Turtle WoW HD patch MPQ repo

I (Astricon) am also active on the Turtle WoW Discord Channel in my own subchannel #hd-patch. However, I will refer you to this GitHub for known issues and FAQs sometimes, or someone else will.

Contents

This mod updates many things at once in your client to appear more modern. This is the most frequently-updated part of the HD Mod (patch-A). patch-A includes the following:

patch-B: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GQ932XSzsFMKozhGd-a8HPetQI79xcXb/view?usp=share_link

patch-C: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LAldcTI2CFliAvMTYVbURDngHyqVTzCH/view

Installation

As with any MPQ-based Classic WoW mod, simply get the MPQ by downloading it from the "Releases" link on the main github page, then put the MPQ file in your TWoW/data folder with all the other MPQs. If you have other MPQs in this folder from other mods, their name will matter as MPQs load in order alphabetically. If you only use the HD mod, this will not affect you.

Reporting a Bug or Submitting a Request

You can report bugs and submit requests through the Issues tab in Github. Please check the Frequently-Asked Questions and Known Issues section of this README as well as existing issues before posting a new issue. Also, make sure you have observed the issue exists with the HD Patch and NOT without it, and that you have freshly deleted your WDB folder and that the issue isn't due to interactions with other addons and mods you maay have.

Frequently-Asked Questions

Can you make a version of this without X change? I like Y but I don't like X.

No, but you can! Download Ladik's MPQ Editor (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/ladiks-mpq-editor.249562/) and get to work. It's not that hard. Once you have it, all you need to do is go into patch-A with it and delete files you don't like. Finding which files are the correct ones to delete can be challenging, but it can also be pretty obvious. Here's some common use cases:

I want the player character models and textures but I don't want the new spell effects and sounds

Delete the following:

I want a certain race to be modern, but not others

Sorry, this is way harder to do than you think. You'll have to edit DBCs for this one.

I don't want the equipment visual changes

The music isn't right in some areas. I'd prefer the vanilla versions

Will this be updated in time for the next Turtle WoW patch?

Probably. I (Astricon) am on the TWoW team, so I have access to their client changes which I can work on before launch. The current patch is updated for the Gilneas patch.

Can I Contribute?

I think so. Try making your own branch and see if it works. Otherwise, contact me on Discord. I use the same name there (Astricon)
