Possible to get Northrend into a Model Edit and play on a private server with v2.4.2?

[faxmunky]

I was just wondering if it is at all plausable to use Wrath of the Lich King Alpha and turn Northrend into a patch-x.MPQ...

Because all of the repacks I have found for Wrath of the Lich King don't really do anything at all... Except for running/flying around the place even without the sandbox.

I knew that people had done model edits to get the Isle of Quel' Danas into an earlier patch and it worked fine.

So I believe that it is also possible to get Northrend from the Alpha Client into 2.4.2...

1. Is this possible?
2. Can someone please do it for me? I will +rep 2x.

[SectorSeven]

1. Yes
2. I actually laughed out loud. It would take months to ME the whole contenent and rep isn't going to drive them to it lolz...

Dont think so, the Alpha client operates as though its an entirely different game.


Cant take one games files and put it on your game's files and play your game with that game. [Tad confusing, I know.]

But then again there still may be a small possibility because the game files align somewhat due to the engine and creator match up.

So if it were to line up, 2 rep I dont think would quite reward the job in the end :P and im sure someone would post that in their own thread to get a large rep amount.

[Ew wall of text]


Edit: Nvm i guess according to sector, it would work

I mean I'm not totallly sure, this applies to ME more than Emu, and I don't have the tags ME Expert... yet

No.
Myself and my team have been decompiling and mussing around with the WOTLK Core, and there is too much 'Difference' you might call it.. it might be possible if you spent years remaking the entire thing, but then, you might as well spend that time working on an entire new continent rather than mimicing one that is already done. Because, you would need to REDO EVERYTHING YOURSELF. You can't just 'Copy and Paste' Northrend.

It is possible to get a wotlk ME to show up on a emu server.

[Synris]

people have allrddy done edits to stuff like arthas and frostmourne.


so yesss

[TheSpidey]

Possible? Yes.
Worthwhile? Not at all.

Don't waste time on this, just open a LK alpha server until beta comes

someone did something like this with old outlands they added the .adt's into a patch and made a path to it wouldn't it be possible to do the same (though you would also have to add all the .wmo's and .m2 objects also textures into the patch too)
granted northrend is a hell of alot bigger then old outlands but would it really be that hard? just basically extract almost everything from the expantion's common-2.mpq and lichking.mpq put it all in a patch and create a path to it
shouldn't take more then a few weeks if your committed and have 1 or 2 to help you and know how to do all that (i don't)
though im probably just talking out of my A$$

[Power of Illuminati]

The problem here is... you are using a different client to play WotLK, therefor it could be some problems with it

[thpthpthp]

ah but then how can people take models like arthas an other things from wotlk and put them in current wow the file type hasent changed has it? or is it a problem with just wotlk .adts have thay changed?
