Quote: A lot of you are beginners, a lot of you aren't. That doesn't matter. What does matter is that people get errors and they don't know how to fix it, so they ask here. Now that's all fine and dandy, but if you want help, you simply cannot afford to be vague about it - no one will help you, and even less people will bother. Here's a perfect example of what's bad in a help request:
"Well I have figured out how to model edit, but the head is the only problem I cant fix! Can someone help me with this? "
That's all that was said. That's like "WTF?" That doesn't give me any helpful information at all. You listed an extremely broad category of what was wrong. The head. What was wrong with the head? The helmet you are using isn't the right size? The hair is messed up? The facial textures on a race swap are wrong? What?! That being said, a very helpful error report would be as such:
"I changed a human to undead, but when I log in the helmet size is off. What's wrong?"
There. That's fantastic. It clearly states the issue and what caused it. All thats left is for people to help fix it. Now if you're getting a WoW Crash error like #132, then it gets more complicated. A good report for one of those would look like:
What Error: (WoW Crash; #132, Swap didn't work, etc)
Model Edit Fix on?: (Yes, No, Don't know)
What type of edit: (Standard, DBC, WDB)
- If DBC, what program used to edit DBC? (DBC convert ~> Excel, CSV'd, straight DBC editor, etc)
What you did: (Weapon Swap, race change, armor, whatever)
___
There. that's an even better error report, it helps people like me understand exactly what you did, what you used, and where you might have gone wrong. in fact, if every person asked for help using such a form, I'd probably help every one because it'd be so easy to read.
And there you have it, if you make your error reports clear and easy to read, you dramatically increase your changes for getting help and getting it resolved.

Quote: I had this problem, but i managed to fix it by taking one of the files out of the MWS folder, "M2Craft.dll" then i could click on m2's without an error. but i'm not all too sure weather this affects MWS in any major way.

Quote: the latest version of MWCS should have fixed the crashing, but if not, you can safely remove or delete M2craft.dll. This will have no effect on the program except that you will not be able to view models, but it's an improvement from before. You will be able to click and extract them, so it's all good. Besides, you should use Model view to view stuff like that. Much smoother.

Quote:Hey, i'm having some problems when model editing and was wondering if you could help?
I've tried to replace the night elf druid bear form with a worgen model instead.
The problem is when going ingame and changing to bear form the whole screen freezes and the character goes invinsible. In that mode I'm unable to move and turn the camera around .. altho on the minimap I can see the arrow ( indicating my character ) move around
What I did was after having replaced my DruidBear.m2 with Worgen.m2 and DruidBearSkin.blp with WargenSkinWhite.blp.
Renamed Worgen.m2 to DruidBear.m2 and WargenSkinWhite.blp to DruidBearSkin.blp.
I then put them in a new MPQ file called patch-7.mpq in the C:\World of Warcraft 2\Data folder.
Was using MyWarCraftStudio 0.8
I also started WoW using ModelChange.exe ( version 2.10 ) which I had put in the C:\World of Warcraft 2\ folder.
Would appreciate any help ..
