It's possible to merge Finsternis Legion mod with warmane characters+npc. Piccolodmq did it for old version of Finsternis Mod.
Found in comments:
"I am trying to do this myself... and alredy got it to work.   its, simply gettin MYDBCeditor, and fuse both DBC´s (model data and creaturedisplayinfo) from both the Warmane´s Dbc files and this one.   I am trying to go an extr notch and trying to fuse those 2 with Kronixusa dbc´s(the one with cata and mop display´s on oiit) But I am having troubles with CSV to DBC.  It says files its too large (even if it is only 2 megabytes.  somwhere between DBC ---> DBCUTIl, opening this with excel and going back to CVS ----> DBC i am making a mistake and can´t make it happen.   Anyone here have a updated, guide for editing DBC´s with excel ?"


"The first you could seperate the dbc´s but just the last one will count.
And to fusion them u need  to open the dbcs and compare whats the different and write it into one."

I fuse them for you.   Try them.   Here are the DBC´s .   The problem I am having troubles, trying to put them together into a patch (For some reason) it comes out as a smaller file.   Maybe its the verison I am using?(latest MPQ Editor v 3.5.1.817).  So do me a favor. Put them into a patch and resend it to me?   

Here are Warmanes and Finsternis Patch.   ( the wayt it works for me is I delete all DBC files from Finsternis files and put all the DBC files in patch-enUS-w.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8xvH ... 3lZWENWQ0U

This is Patch-EnUs.W   in WOW/Data/Enus

and use warmanes  Finsternis in WOW/DATA (dont forget to delete DBC files inside of them).
Hey !  :)

It's easy. First, download this :

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8xvHOnjNZYbSlFoS3lZWENWQ0U (Thx to Piccolo)

Then put this file in your DATAenUS-frFR-enGB...etc....Folder, in the game install directory. Second, download the Legion creature to WotlK patch here ; Then put it in your DATA forlder. Third, download the patch-w.mpq from Warmane formu (easy to find on their forum). And put it in the DATA folder.

When you have all 4 files, download this : (MPQ editor)

http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html

In the process, never touch the mpq patch posted by Piccolo (the Patch-xx-w.mpq), but open (one after the other) :

patch-w.mpq
patch-F.mpq
patch-G.mpq

And delete the DBC folder. After that, just close the mpq editor, no need to save, it's automatic !!! And YEAAAH ! Enjoy !!! If the big pigs annoying you, you can edit them with a SQL DB client. There's good tuto's on Trinity Core website (DB reference).

We will be so grateful if someone try to merge newest version of Finsternis mod with warmane models :)

If someone want it here is a patch.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IYsPavk7pYSyIP4okt0PROaTk2ZLAFfg (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IYsPavk7pYSyIP4okt0PROaTk2ZLAFfg)

Its a patch-K so you will replace the Finsternis patch-K.
How to use.
Remove patch-X ,patch-enUS-W and patch-enUS-X from the data and data\enUS folders.
Rename Finsternis patch-A as patch-B
Rename Warmane patch-W as patch-A

EXTRA
If u find the npc scourge models ugly (they don't have features, warmane patch bug i think) just open the patch-K with MPQ editor, and edit the CreatureModelData.dbc with MyDbcEditor.  Find the line ID 6017 (female) and 6016 (male) and replace the model CHARACTER\SCOURGE\FEMALE\SCOURGEFEMALE_NPC.mdx by CHARACTER\SCOURGE\FEMALE\NPC\SCOURGEFEMALENPC.mdx
same for male scourge, it will change it back to Finsternis model

Obs. Ty Finsternis for pointing me the way

Does someone have a working link to the NPCs from warmane?

Also I would love the edited file with fixed undeads.

Edit: I found a direct link to the Warmane models https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B4dwW8TOxn5dckRENjlTa3Uxc2c

I have a patch containing all goblins updated to hd (model and normal textures and pre backed textures.) does anyone want to merge them with this dbc? (they worked with the standalone finsternis patches but not with the warmane models.)

These are from a sever that tried backporting cata and all its content to wotlk and then went under.

If someone is interested in integrating these (or telling me a easy way how to) I would upload them all.

Ok, I just deleted all the files in the MPQ files that dont have anything to do with Goblins and will upload it now.

Its quite big, when editing make sure to only add entries to the old dbc containing goblin male, female and old changes not the other cata npcs. (The patch contains all cata prebakes because there are too many I didnt take the time to delete the non goblin ones but it works fine.)

