    It works! Miracle!

    <3

    awesome! turns out it wasn't something i was doing wrong, it's just the shield happened to reference a different .SKIN file than what I originally thought

    replacing items is a lot less tedious than I made it out to be haha, i hope i didn't scare you away from it!

    you can mark the thread title as "complete" now if you want

    delete everything from your "Shield" folder and extract the contents of this into it, then restart your game

    in game, the items that display these custom skins are as follows:

    Gold:

    [SHIELD_ROUND_A_01BLUE_1b]

    [SHIELD_ROUND_A_01BLACK_1b]

    [SHIELD_ROUND_A_01ORANGE_1b]

    Red:

    [SHIELD_WHEEL_B_01_1b]

    I believe I fixed the crashes as well.

    rip

    let me know if you figure it out

    i sure as hell dunno what to do xD

    haha, okay, so this is interesting - i got it to work for the gold version of the shield, but only for two versions of the item

    let me see if i can get the red version working on your shield

    getting the same result - trying to wrack my brain as to why this is happening but i'm coming up blank. i've replaced items this way before with no problems

    hoping someone else on this forum will chime in because i'm an idiot

    using logic im just going to deduct that for the second shield, I'll want to take away the '_2b' at the end

    and it was pretty self explanatory for the .blp and .m2

    but with the .skin, I'm a bit confused. will it be 01Orange00 or 0100Orange

    or what

    Shield_Round_A_01.m2

    Shield_Round_A_0100.skin

    Shield_Round_A_01Orange.blp

    just pulled up the filenames for that shield, here you go. let me know whether or not it works for you by the way - if it doesn't, i'll just get it to work for me and send it to you haha

    the shield im trying to replace is named in-game as SHIELD_WHEEL_B_01_1b

    i take it that, with the custom mogit using file names, that's what I use for renaming the files

    I'd try and figure this all out myself but WMV isn't working for me

    okay, i will look at the filenames for that shield and write out a little guide for you

    1. Rename "shield_cotstrat_d_02.m2" to "Shield_Wheel_B_01" (keep it in item/objectcomponents/shield)

    2. Rename "Shield_CoTStrat_D_02Stratholme.blp" to "SHIELD_WHEEL_B_01.BLP" (keep it in item/objectcomponents/shield)

    3. Rename "Shield_CoTStrat_D_0200.skin" to "Shield_Wheel_B_0100.skin" (keep it in item/objectcomponents/shield)

    repeat for any other shield you may want to replace with different textures, for your friend

    wowmodelviewer isn't opening mine either /shrug

    it's fine though

    if you want a temporary fix it'd be easy to replace the blue stratholme shield - you'd just rename it to the blp you included in your original post, and that would work fine. i know you're looking for something people have a low chance of using though

    i'll install WMV and see if I can find it by myself

    if not, i'll come back here and whine

    but thank you so much for the texture <3

    sorry i couldn't be more helpful - if you do find it, here's how you would replace it:

    let's say you wanted to replace a bow with that shield m2 and BLP (don't do this, it's just an example - replace a shield haha). let's say you decide to replace "bow_1h_draenorchallenge_d_01.m2". you would rename the stratholme shield m2 to "bow_1h_draenorchallenge_d_01.m2". then you do the same thing with the blp - the blp you would want to replace in this example is "bow_1h_draenorchallenge_d_0100.blp", so you'd take "Shield_CoTStrat_D_02Stratholme.blp" and rename it to "bow_1h_draenorchallenge_d_0100.blp". all of these files would be in objectcomponents/shield

    sorry i can't do more, modelviewer won't load my data folder, and CASC explorer won't load at all

    any idea what the .m2 is?

     

    and it -all- goes under objectcomponents -> shield right?

    new to file editing

    i can't get modelviewer or CASCexplorer to work right now, so i don't really have a way of finding the m2 filename or the file path for you. i'm pretty sure it's objectcomponents/shield yeah

    edit THREE: okay, I really appreciate this, but how do I get it to replace a different shield that isn't commonly used? I can apply it as a patch myself (with your permission of course) but yeah

    you have my permission because that's blizzard's shield, haha, i just put the texture on!

    i'm pretty sure you just pick a shield that you think nobody will use, then replace the .m2 and .blp files of that shield with the stratholme shield
