Great pack, thanks !

Just a thing, in Cat form, the player's name is very high above the model, cf. http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/484/modelfv2.jpg
Doesn't really matter, just wanted to inform you about that ( maybe already mentionned before, in that case sorry for repost )

So its a low chance of detecting if someone changes the models you say. Any ideas on how they might find out if someone changed their model? Is there a test they can perform on you? is it hitbox changes? What? I would feel alot more at ease while using this wonderfull pack if i had a hint on what might give me away.

And also, if i against all odds get busted, with no bann reccords on my account surely its not a question about perma bann is it? Im not familliar with the bann system in wow.

I'm not totally sure about this; there are some GMs that have been screenshoted to say that it is fine, and some people on the official forums who acts like police and say it's wrong and heard that their best friends friends granddad got busted for something...

They have a way of detecting it with Warden, which is a program that detects third-party software that could be used for example, speedhacking or the like. I don't have it confirmed that it can detect "patch-#.MPQ" additions to the Data folder, but assuming this it will not check unless a GM flushes your client for any kind of oddities. But, as I've talked with a GM friend I know actually, he said that they don't check for that kind of stuff at all mostly unless it is abused like WSG flag becoming huge or herb-nodes turning to larger objects and so on. A skin-change is just as you might think, not that big a deal for the GMs to attend, and since they are humans and understand that some people like to mod their WoW cosmetically; don't bother.

Basically the only thing that can get you caught would then either be a sudden and unpredicted change in a patch, say like 2.4 to detect these kinds of files and then immidately suspend your account, however that is unlikely to happen. I recommend if you want to be cautious tho, that before every patch installing you could rename the patchfiles from this pack, or move them out of the folder. Then browse around the net and see if people have been banned, and if nothing have happened; put them back in and enjoy.

Also, you shouldn't be talking too widely about in-game aswell, some people can act like police and report you if you do it in General for example, or when many people can hear it. Just keep it to yourself or your friends if you want to play it safe, and for the really paranoid you shouldn't even mention it at all in-game (not even in Whisper, a GM can track that aswell).
So... overall, there have been no real and official mass-ban due to barely noticeable cosmetical change, aswell as GMs from around the world have said to some that it is okay and some say it is not, mostly Blues on the official forums.
I think it is safe and have been doing this for two years almost with cosmetical patches constantly on my system, and have talked about with guildees aswell as in /say in Orgrimmar without any repercussions.
But in your case I suggest you keep it to yourself, and hide the patches when an update is installing on your system.

Hope it helped.

Yeah, I should definitively act it more
Thanks and hope you'll enjoy using my pack.

Out of Topic: Oh, and I'm trying to understand 3DsMax a bit now btw, I'm currently trying to make a custom set of shoulders that could actually fit a Feral Druid rather than a tree... *cough*...
So far I'm confused as hell, but I hope I'll get around to learn it in time.
Could be fun trying to design something in 3D for starters now.

[Gnermo]

Yo buddy, love this. But why are there 2 files from the non-alternative with patch-7? Can i change this?

[malus]

i noticed NE worgen dont wield your weapon, while Tauren Worgen does. Is there some way of making the NE wield it aswell?

[Hussun2021]

WOW this is great just what i was looking for can someone help me in actaully getting to the client download of this thing? If you would help it would be wonderfull

[tyraelis]

I've tried the Worgen patch before, but unfortunately having a worgen the size of the cat form is... underwhelming, a bit. I was wondering if the worgen model could be enlarged to something more like the Duskwood size or humanoid size rather than Dwarf or gnome.

gotta say this pack is the reason i started a druid. i cant stand the default tauren cat form. anyway ive been using maya and 3d max for 3 years now so im offering my help if u ever need it.

Well, I'd appreciate if you could give me tips then.
I'm for the moment not trying anything animated so if you could help me with the basics of building models I'd be glad, add me to MSN if you have some help for me (my user information page for MSN)

And glad to hear that this pack made you start playing a Druid, quite many now who went "I've always wanted to play one and now this pack makes it bearable", which is always good news ^^

[warwizard205]

i'm probably missing something completely obvious with this, but when i click download, it gives me one RAR file that i can't open or do anything with. can anyone walk me through the download/install process?

[Xanth]

Ok, figured out I'm a newb... was posting about the tigergem, but I'm finding it's not new...sorry...

anyways...

Love the druid pack, and thanks for all the hard work !:wave:
