EDIT: NOW WORKS ON PATCH 5.3!
Hello, I've made some of the shapeshift skins from the Druids of Azeroth pack made by ANDRIGE available for live servers patch 5.2! Originally released somewhere in TBC till mostly version 3.x, it was unavailable to work for a long time but with some simple edits I was able to get it work on live. Do mind that while it's against the EULA, and thus not allowed, Blizzard can't detect if your actually using it, and thus perfectly safe to use.
Currently working on Night Elves & Tauren (as was originally only for these races). Worgen & Troll NOT confirmed or tested, but not likely to work.
Forms that work: Cat form (need to change hair color till you find it!). Tree of Life (NEEDS GLYPH!). Cheetah form (NEEDS GLYPH!). Moonkin presumely, hard to notice. Swift Flightform possibly works, not tested.
Bear form does NOT work for some reason.
Remember all credit goes to Andrige for making these skins, please check the link above for the original topic.
Required files to download:
- Druids of Azeroth pack: http://www.andrige.com/wow/doa/Druid...ck_Archive.rar
- Patch sig-md5 Protection Remover (EITHER 32bit or 64bit version!):
See:http://tinyurl.com/wow-exe-info-dl << Link will redirect you to the latest version!
How To Install:
- First off all download every file, for the patch protection remover pick either 32bit or 64bit version based on what WoW version you use. (if unsure pick 32bit)
- Extract that ZIP file of the Patch Protection Remover and do as the readme in it says, extract it in your World of Warcraft folder and replace the old Wow.exe (DO BACKUP IT!)
- Now the protection will work, next you must unpack the Druids of Azeroth pack ZIP.
- In it extract the "Druids_of_Azeroth_-_New_Shapeshift_Skins_06-03-08" file. This is the last updated version (OLDER ONES DONT ALWAYS WORK!).
- In it go to the "Standard" map, and select + copy the following files:
* CAT&BEAR&NESWIFTpatch-6.MPQ ## For the CAT, BEAR(wont work tho) and FLIGHTFORM skins
* MOONKINpatch-5.MPQ ## For moonkin form, not sure if this works or just barely noticable.
NIGHT ELVES USE:
* NIGHTELFCHEETAHpatch-7.MPQ ## For Cheetah NIGHT ELF ONLY!
* NIGHTELFTREEpatch-4.MPQ ## For ToL NIGHT ELF ONLY!
TAUREN USE:
* TAURENCHEETAHpatch-7.MPQ ## For Cheetah TAUREN ONLY!
* TAURENTREEpatch-4.MPQ ## For ToL TAUREN ONLY!
- If you want both night elf and tauren forms just copy those all.
- Then goto your World of Warcraft MAP and go to this directory: Data/enGB (or anything else like enUS, etc).
- PASTE all the skins you copied earlier and prepare to rename everything in this style:
"wow-update-enGB-20000.MPQ" for the first skin file.
then the next file will be "wow-update-enGB-20001.MPQ" and so forth. The number "20000" is just so that you have a high patch number that wont be introduced yet, if you want you can name it 30000 or higher. Do keep this in mind with every official patch.
- If you added everything then the new 6 files in Data/enGB should look like this:
wow-update-enGB-20000.MPQ
wow-update-enGB-20001.MPQ
wow-update-enGB-20003.MPQ
wow-update-enGB-20004.MPQ
wow-update-enGB-20005.MPQ
Do remember that the file extention should be in capital letters (e.g. "MPQ" and not "mpq").
- Everything is ready and done! Start up wow and test it out. Grats!
For experimenting you could check out the other forms Andrige put in that pack, like "TAURENFURBOLGpatch-5", "TREEOFCHRISTMASpatch-4", etc.
If you have any problems please feel free to comment here.

Quote: I found a bug with "TAURENTREEpatch-4.MPQ" and it's odd considering it's file size is also alot bigger then the night elf equivalent (800kb instead of 62kb). If you use the tauren ToL model edit then you will not see a model ingame (just never showing) for both night elf and tauren, so do not use this file.

Yea easily, you just have to figure out exactly how the older way of working with these files is. Maybe even with an older Patch sig-md5 Protection Remover for 3.3.5, but you'll have to search around. I dont remember exactly how it was done back then

Not sure how it would work with the new artifact changing your default forms though, haven't tested it on a high level druid
