[Classic] [BETA]Improved Models for 1.12

[Uthil]

So here we are, after a long term of wait you can actually see and feel azeroth from the WoD point of view. I want to say and have in mind that this is vanilla and not cataclysm or WoD. You going to see a huge number of creatures working at it 100% and some very few too 95%. My idea of retro port those models was to play vanilla that i like much but i wanted some extra flavor on it since i was bored of watching again same models since then. Here is where my mod takes place and transform your game into something different. I want to say a big thanks in advance to Nanoxo first for hes early help provide me with the texture but also Mumblz that hes helping me from now on to finish the mod, Koward for his initial start and help and some people from the Modeling Community here. So enough talking lets get down to the point.

What is changed so far:

    Game Music (City/Zones music from Cataclysm and upwards)
    Creature Models (as i said the 80% is changed)
    Spell effects and animations (including Enchants)
    Spell sounds (not all spells, tho some specific got used)
    Minor world changes (like lampposts, crates etc)
    Ambient Sound (and specially the rain sound which is replaced with a more realistic one)
    Some icons in the Character Creation UI
    Some weapons (Under WiP state, only Grand Marshal and Overlords Stave at the moment)
   
Under work progress:

    Character Models
    A small creature model variation to replace
    Some weapon variations


How to install:

    Download first all 8 parts, its in a compressed rar file,
    Put it where ever you like and extract it so it will give you the patch file,
    Move the file under Data Warcraft folder, I.e : [C:WoW game folderData ],
    Delete your WDB cache folder


WARNING : In case you have Kowards patch, you dont need it anymore since i have already include it with mine. Don't rename the patch file unless you know how to do things around.

Now also i want to add that this topic to refer on things you have found. If a model is missing some textures or a bug on the model it self. Don't post things out of this topic, since im going to use it to track down what ever left behind me and didn't notice. Im aware of some things that need to be updated so im gonna do on the process.

Thats all, enjoy Azeroth to its new look and feel!

Uthil out!

Im unable to extract anything past part 1 from 7zip, getting errors like the file is broken etc. Also, all the patches are under the same name, do we replace the previous patch that we place in the data folder?

You need to download all the zips, then open the first zip file and extract the patch from there.

Only issue i seen so far is human females hair textures are messed up with black inside of it.

I have unfortunately forgot to remove the character models, which is in alpha state, so humans and trolls are messed up. Since im going to update this main file once more and then releases 1 or 2 patches characters will not be on since it confuses people a bit.

Honestly its an awesome thing you have done with this mod keep us posted on the updates

[Uthil]

Thanks for people like the mod, tho the point here is people who test it to post screenshots from models that i might have missed during the process. Thats involves missing/messed up textures, weird model behavior etc etc. So i can pile all those things and fix them.

Keep us posted on this mod and when we will get and update patch its awesome!

Do You plan to work on 2.4.3 version?

Not now for sure, might be a future plan since i loved TBC, was the expansion that i start get addicted  :lol:  :twisted:  :ugeek:

Another bug I found involves the Riding Wolves in the crossroads in the Barrens. It seems their textures are trying to display the original textures rather than the new textures.

Hey I just created this account to say this:
Awesome job man, I've dreamed with something like this. But sadly since Nostalrius died Im no longer playing on vanillas servers.
Dude if you make this for WOTLK 3.3.5 man... I'll raise a statue of you in my hometown, you will make a dream of mine come true. In my opinion wotlk is the best expansion (yeah call me casual (still is harder then wod)), If you make this for WOTLK you will make my and my friends lvling experience much more fun! And I'll personally share your Porting.

BUG REPORT :I have a bat as a hunters pet, current replacement looks damn cool, but when I have it summoned my pet makes alchemy brewing sound all the time.

Night Elf fly mount "wing flap sound" seems to be badly sinced

All Swift Saber textures are badly messed up. *picture attacked*

P.S. Thanks for making this
