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?

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 Sadly I don't think there's any other way about it, it's all pretty roundabout and a lot of guides for models are outdated nowadays.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.

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

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
