Old Skelly/Wolf models

Yah, I'd like to be able to turn on the new model wolf and keep the old model skelly. Is this possible?
 
It was a great idea to get the old models back, much more fun in the game.

But there is at least one problem and I don't know how important it will be.
In Obsidian Shard Mountains I figured out that I can - in Skelly form - look through the entire mountain in the HG are and even target through it when I was sitting.
You can't cast in that situation but that could still be used for example KSing or maybe a gnome in Skelly Form is small enough to use this.
Just wanted to mention this, dunno if there is a fix or need of a fix for it.
 
I only want the new models so that wolves can sit down. As a druid in wolf form theres no visible way to tell when youre sitting
Also my beastlords pet doesnt look manly enough kthx
 
I'd also like to get the previous (new) models back...should we just put back the .txc files to our EQ directory (I found skt_chr.wld.txc that could be one of these) ?
I know it's no more the official stance, but I don't understand exactly why the choice wouldn't be given...stability issue ?
 
There must be a way to put them back :-( The server only sends a message saying 'this beastie is a skellington', it doesn't pass through the exact dimensions of the skellington (otherwise it would takes years!). Same with wolves. So it should be a simple thing to trick the client into loading one model instead of another. Which also means you should be able to trick it to load the decent skellington, but keep the decent wolf.

Unless of course someone can scale down the wolf... :-D

Anyone got any ideas? I think it's just a case of changing file names, much like changing some of the thunder sounds to be empty files - you then don't hear thunder.
 
I haven't patched since the new models went in, so if anyone could tell me what files will replace the models for both skeletons and wolves, I'll be able to patch and share them with others.

Did you just admit to breaking the rules?
 
Or you can patch to Live and backup these 2 files before patching to SoD:

gequip5.s3d
global6_chr.s3d

Those are the 2 that the original old model patch replaced.

Rule n.4 said:
The patcher is there for your safety
Wany says, "Always patch or be bannificated". Trust us, don't cross him, he's a bit unstable.

Yeah, I did, I didn't even recall that rule (it's been a long time since I joined :censored:, I mean, SoD) :(.

But I did it unknowingly (which is not an excuse). I'll read again and patch "for my own safety". Btw, keeping old textures is still against the rules?


Btw, thanks Thorodel :).
 
Of those which is the wolf and which is the skelle? Oh and if someone would be so good as to host the wolf file I'd love em forever. Patching to live takes an abosulte age on my laptop><

I can once it's stated that it's not against the rules.
 
Weeell...I'm not 100% on this but I do kinda remember it being said that if we wanted to use the new models we would have to take it into our own hands in a similar way to those who wanted to use the old models. *shrug* Thanks alot for offering to host it <3
 
Hell yeah, I'd do anything to get my hands on the old skelly models. Just not the wolf, unless there's no other way.
 
i want the new wolf model to but the skelly's rock hard. The new wolf may be huge but it doesnt take much mana for me to cast shrink on it =p

Just need to figure out how to get it back. =(
 
Wiz, are we allowed to change original global6_chr.s3d back to original to get our Beast Pet back please ?

Wouldnt mind to shrink my pet everytime i zone.

TIA !!
