What is Warcraft Model Library?
The Warcraft Model Library is a project with the intent to make creating Warcraft themed maps even easier. This library includes several Mod files that will be uploaded and updated on Battle.net for everyone to use. All you need to do to use these mods is download the mod file and place it in the mods directory in your Starcraft 2 folder (I will put a link or create a tutorial on how to do that later). Currently this library consists of DOODAD models only. However, I hope to add units and tree resource models soon. In addition, myself and a team are currently going through each model and enhancing the detail by adding normal maps.

If you decide to use any of these mods, I only ask that you give proper credits on the loading screen or in the map itself. In addition, anybody can add mod files or update current mod files by using the Warcraft Model Library site set up.

If you have any questions or would like to work with me more closely in making this project more robust, please contact me at Warcraft.ModelLibrary@gmail.com.

Note: Not all Mod Files are currently uploaded to Battle.Net. If you would like to help me upload and maintain these mod files, please contact me!

This project is completely open source. Anyone can use these mods for any project. All I ask is for proper credits somewhere. This also means that anybody can help improve this project! Whether you'd like to help host a mod file, report bugs, update/improve existing mods, or even add your own model libraries to the mix, it is all encouraged.
By helping with any of these things, you will receive proper credit and my tanks

Currently, we need help hosting all the model libraries. Because of the restrictions Blizzard has created, I alone cannot host every mod file. If you would like to Sponsor a Mod file, you will be given credit in the actual Mod name on Sc2 Mapster or any other Website with the mod.

I also would appreciate feedback on the Libraries themselves. Any activity and posting helps keep this project relevant.

If you would like to help, contact me here or at www.Warcraft.ModelLibraries@gmail.com

Downloading the Mods
1. First, you need to download the mod files here.

2. Go to your downloads folder (or wherever you downloaded the Mods to) and move them to your Sc2 Mod Directory. (This is usually at C:\Program Files\StarCraft II\Mods or C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Mods)

Adding the Dependencies
1. Open up the Starcraft 2 Editor and then open up your map.

2. Go to the top left and click on File -> Dependencies...

3. A new dialog will appear with a few options. Click on the "[green]Add Other[/greeen]" button at the bottom left part of the dialog box.

4. This will open up another dialog that will show all the mods you have downloaded and put in your Mod Directory (the thing we did before). Click on the mod you want and press "OK". If you want to add more than one mod, just repeat steps 3 and 4.

5. After you have added all the mods you want, press "OK" on the dialog box and save your map.

Using the Mods in Your Map
Now you can use all the models in your own map! All you need to do is open up the doodad pallet and search for the models. (Searching for "(W)" will filter all the Warcraft Models!)

It's also important to know that you don't need to upload any of the Mod files in your Mods Directory. They are already uploaded to Battle.net! All you need to do is upload your map and when somebody plays it, Battle.net will load the dependencies along with your map!

In Association with: Warcraft A New Dawn project.
If you would like to join and help out with this project as well, please PM me here!

Here I will make a list of other resources put together by other people on Sc2Mapster that will assist people in making Warcraft-themed maps! None of these links are my own work. They are made from their respected creators which I will list here. If any of the people responsible for these assets finds this repost intolerable or wrong in any way, please contact me and I will remove your asset from the list. I will never link directly to the actual download, only to the main page of the asset itself. Enjoy!

WoW Model-Pack By Zarakk
Tons and tons of unit models that have working animations and can be used in maps to create Warcraft-like units. I really admire this project and hope to someday improve upon it by making a database mod purely filled with every Warcraft Unit Available!

Warcraft 3 Icons By 7H3LaughingMan
This resource contains all 1,062 Warcraft 3 Icons edited so that it has 100% Integration into Starcraft 2. These icons are from the Warcraft 3 game. I'll try to get a similar asset with WoW icons, or find one that somebody else has done.
