Yes. It doesn't work. Argh! Okay, to get this to work nice, once again, snag the latest version, which will be the zip file with the highest number in it. (So, as of this writing, the latest version is now wownudf2.zip, in contrast to wownudfm.zip which doesn't have any number in it at all.)

I had things working on my system just fine, but I uploaded a batch file that didn't work at all. It seems to have been a cross-breed between an older version and a newer version. I don't know how this happened. After fixing the error in the version you had, I looked for others and saw another couple. I then deleted all my patches, downloaded the file from the website, and things are working now. So, try again with the latest version. I'm sorry to have wasted somebody's time with the previous version posted.



Only reason that it didn't work for you is that you tried to simply run the file, instead of analyzing it and fixing any problems with it. :)

This is a request to all those who have posted skins please post newer versions? So far, all of the skins I've seen modify the "underwear" texture. If people want to see behind the underwear, they can now do so by copying 128Clear.blp (made from the 128Clear.tga file I placed in my patch and the newer TGA to BLP2 converter that works well), and then the base will show up. Please release the skins where the actual base texture is modified, as then the artwork can be enjoyed by people who wish to use other custom outfits (whether that be from my patch or other people's patches that may made other changes).

I haven't made these modifications to other people's skins, nor made my own patch more up to date (by copying 128Clear.blp ontop of the "underwear" skins for people), and furthermore I recommend that others don't bother to release a package until we have some of these older skins updated to the more up-to-date method that will not only work better with my patch but also other changes that others would make. Sure, I or others could go through and change all the skins others have released, but it looks to be largely a copy/paste type of operation, so, in order to require less of a single person to do all the skins, it'd be nice if authors would just update their own individual works.

Thanks in advance to any who do this. (It'd be nice if some do!)

i want your succubus skin snake

That would be my video, i thought it would be funny to use the nude patches that first came out, needless to say no female nipples were there yet. All the credit goes to the people who made the patch, gonna make another one soon, that dosen't suck so bad.

Thanks for the info, I updated my "big long post of doom"

I apologize for misplaced nipples, Anara...perhaps if we had a reference image? ;)

Huh? What's a nipple?


By the way, since the textures files for the body areas are in different sizes, I have found that it works best to have the blank texture files sized the same as the originals. So for optimal performance here is the list of dimensions for each texture.

base skins (ie HumanFemaleSkin00_00.blp) 256 x 256
NakedPelvisSkins & NakedTorsoSkins 128 x 64
TorsoUpperTexture, ArmLowerTexture, ArmUpperTexture, LegLowerTexture, LegUpperTexture 128 x 64
HandTexture, FootTexture, TorsoLowerTexture 128 x 32

Hope it helps

The main thing is, converting the tga into blp, there is very little difference in the size of the file at different pixel sizes. The actual disk reading shouldn't make any noticeable difference either way, but I've noticed quite a few graphical anomalies with the new textures, which the correct texture dimensions seem to reduce. I haven't done thorough testing, but it seems like it to me.

If you want a better quality movie, use the mirrors, and tell your freinds.

Responses to multiple people:



Well, I've managed to make a transparent TGA file work quite nicely in WoW. I've also managed to change the loading screens. I've also had the BLP's it created fail terribly, but those were when dealing with other TGA files. It seems to work just fine on TGA images created/converted in Paint Shop Pro 7 (that's what I had already downloaded so that's what I installed, even though version 10 is out) and saved in 24-bit Uncompressed format with an Alpha Channel added (which I believe means it ends up being a 32-bit TGA). And some, but not all, other TGA files.



I'm guessing that the converter I'm calling "new" is newer than the older converter on Vjeux (of Cosmos)'s page. Since they don't have any version numbers, I just decided to call this the new version.



Which textures?



Well, already I ended up making 3 releases, when I should have only needed one. Maybe 1x1 would work perfectly, but at the time I was trying to avoid resizing as much as possible, until I had a working version, as I suspected (as WizardCat apparently also did) that resizing might have been at least part of the cause of the problems that were in fact actually being caused by the usage of an older file format. Now that I have things working, I or others may improve things, such as testing 1x1 textures and using smaller files if possible.



How so? This I suspected at one point, but I have since found that fact is the 128Clear.Blp properly converted from the 128Clear.TGA I created works just fine.



Umm... much of the female clothing. Not all. I decided to leave the males alone, and so when a female clothing looks the same as a male clothing, it doesn't become transparent. Still, there's a lot of the textures that are changed... over 1,700 textures, including 646 chest textures, so I'd say at least that many pieces of equipment are affected (more if some equipment uses the same textures as other equipment). The end result is that my client renders the avatars of many (most females, but not every single one) other players in a revealing manner. Example graphic which was just made on the spot, without any pre-planning or asking women to stand in a certain spot or anything like that.

This is why I like my patch: It works. This is also why I am hoping people will update the older skins, so that the female beauty will be visible not only on yourself and a few, if any, females that might happen to be undressed at the moment, but instead it works on virtually all of them (to become at least topless). Widespread public female nudity of the general virtual population.

I considered just making this into a *.MPQ file that you could just copy into the WOW\DATA directory, and installation would be that simple. However, the *.MPQ file, or all of the files individually, would be over 14MB. As is, I can distribute something less than 11KB so far. So far, I've addressed the one complaint that the installation was too hard, by making the batch file easier to use. I haven't heard any further complaints since my last release. Then again, I haven't heard anybody say anything good about it either.

Any reason you haven't tested it yet? (Are people avoiding the release just because of the way I'm distributing the patch, which lets me distribute the file in a way that makes the download under 1/1000th of the size of a pre-built MPQ?)

I've tried it and it's definitely working a lot better now, though half the females seem to have tabards that make the patch ineffective. Also, it might be my computer ******** up, leaking memory or something, but I'm sometimes getting weird rainbow colored lines over the skin texture. It doesn't happen consistently though (I can switch between two classes on the character create screen and it might move or not even come back) so I'm guessing it's probably my system's problem. Probably about the best job you can do without enabling weird stuff to happen anyway, though it might be amusing to have a separate version that removes any clothing that isn't a robe (because robe-flesh is disturbing) from everyone.

I think I got the succubus about right, finally. I'll e-mail it and my human and elf nude skins to whoever wants them, just drop a line at shady_snake74@yahoo.com
