What do you want from me now?? 1/6

I want you to have:

 wow.tools  (getting your .blp and .m2 files)

WDBX Editor -> WDBX Editor (editing your .dbc files to get your retroport working)

MPQEditor -> MPQEditor (creating custom patches)

Multi Converter -> Multi Converter (make your .m2 files work)

335 Server -> Server (i use this one)

WOTLK Client -> just google it (preferably a FRESH client with NO other custom patches)

TXID -> TXID (Fix our .m2 files) <- new

Stoneharry's Spell Editor -> Spell Editor (Make the spell for our Wings) <- new

HeidiSQL -> HeidiSQL (Edit spellvisualeffectname, because the spell editor has a bug that doesn't let you properly save it without having it changed in the Database first) <- new

 

TXID -> TXID (Fix our .m2 files) <- new

010 Editor -> 010 Editor (Search in our .m2 file for possibly more .blp files it may need) <- new

I hope you've seen my latest tutorial so you already know how your folder should look like.

LETS DO THIS! 2/6

Open your wow.tools, select the box with the best ping, click on the world icon after that -> World of Warcraft 9.1.5 bla bla bla

Now click on Models and search for "wings", we're going to use "capewingstiger".

It's better to change the export folder to the one you were already using so it all goes in one place (don't worry, they will create subfolders).

Use my settings and export as M2.

Now head to your exported folder, go to spells and slap that capewingstiger.m2 into TXID about 15 times. Click Fix.

Do the same now again, but use MultiConverter 3.3.0. Click Fix.

Finding "missing" files from 010 Editor 3/6

Open capewingstiger.m2 with 010 Editor, press CTRL + F and search for blp.

Make sure you're searching by text(t) (it's to the right of the search bar).

Now, wow.tools exported everything but they are not in the same folder. for example:

 

We're creating the Spell now 4/6

Enter your Database data, so it can connect to your Database.

Select Import/Export and Import every file that begins with Spell

After you're done with that, we make a "New Spell", we create it from an existing ID, i'm using the ID = 69188 since it attaches to your back already.

My new SpellID is 90008 since i already have some custom spells. 

Now listen very closely, this is IMPORTANT.

First go to Visual -> Kits & Effects and copy the first VisualKit

Now head to Base and delete "Spell Visual 1" and turn it to a 0

Go to Visual ->  Kits & Effects and Paste it there again. If the Paste option is greyed out, go to 69188 (rocket pack) and copy it from there.

Should look like this, click on Confirm. (BEFORE GOING BACK CLICK ON "SAVE SPELL CHANGES")

Now we go back to 69188 (rocket pack) and copy the lower part. Go into your new spell and Paste it in Visual Kit Effects & Attachments. Confirm this too!

Our AttachmentID HAS TO BE 12 since it will be attaching it to our Back, where wings should go to, right?

From there set all the things below to 0 or else you get a weird rotation, weird angles etc..

Weird Rotation: 

Save Spell Changes once again.

Adjusting our Spell manually in HeidiSQL 5/6

In HeidiSQL open the "spellvisualeffectname" table and click on "Data". Click on "Show all" and scroll to the bottom.

There should be a new Entry called "JetPack" or something else if you changed the name before.

We change the name to XuenWing and the FilePath to spells\capewingstiger.mdx and change everything else like i did or else they be too small (for my taste).

Go to your spell editor once again and click on "SAVE VISUAL MODIFICATIONS" they should all change to your manually edited entry.

Save Spell Changes once more and click on Import/Export, select Export and wait for all Tables to load, just click Export checked to DBC.

You can close the Spell Editor if you like to. Go into the folder of the Spell Editor and go inside of "Export". I sorted the files there by Date, so i know what i just changed, drag and drop these into your Server's DBC files. 

Make sure they are the right Time, mine are from yesterday, but i changed it today (12.02) and my server couldn't find the spell xD.

Making a Client-Sided Patch in MPQEditor 6/6

Open MPQEditor and create a new MPQ, name it patch-4.mpq and hit next until you're in the MPQ. From there you create new Folders called "DBFilesClient"; "spells" ; "Creature" ; "item"

Make sure they are separate folders, from there you drag and drop "all" the new dbc files from your Server into DBFilesClient.

Put all the files from your exported spell into the spell folder, then the siberiantigergod and pandarenserpentgod into "Creature".

then in the "item" folder create a subfolder called "objectcomponents" and put your shoulder folder in there.

If it looks like this, you're good. (no need to restart server since we only edited our mpq and no .dbc files).

Restart your Server, delete your Cache folder and type .cast 90009 (or the ID you used instead).

If you followed my steps correctly, you should look like this!

If it looks like this tho, you probably didn't add all the .blp files in your mpq patch.

If anything is incomplete, just let me know over the Discord, my name there is Tyrallis too.
