WoD Models [4.3.4]

[KonataBG]

So a quick update even though I was able to put a model and all and give it textures as I mentioned earlier cataclysm stubbornly refuses to accept the model with a custom name that you apply on a dpc file just like in the tutorial the only way it accepted that model is by changing its name to the default model name. Doing so made my character load with that model but also every other npc.mobs and stuff like that that use the same model too. Now this doesn't sound so bad if these NPC didn't actually have their own textures which unfortunately dont go well with the new model.

As you can see the npc tries to load his own textures (except for the hair it actually loads the right one) which are not suited for this model so we get some totally crappy looking thingie. This does not mean that we cannot continue to convert models and textures but they wont really be useable until we find a solution to this problem. Like maybe making the game load the model only for players and let the npcs load its old model. Until then we are kinda stuck on this one. If I find a solution to this problem will let you know.

Ok so I was writing with a cool guy that found a tutorial that saved the npc model problem and also he told me of an a lot better place to put the custom MPQ that made mpq clashing a lot simpler now and everything should be a bit easier on this part at least. Also that dude helped with markings so we are making progress on that too. Unfortunately for these models to run on older WoW version broken geosets have to be deleted and very often these broken geosets are hairstyles that dude said that 2-3 barber shop hairstyles for night elf are missing too and since i Dont use barbershop hairstyles I havent noticed before. I heard there is a way to retrieve these hairstyles but the dudes with the knowledge aint really in the mood for making tutorials for that so I dont know when we would be able to restore the hairstyles. When I think its ready I am going to upload the custom mpq and share it with you guys to test the night elf model.

So here is a WoD Female Night Elf that I feel like i can more or less share with the rest of the world.
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/b0d5cfc6
To "install" it put the mpq file in Data\Cache. If your game doesn't load the chache file and keeps on deleting it try starting the game with the exe file in the archive.

So what does this model have.
-All face textures.
-All skin textures
-Hair textures
-All animations (at least i think its all of them havent seen any missing ones)
Whats missing and is wrong with it.
-3 hairstyle geosets from barbershop are missing
-Crappy markings(I hope in the future they will make a guide for them to convert them properly)
-Noticed a broken geoset cape where a part of it is transparent and another is not (this problem is on very long capes)
-Some strange line poking out of lips its small but its noticable
And overall thats it I think. Still it does manage to give the nice wod model feel. If anyone is interested in getting involves in some way to convert the models I wll try to help in every way I can. Though to fix the main problems in all models we need someone who is very good with models and stuff to retrieve missing geosets like missing hairstyles and stuff like that. And almost every race/gender has missing hairstyles.

Some progress on Human Male:



Fixed the Hair textures now I am working on scalp textures

[Gudbror]

With some creativity you can actually make a "Joker" lookalike with that hair texture.

[KonataBG]

And here comes the human male ready for testing. So overall Human male looks good only things that are missing on him are the scalp textures (without which some hairstyles look a bit like wigs) and facial textures (even though u can choose beards and moustaches some facials are supposed to be connected with texture that I have not put in the game cause scalp and facials textures are a *** annoying pain in whats left of my ***)
Other than that all skin textures all face textures oh and also the human npcs even though I managed to make them load their default model for some *** reason they are trying to use the wod hair textures for their hairs and its not that bad but some hairstyles look a bit glitchy on NPCs that is no prob on character. And here is the download link it also includes the Female Night Elf:
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/0eb740a5
Also there is a possibility of missing hairstyles I just havent checked
I will explain again how to "install" it. Put it in data\cache. Then start game if the game persistently deletes the file or doesnt want to load it try the custom exe thats in the rar.
Also appearently it *** up the worgen human form. makes it load the new model but not the new textures

[KonataBG]

I present to you Female Gnomes:





Hopefully by the end of the day I will have it ready for testing

[Gudbror]

That's amazing man, good job.

(Btw, you can edit the main post to put all of this information there)

[KonataBG]

Here some Male Gnomes for yo all brothers out there:






No scalp and facial textures like always. Btw since I see that you guys arent very interested in test versions to try out I decided to stop uploading and sharing unless you really want to then I could probably upload an mpq with my progress till now to try out.
For those of you that wonder why there arent any horde races yet. I play alliance so thats why I am starting out with them.

[KonataBG]

I have bad new for you all Male Night Elf lovers.
For the Male Night Elf model to run we had to say goodbye to a lot of geosets some of them more important than the usual missing ones. Which includes a cape geoset and even the eyeglow itself. Whats a night elf without eye glow? The Death Knight eyeglow geoset is still there but for those non deathknights just aint right man.

Unfortunately these problems can only be fixed by people who are very good with model editing and shitz like that and I aint one of those people so for those who want to see their favorite races at 100% in cataclysm and have those skillz your help is required

[KonataBG]

To all you human lovers that are 25% of the server population. Enjoy:

So darn many mother effin geosets missing but nevertheless here is a dwarf:

[Gudbror]

Damn, can't wait till you make the orc models.

[KonataBG]

Here is the female without facial and scalp textures:

Bad news everyone Draenei Male will have to wait for awhile and here is the reason why:

His lip is deformed like a tentacle monster raping japanese girls and horns use seperate texture files which there is no way to be read by the game cause the old model did not use seperate texture files for horns. There is probably a way to fix this with .dbc files but I have no idea how. Also Tail and tentacles load the textures from face textures instead of skin textures as u can see
