Remember, patience is a virtue!  Thanks again everyone!

 
WoW Model Viewer Update
Sunday, 27 January 2008

WoW Model Viewer 0.5.09c

Another minor update to the WoW Model Viewer can be downloaded from here.

Includes a few bug fixes in relation to particle render problems, though some particles are still not 'facing' the right direction.

Also changed the whole MPQ loading stuff.  The end-user no longer needs to do anything as long as WoW is installed correctly, alternatively if WoW cannot be found in the registry it will ask for the \Data\ directory where all the MPQ files are stored.  It will automatically sort, order, and load the MPQ files into the correct order.   This should reduce a lot of the forum posts in relation to the "Can't find xyz items from the latest patch".

You can still include custom MPQ archives,  just means you need to throw them into your WoW Data directory. 

Also in regards to the source,  it will be released when I stop making 'little' fixes and when I have time. 

Please note that the GUI for MPQ files is still there, however it has no effect or use.  So please ignore it.  At a later date the GUI will also be removed.


 
 
WoW PaperIdol
Friday, 18 January 2008

signatureG'day Everyone,

Just like to bring to everyone's attention a new service / program which is currently dubbed the "WoW PaperIdol".  What it basically does is connects to the armoury website,  where it retrieves the data on your character and equipment.  It then automatically, on the server, renders your character and spits the image back for use as a "3D Signature" that should update as your character does.  You can read more about the announcement here and for specific info on how to get started using this service right over here. 

I've been in correspondence with yaz0r on and off for the past year or more, and will proudly vouch for him and the work that he has put in.  Its currently in public testing stage (I last tested it myself personally about 7 months back),  so if you have any problems or any suggestions,  feel free to post on their forums and let them know!

Enjoy!

2 Winner's will be selected for each category, 1 from US realms, and 1 from EU realms.  Winners will be decided upon by Hellfire, Hewit and myself in the good ol' democratic way of voting on which entries we like best.

Competition official start date is 16th January, 2008 and will close on the 3rd February, 2008. 
Any work that has been plagiarised will not be accepted.
