Adding Doodads to World Edit, editing doodad appearance?

I have been able to change doodad models by importing them into the warcraft mpq, but the doodads only appear in warcraft itself, worldedit still displays the original models. I need to know how to change what models worldedit displays or the file(s) which store the doodad information for the world editor.

It depends on the type of model, if you are changing, for example, a Nerubian Ziggurat into something like a troll hut, thats easy, but if you are talking about turning a building into the model of a cliff or a bush, you have to type in the file listed in the MPQ list. Look around, its here somewhere.

Thank you for both not reading my post and not answering my question.

I am also (finally!) working on textures now. I have succeeded in making new buildings out of doodads (where it appears both in the editor & the game), but I have not tried to do exactly what you have. If I hit that same problem (which is prolly a certainty!) and I find out anything, I will post it. There is a tutorial that I am getting into now (hosted here by wc3campaigns) that might have an answer for you already.

Hey, is there a list that explains all the paths of the .mdl (model) files?? They have seem to have every other list here, but THAT one! :rolleyes: LoL!

By experimentation though, I found the CHOAS ORC WOLVERINE model! Somebody has a sense of humor at Blizzard!

heres a list of mdxs and blps for units and buildings i think its full

Thank You.

I still have the question of how can I change the models that the world editor displays? For some reason the changes i made only appear in-game.

Try inserting those files into the .w3m (remember, it's an MPQ). But those new models and/or skins might not work unless people who play your map have matching files in their war3.mpq.

Ryujin i would like to get that "Chaos Orc Wolverine".

skin string =

units\demon\chaosorcrange\chaosaxethrower (.blp file)

model string =

units\demon\chaosorcrange\chaosorcrange (.mdl file)

enjoy
