Miscellaneous / [RELEASE] Final Classic Alpha Pack
« on: July 15, 2016, 07:31:39 am »
I've collected a bunch of stuff for alpha over the years and I've found a fast way to teleport around in alpha. Today I'm sharing what I have kept stored for years. At the bottom you can find instructions how to use the client properly.

Alpha client release by ANiMANiACS back in 2003:
https://mega.nz/#!VdIQFRgZ!xlhdxt6RQjbFXDFmXNjvfpsiiGD7M1wa-LHTIaQE24E
Seems to be rare around the net nowadays, so I uploaded it for whoever wants the original release.

GM client worldports and various GM macros from blizzard:
https://mega.nz/#!MYBi3D4R!yYxSMjR4cU7I0Oy3YUK7aFivWtBjm-8lhWw1dv-bKIU
Includes 1500 worldports, keep in mind that this was backported from a higher patch and may include some worldports from other patch. All of the worldports included are 100% from Blizzard and none have been made by hand.
To install, just open the folder and drag all of the content within AlphaWP into your WTF folder. If you want GM macros not related to worldports as well, then drag AlphaGM to your WTF folder as well.

All old alpha emulators:
https://mega.nz/#!RYpQFRhB!uwunx-FDPON0xxSBw8Wrm2nI9nQSNuFFAph6XdVNbbE
I don't suggest using any of the emulators above and instead use the latest emulator by barncastle. The ones included in the EMU download should only be treated as history by now. If you wanna compile it yourself it can be found here: https://github.com/barncastle/Alpha-WoW

Barncastle Alpha WoW emulator repack:
I've made some changes to the database, removed all blue boxes from the world by only allowing existing displayids. Dwarf mages are now playable and I've fixed an issue with NPCs going half invisible. It's a repack, so it's very fast and easy to setup.
Download can be found here:
https://mega.nz/#!BZJXxQbJ!Gp6VA1vDKnddtSfUUBK9VUqmYOH-MHP5Tyby-USzW6w

Alphaconnect.rar, includes wow.ses and realmlist. If you have those files already you won't need to download it:
https://mega.nz/#!BZogAB4Y!l4wZkCLmC8-2JfdT427NIl5FVS4g3u8AOpOGZaPivaQ

Many people claim that the performance in the alpha client is unstable, something which is not true. The problem people are facing is that they are using a very old directx version on a modern OS. It is highly recommended that you change from directx to opengl when playing alpha since older opengl runs better with modern OS. With opengl I run alpha with stable 60+ fps.

In order to change to opengl from directx, go into your WTF folder and open config.wtf and edit the line that says:
Code: [Select]
SET gxApi "direct3d"and change it to
Code: [Select]
SET gxApi "opengl"If you can't find gxApi anywhere in your config, then just add the line yourself.

In order to launch the game you need to create a shortcut for WoWClient.exe and add the following after the shortcut:
Code: [Select]
-uptodate If you plan using the worldport and GM macros above, you must add the following to your shortcut:
Code: [Select]
-consoleIf you want window mode, add this to your shortcut:
Code: [Select]
-windowed
If you plan using the Barncastle repack the setup guide is as following:
1. Extract it anywhere
2. Run Start MySQL.bat
3. Run Worldserver.exe

Finally if you want to launch the game and connect to the game server, drag the contents of AlphaConnect.rar into your alpha folder. Run the game with your shotcut and hit OK when a window appears. When you see the login screen, hit change realm button and select a realm.

Keep in mind if you plan on modifiying your speed, the max speed is 60 however it will cause graphic glitches, so for optimal speed use 59 instead. Another thing to note is that if you use Barncastle emulator, your character will start naked until you press either z or x.

Optional: Once you have created your character and entered the game world, hit the console key and type in any WoW zone. Press enter and you will instantly be teleported to the zone.


Happy digging!

"Retro-Porting" / [RELEASE] TBC backports
« on: May 20, 2015, 03:25:15 pm »
Since it's so easy to port stuff over to TBC I was able to port over some vanilla and unreleased stuff.

I have seen how people have requested old evocation on other forums, so I decided to port it.
In TBC blizzard changed the model of the mage spell "evocation". This patch returns it to its vanilla model.

The big undead shoulder patch from my other topic is something I think many people want to use, so I ported to TBC as well.

The tool I used to backport everything above is called M2toTBC.
I can do requests if someone wants any spell ported over.

[Removed beta Draenei emote patch]
This patch brings back Draenei female flirt emote "You have heard of the Exodar? I will show you the Sexodar!" and the silly emote "Do Gnomes come with a vibrate setting".
When making this patch I realized that Blizz made a DBC fail when removing the beta flirt sound, resulting in removing 3 other flirt sounds as well, only for them to fix it in wotlk. This patch fixes that issue as well.

[Removed troll joke patch]
This patch enables the removed troll silly emote "I kill two dwarves" . Not sure what patch they removed this on but all I had to do to enable it was just add the sound file back. Originally made this patch for vanilla, but works just fine for TBC  as well.
To hear it, just spam /silly until you hear the emote.

All of the following patches have been tested by me and should most likely have no bugs.
Do note that WoWME is required to run all of the patches.

"Retro-Porting" / [RELEASE] Old vanilla stuff to 1.12.1‏
« on: April 10, 2015, 11:27:41 am »
Over the past month I've been porting some stuff from earlier patches to 1.12.1 while I was bored. What you can find here might be interesting to some people.

[Big undead shoulder patch]
When WoW was released undead males used used to have bigger shoulder size. They removed this somewhere around patch 1.5. I've taken the undead male character file from earlier patch and made a mpq so everyone can enjoy it.

The change is very noticeable as you can see on the following pics:

[Old Succubus model]
Before patch 1.4 succubus used to have another model. I've taken the model from a old patch and made a custom patch for it.

[Old ogre model patch]
Before patch 1.3 ogres used to have a different model than they do today. This patch adds back the old model to all ogres in Azeroth, even those ogres added after patch 1.3. For the ogres that were added past patch 1.3 I've used the equivalent model and texture.

Everything is tested and is likely to have no bugs, however if you do find one post it in this topic.
That's all for now. I might update this topic sometime later with some more old things.
