Such a shame that this project fell apart

Unfortunately that's just the old conversion of the entire cata map for 3.3.5a. What this topic is specifically discussing is porting JUST THE UPDATED STORMWIND itself into the 3.3.5a world map. So the rest of the world would remain as 3.3.5a. Most people can swap in the ported cata world map but it basically breaks the 3.3.5 quest experience cause zones are drastically altered and npc's then find themselves in awkward places. The goal this topic is talking about achieving would be akin to copy/pasting just stormwind from that conversion map and editing/merging it with the old 3.3.5a map so that 3.3.5a has a properly intact stormwind. Ideally if this ends up being successful a similar effort could be made on Orgrimmar though that would likely require a bit more work due to how updated Org connects with Azshara.

Just getting the updated stormwind into 3.3.5 would be amazing... somehow merging the old park into that map is just gravy IMO

It's all good man. Hopefully at some point in the future you can pick it back up. I'm only sorry I don't have the skills to help you or do it myself.

Hi all, I had some questions regarding race swapping. Specifically, I'd like to replace Gnomes with High Elves but without replacing gnome npc's. I'm told that its possible for the race swap to be done in such a way so as to only affect players. I know there's some sort of helm fix required as well. I am still quite new to all this modding stuff and the community on many forums seems to frown on anyone asking others to make a mod for them, so I thought I might get a better response by asking if there are any good tutorials online that I might try to follow to do the work myself. I've searched a number of forums so far (modcraft, ac-web, ownedcore) without much success in finding a clear tutorial on the process. Can anyone here help me with this project? Even if only to link a detailed and concise tutorial?

Awesome I can't wait to see it! As for the water... that can be looked at and fixed later I am sure. Just getting the updated stormwind into the wotlk world map is a titanic undertaking and managing that is highly impressive!

OMG! That would be amazing! Please don't forget me if you manage to finish this cause it would just thrill me to have a fly-worthy sw/org in 3.3.5a!

I lack the skills and talent that you fantastic modelers possess but I was wondering if any of you might consider making a patch that replaces the 3.3.5a sw/org with the updated ones from MoP. I know objects and npcs would need relocating, and that's at least something I can do, but beyond that my talents just arent up to the task to edit world maps. I'd really love to see this happen if its possible though! Even better would be if SW's park could be kept and somehow integrated but even if that's not doable I'd be absolutely thrilled to have the updated SW/Org without changing the entire world map to post-cata. Basically I'm hoping its possible to have both org and sw "fly-worthy" so flying over them isn't a parade of glitchy visuals.
