[COMPLETE] Shield recolor

[Firestorm 16]

Shield Name: SHIELD_COTSTRAT_D_02STRATHOLME_2b

screenie: http://prntscr.com/gaoa71

 

basically, looking to get this to replace some other shield, and recolored to look like a Scarlet one. Feeling like this shield would look absolutely -badass- as a scarlet crusade shield

thanks in advance

should look like the attached picture. be sure to rename it

Shield_CoTStrat_D_02Stratholme.blp

[Firestorm 16]

Can I rename it to anything?

Or is this going to replace the current one?

 

Also - I have -no idea- where to place / what to rename it.

 

Also - you're beautiful for this.

 

edit: I just realized that there are actually two shields with the same model/texture in the custom mogit. Still no idea what to do though

 

edit 2: nevermind, somehow I was smart enough to figure out where to put it by creating a new folder and slapping the file in there.

 

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

any idea what the .m2 is?

 

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

new to file editing

 

- you might need to send me the .m2 because idk where or how else to get it.............

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

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

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

okay but I can't actually see the m2, everything is hidden except for the files currently installed from patches

you can save it through modelviewer - here, i'll attach it

shield_cotstrat_d_02.m2

[Jerhammer 0]

Do you know the yellow version of that shield too or just the red.. Just asking out of curiosity.

shield_cotstrat_d_02.m2

absolutely amazing

 

is there any chance you can do a yellow version too? my friend is begging for it lol

[Firestorm 16]

also my WMV is screaming at me because I have missing DBC files apparently

/shrug

i've also attached the .SKIN file because i'm pretty sure you need to replace that

Shield_CoTStrat_D_02Gold.blp

Shield_CoTStrat_D_0200.skin

Shield_CoTStrat_D_02Gold.blp

Shield_CoTStrat_D_0200.skin

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

 

and then for the gold shield I guess i'll use

SHIELD_ROUND_A_01ORANGE_2b

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

[Avalia 45]

also to correct myself, you don't need to add .m2, .blp, .skin at the end of the names - if you do, it will not work. sorry

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

wait, if it's case sensitive then maybe i goofed up and mixed the .m2 casing with .blp
