zZzLABoneyardzZz Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Sup I am a fan of World of Warcraft. The game world itself is so epic in my opinion, the awsome oversizedness of everything from trees to houses. I love the atmosphere the game gives as well, its comforting but powerful like a really well written novel. I am not obsessed with the game myself, I do not go on to grind for 23 hours a day and then go raiding with my friends. I do RP on the servers and explore and complete quests with my friends. However if you are one of those stupid haters that do not care about Wow or anyone who has anything to do with it then you have come to the wrong place. In this mod i plan to recreate Azeroth, I know at first that sounds like a massive undertaking, well im glad to infiorm you that you're right. I probably will need help and since none of my friends like Wow it would have to be somone from here. I have made about 40% of stormwind already in the space of about 4 hours. I have a lot of experience with the Level designing area of the Creation kit. I can make NPC's, I can Navmesh, make new weapons. I can clutter and make worldspaces. What i cannot do is LOD, quests and vendors. In terms of how do i get there, The awnser is, you arent really meant to travel between the two, though at the moment its possible. These are seperate game universes and sepereate areas.there will be enough land and quests in this mod to keep you occupied. The entrance will be somwhere at the start of skyrim/ Probably in the castle just after you get your binds removed. Dont bring any gear into Skyrim or from Skyrim to Azeroth. Its all done differently restats, some enchantments changed and e.c.t. There will be 4 Boxes with different stating Gear, Warrior, Paladin, Hunter and Mage. Because im using School Computers i cannot look on the Wow website the find out all the classes avaliable to the game. When you use this mod create a new character as a Nord. This is because Elwynn forest is a Human Area. I Once ive finished Stormwind Elwynn and possibly Westfall i will make a starting location for either Orcs, blood elves (high elves) or Night Elves (dark elves) And will have the classes equipment boxes that they are allowed. remember theres still a few things that will take logner to sort out. e.g. guns in Wow will be hard to reperesent in Skyrim. The first release will be Elwynn Forest, Stormwind and maybe westfall. Obviously there will be areas of the game i will not make. As this would be impossible. I want to start with making the Eastern Kingdoms. Sorry Horde players, but im doing alliance first. I will eventually make Horde areas, but Alliance comes first. At the moment i am doing each area of the game to one worldspace as Skyrim is Far more CPU intensive than Wow and making the Eastern kingdoms in 1 Worldspace would result in a loud explosion coming from the CPU followed by a faint high pitched hissing noise from the Graphics card/cards. In this mod a lot of the items are larger than in skyrim. This is because of Wow's style or just the way they wanted it. As result some textures will lose quality slightly due to Texture stretch but from testing i can confirm it dosent look bad unless u stick a regular sized object next to it and push your face right up against it. I am looking for anybody who can 3D model and texture though its not that important. I can restat and rename weapons without a model change but just for the more rare and powerful weapons. In terms of what to expect: 1. Stormwind City, Elwynn Forest and Maybe Westfall basic worldspaces.2. Cluttering those areas above.3. Navmeshing and Populating the areas4. Quests5. LOD (maybe if bethesda gets their act together) Above is the first projected area i will be focusing on. Once this is complete i will post it up for human characters to start their epic adventure. You can always have multiple saves so you can go back to skyrim on another character and when i update or add new human areas you can update your version and continue that WOW save. I will post the mod on the Nexus sites and maybe the workshop so keep your eyes open. It will either be under my name or DatFaceSoldier which is my other Nexus account that I use.My steam name is DatFaceSoldier, do not be afraid to add me and ask questions. Im more than happy to awnser them. Cheers for reading, (especially if you made it this far) Edited March 5, 2012 by zZzLABoneyardzZz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natula123 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sounds good :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnie Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Good luck! I'm pretty sure Blizzard is going to have a huge problem with this!:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan0078 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sounds really great! Can you post some beta pictures If you have time? I enjoyed WoW's world and It would be cool to see it rendered with a newer game engine instead of the 8 year old one it has now. Keep up the good work!

TheRealAedh Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I think that will be awesome. Although I wouldn't recommend uploading it to nexus unless you are recreating everything from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zZzLABoneyardzZz Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Wassup, Thanks all of you for the constructive criticism, firstly in awnseer to Sunnie, i doubt blizzard will have a problem, im not ripping off anything from their game and even if i was, it dosent matter because its not like im asking for money. I will be posting beta Pictures once ive made a considerable amount of the mod though. In terms of TheRealAedh's comment, I dont quite understand what you mean by from scratch. I am Making the game world using the assets from Skyrim, and if any DLC's come out, i will use parts of those too. I would make most of the stuff myself in Nifscoppe. but i dont have any 3D modelling programs nor do i want to go through the painstaking process of making them though if anyone would like to help me with that it would be very much appreciated and they would have their name credited on the mod page. Things i need doing from somebody really are the Statues at the entrance to stormwind. At the moment im using a Massive ysgrammor statue, a huge statue of a mage a massive statue of Talos a statue of Diabella and a statue of Mara. These arent exactly the great heroes that are in WOW which is why id appreciate someone making these. If anyone wants a more dedicaed role then please speak to me personally. Because with a decent Nifmodeller i could make this mod 10000X better. remember you will be handsomeley credited. dont hold back guys. (and if its because its Wow and your embarrased well please dont be. I am not embarrased that i like the game, its an awsome game and its a shame that its so heavily steryotyped. Show them what we can do) Thanks again Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealAedh Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Oh, I see. I had the impression you were using assets from WoW, but since you are not nevermind. I still think that this is an awesome idea. I'd like more WoW in my Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donker316 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I created Utgarde Keep from WoW-Northrend area (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=11012). I like your idea and if you want to use my dungeon when it's completed feel free. It has all the areas from the real Utgarde Keep, but I or you would have to make a new exterior of course. Look forward to seeing your mod released, Keep up the good work Edited March 15, 2012 by donker316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanakoMagojiro Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 what kind of modding experience do you have to pull off something like this? Do you have a team in mind? do you have the necessary modelling/texturing knowledge to create all the equipment you're going to need? do you realise you're talking about one person recreating a game that's bigger than skyrim? Your logic for blizzard not having a problem is rather patchy.. you're planning to use their locations, and i'm guessing some copyrighted equipment, characters, etc. It won't be a problem if the mod is so small that hardly anyone knows about it though, but if it becomes popular, it becomes a problem but i guess my biggest question is, why? WoW already exists, and is active/still in development/etc. Why would anyone who wants to play wow, not go and play wow, instead of playing a mod of another game, about it.

Galacticat42 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Always thought this was a neat image, perhaps it could come in use to you. :thumbsup: http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/large-video-game-worlds2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