Done  :)
There's a patch-C and a Patch-K.
Just do it in the same order, Warmane NPC Patch (patch-W) as Patch-A.
Characters Patch (patch-A) as patch-B and this one as Patch-C.
Replace my first patch-K with this one.
*Obs: Don't use the new patch-K without the Patch-C

Post by: Marulu on January 26, 2018, 01:38:42 pm
Awesome thanks for the quick work.

If you dont mind would you upload the version with the finsternis undead?

Will you keep this patch up to date when Finsternis starts backporting Battle for Azeroth models?

well acuatally i don't know, if i'm around yes.
To change the undead is simple. As i said:
open the patch-K with MPQ editor,extract the CreatureModelData.dbc and edit with MyDbcEditor.  Find the line ID 6017 (female) and 6016 (male) and replace the line CHARACTER\SCOURGE\FEMALE\SCOURGEFEMALE_NPC.mdx with CHARACTER\SCOURGE\FEMALE\NPC\SCOURGEFEMALENPC.mdx and CHARACTER\SCOURGE\MALE\SCOURGEMALE_NPC.mdx with CHARACTER\SCOURGE\MALE\NPC\SCOURGEMALENPC.mdx
Then with insert the updated CreatureModelData.dbc back to the patch-k again.

I did as you said but this completely broke the texture on these models it seems like the hd textures are being applied to the sd models.

Post by: Finsternis on January 27, 2018, 01:13:39 am
Yup this would be happen. You cant mix the npc model(hd/nonhd) without editing the npc textures or dbc edits on creaturedisplayinfoextra.

Post by: Bocoio on January 27, 2018, 01:08:05 pm
Forgot that part =D
and find all the lines with the Scourge NPC is quite a work
You will need to remove the _HD from every line with race 5 (first editable column)

Finsternis updated his patch G and patch K. What I need to change in Bocoios patch K to see all the changes?

I went through and edited all the undead entries.

In the attachment you can find a patch with edited dbc files for the SD undead.

No there is no all in one solution.

Here is what you have to do:

1. Download the Warmane and Finsternis Patches

2. Remove patch-X ,patch-enUS-W and patch-enUS-X from the data and data\enUS folders.

3. Renaming files:

    Rename Finsternis player character patch-A to patch-B
   
    Rename Warmane patch-W to patch-A
   
    Rename the Finsternis creature patch-F to patch-C
   
    Rename the Finsternis creature patch-G to patch-D

4. Download https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1e6-ErgFQlZplJpryyAGSEQPbqebI-SGr

    Rename Patch-C to Patch-E

5. Download Patch-O http://www.modcraft.io/index.php?topic=13861.msg64829#msg64829 (you need to be signed in)

6. Place all the patches in /data

I have found this patch with player models and prebakes converted to lich king. http://www.ac-web.org/forums/showthread.php?209957-Release-All-WoD-Models-on-3-3-5a&s=39850982087b52f8c35ca3b9d9a66751

The only problem is this does not include any dbc files, but it has the textures and models for the races missing in our patch. There should be a way for us to integrate it.

Today I fused Finternis Legión Npc models, along with Warnes old WOD Character models, and Npc models for races from another source. I am si added Worgen, Pandaren and Goblin characters and around 40 npcs those 3 races.   Aldo got this with most ítem yo to WOD and all importante ítems from legión inclusión artifacts.   Got Kronixusa maps, models etc.  I will make available  for the public if someone wants it. Along with retro ported quests and drops from Cataclysm for 3.3.5a... (mostly Hyjal zone and some instances).   Planning on remaking retail wow for 3.3.5a, Just for the giggles.

Ok here is the Goblin patch: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HQ0GatnOD8xWeTbp6gUQ9eAT4goJsnRS
Patch-6.MPQ contains all the DBC files.

Do you mind uploading it again? I prefer Finsternis' NPC models but the original goblins' models just always looked too low poly to me. :/

I only uploaded it to be merged in, check my guide above on what to download where and you will have almost everything in hd including goblins.

We are waiting for someone to either port or give us a preexisting patch with already ported Draenai, Bloodelf and Undead NPCs, so we can add them to our compilation patch.

Hi there. I am not sure yet, but I think I have found a problem with the patch-K. There is a constant crash when I try to go inside Warsong Hold (located in Borean Tundra). But if I remove patches K and O, everything is OK except some broken NPC skin textures.
Could someone help me with fixing this? I tried to find a clue in the crash dumps, but it got me nowhere.

P.S. One more thing. Should I replace the Finsternis' patch-K with the updated patch-K (as I did), or should I rename it also?
