Kawafwen 1 Posted January 22 (edited) 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. Morph mall: .ph en 101627, .ph tele morph 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) Spoiler Aspect dragons (at least one color per flight, such as blue Ysera and more) Spoiler Drakes (3 model varieties, several texture variants to match their original colors as well as 6 colors of gladiator drakes in heavy armor) Spoiler Whelps (all flight colors including Twilight, Nightmare, and Infinite) Spoiler Dragonspawn, including differences between regular flights and twilights (strictly to match their original colors... sorry, bronze dragonspawn, but blizz never made a model for you :< ) Spoiler Drakonid, both armored and caster varieties Spoiler Crystal dragons (recolors designed to match the nether drakes they replace) Spoiler Five Alerion textures used with permission (sakura Red, wood Green, runed Blue, tattooed Bronze, and lava Black) Spoiler New Wrathion drake as well as an azure variant Spoiler Personal morphs for particular characters, added when possible (such as Azerite Ul'Croixion, Malferrian, and Neraltria) Spoiler Dragons that had particularly unique forms, such as Murozond, Alexstrasza, and Tarecgosa, have been left alone. Newer versions are in the patch too, though. Spoiler This patch has been a lot of work done by a lot of people! Hope you enjoy and as always for this patch, more is on the way! Also keep in mind the screenshots are just a small sample!

Kawafwen 1 Posted January 25 "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.

Kawafwen 1 Posted February 1 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kawafwen 1 Posted February 8 (edited) 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.

Kawafwen 1 Posted February 11 (edited) Version 14 is now out for real this time! I'll simply copy the announcement from Discord for y'all. TheDragonMash version 14! A big update! The Netherwings are here! Spoiler Three drakes use a modified companion drake model to bring back the magic of netherwing drakes! Featuring a special iridescence on their crystalline horns, teeth, and claws, they'll hopefully fill the shark dragon shaped hole in our hearts. And speaking of Netherwings... Nether Drakonid! Spoiler Mysterious nether drakonid have been added! Hooded and rather mysterious, their armor is as striking as their coloration. The Twilights are here! Spoiler Likewise, three dragons use a modified dragon model to bring twilight dragons into higher resolution and newer animations! Their horns have their signature inward bend and their scales have their signature twilight colors, as always! They're also a little more spiky than other dragons along their spines, just for fun and a bit more accuracy. You may notice Ultraxion is still the same... I decided to leave him as-is. His model and texture is pretty cool, why not? Many thanks to Kass for these textures. She's the go-to for everything purple and twilight and I knew she was the one to ask for these textures! Ysera texture updates! Spoiler Three textures for Ysera have gotten overhauled and fixed up: Midnight Blue, Astral Bronze, and Snowy Blue. Still to do: Twilight Jasmine, Sea Green, and Dusky Rose. Hope you like them! They were a lot of work! Oh, and one other big thing... The first of the hybrids! Spoiler We'd like to add hybrids to the patch! The first of these will be the black-blue hybrid, with an excellent texture made by Luna! Not quite a full-on chromatic, but definitely a dragon with some mixed heritage. A very cool concept and a very cool look! OTHER UPDATES: Drake neck frills match the belly colors! It was buggin' us. Some drakes have markings added, such as embers and flames on reds and mana ripples on blues! Spoiler More will be added as inspiration strikes! Some whelps have been reassigned to make more sense. Why was the infinite whelp on the mechanical whelp? No idea. Infinite whelp now replaces the infinite whelp. Perhaps more whelps in the future?... Stay tuned... A couple of new dragon colors: Spoiler cyan blue and dark forest green! ...I don't think I forgot anything? Did I forget anything? Oh man...

Kawafwen 1 Posted February 19 (edited) Version 15 is out: The Little Update Dragonwhelp2.m2, the dragon whelp model introduced in Legion, has been replaced with the Dragonflight version of the whelp model so we can enjoy their cute lil' animations. Note: this doesn't include the Legion nightmare whelp. That one has been left alone due to its neat particle effect. This update adds 12 whelps to the patch! Spoiler This of course also includes storm whelps, which have skins to match! All but one of the whelp skins are thanks to Kass, a big fan of baby-anythings. Luna made the adorable lil' chromatic whelp! Spoiler Also a fun addition: Twilight Nozdormu! Can't get enough fluffy tail dragons. Spoiler A fix also included... Why didn't I notice this before? Apparently Kass told me. I'm dumb, sorry everyone. CRYSTAL DRAGONS ARE SHINY, I'M SO SORRY THEY WEREN'T BEFORE IT TOOK LIKE 2 MINUTES TO FIX AAAAAAAA-- Spoiler Download the patch here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13R_up3Ino9rPmv_9kpZP2j3fN7KbYJ8v/view?usp=share_link When the patch is next updated, the link above will be deleted.

