Water not working

[Uthil 216]

So, I'm working on my project and want to test some maps from WotLK downporting them back to vanilla. So, my first attempt was EPL. Got the .adt files, .wmo files etc etc. But in areas that the map had small lakes now it's empty. As PhilipTNG says in his video of this downport to TBC, the map worked, with some issues of course, but unfortunately he also didn't have any water cause of the old system that TBC/Vanilla uses. I had this issue in either the vanilla or TBC, wanted to be sure that wasnt only vanilla before I see Philips video. So, so we have any info if water data changed from the WotLK and beyond, cause I believed that I wouldn't face any issues, since didn't think that water data got also upgraded. Can I do something by editing the map with Noggit, or there is a tool or method to change the water data so ti could read the old water ?

Thanks in advance

P.S.: are we still active here or we (as community) are disappearing  slowly into the nether ?

Pretty sure water got updated in Cata , not sure what but there is a newer version available and it's quite a nice upgrade.
All i know is Xtextures has to do with water and such

And the community is still active but mainly on discord it seems.

True, didn't think of that to be honest. I'll check on Xtextures and see what's going on there. I cross fingers to make it work when I move textures with it. Furthermore, I know that WotLK has lot of changes, like they made the base for the future expansions. That's why is so compatible from Cata and beyond. In the other hand, the difference in TBC/Vanilla is that their DBC's and models info are kind of “poor” lets say, in records and structure, so that makes them difficult to mod them.
