Model/Map Viewer for 2.0?

Makesfolkslose · 12-08-2006, 12:22 AM

Both my model and map viewer seem to not be working after the patch. Is there a place I can download updated versions of these? Any help would be appreciated.

I wouldn't really worry about it. Blizzard has made some serious changes to prevent it from this day forth.

Prevent what? The use of these programs?

Model changing, extracting game data from the MPQ files, we all know it will be cracked in a week, but if you are looking for working versions I would wait a while.

I was lucky to finish my last project before the patch... But I have sympathy for those who only made it half way through.

I hope there'll be some other way to do this soon.

There's an updated version to get around the new security somewhere. ;D

Have a look for the 'TBC' version.

I don't see why people use WoWModel viewer so much. If you can't do it in the game the right way it isn't really right. In some cases for special shots I would suggest it, but it really isn't the greatest thing to use. I like live content, the use of WoWModelViewer makes things look too fake, you also know people work harder at something when they don't use it. I like the program and what it does, but the use for it now days is overrated.

I think these programs are essential for making machinima on par with what we've seen so far. There are movies out there that are shot all ingame, and they can be really good, but the level of realism and cinematography overall from the world and map viewers just cant be matched by full ingame shooting. I don't understand what Blizzard would have against these programs, because its clear that they support the machinima community, and ALOT of movies use them.

Anyways, if any finds a place to download these, please send me a PM or email.

Already have model swaps fully working in 2.0.1 as well as live beta, not that the framework is any different between those 2 clients. C++ ftw.