Kawafwen 1 Posted March 4 (edited) Coming soon: More of a 15.5, not quite a 16, but we'll see. Edited March 4 by Kawafwen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kawafwen 1 Posted March 5 (edited) Version 15.5 is out now. Updates include: Finished rugged Twilight drakes Spoiler A chromatic drake (the patch will likely only have one, as chromatics simply aren't very popular, but because of this it was made extra special with a rainbow shine effect) Spoiler Fixed crystal dragon skins Spoiler Fixed mottled drake horns Spoiler Finished rugged albino drake horns Spoiler Enjoy! Delete the old patch and download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TMNuO7A2oWkullYUvpioB4gYsZPdlRpQ/view?usp=share_link I have also made a discord server for those who would like to see updates and give feedback.

Kawafwen 1 Posted March 11 (edited) Version 16 is up! What's new? Aside from me figuring out that updating the title of the thread every time is bad and will break the link every time? >_>" Sorry everyone, won't happen again. So I heard the PTR was updated and there's a patch on its way? Spoiler The flame effect on the hydra is likely temporary, as its flame effect on the mane was not complete yet when it was exported. I'll update it to the proper texture when it's available. Seemed like the right time to bring in hornswogs, since they now have babies. Spoiler Speaking of babies... Spoiler Also, would anyone like some large, screechy wolf birds? Featuring textures edited slightly by me to be a bit washed out, a bit rugged, a bit less primary. These might not be the friendliest drakes. Spoiler Regardless, enjoy the patch. Also, here's White Birch Ysera, a lovely addition made by Luna! Spoiler And as a special treat... Try out the new companion serpent here. I've made a small patch just to try it out. You can find it in the mall with the rest of the models here. ( .ph en 101627 - .ph tele morph ) Spoiler Have fun, everyone! Edited April 24 by Kawafwen removing broken links Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kawafwen 1 Posted March 19 Hey there. It's been a rough day, but after a lot of thinking ahead, I got a great deal done on a patch I've wanted to do ever since downporting Sarkareth's new models. (...I think that's how it's spelled. I'm not playing retail, sorry.) I still have more in mind for things like the more corrupted form and more bronze forms, but here's a Dracthyr patch. Enjoy and do as you please with it. The phase I run isn't in Dragonflight, but for those who are, go wild. As stated in my profile, feel free to make edits and the like and share them among those in your phase or to anyone else you like. Please note that the patch was made by me as a courtesy, but otherwise, no permission is required. You're the ones using these for RP, after all. You want them to look like your characters and you're willing to edit them to make that happen? That's awesome as far as I'm concerned. Download the patch here and keep in mind this will eventually see more updates. Keep an eye on this thread or join the discord for updates. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A8ylwp3w6jKjZkk_8NZXi6tIyit06Q_3/view?usp=share_link If you'd like to learn modding yourself, check out the guide I wrote here. It covers quite a lot of what I know and still has more to go, but is a great way to get started.

Kawafwen 1 Posted April 24 Been a while since I posted a proper update. The discord really is the best place to stay up to date on this, since the forum is not the friendliest for posting update type stuff. Version 18 is out though! Download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aZrf1Sc1vQKTe8q_1OXvSLOj1i0azPz-/view?usp=share_link What's new: A statue dragon, perfect for making statues with custom poses. Or making stone guardians. Spoiler Dragon Wings have been added to the patch. If you have the standalone mod, feel free to turn it off. Keep it if you like! Spoiler Black Cataclysm Nozdormu, along with all the other Cataclysm Nozdormus that have been added since the previous updates. Spoiler Netherwing whelps have been updated to their new models. No fancy animations unfortunately, but they look way better than before. Spoiler The serpent patch has also been updated quite a bit and will stay as-is for a while until the serpents are finalized by Blizz. Their animations are a bit weird until then and there isn't too much sense in making a bunch of models until we finally have them in their final state. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-V5tsC11hVji74-P3rl2PEl_cnFXY79v/view?usp=share_link Dracthyr have been updated to version 2.1. This includes a fiery boi. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_UUDkW41ElVIpFV0pdObkiZGfpkoLPXe/view?usp=share_link Spoiler Sword can be found in DragonMash, purchased from the chest in the mall.

Kawafwen 1 Posted May 4 Hey! Small update to round some stuff up into the patch, as promised. Check the patch folder here for downloads: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PHfTcCQ3HYdn3HjX0lRu4bo75vGLZ82q?usp=share_link 10.1 is out and I assume this means the Slitherdrakes are finalized. After checking out the apparently finalized model, it's kind of disappointing. No further animations were added and the models now have the same plastic shine finish problem that the Highland drakes had when first released in beta. I've waited to add Slitherdrakes to the patch because I was hoping there would be more improvements, but this looks like it's going to be the way it is! Sticking with the beta models, then. Spoiler Slitherdrakes are now in TheDragonMash! If you had SerpentTime, you can toss that one. It's no longer going to be updated. Also, Kazzara's troubles have finally been figured out. The armored version is now in the patch to accompany the unarmored version! Spoiler BeefyDracthyr has been updated with two new models! Spoiler Didn't the wowhead preview for the white one have shadowy claws and horns? Yeah, about that. No idea where that came from. It isn't on the model. <shrug> It's kind of like they just stuck the effects from the purple one on it. Don't know why they'd do that, though. Enjoy and thanks for 3000+ views!
