applying textures to item-related objects

[Ethereal 1]

I have, n o idea, how possible this would be -- but to the point.

 

Every weapon or shield or shoulderpiece or whatever, in WoW, has an object to go with it - same with creature models and all that.  I believe these were recently removed from .lo obj due to the fact they're just untextured blobs when spawned in.

 

But what if there was a way to spawn them in, and select what texture they use? 

On WoW.tools each of these objects can be previewed and in the bottom right you can pick what texture to preview them with, if that feature was somehow implemented into commands it would open up the entire WoW item database to be used as objects, which would be pretty cool for decorating I'd say.

i dont think this will ever happen

 

azarchius mentioned once that it'd require something along the lines of making a new object entry for every item model with that corresponding texture or something like that
