This file is currently old. Links may be down. Some of this may be due to a change in structure on where Patchin' Batch mirror files are, so some links that are down may be updated and be back up later. Even in cases where the links are broken, it can be useful for the links that may still be up, and as a reference for what sort of saved material to look for.

World of WarCraft Nudity Patchin' Batch

All material on this page is either known to be or assumed to be in the public domain, having been freely obtainable by the general web-surfing public without any known posted restriction when originally released. For concerns about how this does not violate any of Blizzard's terms, see Asked Blizzard.

My apologies

• Links to the threads on Allakhazam are assuming you're using 50 posts per page. Otherwise, the links do not go the correct page, and may go to a non-existant page.
• If any of the banner ads at this address above do not match the tastes of this content, please realize that not all web hosts currently serving as mirros have been carefully reviewed before I had signed up with the host. Per the terms of service of such web hosts, which I intend to honor (which is why sites allowing adult content were used for hosting), I do not plan to make any alterations to the alterations the host makes in displaying the pages. On the other hand, if the banner ads do match this content and you find them interesting, then the advertising-based system that lets this page be hosted on an ad-server is working as designed.

Last update

June 22, 2006-July 4, 2006

In process of being updated a bit: Points to modern Patchin' Batch file location that is stored on modern mirrors, added preferred Allakhazam thread link, referenced Arj files.

January 17, 2006

Added a version of the Patchin' Batch. This page didn't change at all.

November 9, 2005

November 9, 2005 Made the WoW Patchin' Batch link larger. Added information about BINSUB (which replaced _Replace). Moved some things to oldver/ directory.

August 30, 2005

Unknown. Perhaps original released version of this page?

Requests

• Please do not (for the time being) link directly to the files on this site, (including this page) other than the site's main HTML file, for multiple reasons:
  • To honor the request made of this site's webmaster, which is what the creator of the Patchin' Batch would like.
  • The files are subject to be replaced or to be moved. The link may become invalid.
  • At least one web host had is or has been used requires that people are directed to a main page that serves as a "warning" about possible nudity and/or "adult-oriented" (a.k.a. sexual) content. At least one web host that has been considered (and perhaps used) discusses automatic redirection, and so I do not intend to use any of that. I do not wish to have this site be terminated over this issue, so please just link to the main page if you're wishing to link to any of the content. (I do realize that the batch file may link directly to files, and the batch file is therefore subject to be updated if the files move. However, as long as people visit the main page each time they get the batch file, and assuming that most people do not download the files more than once, then there won't be a disproportionate amount of downloads compared to visitors to the main page, which might be forbidden by some web hosts that this page has considered using and/or actually used.)

• More/different mirrors are still being sought after

  .

  Depending on where this page is located, this website and its contents may be deleted after some number of days (14? 30? 60?) of this site not being updated and/or accessed. If anyone wishes to host my release on their site, please let me know, as I am currently seeking more mirrors. In order to contact me, for the time being, I am reviewing the thread on Allakhazam so I'll be alerted of any private message there.

  If anybody knows of a host location I can freely use for this page and/or its files (a public free host, or a private host site/directory made for me), please let me know, as I am interested in additional mirrors. The criteria I require is that it be legal: I do not intend to illegitimately take advantage of those generous enough to provide free services but who reasonably (possibly due to legal, moral, or simply bandwidth concerns) prohibit adult material. Likewise, if a host says that it only allows *.jpg files then I am not planning to mask my Zip files as being *.jpg files. The hosts must be free (for me... I'm not feeling any obligation to pay for the distribution of these files), and also allow files of any type (especially *.zip files), and preferably would be one that will not be quick to delete a site if it becomes inactive, and preferably one that allows files of any size (at least 5MB would be nice).

  I do not intend to violate the rules placed on me by a host. Therefore, from what I can tell, RapidShare.DE is out, despite its apparent stability so far from files linked to from the Allakhazam forum thread.

• Feedback. Particularily, does it work? A lack of feedback discussing problems doesn't tell me if there are simply no problems, or if nobody has checked out the relesae. As far as I know, as of this writing, nobody has appreciated the DBFilesClient\CharSections.dbc modification, since nobody but myself has posted about either my prior release (charsect.exe) or stormfrog's initial writing on CharSections.dbc modification.

