Just an extra bit of information regarding changing hairstyles when a race-to-race edit has been done.

If you're going from a race with fewer hairstyles to a race with lesser hairstyles, it does not matter. Just use the geoset number of the hairstyle you want in your new race.

Example: Night Elf females have a maximum geoset number of 8, whereas scourge males' geoset numbers go up to 10.


-My current toon
NightElf female: 4 , 1
Hair style: 2
Geoset: 4

-The hair style I want
Scourge Male: 5 , 0
Hair style: 9
Geoset: 10

I changed:
4 , 1 , 4 -> 4 , 1 , 10

Voila! The flowy hairstyle!

Geoset numbers are tied directly with the model that is being used for the characters' skeleton.

Hmm., what happens when one goes to a race with fewer geoset numbers and the old character has a higher geoset number than the new race (skeleton model) currently supports? No hair?

ive always wanted to change my gay hair. great guide

[Xloited]

Hey great guide and all but unfortunately it didn't seem to work for me and I was hoping you could point out my mistake (I'll probably slap myself in the face when I notice it but I just can't figure it out :P)

I changed my gnomefemale to a humanfemale, I've got haircut 4 geoset number for both human and gnome is geoset 3 I wan't Haircut 1 and geoset number is geoset 6, I've swapped them even as you can see on this picture:

But it has no effect at all ingame, please point out any things I might have missed. ty in advance

Oh and if it matters anything at all before doing this I also changed my haircolor from 08 into 01 (grey to black)

Did you change the human or gnome geoset? (too lazy to look it up myself)

[Xloited]

AH yeah I just figured it out I changed the human (1) instead of gnome (7) took like 10 + tries but it's worth it, as soon as I find out how to give you 2 rep I'll give it :P Thanks for the quick response btw

I'm having some trouble getting mine to change, but that's because I did a tauren to night elf conversion (so I'll keep fussing, as one guy said he did have success with hair changes after a UD to night elf swap).

However, my hair is flat neon green (ImageShack - Hosting :: wowscrnshot031408114651jm6.jpg), and I'm not sure how exactly to fix it. (I assume it has to do with .blp files, but I've only been at this for a day or so and I'm still learning).

As far as I know this means it can't find the texture for your hair.

I've got a quick question.

Is there any remedy to making all hairstyles work on models? Like, I've swapped my Female Orc with a Female Night Elf. Though, it wont display all the hairstyles on my Night Elf correctly. Some work, some don't, basically. Anyways, is there a way to go about correcting this?

pwns +rep for you

[racemx81]

This doesn't seem to work since 2.4. For some reason I get a critical error on startup when it tries to read the CharHairGeosets.dbc file.

Any idea if there is a new way to change hair styles?

edit:

nevermind, the new ME fix just posted made it work

[Laokon]

EDIT: Works now thanks
