[WIP][Showoff] Female Night Elves V2.

[korric]

(Screw the blue underwear! the NE stuff actually looks alright on the Blood Elf models)
Good day to you friends.
You may remember ScDK's Female BloodElf Injection thread, that increased the size of the Blood Elves' breasts... well this is not a breast enhancement.
This is simply just a normal NeF -> BeF in which the Blood Elves keep the skin of the Night Elves, basically a second version of the female Night Elves (Personally I think it's an improvement on the current NeF nodels, wouldn't you agree?)

Here's a video of the edit working on patch 3.3 live server, no MEFix [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRIg5xJU9H4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRIg5xJU9H4[/ame] Watch it b4 Youtube removes the music I put on there :O

What I have done is; I have made the NeF -> BeF model swap patch (with helm and size and animation fixes), made it so the blood elf model applies the night elf skins and edited all of the Blood Elf Hair colours into Night Elf ones (well, as close as I could get). Sylcai has kindly helped me swap the hair colours to make them look more realistic, many thanks Sylcai!

I've finished the skins for two non-combat pets!

Bombay Cat -> Night Elf Female Kid
Silver Tabby Cat -> Nightsaber Kitten

Mounts are done! here's a pic... they are simple DBC and skin swaps for the Black War Stallion, Elekk and Mechanostrider as well as the Stormpike Battle Charger... but I forget which mount becomes which cos I don't have any for testing lol. but you'll find out which with the release
Also the skins for the 60% mounts Black Stallion and Palomino have been changed to Black and Blue ones. for all you lowbies
The black war bear and Armored brown bear mounts have been changed to the respective ones in the above image.

Weapon edits are done! I have chosen weapons with fairly decent stats so you don't have to remove the patch if you are raiding, etc.
Visk'kag the Bloodletter Models -> darnassian 3-pronged glaive
quel'Serrar models -> Nordrassil double-glaive
peacekeeper blade/gnomeregan bonechopper -> Big elven glaive
Teldrassil Protector -> Miev Shadowson'g Battle-ring

Edit; This is no longer a WIP, this patch is officially done!

Edit: known bugs;
1. because the game uses the same BLP files for male NE hair as it does with female NE hair, the male NE hair colours all look a bit messed up at the moment. I would recommend removing the patch from your data folder if you're gonna play a male night elf
2. The non-combat pet "night elf female kid" will replace the skins off every blood elf female kid model in the game. to stop this, remove the patch before doing anything that would involve you wanting a blood elf child (Chilren's Week for example)
3. If you don't like any of the mounts or weapon swaps, then remove them from the patch :P
4. None of the displayed names have been changed (cos I don't know how to do that lol!) so for instance the Night Elf Female Kid is still called "Bombay Cat" in-game, etc, etc.
5. Underwear is NOT changed to blue... sorry guys but I think that the Night Elf brown underwear looks good on the blood elf model
6. the bear mount skin changes also changes those of the horde bear mounts.
7. As I started work on this patch quite a while ago, any head item that drops from the ICecrown 5-mans or the raid, as well as the Mohawk Grenade effect... will be shown as the normal NE ones. I will try to get these helmfixes done asap.

Any other bugs you can find when I release the patch, please don't hesitate to tell me so I can get fixing

Hehe, well nevermind about the rep, just nice to see a comment
Off Topic: Your sig leads me to believe you're a fan of female night elves, am i right?
On Topic: Just noticed that the skins for Night Elf Baked NPC's in WoW are still applied to the Blood Elf model, looks win and is spurring me to try anything to fix that green skin thing.

Bumping thread in order to show major progress!

Hehe, well it still needs a few tweaks and final touches here and there. Working on a few mount skins to go with the patch. Should be available in a few days. Non-combat pets have been made and I'm in the process of changing their in-game names. Pics added to original post

i need it to start playing on my nelf again

That's the whole reason I made it
I'm in the process of levelling my 5th character to lvl 80, it's a night elf druid.
It's currently level 67 and I got a bit bored with the boring, polygonal and slightly masculine model of the female night elf.

Edit; updated original post with known bug(s)

Congratulations!

This is a great job and a great contribution to the modding community. Thanks, dude.

[korric]

Thanks much for the comment
Working on a few mount skins at the moment (just a few DBC model swaps and customs nelfy skins for fun).
By the way; being as I'm still trying to figure out how to change the name of in-game things such as the non-combat pets, any help, advice or guides on how to do that would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if anyone can think of a Nelf-ish name for the "Night Elf Female Kid" non-combat pet, that'd be awesome... I'm not very creative when it comes to names lol

[adamskhi]

eluna shadowseeker or sum? :P

[raziel62]

awesome can't wait

[Corum]

forget bugfixing release it now xD

[korric]

forget bugfixing release it now xD

Lol that sounds very tempting, but there are a few other things such as elfy mount skins and such that I am working on as well. I've basically finished the mount skins and replaced the PVP mounts with them but I have none of those mounts on my characters for testing, so I'm going by what I can see in Model Viewer lol.
Oh yeah, I remember the other thing. You know them weapons that you see the Darnassus Sentinels with? the three proned wheel-glaive thing? Well I plan on doing some swaps of various weapons into those thing, and also I'm gonna put in Miev Shadowsong's weapon

[lobobare]

I very rarely post, but this looks so good. Eagerly awaiting your release sir.

[korric]

this looks so good. Eagerly awaiting your release sir.

Thanks, finished the mount skins now, I still haven't tested the mounts out cos I still don't have any of the pvp mounts. but I'm fairly confident with DBC swaps now so I'm pretty darn certain that the mounts are done.
Now moving onto a few weapons. If I had to estimate when it would be finished... possibly thursday, maybe tomorrow if I take a break from levelling my druid :P

Edit: Added images and information of weapon and mount swaps.
