Configuration

Application

The application will show the settings window the first time you start it. Afterwards it is always available through the menu.

Blender plugin

If you want to use the included Blender plugin for importing ADTs/WMOs with additional models at the correct positions, follow these instructions:

  • Go to the Utils\Blender Plugins folder included in the exporter download
  • Copy the io_scene_wowobj folder to your Blender plugins folder (usually Blender/2.xx/scripts/addons)
  • Open Blender, go to File -> User Preferences
  • Open the Add-ons tab
  • Filter for OBJ in the top left
  • Enable the plugins
  • Press Save User Settings
  • You can now find the WoWOBJ file types in the File -> Import menu
  • To import an ADT or WMO, navigate to your export directory and select the .obj file with the same filename as the file you exported.

Thanks, and have fun!
