[Area Change][WIP] The First Era Project - A New World...

[Tuo+Manuron]

Version: 2.0 Beta

Stratholme Map Updated!

<SCREENSHOTS ARE OLD!!!>

Ok, so the first thing i'm going to say is, W00T! What am i 'W00T'ing for, you ask? Well, before i continue, i want you to

picture a WoW, where the unseeable, is seeable. The unhighlightable, is highlightable. The things which you thought you

couldn't do, are now doable. You see, i've always wanted to change particular things in this immensly addictive game, only i

never knew how... This website was like a sanctuary for me ^^ Therefore, after me struggling to learn, however succeeding

thanks to a few figuralitive GODS on this website, me and Manuron got together and decided to make our dreams, and many other

millions of people's dreams, a reality. Before i go on to say anything else, i want you to take a look at a map. But not any

map, no... This map, made by Manuron, and edited slghtly by me, reflects the work we have done so far on The First Era

project. As many of you may know, this started out as the 'Lordaeron Farmlands' and the 'Redridge Valley / Pass'. Two

geniuses are better than one. Meh, without further a do, i present to you, your new map! (ADTs within the mod have not yet

been edited):




Of course, due to this only being a beta version, only a few of these places have been edited. That's not all! We don't only

plan on edited EK, but also Kalimdor, which played a large role in the shaping of today's WoW society (and, of course, the

all time favourite Northrend and Outland (Outland - Draenor)). So far, we have focused on the areas of Lordaeron. We aren't

fully finished yet, and you will notice there are a few things which will require editing. This is a very early release,

earlier than we thought. Me and Manuron will be updating this post regularly with recent updates. Below is the map once

again, only this time we have noted the places which have been edited:



Below is a list of the changes we are PLANNING on making within Lordaeron:

• ADTs
• Undercity - Lordaeron (woot for hurry the **** up with the NoggIt?)
• Stratholme - Stratholme? (Likewise)
• One wrecked building still need to be found so we can edit it ^^
• Andorhal (a few buildings in andorhal need changing)
• Gilneas (NoggIt?)
• Town Hall (wall gets in the way of some crucial things throughout in a few Lordaeron towns)
• A few fences are slightly fruited (notice the purposeful avoidment of the swear filter)
• Towers outside Stratholme are abit...well... stuck in the ground ^^ (woot for NoggIt?)
• And... that's about it. Apart from a few fountains nd etc

(Oh yeah, mods, this is a shared account between me and Manuron. We won't be using it as such, but this is a shared project

and therefore we deserve everything we get, together. Neither of us will post this on our seperate accounts at the other's

expense, i hope you understand)

So, where the fruit are the screenies?!

Well, (yes i can read your mind) i thought i'd leave them to the somewhat last. I find this project rather large and

therefore find it hard to pinpoint specific places to take a picture at. No picture will capture this project at the level at

which it is currently at... You just have to download and see it. Yes, this is my first released project, and likewise for

Manuron (i think).

'WHAT? DOES THIS MEEN THERE WILL BE NO PICTURES?!'

No. There will be pictures, and to those of you whom have had the courtesy to have read up to here without scrolling down, i salute you! The pictures you see will NOT capture the extent of this project. Imho this project is way to dense and intense in 1337ness for any frame to include the whole picture. I'll post some anyway due to u guys demanding them ^^

So... Where's the Download Link?!

Straight Below

(PS if anybody encounters any problems, please make them known. This patch has been known to fruit up in the past.. the skies started to randomly change by themselves at one point. Although that's fixed now, who's to say it won't happen again.

Please please please do let me know if you encounter ANY problems so that i can fix them, i hate the thought of releasing a bugy patch

Download Link = [ame="http://files.filefront.com/patch+3MPQ/;13416817;/fileinfo.html"]patch-3.MPQ Download File on FileFront[/ame]

ANY problems, speak up!

You've done a very nice job, I love the reskin with trisfal glades I hate the place.. just because its dark and sppoky :P.. It would be nice if you could make Tanaris shallow water (like a beach), ungoro into a snowy place, and turn icecrown into something nice / friendly.. My thoughts for future creations..

Good job, I would give each 7/10, I like how you turned the ''dark places'' into something bright and green, but it likes creativity because its pretty much what blizzard has created, everything you made I could get with out the model edit..

[~sInX]

everything you made I could get with out the model edit..

Oh rly? This project is designed at taking the player back in time. The First Era. Everything you see is based on that. We're not going to pretend just to be creative and make somethign totaly out-of-place and ugly. Mainly because i dont like ugly, partly because, well, hardly anyone else likes ugly, and finaly because the First Era wasn't ugly You tell me you could go back in time (disregarding strat past). How so?

The things you see in this project were all there in Warcraft 1 - 3. It's all time-based. Not Creative-based. I won't purposefully change something into an alternative area just because some people would regard it as 'creative'. If something is ugly, then it's ugly. Such as a snowy Un'Goro, which could never have happened. All my work is based on possibility and beauty. Un'goro was created due to the creation of Uldum. It's exotic. NOT snowy. It's not a possibility, and it's not beautifull. it's just ugly. Likewise for Friendly ice crown.

