Quote: Well, I just started trying to learn model editing tonight, because I'd really like to become good at this.

Anyway, for my first step in learning I did a "reskin" of the 2handed sword from Sunwell, Apolyon the Soul-Render.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to edit particles, so this is just a minor change really, would look much better if I could edit the particles. Hopefully I'll get there.

So here's what this changes the current Apolyon, the Soul-Render to.

Here's more like where I want to get it to.

Anyway, if you need any help, let me know. Here ya go.

Bookmark that page. If you ever want to get into hexxing a model, that would be the best place to get your info from.

Also, download this: http://yamachi.wowps.org/uploads/CryectsTools.rar

Those programs will help you do a few things with M2's, including changing particle colour.

Thanks for the info. I'm a little disheartened now as I just spent the last few hours trying to make the season 3 pally set red/black/silver and it shows me naked in game [Image: frown.gif]

EDIT: Okay, I was trying to run / do anything with CryectsTools... I have to have a C++ compiler to compile it first...? I downloaded one (Borland C++) but I can't get it to work... it says I need to make certain .cfg files in certain directories... I don't know how to make .cfg files......................

Quote: Character and certain clothing BLPs are palletized alpha images. I posted a link to a program that will convert them properly in some other thread, so just do a search and you'll find it. Also, Cryect's tools are already compiled, but the source is there if you want/need to change them.

Quote: Meh, I've tried editting the particles on the Torch of the Damned / s3 mace for a couple hours now... Nothing is changing though =/ One time I turned the model entirely black and the particle was invisible. This is tough. Make a guide on turning the s3 2handed mace particles a different color! I'll give you 2 rep >.<

Quote: In the model:

. . read:

. . . . 0x13C - uint32 - nParticleEmitters - number of particle emitters

. . . . 0x140 - uint32 - ofsParticleEmitters - offset to particle emitters

. . go to the value that is set at ofsParticleEmitters.

. . apply the structure you find at the wiki nParticleEmitters times.

. . for each particle emitter go to

. . . . 0x150 - uint32[3] - ARGB colors (start, mid, end)

. . edit the values here. they are in aabbggrr. normal hex-colors.

. . if nothing changes read the texture.

. . . . 0x016 - int16 - Texture ID

. . this one is an index in the textures block (ofsTextures)

. . look for the offset to the filename here and read it.

. . change the texture in an external app.
