Canada ... eh!?
I'm curious to know if anyone has attempted (with any sucess) a total conversion for WoW.. I'd like to know what your using to edit models and terrain, the utilities I have tried appear to be all dated, and less than suitable.

I'd like to be able to pretty much change everything from classes to spells (and the look of said spells) possibly with some visual work on the items as well.

Any suggestions are welcome, flames will be routed to /dev/null
 
Hmm.
Well it would only be for the purpose of private servers, you could not use it on retail server;)

As blizzard would come into your house at night with a balaclava with a blizzard logo on it and beat you to death with your own pc.
 
LOL, yea, this is totally for private use. I realize I'll likely need to redistribute the client, or at least issue a patch for it, but it would still be nice to at least have the option and the tools. :)

I'd also like to get some bots running around and populating the AH and other stuff like that, but I believe that's forbidden talk here.

That falls under wow server ideas/emulation.
so it's totaly allowed:)

And yes, alot of total conversion mods for other games "UT2k4/HL/ect.."
Have been very succesful, and many people enjoy the change, it also adds more fun to the game.

However doing one for an mmorpg would require a team effort, as we are talking on a big scale of design here.

Nice idea, but I rekon it will be a while before we ever see something like this;)
 
Just looking for something different. Despite what most think, it's not that hard to get a working server up, so what makes one server better than another? XP gain? population? stability? I'd like to explore the niche market :)

Right now, I want to have a look at how hard it is to mod so I will know if it's something I will want to even consider developing, and if my idea's have any chance whatsoever of working. :)

Fortunatly I code better than I skin, unfortunatly I don't code that well. :P
 
Well, the noggaholic team released quite a few command-line tools, one of which converts .3ds to .m2. I was using it to create my own models back when I was still working on WoW 1.12.x. I had a look at the source code, and it seems that it supports animation, but I can't quite figure it out. If we could, it would make it a LOT easier to create a total conversion. Couple that with a new interface and our own MaNGOS source, and we COULD do it...
 
Hey guys its me Nik i left WoW quite a while ago for habbo hotel servers =/ and now i regret it. I have forgotton everything about WoW servers. I have forgotten how to get the patches. I have forgotton were to get servers. I have forgotton the commands. I have forgotton how to run a server and i am in realy need of help. Plz guys could you help me get back into WoW i will realy aprriciate it and if i end up get my servers back i will make u guys GM's and sombody who helps he most an owner :)
 
snicker .... thats why reinstalled diablo diabloII the other day for the total conversions out there and trying to make my own. I figured Bli$$ would most likely be using the same model format they generaly use all models wrapped up tightly in one packadge (mpq) but I haven't gotten around to trying to open anything. But did think about the wowmoddel viewer wondering if there was a way to patch that or something to import/export the mods.just a thought.
 
looks like go good prog, dling it now hpoefuly its not just a one person side view of the changes, ie: all people connected could see it. IF thats the case of all seeing the changes then WOW I can see a quit a few things to be done (little towns and such in vast amount of mountains taking up so much map with nothing there but mountains. (getting hopes up)
 
i am currently working on a "small total conversion" (lol) but i am not getting very far alone. therefore the changes i have made are just basic:
-only 5 classes, based on the old ones with different skills
-maxlevel 30, every ten level new skills
-second class with level 10
-rebalancing
-more action(no mana,mage-classes cast faster,melee-classes attack faster)
-team-orientated,no more bashing/healing/imba shaman. example:only the monk can heal and ressurect now, but a monk doesnt have any offensive spells except the normal attack.


if you have any further ideas plz post them...my brain feels like empty