Information meant for visitors

• Stuff from myself
  • The World of WarCraft Patchin' Batch (possible alternate local URL) has apparently been the most appreciated of anything I've released related to this. The link in the previous sentence has information on downloading the Patchin' Batch, documentation on what it can do and how to make it work, and either lots and lots and lots more, or absolutely nothing whatsoever more, or something in between. (For those familiar with using a small-download-release of the patch, you can just snag either
    • GoGetExe download
    • or the two main downloading files, without so much "Help" by other files.
      • Data\GoGet.Bat
      • Data\DLTools\WGet)
  • Graphics of Female Patch release 2 in action
    • 4 on Ironforge Bridge
    • AFK in Ironforge
    • On the road East of Goldshire
  • Old releases
  • Asked Blizzard: What happened when I asked Blizzard about patching with content that may deserve a different ESRB rating than what the game offers, and what they had so say about it.
  • Photo Shop Pro tutorial: As stray's post about BLP2 conversion points out, "Load screens and interface graphics are in a different format than the model texture blp2's." This tutorial's instructions are basically how I made fully transparent model texture BLP2's, but my attempts at making some other model texture BLP2's with some transparent areas have not been fully successful.
  • Reference to Google's Lucky Results which I have seen chagned since luck.htm was posted. Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" had previously pointed to address page to scroll down for Night Elf picture (after scrolling down a screen). Scrolling down further will show a larger picture of the gal.
• Stuff from others
  • Other sites:
    • Old Allakhazam Forum thread (page 21 when viewing at 50 posts per page).
    • Zetan's post on page 13 (or page 7 if you've configured the site to have 100 posts per page)
    • Ahriana's page (old URL, which now links to new home of Ahriana's page
  • Videos
    • Astronomica's video
    • Pets video: Not about nude girls, but about model changing.

    • Girls Gone W.O.W., another music video featuring girls but not nudity. Requires Gamespot ID to download from linked site. (For what it's worth, this was found from Kotaku's GGWoW page, linked to from Fleshbot's page as linked to from Kotaku.)

      I haven't tried this yet, but apparently one can watch Girls Gone WoW at iFilm. I wouldn't be surprised if iFilm might offer conversions into another file format, but I didn't instantly see what formats they had available, I only knew that iFilm understanably didn't like the severe lack of configured and up-to-date video playback plugins in my browser.

    • Graphics
      • Screenshots

          • 4 on Ironforge Bridge

          • On the road East of Goldshire
      • Graphics with good material for loading screens
        • nakedwow.jpg, from the root directory of www.postposh.com, as found from a Google Images search for "nakedwow"), this was apparently on Posh's site.
        • Reference to Google's Lucky Results which I have seen chagned since luck.htm was posted. Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" had previously pointed to address page to scroll down for Night Elf picture (after scrolling down a screen). Scrolling down further will show a larger picture of the gal.
• Tools to make things work:
  • See my Patchin' Batch file, linked to above.
  • Technetium's TGA to BLP2 convertor works well with transparent files and non-transparent loading screens. Partially transparent model textures do not seem to work well, though (with the version as of this writing).
  • MoPaQ 2000 (Build 2210): Software discontinued in favor fo the more graphical WinMPQ, but MoPaQ seems to have been able to extract subdirectories better than WinMPQ. WinMPQ's documentation states it doesn't support WinMPQ's /r switch for extraction.
  • Working WinMPQ: I found it works. Then downloading WinMPQ from what appears to be WinMPQ's official site resulted in getting an executable about half the size which didn't work on my system. (Maybe I just needed to install some of the support files that the official site linked to?) Source is available from what appears to be WinMPQ's official site.
  • BINSUB 1.8 (Download locations 1 2 3 4). (I used to use Howard Best's _Replace.Exe for handling optional CharSections.dbc modifications. As it is no longer used, the local copy of _replace.zip is now in the oldver/ directory.)
  • ShadySnake's Succubus texture, and some other skins. Makes it so that the succubus is more in character with that of a succubus, instead of being tamed down to support an ESRB T rating. Succubus2.zip's current home. As far as I can tell, the file is not in line with the rules RapidShare.de has on the site's FAQ, so in advance of it possibly disappearing from there, it has been re-released as a trio of Rar files (and also as a tril of Arj files). I've released here a 3-part release (part 1) (part 2) (part 3). These three Rar-format files will combine to make the same Succubus2.zip that can be found from RapidShare.de.
  • Loading screen material has been distributed in multiple ways:
    • MakePosh.Bat
    • A couple of Rar-style files: Part 1 and part 2 for loading screen material.
    • A couple of Arj-style files: Part 1, Part 2
  • 4DOS 7.50 Freeware Release (or alternate location of 4DOS 7.50 Freeware Release, working JP Software that lets GoInst.BTM get properly executed. I imagine, since GoInst.BTM doesn't use full paths, that 4DOS will work okay for this with any standard consumer version of Windows to date, including Windows XP. If not, one may wish to dabble with a trial version of some other JP SOftware, or perhaps the old freeware Take Command (TCMD) 2.02 for 16-bit Windows (which likely won't have superb support for directories (or files) with long (or any non-"8.3" format) names.
