Enjoy.

First: Download MyWarCraftStudio at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Second: Open MyWarCraftStudio, go to File > Open > C:\Program Files\World Of Warcraft\Data\Common.mpq

Third: Expand the CHARACTER(WITH CAPS) tree, make sure you have All file(*) selected. Now go to folder of the race THAT YOU WANT TO BE for example Human Male. Expand the Human folder, then the male folder right click HumanMale.m2 > extract file to desktop.

Fourth: Rename the HumanMale.m2 to the race you are currently. So for example if I want to change my Undead male to Human Male, rename the HumanMale to ScourgeMale.m2

Fifth: Make a folder on your desktop called 'CHARACTER' in CAPS in that folder create a folder with your current race, so for me Scourge. In the Scourge folder create a folder with your gender, so for me Male. Now you should have CHARACTER\Scourge\Male, copy the ScourgeMale.m2(HumanMale.m2) into the Male folder.

Sixth: Go to Pack> Create MPQ Archive and save it as patch-3.mpq on your desktop.

Seventh: Now right click in the white area(beneath C:\Documents.. yada yada) and select Import folder.
NOW TYPE, TYPE TYPE TYPE CHARACTER in the white box and press enter twice. DO NOT MOUSECLICK OR IT WONT WORK!

Eighth: Save and close Archive, delete the CHARACTER folder from your desktop( DO IT! )


K SO NOW HUR COMES PATCH-4.MPQ

First:Open MWC> File > Open > common.mpq

Second: Expand the Character tree(without caps!) and go to the folder of the race that you want to be, for example human. Right click the human folder > Extract folder > Desktop

Third: Rename the folder to what race you are at the moment, Scourge(SCOURGE seeing its case-sensitive and blizzard did SCOURGE and GAYELF in caps) for me. Delete the folder of the gender that you don't want to change(Female in my case)

Fourth: Download XNview([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) install it and open it.

Fifth: Go to your desktop IN Xnview, press the folder of your current race(SCOURGE) for me and click on the Male folder. Select all files(Ctrl+a) and press F2. Click the Replace thingy and enter the name of the race/gender that you want to be(Note: ITS CASE-****ING-SENSITIVE) so HumanMale for me. At the With bar you type the race/gender that you currently are so SCOURGEMale for me. Now press Rename.

Sixth: Create a Character folder on your desktop(This time without all the caps) and place the folder of your race in it(SCOURGE for me)

Seventh: Go to pack > Create MPQ archive and save it as patch-4 on your desktop.

Eighth: Now rightclick the White Area and press Import folder. Now type, TYPE TYPE ****ING TYPE Character in the white box and press enter twice.(IF YOU MOUSECLICK AND WHINE TO ME ILL ****ING MURDER YOU)

NINETHHEHEHT: Pack > Save and close archive

NOW PUT THE PATCH-3.MPQ and PATCH-4.MPQ IN YOUR DATA FOLDER.

Now download [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], unzip it PLZ and place it in your WoW folder. Open WoW with it instead of your WoW.exe otherwise the modelchanging won't work

[rawrfelsteel]

[Chango99]

on the sixth step i can't do anything since the file is m2 and mywarcraftstudio only opens mpq... what to do?

[Tappis]

WARNING: NEWBIE POST

Background: I downloaded MywarcraftStudio from your link and saved it at "C:\Program\MyWarCraftStudio" (swedish) wich probably is "C:\Program Files\MyWarCraftStudio" in english.
And when I've installed the program, I open the file "common.mpq" (in C:\Program Files\World Of Warcraft\Data) I get an error message saying
"Failed to load CursorCraft.dll!
The program will terminate!"

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

A quick answer would be highly apreciated.

This is the only guide that seemed to work for me. However, when I change my tauren model to a gnome (only model change I tried) the helm is huge, and when I take it off the top of my gnome's head is cut off. Also, he's not wearing shoes and when he walks it is not at a normal pace. The model looks like it's in slow motion, but he's moving at normal speed. If you can help with any of these problems I would greatly appreciate it. If you can't, thanks for getting me this far!

[wallirik]

btw. my undead model still have my orc face =)
looks stupid but still it's ok. help would be nice

[Snuggles]
