(Importing) Wow models

[Lenilur]

How do I import WoW models into World Editor. I have already have WoW but I don't know where the models are? Please help.

You'll have to extract the models before you can import them. Shouldn't be too hard to find one that can.

Just know that you're not allowed to upload maps with WoW models onto the Hive Workshop, if you read the rules.

The direct exporting of resources from games other than Warcraft III is prohibited. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, World of Warcraft®. No such resources may be submitted to THW. Forum discussions pertaining to the export or editing of resources from other games will be closed.

Using WoW models is NOT allowed, and this thread will not be open for much longer. WoW models are NOT good for your map, they are high poly and stick out amongst the Wc3 models.

I'm aware that it is against the rules to upload anything with World of Warcraft model; I'm not going to. I just want to have some terrain with Wow models. Oh and Angry Bovine, thank you. I will try that.

This site can not aid you in anyway with using WoW models. You can however inport normal models instead which you can read the inport tutorial on how to do so.

Out of curiosity, why are Wow models not allowed?

Brief answer - Legally they are not allowed. Using them violates the terms of use of WoW and thus enables blizzard to preform legal action against anyone found using them (if they bother). Also they are hated by the mapping community as they are often unoptimized and buggily ported so have huge file size and lag if too many are on screen.

Could someone make a model that's from scratch, but looks like a wow model?

 

[Angry_Bovine]

I'm pretty sure you can make something similar, you can't just copy it exactly. They must have some kind of copyright on their stuff.

Okay, all of my questions have been answered except one. Where would I go if I want to request a model?

A WoW model or just any plain old model? The Hive Workshop's "Request" forums would probably be a good place to go: Here we are.

Thank you all for your help.

Thank you all for your help.

You're welcome, and don't forget to change this thread to "Solved." Just edit your first post and change your prefix.

Whenever I try to edit the first post, ti doesn't show the prefix for editing.

I'm sure you can find some nice high resolution doodad models (like trees, props and buildings for instance) in Wc3Campaigns.

We don't support WOW models.