Thanks for ur praise though.

[[ Prototype ]]

awesome shit. +rep

[~sInX]

Omg m8 i salute you! xD

[gengargoyle5]

Projects like this are the reason I LOVE EDITING! +Rep for ya!

[~sInX]

^^ thx m8, appreciated!

[Donandi]

nice, good work

[Xel]

Westfall was called Westwood before it came Westfall so you should name it like that, not Elwynn Farms. This is awesome but its kinda too simple, add more feeling in it

[~sInX]

Hey xel, don't worry mate... this is the most borig part of the project ^^ (or widely regarded so)
i personaly find lordaeron and pre-lordaeron utterly FASCINATING! (lrn2noteemphasis)
although a lot of people are more interested in the pre-kalimdor (nelf kingdoms etc) we're working on that as we speak! xD

thanks for the westwood, we found it appropriate to call it Elwynn Farmlands simply due to the resemblance with t glades and t farmlands... they are both situated beside one and other and one has amny farms whilst the other is populated by small various villages throughout. westfall can hardly be called a wood due to it's severe lack of trees and therefore a wood resemblance. thanks for ur advice tho m8 xD always appreciated

[Wolfly]

I'd like to see how you do pre-Kalimdor. What are you going to do for that tho?
I reckon changing Felwood is one part, but what else?

[~sInX]

2 answer ur question wolfly, if anyone didnt know:

Kalimdor was once entirely owned by "Elves". During this time, Orcs shared the lands of Draenor with the Draenei, Trolls were a scattered and varying nation throughout Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms, Tauren were small clans of bull-men throughout Kalimdor, and of course, due to Humans not yet exiting, the Undead were very far off. Dwarves owned small colonies throughout what would later become known as 'Khaz modan' and the Gnomes were members of the Dwarven tribes. The "Elves" were ran by Cenarion and Azshara. Azshara was later to be enticed by Xavius, the first Satyr, to let Sargeras into the world of what is widely regarded as Azeroth, so that Sargeras would kill all the 'impure' beings, and create a nation where Cenarion would no longer exist, and Azshara and her partner Sargeras would rule a world of nobility and perfection. Of course Sargeras was only fruiting about, he actualy wanted to destroy the entire world of Azeroth with what is now regarded as the Burning Legion, which he was slowly forming in Draenor. So yeah, the Burning Legion utterly destroyed all of the northern "Elf" kingdoms. During which time, refugee Elves, fleeing the death and misery of Kalimdor, fled to find a new home in the Eastern Kingdoms. These were the High Elves, now the Blood Elves. These dudes were eventualy severed with the well of eternity, losing their immortality and their blue-ish glow. Mmm yeah, so basically Xavius was turned into a Satyr (basicaly a traitor Elf) and was given the powers to turn others into Satyrs (birthing the Satyr race). Azshara was cast into the ocean off the coast of Azshara from her temple being surrounded by the once-glorious elven city due to her treachery(cba to research names). As she was wailing nd screaming she was turned into the Naga by Sargeras along with the other Highbornes surrounding her (birthing the Naga race). Two great elven cities were destroyed within Northern Kalimdor, and Sargeras would have succeeded in destroying all of Azeroth if Illiden, Malfurion and his biach hadnt have stopped him. Malfurion then went on to destroy the well of eternity in order to prevent sargeras and his legion from returning, but illiden didnt want his magic powers to cease and therefore left his brother to create a new wel of eternity in Hyjal. Malfurion locked him away for this for millions of years but illiden's soon-to-come biach set him free under the influence of sargeras if Illiden was to serve sargeras for eternity in the burning legion.

History lesson for ya'll who didnt know it there. basic history of Kalimdor. Which answers your question of what i'll do for the rest of kalimdor. ELVEN! xD The entire of northern kalimdor was elven. Far south was mostly tauren, but i meen farrrr south. Silithus, Tanaris, etc. Un'goro wasn't heavily populated due to it's exoticness. its been contemplated whether or not taurens were aeon offspring from the titans and some other mythical bull-creature of that time, but meh, i didnt delve that deep xD

So... Kalimdor will be elf / tauren ^^ felwood is the most obvious one. Restoring the kingdom of Azshara will be rather difficult though (for the day whence a 3.x.x noggit reaches us!). it will be fun though! ^^

(yeah, going to kalimdor will be rather like going back aeons further than what you see in Lordaeron, but i cant exactly split them... Lordaeron was just plains and water, with small tribes of semi-evoluted trolls throughout. That would just be rather boring tbh : /

(sorry for wall of text)

[Emilie Autumn]

Verynice potential there are ofcourse a few holesin your lore but putsome more work in andyou will have an amazing edit =)

tbh i wont use it i like the vil and darknes it gives my paladin somthing to fight against =D

[~sInX]

heh, silverhand? xD
(currently doing a skin edit to go with tfe)

[Wolfly]

So if I get this right..
Everything on the same line and north of Azshara you're making elven am I right? Could be wrong, but I think the well was in Azshara.
Either ways, good luck with it
