Title: [Request] Tier 6 to 20 for 3.3.5
Post by: Bastion on June 17, 2017, 03:01:40 pm
Greetings,
I tried to do something but i'm realy bad on modding so I ask you.
As many of you know, the new tier20 in Legion has a look similar to the old tier6 from TBC, but rewarked.
You think it's possible to make a patch that change the standard t6's of all class to the new Legion tier in 3.3.5?
Most private servers have the trasmong feature so people can use the standard t6 as a base for a brand new Hd set and it may be of interest to many.
Thanks.

It is possible.

1. Get models and textures of new version.
2. Retro-port models to WotLK
3. Give textures and models the same names as original ones have, so they are overwritten.
- OR go to ItemDisplayInfo.dbc and change all displayIDs of T6 items so they use new textures and models, but that means that you can pretty much also just create new items, and I suppose thats not something you wanted to do anyway.

Done. If you have no idea how to do this, check retro-porting part of board and learn to create a new item with new custom item in world.item_template and Item.dbc displayID in ItemDisplayInfo.dbc. By managing to do so, you will get all required knowledge and experience.
