Here is a method to modify resource node models so that you can see them easier. For example, you can change all herbs to a very shiny picture so that you can spot them very easiely and farm faster. Same thing could be done for mines, chests, anything basically.
* 1- Download
MyWarcraftStudio.
* 2- Open MyWarcraftStudio(MWS) and go into the File menu, and choose Open MPQ archive.
* 3- Browse to the Data folder inside your
WoW directory and open model.mpq.
Take, for example, Firebloom herbs:
* 4- Browse around to find the Firebloom model. You will find it under World/SkillActivated/TradeskillNodes/Bush_Firebloom.m2.
As you can see, this is a m2 file. You can replace this by any other m2 file.
* 5- So, choose a model you want to replace the Firebloom with. Take a treasure chest as an example. You will find the treasure chest under World/SkillActivated/Containers/TreasureChest01.m2.
* 6- Right click the treasure chest file and choose Extract File To... and save it on your desktop.
* 7. Now close MyWarcraftStudio.
* 8. Open your
WoW directory and browse to the Data folder.
* 9. Now create a directory tree that has the exact same path as your firebloom model. For example, you will create a directree tree that would be : World/SkillActivated/TradeskillNodes/
Careful! It's case sensitive. The directory World is within your Data folder. So it would be:
Wow directory\Data\World\SkillActivated...ect.
* 10. In the deepest folder (in our case, TradeskillNodes), copy the m2 file you saved on your desktop (the treasure chest file in our case).
* 11. Rename that copied file to the exact same name as the firebloom file (in out case, Bush_Firebloom.m2).
* 12. Restart
WoW.
* 13. Enjoy your firebloom that looks like chests! Obviously, if you know how to create mpq files, you could make your very own images and replace any mpq file with it!
