[World Building] Project Alpha

Project Alpha Updated 18/12 14:21 Paris time

Project what?: After being on this site for a long time, I decided that I wanted to do Model Editing, so I looked up some guides, especially Demonkunga's ones are really great, even though he released all the advanced stuff and people flamed him, he still made guides and told me how to do alot.

I've seen videos of WoW Alpha, and I think alot of it is WAAAY better than what there is in currect wow. So I browsed up a guide by reflex0rzor about how to make a WoW Alpha server which can be found: HERE, and by browsing in the WoW Alpha Data, I found it quite the same files as currect wow, though it's in like 10 diffrent archieves.

So here is my idea: Finaly, I decided to model edit all the Alpha WoW files into a patch for currect WoW. In that way people can experiance WoW as it was in Alpha, freely, and not on an old emulator with barely any GM commands and is really buggy.

Sounds great, when will we be able to see that?: After I'm done on this post, I'm gonna start from scratch. So if you keep looking in this thread, you'll see updates maybe soon downloads.

Cool! Could you go into more detail about the downloads?: As most poeple know about Model Changing, you got 35 "patches" avaible. So I'm gonna split it into five patches (just in case any it should be corrupted, so I don't have to start all over):
Patch-A: A for Alpha, anything that doesnt belong in other patches are going in this one.
Patch-I: I for Interface, the WoW Alpha has an awesome loginscreen and character creation.
Patch-M: M for Models, every Model and WMO file are going in here.
Patch-T: T for Texture and Terrain. Every Terrain and Texture file go in here.
Patch-W: W for WDT, every ADT, WDT, WDL and WLW files (etc etc) are going in here.
So if you only want something specific you can choose what part you want to.

Progress:
Characters: 0%
Creatures: 0%
Cameras: 0%
Dungeons: 0%
Enviroments: 0%
Interface: 0% (Maybe raz on this one, not sure yet)
Items: 0% (Xcynic and furynator on this part)
Particles: 100%
Shaders: 0%
Sounds: 0%
Spells: 0%
Spells(Texture): 100%
Textures: 100%
Tileset: 100%
WTF: 0%
World: 0% Obviously they wasnt solved anyway, cause the "code" is wrong. I can convert them, but the code still stays wrong.
World(Texture): 100%
World\Maps: 0% 27/12 update: Okay, we're close to a solution here, but not close enough YET
Xtextures: 100%

Haha, the underlined bold text in Shawoman's quote speaks the truth.

Glad to see I helped you out with Pirvate Servers :P

And I personally think you should take your time, no need to rush, take it slow, make sure it's working properly, etc.

Thread updated. Xtextures done.

Damn i need to fix my avatar -.-

[Razmataz]

Trust me guys, this guy can do it all.

[fulgore]

Can't the current client not load the old Model information? The changed the formatting so you've got...extra bits!

I never seen/heard of an old model successfully making it into current client. I could be way out of the loop though.

Be interested to see how this turns out!

Good Luck with it, looking forward to see the end result.
