for current retail patch modding, with the wowtools blender plugin is it possible to make a new mesh's texture scroll? so for example i have a horn, i want to add a glowing overlay over that horn, that i can add, but can i somehow flag that specific object to have a moving/scrolling effect?

if this isnt supported here then my bad but to clarify we use m2mod to convert wow m2 to m2i, wowtools to import m2i to blender then rexport and repackage the m2i to m2 to load into arctium for retail modding

and in wowtools it lets you assign materials to new meshes which does work, it just doesnt quite do what i want it to do and was hoping someone might know how

wowtools has nothing to do with m2i

and doesn't support anything modding related in general, it's just used to view data

m2mod has their own blender plugin for m2i

m2mod is quite outdated though and hasn't been updated in a while I don't think it would work with retail, people probably have some new converters now, either from m2mod or WBS
