[QUESTION] Converting MOP & Cata -> Wotlk (m2's & tilesets)

<< < (3/3)

Ascathos:
I personally describe "porting" as basically placing it from one version to another because you don't need to do much about it. Converting means you have to change things for it to work.

schlumpf:
The problem is, that actual converting is necessary in that case, as the file formats changed. Just copying files won't work in most of the cases, except for trivial ones, where by chance no changes happened.

Devwaza:
Well, I believe I've got a better understanding for these two matter, so summing up the discussion from what the original post is about and what's been stated in the thread:

the MOP and cata tilesets does not need to be converted - simply extracted, and then re-instated in a patch wich you list in the noggit.conf, so noggit knows they exist, correct?

And the doodads (m2) needs to be converted since the m2-format changed since wotlk. But is there any information you could provide regarding the actual converting? Forum thread, tutorial, anything?

You don't need to list anything in the config. The MPQ only needs to be in the same folder as the original ones.

There are multiple forum threads on here, so you may want to look for that yourself. They are most likely in some model related forums. ;)
