I had a while ago the idea of porting some Cataclysm m2s in WoW Classic. I first converted the models with tools found on Modcraft and fixed little things like textures to fit the 1.12 lighting system. A year ago I started my own tool to convert M2 models in Java, allowing me to go further in the process. Now the models come from all extensions, even from Legion Beta. I hope you'll enjoy it ;)
WARNING : THIS MOD IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH WORLD OF WARCRAFT 1.12.1. ANY ATTEMPT TO USE IT ON AN OTHER VERSION WILL RESULT IN CRASHES AND SHALL BE USED AS PROOF OF YOUR STUPIDITY WARNING 2: THERE MAY BE INCOMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER MODS OVERRIDING THE SAME DBC FILES. I DON'T CARE.
