I wish it was  :lol: that's why I made this thread.

--- Quote from: "Method" ---Vanilla swapping is NOT the exact same as 3.3.5 swapping as many of the tools are incompatible and many of the filetypes are different, but the thing is, it is more than possible, and BC and Cata models/races CAN be backdated to vanilla, the problem is, like I've said, there's no real guide, just scraps of information.

Hi !

The recipe is the same. You edit DBC file (which are databases used to link a race with its models, textures, and other related stuff) to change, for your race, which file it's "pointing" to. You want to make the race Gnome pointing to the High elf files instead of the original files. You can use modern DBC editors, like Taliis, for your 1.12 edits because the DBC organization is almost the same.

Now, the next problem is the files. If it's an 1.12 race then the files are already in the game.
Otherwise..

-Alpha BC races : you can take them for the client and use them

-BC races : you have to convert the BC m2, you can use M2TBC (a little BC <=> Classic converter)

-Cata races : You need strong knowledge in C++ to make something good. No one ever converted Cata races to vanilla. NO ONE. It's not about folliowing a couple of tutorials.. more like dozens. The easiest way if you have absolutely not knowledge in programming is probably to study a couple of years Computer Science in your nearest university, so I recommend you to forget about Cata Worgens & Goblins. Be sure I'm as much disappointed as you are.

It should be more easy that you thing i think it can be posible converting it to 3.3.5 and back to 2.4.3 and then to 1.12.1

To 3.3.5, yes. It has already been done.
To 2.4.3, no. Except if you're a talented C++ programmer and able to write a converter. Currently the existing convert can only be used on simple models without anims and particles.
