UPDATE: fixed the tauren npcs hair from previous version. Tauren male npcs now have horn textures slightly off, but it is better than the hair bug before-hand, barely noticeable, and all other npcs are perfectly fine.

Also adds the option to select taunka hair/tail color for more customization.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After tooling around, I was able to add support for the HD models using a combination of warmanes, Finsternis, and Bocoio WOD character model patches as well as modifying some of my files in the previous version.
This new HD version actually fixes A LOT of bugs with the original. All npcs use the WOD models, including tauren npcs and no longer suffer from blurred faces. Tauren male npcs horn textures are slightly off, but barely noticeable, and all other npcs are perfectly fine. This patch also adds eyes to the player taunka. Helms are no longer blue cubes.

"Horn Color" is replaced by "Hair color" and changes the hair/tail color. If you don't like how it looks on your existing tauren, go to the barber and change it.

Thank you to all the developers of the wod character models, and special thanks to Finsternis for helping me resolve some bugs

• Patch-Z.mpq is the taunka edit, all other .mpq are the HD models. This patch will only work with the HD models. If you do not like the HD models, see "SD Model".
• If you already have the updated character models, just place patch-z in data.
• If you do not, place ALL .mpq in data folder.
• If you have updated models but not for npcs, delete your .mpq and place ALL downloaded .mpq in data folder.
• For Warmane clients, Remove patch-X, Patch-W, patch-enUS-W and patch-enUS-X from the data and data\enUS folders. place ALL downloaded .mpq in data folder.
• For project Ascension players, Just rename my patch-A to patch-B and rename my original Patch-B to patch-C

If your getting crashes/low fps in dalarn, it is because WOW can only use 2gb of RAM. Download https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/ to allow the wow.exe to use more than 2gb of RAM.


OLD SD MODEL (classic character models)
This is a improved version of my old https://www.ownedcore.com/forums/world-of-warcraft/world-of-warcraft-model-editing/433012-tauren-taunka-swap.html . This patch is converted to wotlk, as I figured it would have more use on this patch than 5.4.

This swap changes the tauren model to taunka, and improved features are skins matching orginal tauren skin colors, and no more blank facial hairs! Tooltip names are also changed from Tauren to Taunka for more immersion. npcs still have blurred faces. Helms are slightly misplaced, can always hide helm.

I am trying to fix some baked textures after swapping a character model with a another unused one. The player looks fine, but the npc faces are all messed up. I extracted BakedNpcTextures as I understand I need to replace their face files with my current swapped race. But there are over 15,000 blp files with no names of meaning. Am I suppose to convert each one as a png, see if its a tauren, and then change it? or is there a faster way?

Got a request for someone to make orc---->ogre with armor for 4.3.4. paying 10$ for this project whoever wants to take it up.

And also someone to make Tauren to Taunka 4.3.4 I have have a working swap for this and will provide my files, i just want someone to fix baked npc textures. 20$ for this project.

I am NOT a leecher on the forums, have released some stuff and honestly i could do these, im just really tired and to much of a headache.

PM me if anyone interested, will pay through paypal.

its been a while since i made a model edit for 2.4.3 and whenever i create the patch in mpq ediotr (latest version) and place it in data folder it doesn't read it! i am using the costume .exe wowmes but the client acts like that there is no extra patch in  there. i named it patch-3

So im trying to port the warlock green spells, but i opened up spells in the database, and oh boy. Can someone list to me all the spells affected by this and what the name of their .m2's are?

So I know the new player models have been converted to cata and wotlk successfully, and i am wondering if there is anyone who has had the same luck with TBC? just a thought.

This changes the old female model to the new one, working for live servers, patch 5.4. There are a couple of known issues, such as, DK eyes are a horrid ugly green, some animations will not work, male humans look like shit, and female human npc look like shit. ( none of these can be fixed except the female npc, but that would take a good 2 weeks to fix, and i am excited to release this. )
PLACE THE PATCH IN YOUR LOCALE FOLDER!  IT WONT WORK IF ITS JUST IN DATA!

proof:

I understand why we cant swap the new character models because of how many polygons the current client can handle and blah blah, but today i tried swapping the kor'kron horde mount to the new core hound mount, and crashes my game straight up, I checked in model viewer, and it has the model form, but no textures, so I tried swapping the corehounds mount .blp to the old corehounds .blp's, essentially they are the same except in different positions. Still crashes. why is this?
