[Showcase] Dark Alliance

[techniquees]

This was adapted on my initial edit which can be found on the forum under Dark Stormwind. It's quite far from finished, I thought I'd show you guys since there's always a good idea or two thrown around in a thread. The general idea is that The Black Dragonflight have dominated the Human race and their homeland. Converting Elwynn forest into Lava-Worn Forest and Stormwind City into Dark Stormwind. While the Dragonflight have moved south, the Dark Iron have moved north into Ironforge and formed a pack with the Black Dragonflight.

I was thinking of adapting this into an instance for private server. Though for now it's just being created on Live in the Azeroth Map.

Current Sub Zones in Lava-Worn Forest -
Ruins of Goldshire

Current Sub Zones in Dark Stormwind -
Darkened Valley (Valley of heroes)
Wyrm District (Trade District)
Armory (Old Town)
Abandoned Square (Cathedral Square)
Dark Iron Square (Dwarven District)
The Pit - Unedited (The Park)
Mage Quarter - Unedited


Available Screenshots UPDATED!













Yes, Stormwind still has that bloody Specmap issue. Since Stormwinds textures don't seem to have _s.blp files I'm a little lost with how to deal with it.

Current Editing Used
- CreatureDisplayInfo.DBC Edited to Swap Guard models with Wyrmkin
- CreatureCache.WDB Edited to rename NPC's.
- Global texture swap on textures used in Stormwind (Considering editing the WMO directly to only affect the textures in Stormwind)

- WMOAreaTable.dbc edited to rename stormwind & Stormwind Sub zones.
- Texture file editing. (Darkened Statues and guard textures)

Awesome, detailed work.. +Rep

[#ClumsyWizard]

Another delay in my now 2 year delayed Machinima. I could use this for some nightmare scenes... or maybe a forward look into the future (If the Main Character decides to go along with his war mongering ways.)

Got to wait... got to wait..

If you want it mate, just yell. Love to share.

Wow, that is amazeing. TBH, my favorite races are The Black Dragons and Dark Iron Dwarfs. Deathwing the Destroyer will once again reign chaos! ...
Anyways, it is really amazing, and I would love to help out with this project, if needed. I tried turning IronForge into a Dark Iron city before, but I failed due to server problems, and my lack of good EMU skills, which has increased sense then.
Also I can't help but say, (being a lore head and all.) The Black Dragons would never make a pact with the Dark Irons. Ragnaros or Deathwing just wouldn't allow it. Or they might, only to later on double cross each other.
Either way, I can't wait to see the finish product and I'll be following the progress closely. Best of luck!

aghh a lore geek :P Yeah I did consider that.. The only reason I figured it the most plausable outcome is the Dwarf district + Deep Run link.
