High Elf Mage + High Elf Sorceress without Tiara icon

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
I made a High Elf version of the Blood Mage, and as well as a female version of it based on dehme's Female Blood Mage.

Base model is Blood Mage, breastplate is from Maiev, torso and neck are from Warden, and head and hands are from Sorceress; all of them are retextured

Here's how they look like in game:

Recommended sound set for female is from Sorceress, and don't forget to download the .pkb files on the comment below

Amazing work both of you. This is exactly what I was looking for! 10/10 models!
Also @Ardenaso thank you for fixing the Female Bloodmage as well!:peasant-cheers-back:

I have only an issue...i do not know where the .pkb file go
First time I see these. Do they go in the import manager too?
yes just import it for it to work
 
New update? Already? :D Don't mind if I do ;)
It is just a small change in the skin, I have proceeded to desaturate the hair to make it look more natural color and then to match the color of the armor to that of the high-elf swordsmen (Also the icon has been updated to match the hair color)

Hello! Loving using these models. Thank you again for creating them
Regarding the female version can you also make he hair a bit more hd similar to the male version? Not really a color change but make it look more at the level that the male version has it?
Love her as a red head but if making her blond will be a quicker way that can work too :D
Can you also do it for @dehme model? Female Bloodmage

Edit: no more needing to change the hair. If we want ti blond just use the textures from the male on female and bam blond sexy blue eyes woman.

Hello, I've run into an issue with your updated Female Blood Mage model, the updates you made to it, aren't rendering and remaining just a white slate instead of having their proper coloring.

Can you please inform me how to fix this?

wait you mean the textures aren't loading?
No, they are not, in fact the High Elf ones doesn't load at all, which is sad, I also don't want to mess with the game cause Blizz doesn't like people doing that (e.g. the Private Servers for old wow expansions being removed and WoW Classic being added) so I was wondering how to fix that, the model animations are all there but the model's textures, along with skins, don't load into the game at all. It might just be the import pathing as I don't know how to fix that but just importing skins doesn't work anymore.

Ok, send me a message in private. I will make you a step-by-step guide to make them work.

works fine for me

@Fendol try setting the SD into HD in the import manager, or better yet - save the map as a folder, then create an _HD.w3mod folder inside where you can just extract the downloaded files then just put * on the search box then copy-paste the relevant contents

I´ve found the problem: "Female High Elf Mage main emissive.dds" was missing. It may happen because I had downloaded just the female files. I have corrected an now it works correctly. There is no need to put them in HD folder.
