I will double check the detail and equipment IDs in CreatureDisplayInfoExtra to try and fix the checkered box model.
I found this on the wowdevwiki on the Sound field in the CreatureDisplayInfo file "Sound iRefID If 0 - CreatureModelData information is used. Otherwise, overrides generic model settings for this displayID." That might be why it is effecting all orc models.
I am still stumped on the texture issue though.

Checker box usually means a model file was not found so maybe a path is wrong or mistyped.

<@809907704981618749> <@356670181130633218> I appreciate the help so far. I messed with it some more and the CreatureDisplayInfo and CreatureDisplayInfoExtra files seem correct.
I realized that I do not have an entry in the CreatureModelData dbc. Is this needed? How is this tied back to CreatureDisplayInfo?

I did find out that I did not just destroy the orc textures, but the textures of all creatures in game so that is progress in debugging this.

This is what my patch looks like:
In DBFilesClient I have CreatureDisplayInfo and CreatureDisplayInfoExtra dbc files
In BakedNPCTextures I have the blp file

CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc has a column for model id which is the row id from CreatureModelData.dbc

If I remove the patch all texture files are fixed, but this become my custom NPC so somehow my patch is overwriting all of the game's texture files.

Let me try and create a new entry in CreatureModelData.dbc and match it back.

CreatureModelData.dbc is how you specify a path to a model file so that you can create display id for it in CreatureDisplayInfo

I don't have a custom .mdx file for this. Can I just use the orc male model "51" or do I need to somehow get a custom .mdx model from WMVx?
