Client Mods

The 1.12 client is moddable by adding packed files of data (.mpq files) for your TWoW client to load, somewhat similar to addons, but way more powerful.

Mods are unsupported by the Turtle WoW Staff! You must remember how to uninstall and reinstall these mods, in case they are the cause of any problems you experience! Messing with your Data/ folder can interfere with gameplay and cripple your client, if you are not careful.

Installation
To install a client mod, download the .mpq file, and drag it into. To uninstall a mod, just delete the mpq.

Sometimes two mods share the same name and conflict. That is okay, you can rename these mods to different patch letters and numbers. The client loads the mods in order, starting with patch-1.mpq, ending in patch-z.mpq. Turtle WoW uses the early numbers for its own client mods that allow the client to function, so avoid using numbers and early letters, and keep to using later letters first.

Turtle HD
This mod backports many character models and textures, as well as environment textures, from Legion and later WoW versions, to Turtle's vanilla client.

Downloads and more info are found on the forum post: https://forum.turtle-wow.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=2827

As with many, this is quite a hefty mod that changes quite a lot of assets, so be sure to check the forums post and if running into issues, perhaps contact the author.

Darker Nights
While the brightness of night time in 2006 wow is rather dark compared to modern wow, this mod aims to darken things down significantly for a much more immersive feel. Duskwood is even darker than the rest, making Darkshire actually true to its name!

This version of Dark Nights has been modified to work better under Turtle WoW, download it here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/466627627554439178/825522807117971456/patch-Z.mpq

Important: Keep this mod loading last by keeping it named patch-z.mpq.

WotLK Feral Forms
This backports the WotLK model for both Night Elf and Tauren Druids' bear and cat forms.
