WoW Alpha Ironforge model

[Gimpballman]

I was wondering, is there any way of 'decoding' the models from the .mpq file that was used in the alpha? Because it would be amazing if someone could get the alpha models working in game
I have looked through the mpq and there are two unnamed files in there, if that's any help.
You can download the Ironforge mpq from here
Sorry if this has been asked before

You know, I'd actually like this too. Bump.

The MPQ is a WMO. Its a combination of all group WMOs as well as the root WMO. You need to split it into seperate files. Then there also is some slight difference between the structures. That has been the point where I was too demotivated to do more. I wrote parts of a converter once though.

Try comparing an unchanged WMO between alpha and current versions.

On WMO/v14 - WoW.Dev Wiki one can now find a basic documentation about the WMOs back then.
