Model texture

[Resike]

Is there any way to change the model's texture via API? Or at least load the default/random texture to them? Multi textured models still show up textureless.

If I'm not mistaken, the way to display these models is with the SetDisplayInfo method.

Yep. With SetDisplayInfo you have access to around 50,000 models.
Don't forget about the DressUpModel.
http://wowprogramming.com/docs/widgets/DressUpModel

--dodat
    DressUpModel:Dress() -- Updates the model to reflect the character's currently equipped items
    DressUpModel:TryOn(itemID) or DressUpModel:TryOn("itemName") or DressUpModel:TryOn("itemLink") -- Updates the model to reflect the character's appearance after equipping a specific item
    DressUpModel:Undress() -- Updates the model to reflect the character's appearance without any equipped items
    DressUpModel:UndressSlot() -- This function is not yet documented

Used in:
http://wowprogramming.com/utils/xmlb...odelFrames.lua
http://wowprogramming.com/utils/xmlb...rDollFrame.lua

To get a hang of it I would check the auction house dressup model frame or the transmog model frame. If you can equip stuff there has to be any sort of api that allows you to do so.

A simple way to do it could be:

--dodat
local dum = CreateFrame("DressUpModel", "MyModelFrame", UIParent, "ModelWithControlsTemplate")
dum:SetPoint("CENTER")
dum:SetSize(172,400)
dum:SetUnit("player")
dum:Undress()
dum:TryOn(19019)

Thats not really what i want to do. I have a slider which displays all the creatures from the game. (0-1100)
Some of them displays properly, but the multi texture ones shows up as a white mdoel, i would like to randomly select a texture for the white textures and show them as it.

I don't think you can do it like that.
You can, however, go over all the SetDisplayInfo textured model numbers (~50k like zork said) and check which model file each of them is from, and use that info to display a given model with a random texture.

Why can i only get info from 50k models?

I'm pretty sure it's doable, since i'm really close to code it, i just need more data.

Actually you have enough options.

model:SetUnit() --unitid
model:SetModel() --modelpath, may have caching issues
model:SetDisplayInfo() --index, no caching issues

Plus if you have a base model you can try using dressupmodel to dress it.

Additionally you can check some other model addons for code review:

The problem is not there, but even with the 60k extracted modeldisplayinfo around 5-10% of my models still white. Is it worth if i try to get info from 60k+ displayinfo models? 60-90k seems to return "" values.

None of the addons above compelx enough to match my needs, pretty much all of them have basic model functions.

[zork]

There are no models above 60k atm.

I think i suceeded, however i need help about how could i create scrollable dropdown menus.

Currently it still have many issues, and it's not even close to be a release, but i think i'm finally getting somewhere.
