[Screenies] Dark Stormwind

[techniquees]

I'm new to editing Warcrafts client files. So I thought I'd plan some small project that involved editing everything so I could get the hang of it all.

So I decided to convert Elwynn and Stormwind into Darkness. These are some shots of Stormwind. All I did here was swap the BLP references from stormwind to mostly Kara, and swapped the Skybox with Hellfire.

So sorry those of you who have been asking. The changes in this file don't quite match the images now, the tower texture is changed to a standard kara brick texture. As for the damned water.. I don't know where to go with it, so it's skybox standard for now. I tried messing with color values in Glitchy's editor but it made no difference. So I tried swapping the lake_a textures with the lava texture (global effect) and it just turned blindingly yellow, but lava-esque on the edges. So I'll leave it to you to play with it n see what you can get out of it. If you want to reproduce this, I seriously don't mind - Feel free. Textures belong to blizz anyhow.

8/3/08 - Started on Elwynn
I've purposely not put the skybox back the way it is in the screenshots for now, since I've started painting and WMO swapping Elwynn forest to add to the DS theme. So bare with me while that gets painted.. I'll upload an unfinished version soon so you get the jist of what I'm aiming for.

Try editing the statue blp's aswell... Or making them into some other statues...
Nice edit

[Lantonen]

New water hurts eyes... Don't know if it's possible, but try changing it to something less toxic-colored. Otherwise - nice edit.

[Malfurion]

Looks pretty nice. Good work.

[Quafe]

this is absolutely awesome! i love it! +rep
i agree with Lantonen, the toxic water is a bit hurtful, i'd suggest using some lava-like water

[Koksy]

when you're done, can you upload it? Really awesome edit.

[techniquees]

Yeah I'll add a link soon. Probably before its completed. There's lots of nitty textures like cathedral square and the keep that I can't really be bothered to go through at the mo. The floor of the keep has changes and parts of the wall have a texture from the citadel in HL2 coz it was the first .BLP import I had tested.

As for the water, I haven't got round to learning to edit that yet. I know I agree I don't like the colour either, it just came default with the skybox switch. But I'll definitely work on it soon. I really want it to be lava.

Seems I accidently saved over the file. Now I don't feel so silly for logging what textures I switched. phew! Be a slight delay on the upload.

Looks like Stratholme a little bit GJ man

Just use Skybox Editor in this tool

[Evolution]

Good job!
Try change the house blps tho

[Jamees]

u can get black water seen it in thousand needles that look better than green

[harakys]

lol, the new home for the horde

[Zhoa]

I think you should make the water either red (ie: Blood like) or just make it lava looking

[-Lex]

Dude, that looks awesome, but the water shoud be lava imo, and maybe fix the sunglow textures? (blahblah_s.blp)
