So you have to make a model in retail format and then downport it to wrath manually? That just sounds like so many unneccessary steps, isn't there a tool to make for wrath right away?

WBS has m2 exporting but I think I heard its only experimental right now

Also as I already stated downporting isn't exactly working for me right now and I have no idea why

It's pretty obtuse, yeah... Sadly I don't think there's any other way about it, it's all pretty roundabout and a lot of guides for models are outdated nowadays. You can use different m2mod versions for different retail versions, and can upconvert/downconvert models from different versions freely, I haven't noticed any issues from it.

like if you wanted to edit a wrath model, you can upconvert to wod, use 4.0 m2mod to get it in blender, downconvert back to wotlk, etc

Well in that case I better figure out my downporting problems quickly because I'm gonna need a lot of custom models. I think it could be a problem with skin files not being linked properly, but I have no idea where they even are linked. Looking at the m2 in 010 I don't find any mentions of them at all

Also I don't even know what skin files do in the first place

Skin files main source of power is in the "triangles" section
Basically it tells wow how to connect the vertexes together into your finished mesh

Applying textures to each piece etc.

Ok so could that be a cause of green textures?
