Hello, I am new to the modding scene for World of Warcraft, I've been going through the forums and noticed that there were a lot of model swaps for different expacs such as "WoD Character models for 1.12" I've been looking all over and had no luck.
I wanted to know if anyone was working on, or if it is possible to import the 1.12 models+animation into the current build of Legion, or simply do a animation swap with the current rig for example, the skeletons (they currently use the classic animations) and port them into the classic models legion currently uses. I tried doing this but all the software and guides I could find were either very outdated or the links would no longer work for them.
Like I said I'm new to this, I don't even know if this is safe to do things like this on the live servers/current expac, maybe that's why I haven't seen anything really done for Legion, plus its constantly being updated, I'm not sure, but any help would be great!
Thank you.

I think you missunderstand him^^, he want the old animations in legion!

You are right! sorry about that! So... can this be done?

im not sure,maybe with missing animations.
If u load old armature to the new model and find out wich bone is the same ..rename them correct maybe.
But how to port 1.12 to legion im not sure how.
Or just up port whole old model if it is possible. But there are missing capes,hairs and some other cloth on some npcs i think you could add them but u need to look again on the right bones. Much work^^

I guess you'd need to grab the old models from like Wod and convert them to legion, if there is a tool for this idk. Then you d have missing animations or crash (they added new animations in legion which is the reason why old models now use the wod model animations).

Hi there just bumping this.
Did you however find a solution? I already tried to revamp all of 1.12 model in my chase undead only. Wow crashed everytime if i however need a special wow client for this hook me up and I will do it and upload my work
I also tried with more recent wow builds, such as mop and wod. Didnt work either. Blizzard somehow removed the rigs completeley.
Then I tried noggenfogger skeleton and Drug elf from belf start zone it kinde worked only that the .m2 file ruined the resault. If I were to put noggenfogger .m2 my character would turn into the skeleton w shoulderpads and untextured 😓 same w drug elf. If I however took undead .m2 from mop or wod the game would crash or show no character.
If I took .m2 from live legion there would be no change at all.
Hope some people can hel9 with this
