Warcraft Model Library: General Information
The following Maps use the Warcraft Model Library Assets:

What is Warcraft Model Library?
The Warcraft Model Library is a project with the intent to make creating Warcraft themed maps even easier. This library includes several Mod files with World of Warcraft models that will be uploaded and updated on Battle.net for everyone to use. All you need to do to use these mods is download the mod file and place it in the mods directory in your Starcraft 2 folder (I will put a link or create a tutorial on how to do that later). Currently this library consists of DOODAD models only. However, I hope to add units and tree resource models soon. In addition, myself and a team are currently going through each model and enhancing the detail by adding normal maps.

If you decide to use any of these mods, I only ask that you give proper credits on the loading screen or in the map itself. In addition, anybody can add mod files or update current mod files by using the Warcraft Model Library site set up. There are detailed instructions on how to do this in the Instructions document.

If you have any questions or would like to work with me more closely in making this project more robust, please contact me at [email protected].

Want to Help?
This project is completely open source. Anyone can use these mods for any project. All I ask is for proper credits somewhere. This also means that anybody can help improve this project! Whether you'd like to help host a mod file, report bugs, update/improve existing mods, or even add your own model libraries to the mix, it is all encouraged. By helping with any of these things, you will receive proper credit and my thanks :)

Currently, we need help hosting all the model libraries. Because of the restrictions Blizzard has created, I alone cannot host every mod file. If you would like to Sponsor a Mod file, you will be given credit in the actual Mod name on Sc2 Mapster or any other Website with the mod.

I also would appreciate feedback on the Libraries themselves. Any activity and posting helps keep this project relevant.

If you would like to help, contact me here or at [email protected]

It might be a good idea to use the WoW counterparts of some models instead as they have a higher quality mesh and texture than WC3 models (so fit better into SC2). Especially with creeps this would be a good idea.

Perhaps the name is confusing, but these ARE WoW models. I just named it Warcraft library because its about bringing the warcraft theme to Sc2. Also World of Warcraft Model Library was too long and doesnt sound as good :)

Theoretically, if the mods are published as public (which they are), then all one has to do is download the mods, add them as dependencies in their map and then upload the map. Battle.net SHOULD find the public mods and load them when the game is played.

The only problem is it's a little buggy, but I hope that Blizzard will fix it over time (maybe when HotS comes out).
