Even if the community can't move up to 6.0 as the de facto standard for modding, I hope the new race models can be cleanly backported to 3.3.5. They're absolutely gorgeous so far… Blizzard's art team has outdone themselves once again.

Cata/MoP/WoD have some nice technical capabilities that I'd really love to be able to use on a mod server, though… things like texture scaling, model to terrain blending, height-based texture painting, and terrain phasing are just great. Cata also added to ability to have ceiling terrain, which was intended for Deepholme but they opted to use a giant M2 instead. That'd be really nice for underground zones/dungeons. The code is still in the client, we just have to figure out how to use it.

That's an editor feature, so nothing we may use.

Wasn't that flag ceiling _or_ ground?

Couldn't we mimic something like that in noggit if we produced our own heightmaps for textures? We might also be able to use spec maps for makeshift height maps

Not sure, I just remember them mentioning in an interview that they had the tools team add ceiling terrain capabilities to the engine so Deepholme could have a roof, but ultimately never used that capability. This would imply that you can have both somehow.

Of course you would know already :D

schlumpf:
Of course we could, even in 1.0.
As it is a WDT flag, this does not really seem possible. Most likely why they scratched it.
Documented.

Garrosh a bad ass?
Remember that he grew up beneath the banner of the old horde unlike Thrall or orcs like Thrall.
Neither has he drank the blood nor seen the wars on Azeroth.
He has only heard tales of his father, and he himself stood behind when his father went to war because he was sick.
A redeem story?
I won't like to see one, but if blizz does it, they have to do it right :)
