Nagrand Skybox Editing

[jbr373]

Good afternoon

I wanted to know if it would be possible to use the Nagrand Skybox from 2.4.3 in 1.12.1? I edited the *.blp files used by the Skybox M2 file, and tested my edit in TBC which worked. But after creating an new MPQ (patch-3.mpq in format 1.0), the Skybox would simply not load. I've added the Model to the LightSkybox.dbc file (Replacing the Caverns of Time Sky, scince both are animated).

From what I've seen, the Skybox only adds the Nagrand Cloud Design and Moves it with an looping animation, like the one in Caverns of Time. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me to port it. If needed, I do have knowledge with M2 Hex Editing (010 Editor) and other tools.

the nagrand skybox in particular wasn't added untill 2.0.

I know, I have both clients (1.12.1 and 2.4.3) installed and tried to add the files from the 2.4.3 client to 1.12.1 by packing them into an 1.0 MPQ archive. There is no problems when I do that with .wmo files, but the skybox from 2.4.3 in 1.12.1 doesn't load - it won't give me a WoWError as well. Since the files are close (no .skin file for the skyboxes) I thought it would be useable. Is there some way to edit the info to get it to load? Hex editing Cataclysm files makes them load able in WotLK. Or would it help to use the 2.0.0 client?

Well i'm not familiar with any client editing besides 3.3.5, and this forum section is dead, pretty much only me left lurking around. But if you pm me I can give you some links to where you can get help.
