Title: [Question] Backporting new Legion 3D items to 3.3.5 and replacing old items.
Post by: Method on February 27, 2018, 11:31:09 pm
So, recently Blizzard released a lot of really beautiful 3D items from the new raids, these items have small 3D features added to them, but are essentially higher resolution BC armors:

Hunter: [ Invalid YouTube link ]
Shaman: [ Invalid YouTube link ]
Priest: [ Invalid YouTube link ]
Warrior: [ Invalid YouTube link ]

Because of their exact likeness to older armors, I'd like to begin the process of backporting the Legion armors from live to 3.3.5, then replace the old armors with these new ones.

So instead of getting the old low-res armors dropping from BC content, we can get these new armors dropping from BC content.

Does anyone have any idea how someone would begin this process? thanks.

Your links are not working, but i'm assuming you're talking about the RAIDS T20 retaking the RAIDS T6's design and enhancing it with the accessories system.

Long story short; Yes it is possible, it's not THAT hard, you just need some blender and 010editor's basic knowledge and some little bit advanced knowledge of the spells' DBC, but the accessories system is really obnoxious to downport since there's only one way to make it works and it's with the spell object thing.

For the rest it's just some converting for the spaulders and helmet and renaming of the files to fit the old ones from TBC if your point is to replace the old by the new ones.

If you know how to port the belt buckle, it's basically the same thing, but with more than a buckle and various attachments points.


This should help you to understand a little bit more if you're not familiar with the belt buckle thing.

And this spell should give you an exemple of how the spell objects works.
