Oof. It's taking a while. Getting closer to fixing things up, though. But in the meantime, doing some other fixes I've been meaning to get done. Namely, some updates to Ysera's textures. There's already a variety of Ysera colors, but they were done rather quickly and always needed a bit of work. I've been getting a start on those. Here's a look at one of those: ice blue Ysera. The inspiration has been the various icy herbs throughout the expansions, as plants that thrive even in frigid conditions. The effects on her wings, neck, and tail are white snow flurries. And since there's another blue Ysera still to do, there will be room for a midnight blue themed toward stars and arcane magic. Thank y'all for your patience and if you don't mind a little bit of texture weirdness, take a look at the patch through this link here. This includes the netherwing drakes and more. (ice blue Ysera isn't in this one, sorry, not quite done yet!) If you'd prefer to wait, no worries. Edit: link deleted, check original post for updated link. Version 14 is now fully out.

Unfortunately, using a patch to make one thing better will make other things worse. This patch fixes dragon objects that end up broken by dragon patches. (my own included!) Objects like Dragonmaw trophies, the wall-mounted dragon head, Twilight butchered dragons, and dragons hanging from the ceiling in Blackwing Descent are all fixed by this patch, which changes those objects to use textures in this patch instead of from the game itself. It introduces versions of those objects whose textures are assigned to custom IDs, therefore avoiding conflicts with patches and existing textures altogether.

Coming soon: Nether Drakes. I'm not the best modeler (in fact, I'm not a modeler oh god what am I doing), but I did my very best to recreate the facial profile of the netherwing drake. That sharky nose is too iconic. Here's a preview pic, along with a texture being worked on by Kass. Keep in mind the companion drake texture is a big pain to work on, as the various parts of it are in completely different places on its texture sheet, making it a pain to fix up. And yep, they use the shark-like tail.

This patch replaces the Talbuk mounts from Burning Crusade (both epic and standard, sorry : /) with the epic Dracthyr mounts from Dragonflight. This patch includes one extra color, as there was one more color of talbuk to cover and I liked the idea of a silver vorquin.

Oh my god yes I wish I could figure out the hover. I think that may be a problem with the Guardian of Ancient Kings' animations, though. I know it has those animations but I haven't been able to get it to do them in game.

Something I started a long while back is now finally (mostly) complete. This patch replaces the faces for the original three skin tones for Nightborne males with... less angry-looking faces. Can't change the expressions completely, but the textures are edited.

The dark blue, greenish blue, and whitish blue in the gif are edited in this patch.

So one of my characters ended up with a white tiger fur cloak. Nice! But none exist in game. Lame. I made one instead. This replaces the texture for cape_leather_raiddruid_s_01_brown, and affects nearly all variants of that particular color. (exceptions: short and medium) Other colors remain unaffected as they use different textures.

I made a small edit to the lilies in my version of the patch. Maybe others would like it? I didn't like how straight red they were, so I gave them a bit more color and detail. To use this, open the folder for the patch and place this file in it to replace the existing file. cape_special_herbalism_b_01_4547402.blp

This patch changes the typical arrow that most bows use into the arrows used by the Night Elf Warfronts bows. Nearly all bows besides a select few use the default arrows from Vanilla WoW. This replaces those old arrows. This patch works on all races and genders, as this asset is not tied to either of those.

"It's not a dragon patch without dragon eggs!" Agreed, but as much as possible, I try to avoid conflicts with other patches. So for anyone who doesn't already use a patch for objects from Dragonflight, here's a patch for dragon eggs. It can't be run at the same time as Dragonheart Objects, but it's meant to be compatible, meaning they both replace the same things with the same things. Download the patch here and expand directly into the patches folder at: Epsilon8300\_retail_\Patches UPDATE: This patch is now included in DragonmashYardsale! If you just want the eggs, just use the eggs! If you want to use the Yardsale, you don't need this one! Also we found a better object for the bronze egg to replace. It's... A bronze dragon egg! Woo! https://drive.google.com/file/d/14-67DlPvOGMabJCm86kKZofSMcskuAC-/view?usp=share_link

Be warned: this mount is very cute.

This patch replaces the parachute backpack with the herbalist backpack from Dragonflight. There are two different versions of this spell that I know of: aura 136133 and aura 251403. However, there are likely more spells that use this object. If you find them, please comment!

This patch adds Dragonflight's ultra cute bunnies! These replace the rabbitgold2.m2 and wolpertinger.m2, leaving other bunnies as they are. (rabbitgold2.m2 has a silver variant!)

UPDATE: This patch has gotten so big that it's been divided up into smaller patches! I've linked the dragon patch folder instead of any individual patch! Load these individual patches with the launcher! This will allow users with lower-end PCs to pick and choose which parts of the patch they want to use! Refer to a document inside the linked folder to see what's in each patch! This patch adds a TON of dragons to the game, replacing classic dragons, drakes, and dragonspawn. Classic drakonid are not affected by this patch, since the changes I want to make don't work if using the same model. Attempts have been made to make this mod compatible with other dragon mods, but unfortunately some things just aren't going to match up. Many apologies! Keep in mind this patch is not designed to keep up with everything from Dragonflight! Just really enjoying the new dragon models. HOWEVER THIS DOES INCLUDE ALL ASPECTS! Merithra and Ebyssian are here! Morph mall: .ph en 82098, talk to NetherStray npc for teleport All models were downported by me. All textures are either original Blizzard textures or recolors by myself, Kass, Luna, and others who have granted permission for their use. This patch includes: Regular dragons (roughly 4 varieties of models with different horns, spikes, and beards) Aspect dragons (at least one color per flight, such as blue Ysera and more) Drakes (3 model varieties, several texture variants to match their original colors as well as 6 colors of gladiator drakes in heavy armor) Whelps (all flight colors including Twilight, Nightmare, and Infinite) Dragonspawn, including differences between regular flights and twilights. (Some dragonspawn had to be placed on non-dragonspawn models since they didn't exist before, like the bronze caster) Drakonid, both armored and caster varieties Crystal dragons (recolors designed to match the nether drakes they replace) Five Alerion textures used with permission (sakura Red, wood Green, runed Blue, tattooed Bronze, and lava Black) New Wrathion drake as well as an azure variant Personal morphs for particular characters, added when possible (such as Azerite Ul'Croixion, Malferrian, and Neraltria) Dragons that had particularly unique forms, such as Murozond, Alexstrasza, and Tarecgosa, have been left alone. Newer versions are in the patch too, though. These patches have been a lot of work done by a lot of people! Hope you enjoy and keep in mind the screenshots are just a small sample!

This patch replaces the avengingangel.m2 (the guardian of ancient kings, the paladin spell) with a male armored Kyrian! The model is not normally transparent and can be achieved with spells, such as Transparency 25% (id 37801) and extra glow with spells like Simulated Life (232365). This model can do most of the Kyrian animations, though hasn't been able to do the very newest ones. (sorry, no chokehold carry for this guy) It also has trouble with the same things Val'kyr have trouble with, like... hovering. Not sure on that one, comment if you know how to fix that.

Very cool! Nice work!

This patch replaces the texture for the dappled brown horse (an unfinished texture for the updated horses) with a finished and fixed version. Special thanks to Kass for her help with the texture work! Unfortunately this horse was never given any saddled versions, but all three versions of the regular horse itself (long mane, short mane, and cropped mane) are fixed up.
