Leeviathan's WoD Character Models

Go into CreatureDisplayInfoExtra.DBC and find the Dragonmaw Foreman and look at the the last column to find the texture name. Go into Finsternis' files and delete that texture.

I looked in the log of WMV and found that it was referencing this texture which isn't in any of the patches. 

- Original: ffee4108dcabb5de4c0ab3343dd4d282.blp
- HD (missing) CreatureDisplayExtra-14575_HD.blp
- Ref: https://www.wowhead.com/npc=23376/dragonmaw-foreman#screenshots

PS - If you delete the model reference the client will crash, so I just put a replacement in.

I think this error could stem from the fact that this NPC had a bugged texture in Patch 6.0. It was supposedly fixed in 7.03. Another interesting thing is in WMV the texture shows a bugged texture on the model with a miner's headlamp. In one of the bugged retail screenshots the NPC has a blue cube on its head which I'm guessing is the missing miner helmet. Anyway.. fixed and moving on.

I may be misunderstanding the issue you're describing. I thought you were referring to the rough bottom edge of the cape, which is intentional, but that doesn't sound like what you're referring to anymore. I'm scrutinizing my cape vs. the cape in Wowhead Dressing Room and failing to see a difference other than the rough bottom edge.

In any case, I already sent you a gif of this problem earlier. This problem is clearly visible there.

This problem is still not fixed. 

I would like to make a suggestion (and even a request) to the developer: 


I think it would be cool to keep the Black War Horse mount with this model (like it was before) - It was my favourite one



And the others horses mounts with this updated model like they are right now (the ones that you can buy with some gold next to Stormwind)





And maybe even use a unique model for each one of those "Black War mounts" that you can afford for 50k honor points (just like the Black War Wolf)
Thanks!

This goes a bit to the wrong adress^^. Whisper me or ask on modcraft.

At my last update i warn about that change so that you can edit it by yourself, before you overwrite it. i will not go back to them .

So if you still have the old patch delete all folders without the ridinghorse one and rename the patch to Patch-H.

First I just want to thank you for making this. It will be so much more enjoyable to play classic now with the updated models. Quick question tho: do you have an ETA on the updated faces for the vanilla models? I see that it says "soon", just wondering what time frame you're working with here.

Hello, thanks you very much for this patch !

You think it's possible to import HD textures to WoW Classic on retail for the summer ?

"soon" meaning "probably a really long time from now" haha. I got distracted by another mod I'm working on plus I wanted to wait a while to make sure I didn't have any bugs before downporting it. I'm just about done with my other mod ("Draenei Redesign" coming soon) and I haven't been able to find any bugs for a while now, so maybe it really will be happening soon...

Hello, havent found this reported yet by anone so might aswell do it myself... Nightelf Males are missing teeth and basicaly entrie inside textures for the mouth.

Alright. Thank you for the response

I just uploaded updates for all. Better faces/helms/shoulders are now common between CL, BC, and WotLK version. I've also added Cataclysm Goblin NPCs and the optional Draenei Redesign I mentioned. the WotLK version is compatible with Finsternis's mod (WotLK) and the CL version is compatible with Uthil's Improved Models mod.

Seems like the download links don't lead to the updated post tho. I might just be doing something wrong. Rather, the vanilla one doesn't. The other two lead to mediafire links.

Thanks, fixed the link

Hi  leeviathan, fan of the work you have been doing with these updated models! There seems to be a problem with human female models specifically the portrait they are all displayed fullsize instead of head and shoulders, this bug was also in your previous version. The same can been seen with the Felorcs too. WoTLK client.

Goblin flightmasters seem to be using the older models.

Also find attached a fixed EmotesTextSound.dbc for WoTLK some characters were missing sounds for: Cackle, Chuckle, Giggle, Gloat, Guffaw, Mourn, Rofl, and Taunt.

Keep up the good work!
 

Cheers,

Arranz

p.s. Curious why this new one has to be loaded after Finsternis creature pack now?

Human Female portraits: these appear correctly for me. Are you sure you aren't overwriting my patch with someone else's patch (maybe a custom patch is lurking in the localization folder)? Or perhaps using a custom client (i.e. Warmane)? Also, my patch doesn't replace Felorcs.

Goblins: I'm aware some goblin models are the old model. I'm guessing the goblins that use the old model are NPCs that weren't in Cataclysm. FYI the goblin mod was made by someone else and I integrated it by request.

Emotes: thanks, somehow I always manage to unfix that dbc file. Thanks for letting me know.

Finsternis compatibility: Actually I don't see a reason my patch needs to load after Finsternis's mod, I take back what I said in my info.txt file

Thanks for getting back to me leeviathan, I see it is my ShadowedUnitFrames addon giving me that problem! Should be simple enough to fix that, I hope. Currently reviewing my client now as I noticed a couple of files (lichking.mpq and scan.dll) are slightly larger than what others are supplying anyway that is my problem not yours

Follow-up:
Sorry I wasn't clear about using the 3D portrait!
The problem does seem to stem from human female model as original one works. I did some research on this and blizzard messed up the worgens when first released and the 3D portrait was not working correctly ""See Here""

For now I've done a workaround for ShadowedUnit Frames similar would need doing for Pitbull addon:
 

ShadowedUnitFrames\modules\portrait.lua (very end of the file replace with the following)

	-- Use animated 3D portrait
	else
		frame.portrait:SetUnit(frame.unitOwner)
		local model = frame.portrait:GetModel()
		-- ChatFrame1:AddMessage('Model: ' .. model)
		if( strfind(model, "humanfemale.m2") ) then
			frame.portrait:SetCamera(1)
		else
			frame.portrait:SetCamera(0)
		end
		frame.portrait:Show()
	end
end

Cheers,

Arranz

Undead Female also reverses the camera order so it'll probably have the same issue

Also, just uploaded a bunch of fixes including: a random crash bug related to textures, Night Elf Male teeth not showing, the addition of missing sounds for various emotes. Also added a new hairstyle to my optional redesigned Draenei male. Oh boy

Just leave this screenshot on the conscience of the сreator of the mod, as you can not even notice it.

Can anyone explain the problem warfol02 is trying to show me?

Quick question, but I don't know if this is the right place for it. Is there any way to tell if these files also include female goblin models? Because I'd like to change all gnomes to Goblins instead if possible.

Look carefully at the cloak, and you will realize that there are additional textures, but it's not textures, and additional animation.For clarity, I will show more in the second screenshot.

Understood; the cape is clipping with the Tauren's back. I can adjust that when I do another batch of updates.

Also, is it just me or does female orcs faces still look a little outdated? Their eyebrows are low quality, as well as their lips.

It's not just you, the original resolution of the HD model faces is 512x512 and I have less than half of that (256x192  in WotLK and 128x96 in CL/BC). Optimization helps a lot--generally I got about 1.5-2x the pixels allocated to the faces--but the gap in resolution is extreme. For your edification here's what I've done to optimize the Orc Female face: the original is on the left and the optimized one I created is on the right. http://www.mediafire.com/view/39n4q6tkhe4v24w/ORCFEMALEFACELower00_00.jpg#

Forgive my ignorance, but is there any way to up the resolution on the faces? Or is it a limitation of the client?
