Title: [SOLVED][QUESTION] Any 3.3.5a to 1.12 tutorials out there?
Post by: Vortalex on September 16, 2015, 02:15:50 am

I'm really interested in learning more about WotLK to Vanilla conversion, and was just wondering if there were any tutorials?

Just m2 conversion.

Would you like to simply know how to get the result using tools, or are you looking for specifics in order to make programs ?

If you just want to convert a 3.3.5a to a 1.12 model, my tool can do it. Use it normally but add -c at the end of the command line.

The program don't work with everything and I don't have much time to work on it right now due to issues with my university, but it already works on a lot of models.

If you want to understand how this tool works, the 3.x and 1.x-2.x formats are detailed here :

It's just a matter of converting two binary formats with your favorite programming language.
