[Model Reskin] Druids of Azeroth - New Shapeshift Skins

[Andrige]

One more thing, is there an ETA on the Tauren "Lion" being 100%?

Not really, I need to do some really awkward hex-editing to fix that... so far I'm off at an embarassing start. http://www.mmowned.com/forums/model-...creatures.html

The thing Schlumpf had written I can't find anywhere in the modelfile... I wish I could do this kind of stuff right away, remaking textures is quite easy if you have worked with Photoshop before, but going into something completely different and new is for me quite bothersome. Anyway, there have been people who have helped on hex-editing before, the problem I'm having in the topic I just linked is that I can't find the numbers he is talking about (I find 00 when I open the hex as max amount of numbers, when he wants me to find 000 (three decimals)).

So no hits when I search for it in the file.
Bleh. Anyway, there's absolutely no ETA on when I can get this thing ready.

Well, in any case, thanks so much for your hard work and effort. Longtime Druids all over thank you! I don't see why Blizzard can not make simple effective changes that would please the masses. These models are superior quality in every way. I think its funny that there is a chance of being banned for using cosmetic changes because Blizzard lacks the time required to re-skin druids as well as you did. IMO cosmetic model changing is much different then UI mods.

Oh well, I'm ranting. I'll keep updated on the topic. Thanks again!

Andrige, have my babies?

Seriously, the lion form is incredible. The eyes especially... you did an A1 job!

Cheers to you mate!

Amazing job on the new skin, Andrige. Absolutely love the Lion Model.
Altho, I did notice that the back half of both bear forms seem a lighter shade.
Not sure if this is new, i haven't compared with the old skins... But just fyi.
Again, great job. My Twink Druid is happy.

Im new to all this stuff so tell me if im doing something wrong:

I click the link and save the RAR file in My Computer/Local Disc/Program Files/World of Warcraft/ Data.
I log on WoW like normal and then.... nothing.

Wow the mane on Tauren Cat is incredible. Did you consider something similar for Night Elves? I imagine this mane on the former Pridestalker model (my currently model) to be extremely cool. Another thing about the Pridestalker / Nightsaber model I like is the shoulder area. I think this is the most natural look for cats in a prowling position with head close to the ground. What do you think?

Don't know if it is even possible but would love to see / use that. I'm not a big fan of the lynx model because I think it looks a bit demonic somehow. Least not very druidic )

Sorry but no... no... no... no... no... and yet another no.
I've had it with requests asking for me to spend hours of extra work just because you think it's not quite your taste. I'm sorry but I won't change a perfectly good model for Nightelves. I did Nightsabers though and I can release it again... maybe I'll bother, maybe I won't.

I can't count how many nights I've been sitting for like 4-5hours straight working with the skins, and yes this is just a hobby of mine, so as you might understand there's a limit on how much I can try to please your desires. Feel free to modify the skins yourselves or PM me for the .PSD and you could perhaps make something out of it yourself.

Right now I rather just be at peace.

Still would like some help pls

Still would like some help pls

...just read the Installation part, which I think you've missed. In case you haven't read, the files shouldn't have CAT&BEAR- or SPELLSOUND- in their filenames...
If you're new at modelchanging, you should at least take the effort of reading the main topic and follow the instructions if you don't know what to do...

P.S It's even in the readme document inside the .RAR file for heavens sake.

am i the only one who've noticed that the new lion have some enoying issues..
first,when i ding a lvl that gold thingy that goes around me won't show up,there's no effect when i shapeshift to the lion...but those are kinda allright, but the thing is that if you can see your own char name u can see that it is very VERY high...and when casters cast something towards me..thier spell is hitting few feets above the lion...is it only for me?! :confused:

[Adagio]

That's because the only cat models Blizzard has set up for player use is the tauren druid, nelf druid (lynx), and travel form (tiger) models. The frost sabre and lion come with a few glitches attached. The spell effects not showing up is due to the hex edit Andrige is using to correct the weapon issue.

[RionikuAnjiru]

Except for the actual glitches that are related to using a non-player model (No level up light show, no "slash" animation on Rake and Claw), the only thing that could be a small problem with the skins are the Lion's whiskers.

They are bright white and kinda clash with the rest of the model. I want to point it ou in case it's a simple oversight.

Still. a minor issue to a major improvement.
