Hi !
I already posted a previous version of the patch here then deleted it to rework the whole mod. I think it's now "good enough" to be released again and I hope you and all 1.12 guys out here will 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 WILL BE USED AS PROOF OF YOUR STUPIDITY**

Tools used :

* My own converter (LK=>Classic)
* 010 Editor with M2&Skin templates
* Ladik's MPQ Editor
* GIMP&Blender
## Installation :
### Standard 1.12.1 server
1. Download the Standard version.
2. Rename in patch-X.MPQ (X have to be a number).
3. Place it in your Data folder.
### Nostalrius 1.12.1 server
1. **BACKUP THE PATCH-2.MPQ FILE OF YOUR WOW INSTALLATION**
Note : don't put your backup file in the Data folder, put it somewhere else or you'll be disconnected.
2. **I'M SERIOUS, BACKUP THE PATCH-2.MPQ FILE OF YOUR WOW INSTALLATION**
3. Download the Nostalrius version, enUK or enUS depending on your client.
Note : you can check which version you're using at the bottom of your login screen. The version downloaded from their site is the enUK one. If you choose wrong don't worry, you'll just get an error message saying your files are corrupt.
4. Make sure the file is named patch-2.MPQ.
5. Place it in your Data folder. Override the existing patch-2.MPQ

By the way is it possible to change spells animation or sounds to modern versions?

Sounds yeah, anytime. I just don't have the track in mind of every changes that happened in 10 years, especially with sounds.
Spells, hmm, most spells use particles (like glowing effects) or ribbons and I haven't coded them in my converter yet. It takes some time and I don't have much. But I try to progress as fast as I can !

Thanks for your response. If you can please import as many HD textues to your MPQ as you can. HD textures for ground, items, mobs and walls it is most visible part of game. It makes 1.12.1 looks like modern game.
