WoW Model Viewer Help

Unread post by Astratia »

So, I've been trying to download the wow model viewer and have been having some issues. I can load the program to my computer. However my issue is once it's loaded it won't load up fully. The program opens but then crashes every time.

I've loaded
WoW Model Viewer 0.5.09d (Newest Version)
WOTLK Model Viewer (Chuanhsing's version)
WoW Model Viewer 0.5.05 Beta

and all three do the same thing.
Do I need to load all the versions to get it to work?
Any help would be great :)

Those are old versions. Try downloading the newest version at this page: http://code.google.com/p/wowmodelviewer/downloads/list

Maybe someone could help me out here.

I grabbed that new version, started it, chose first my standard WoW installation (is this wrong?). It crashed with a "Cannot read .mpq" error repeatedly.

I tried uninstalling, reinstalling and choosing the PTR version of WoW, but it loads the splash screen again and simply never starts. It's RUNNING in the task manager, taking up loads of memory, but never pops up and has to be manually closed.

Can anyone lend a hand? I really wish there was an "official" modelviewer out there :(

Is your WoW up in the background? The new launched locks the files, causing the WMV to crash.

Awesome, I totally didn't realize I had a minimized WoW nor did I think that was the problem. Thanks so much Saturo!
