[RELEASE] [WotLk] Character Models(no npc)

[Finsternis]

Hey, I'm using your models and they're really are great, so I'll start off with saying a HUGE thank you for all the work you've done (the creature models too!).

I mainly have 3 questions:

- Are you even thinking about making them for NPCs? And if you're not, I might try. But I was wondering, how hard would it be to do?

- This is more of a random question, but in your opinion, would a texture overhaul of WoW be impossible? Kinda like the ones modders make for things like Skyrim... I was just wondering, because that would be pretty amazing, even though I doubt anyone is crazy enough to try ahaha

- no i will not. Cant say how hard it is for you.But you have to edit each 3D model for the max poly count and you have to solve many propblems^^. And i dont know if there need dbc work too. Never look at it couse i never planned it. Or you use my character models and modify the uv back ( but i made alot special so that is alot work too)

I tried some hd textures and improve realism textures but no.
The engine(no bump, normal ect maps) is for this "comic style" and texturs wich bigger than 512x512 and sometimes 1024x1024 make no difference. And over 1024x1024 the load time increase alot.

Just wondering, but would you ever even be interested in doing npcs if you were paid for it? Because I'm sure quite a few people would be willing to pay to have fully working WoD character models ahaha

By the way, concerning the HD textures, did you only try with realistic ones? I was thinking about trying to make comic versions, but in HD like the ones you find in later expansions, not sure if it's possible though, what do you think?

-Nope that will just made problems. I will not do it^^

-Ya i try realistic and some more comic style things. Often the problem on old files that the uv is a chaos, so that more detail bring not more visual improvement.
I made for some ahn'qiraj weapons new textures with the old uv´s.Some was the hell^^.
Just try it and u will see what i mean.

The perfect retro port would include legión animations wod npcs, And updated spells...   But ir is unrealistic that ir Will happen, I would pay for a package like this made for Wotlk.

Another "dream" convertion would be updated land masses (cata like Azeroth with updated Stormwind.    The problem with this The last one are the NPC in wrong positions in The map (fixable with patience by reassigning waypaths, And positions).   The hardest is to do is addapt ING npcs Vmaps And maps so they dont hop in the New Land masses. (Places like Uldum And Twilightt higlandss where there is sea un 3.3.5a.

Finsternis have already said that he won't do new npcs models.
We hope he will change his mind in the future maybe, but surely not atm :-P

I've seen in the creatures and mounts thread that patch K has been updated. So let's say the same thing in this thread also :-)

[j4ckor]

I wanted to update this post, to say that from like 2-3 weeks the users are trying both char and creatures/mount models and they did not find bugs (except from the already reported boar and dragon scaling).
I'm also heavy testing almost all and I'd say we are near the perfection

Hey guys so I've a nightmarish problem xD, I donwloaded all the patches (Patch A B F G K) and tried them on Warmane, I also moved Patch-W (the one of Warmane) to see if the game worked with the models good.

So my characters look perfect, creatures too, but npcs... are a nightmare to my eyes  :shock: at the first time they were all green missing their textures, so I putted back in the patch-w and hell.... the textures of all npcs are messed up! It's terrible!
So I know Finsternis won't make a npc patch (wich makes me very sad still thanks a lot for this pathces!)

I just wanna know if someone had this same problem of mine and if there's a way to fix it or what im doing wrong, I'm pretty noob in this stuff so if anyone can help me I'll love him/her to my grave :3 cause IS THE DREAM TO PLAY WOTLK WITH LEGION MODELS <3!
