok so i managed to get the model into blender in its original state.
First problem on it 39k polygons, and our max in wotlk is +-21500
Second problem, 230 bones and max in my case is 69.
After deleting most of the bones WICH IS NOT THE CORRECT WAY TO HANDLE THIS
I ended up with a usable model ingame or in model viewer. But because of the action above this is now very very glitchy.
pieces of the model no longer have a decent snapping point so the model looks really bad & weird..
I also included every stage in a rar file
1/ Original model
Thralls original
2/ Original model with m2i (for blender)
Thrall original with m2i
3/ Original model adjusted in blender (low poly, 69 bones)
ThrallS lowpoly69bones
4/ low poly, 69 bones model but WITH txid fixed & converted to wotlk (usable in game)
