CHALLENGE: Getting into Karazhan

[Aelolandas]

@ the dark portal guy:

you cannot stack dark portals ontop of eachother, i have tried it =P

yes u can ^.^ just matters were u stack it, sometimes they fall through

lol u don't need to model change to get into cot..

[Fault]

lol u don't need to model change to get into cot..

Thats not the point. Its u apply that idea to getting into karazhan

[gotosleep]

lol guys.. i did this and posted a .mpq to changing goldshire to kharazan like 4 months ago.. this isnt really an accomplishment. Also there is no way to get into the "real" kharazan, i model changed the gates and behind one there is a world object that you cant model change and behind the other an invisible gate that(maybe) u can blink through, not sure though.

[Fault]

Well what i was hoping was to learn how to do this, not DL the .mpq. But u did confirm one of my major questions about that door. I might just DL that .mpq and examine it to see what u did so i can learn

[Aelolandas]

there's only 1 way I know to get into the REAL karazhan without model changing but i'll leave that to u to figure out ^.^

[Krazzee]

inside the real kharazhan is nothin special

[Gapo]

tryed the thing with the model change and it really rox great feeling when ure above everything
btw is karazhan gonna be an instance?

[xlAnonym0uslx]

yes, Karazhan is going to be an instance, i got this in an e-mail from Gamespy, i think it has some info on Karazhan, and go to youtube search for Karazhan or somtin and it will show a meeting were a guy from Blizz is telling people about Karazhan

heres link: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/world-of-wa.../725327p1.html

P.S. wat does btw mean?

[Krazzee]

it means by the way

[Datonking]

what do you open MPQs with?

[Fault]

i thought this post was long dead. Anyway, daton, u probably have never MC i guess, because u open MPQs with Mywarcraftstudio, which is the base of MC

[Marlo]

what do you open MPQs with?

i lol in your face

Check around MC forum. lots of links to Mywarcraft studio's

[Gothian]

I hate him with such a burning passion.

Anyway,
I was wondering if you could do this, though with Karazhan, this was done with CoT, which i saw on Edge of Nowwhere a bit ago. Here is the link, and the important text http://www.edgeofnowhere.cc/viewtopic.php?t=306637

1. Open MyWarcraftStudio and search through the model.mpq (File>Open Mpq Archive>Model.mpq). (ALL MPQ FILES ARE LOCATED IN THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT DATA DIRECTORY!!)

2. Find the Caverns Of Time door file. (Which is located in World\Dungeon\CavernsOfTime\ActiveDoodads\CavernsOfTime\CavernDoornDoor.m2) Now note the name and the location.

3. Go find a random file that you'd like to replace the door with. For example lets use a fish. (Which is located in Creature\Fish\Fish.m2) Now right click the file and export it to main WoW folder. Then move the fish file to your
WoW data directory. (\WorldOfWarcraft\Data\)

4. Now add the folders you saw in the the model.mpq for CavernsOfTimensOfTime to your WoW data directory. (Which would be.. WorldOfWarcraft\Data\World\Dungeon\CavernsOfTime\ActiveDoodads\CavernsOfTime) then move the fish file there and rename it to CavernDoor.m2

5. Thats replacing models! That was the hard part. It basically changed the door to Caverns of Time into a fish!
** Note ** Replacing the model only will NOT give you access to Caverns Of Time, there is an invisible wall that is a part of the CoT map. That's what we'll be removing next !

NEXT PART:

This part is pretty easy, you're doing the same thing you did above, except in the WMO.MPQ and with .WMO files.

1.Using MyWarcraftStudio's open the wmo.mpq (File>Open Mpq Archive>Wmo.mpq)and go to World\Wmo\Outland\DarkPortal\Darkportal.wmo and extract it to the main WoW folder.

2. Next, in MyWarcraftStudio's go to World\Wmo\Dungeon\CavernsOfTime\CavernsOfTime_000.wmo and note the name of the file and the location.

3. After that, go to your World Of Warcraft data directory and create the folders that you noted in step two. (World\Wmo\Dungeon\CavernsOfTime\) then move the DarkPortal.wmo file you extracted into your main World Of Warcraft folder to World\Wmo\Dungeon\CavernsOfTime\.

4. Rename the DarkPortal.wmo to CavernsOfTime_000.wmo

5. Run WoW and go to Caverns Of Time, you'll notice that instead of a big door blocking your way you'll have a untextured dark portal leading you straight up into CoT. If you get an error when you reach the Caverns Of Time, you've done something wrong and need to check over your work again.

Im sure this will work, but I think with one of the latest patches it made it so that you cannot just replace the models by placing them into folders.

As far as Karazhan goes (at least Upside Down Sinners), Ive found the door model names, and now have to figure out a way to replace them.

Ill post some screens if I ever become sucessfull.

hmm call me a noob but has anyong considered using Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian? (http://www.thottbot.com/?i=53959) the quest to get it sounds easyer that to do all thgoose hacks and get banned. or is this some private server thing?

[Nueronious]

It was made on a privite server
