conversion and compatibility (Model)

[neodarkhunt]

Hi friends, i need to know if it is possible to use TBC models (some of them) to use it with a 1.12.1 emulator ( and client of course ). For exemple: if i want to use one of the dragon model from TBC and put it in the 1.12.1 version, it's compatible? or not?. If not, there is a way to convert it to make it work for the older version of the that specific client?

Thanks for your time, and idea (if you have any to suggest).
Good Day.

Since custom models work, that should work out.

that exactly i thinked just before login in on mmowned. lol.
Ok now, let's brainstorming a little. First i must admit im really a noob for model editing, i worked there and there but not much. I heard that blizzard change something in the model from 1.12.1 ---- to ------- burning crusade. is that true?

So in theory if i take one .m2 model from a mpq client of burning crusade, it should not work if i adding it to the 1.12.1 mpq client?

Let me explain a little more f what i thinking to do:

Dont forget it's for a 1.12.1 client. I know i could upgrade to a better emulator and upgrade the client, but i worked a lot on a lot of thing on it and my players like it this way. I just want to add some new elements to it without upgrading.

1. I hate the undead race (for exemple), it is possible to replace this race (the model only, nothing else) to a blood elf from Burning Crusade?

2. Same thing for one let say nether drake to replace the normal drake. Dont care if they doesnt fly, just want to change the model.

Note: i post always my problems here on Mmowned because i know there is many really good peoples with a lot of skill. I just hope someone can guide me a little bit so i can make it

I already read the Guide for Custom Mdel on the mmowned forum (the one of Glitchy), but it doesnt answer really to my question about compatibility.

Thanks a lot again for anyone that can give advice or trick.

There were some minor changes in the fileformats 1.x -> 2.x so it's not sure if they work. They could work but you have to test if they do.

i tryed the fastest way without conversion or anything, just take one model (i taken the riding ellk - to replace the Boar model) ... no crash on the client but nothing showing. i tryed the .morph command and my character become invisible ( notice i couldnt move too) change back to normal, no crash. but all Boar are now inexistant in the game. too bad, it doesnt work.... so i return back into the mpq with mywarcraftstudio to find that the model is showing on the windows..... so the client dont show but mywarcraftstudio show it.(i use a old version that support the older wow)

If i convert it for exemple to 3ds... ok... what i must use to re-convert it to m2 compatible with 1.12.1?

any idea?
