3.3.5 HD Upscaled Remaster [NO WOD / LEGION MODELS]

[dubbyz47]

Heres a bunch of files and patches I found online to add to the 3.3.5 WOTLK client to make it look and run as good as possible
without changing any of the models because I hate the new WOD/Legion models...
Only the textures are upscaled on the characters and npc's, the models are still exactly the same as Vanilla-Wrath!

Here are some pictures of how it looks like in a couple different zones:

Things changed:

- All clothes & armor textures upsclaled to 2x (patch-6.MPQ)

- Login screen changed to mimic the Vanilla WoW one instead of wrath (Patch-A.MPQ)
(TBC PATCH INCLUDED IN THE ZIP FILE JUST EXTRACT IT TO THE DATA FOLDER AND DELETE THE PATCH-A.MPQ)

- Spell visuals from latest expansions (Patch-C.MPQ)

- Replaced all music with Cata music (Patch-D.MPQ)

- Vanilla & TBC dungeon maps (Patch-F.MPQ)

- Replaced all trees with better ones (Patch-H.MPQ)

- World textues upscaled to 2x (Patch-I.MPQ)

- Better battleground textures (Patch-J.MPQ)

- Inico's blood mod (Patch-K.MPQ)

- Vanilla NPC textures 2x (Patch-L.MPQ)

- Clear View 2: See much further, fog pushed further back (Patch-M.MPQ)

- Sunlight Alpha Texture (Patch-S.MPQ)

- Restored the roosting models next to the flight masters back to the originals (Patch-Z.MPQ)

- HD water from Cata (Inside different folder! Data/enUS patch-enUS-W.MPQ)

- Upscaled spell / item icons (Remove the Icons folder inside Interface folder if you don't like them.)

I may have accidentally mixed some up, but I think I have most of them right,
I did my best to remember which patch does what but its hard to keep track with this many patches lol...
You can always move one out of the folder and reboot the game to see what each patch does
(except for the blizzard official patches...)


None of these Model Edits nor files are mine except for the Reshade preset and Patch-Z.MPQ...

All credits go to vvladoon, Leeviathan, Inico, Nicolas, Hordys8096, junklont, OdysseyMods for all of these files and patches!
(and anyone else I forgot or don't know about, sorry!)

Tutorial:
Its best to do this on a clean install or one you havent added any patches/modifications to,

(You might have to run the game once if you have a fresh install before you do all this, so some folders and the config file appear)

Step 1:
Check your client's region, inside the Data folder in your WoW install there should be a folder like "enUS" or "enGB" etc...

If you have enUS you can skip this first step.

If it has another region (for example "enGB") then go inside my ZIP file you downloaded (or folder if already extracted)
And open up the Data folder and rename the "enUS" folder to your own client's region folder...

Step 2:
Just extract or copy all of the folders & files from the ZIP file to your main WoW folder and choose combine folder if it asks you.

Step 3:
Install the latest version of "Large Adress Aware" and put it in your main WoW folder and open it up,
Select your WoW.exe and tick the box that says allow more than 2GB memory, hit save.

Step 4:
Download the latest version of Reshade from their website,
Fire it up and select your WoW.exe, next window select DXD9,
Next window after that select my "Bhop Reshade Preset" that you just extracted into your main WoW folder.

Step 5:
Inside your WoW folder make a new folder called "scripts"

Move all of the ReShade folders and files listed below inside of it:
reshade-shaders
Bhop ReShade Preset.ini
d3d9.dll
ReShade.fx
ReShade.ini
ReShade.log

and any other files with the name Reshade...

Go inside the new "scripts" folder and rename the "d3d9.dll" file to "d3d9.asi"
(you might have to enable view file extension)

Step 6:
Download this ZIP folder and extract all of the files into your main WoW folder:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e5A...ew?usp=sharing

Open up the dxvk.conf file you just extracted with notepad, and change the value behind
"d3d9.maxAvailableMemory" to your own graphics card's Vram...

Step 7:
Open up the file "Config.wtf" inside your "WTF" folder, and add these four lines to it:

SET M2Faster "3"
SET gxTextureCacheSize "512"
SET objectFade "0"
SET screenshotQuality "10"

And then finally boot up your game and make these three macros and use them:

/console environmentDetail 150
/console farclip 777
/console ffxnetherworld 1
/console ffxspecial 1
/console groundEffectDensity 192
/console groundEffectDist 140
/console groundEffectFade 1000
/console gxmultiesample 8
/console horizonFarclipScale 6

/console particleDensity 10
/console reflectionMode 3
/console shadowmode 3
/console shadowtexturesize 2048
/console skycloudlod 3
/console spellEffectLevel 200
/console ssao 2
/console terrainMipLevel 0
/console textureFilteringMode 5

/console violencelevel 5
/console waterDetail 3
/console weatherDensity 3

And obviously max out your graphics settings in game!

Enjoy!

If you would like to tweak the Reshade settings hit the "Home" button on your keyboard in game.

Messed up my latency :(

It crashed in raid sometimes for me but it hasn't crashed or caused issues once since i got a new cpu, motherboard and ssd, and installed fresh windows 10 on it.
Maybe its time for an upgrade for you... :)

Looks fantastic! I will try this myself later and revert back in this thread.

( I also hate the "new" models ) So BIG thanks for this!

[Jedborg]

It looks good, allthough step 5 doesn't make sense to me.

When doing this step, you kinda disable the reshader fully, it's not loading up while moving all the files to "scripts"

Awesome patch, i like it, thanks.

Step 5 is usseles.

Whit reshader my client crashes sometimes. Whitout reshader works fine.

Np, might need an upgrade like I said before my client stopped crashing completely when I upgraded my computer and did a fresh install of windows.

[Stampley]

Does this work with Windows 11?

Hey @dubbyz47, the following patch MPQs are missing listfiles, please fix.

patch-C.MPQ
patch-I.MPQ
patch-J.MPQ
patch-enUS-W.MPQ

It's important for modders who are integrating this into their customizations. BTW your HD upscale/remaster is super awesome, makes the game look so much better than OG :)
