Haha, I know the feeling of frustration. There's a single little bush in my edit of arathi basin I just cannot find for the life of me.
Everytime I walk by the little green blob I'm reminded of how silly Blizzard is, and how much Blizzard hates us.

+rep though, i'll see if I can track down those leaves. For eyes are better than two.

Looks pretty good mate. If you want to make the place have an actual 'snowy' feel. Grab your DBC files and edit the weather to snow, although it is a little complex (there's probably some guides around here somewhere).

Also if you need to find where a model is just load up NoggIt and click the model. It will tell you the direct treepath of it. Its really helpful for situations like yours Liaa.

Hope that helped

[BACKABACKA]

Yeah, I know right? But thanks for trying to help. Hopefully one of our four eyes finds it :-)
Edit: Yes glynbeard that does sound helpful. Thanks, ill try it soon as I click post :-)
But if I did change the weather to snow, would it be perma or would it replace something like rain? (which never comes in barrens)

[liaa]

NiggIt has never worked for me.
It crashes soon as I click on a region to edit.

As for these leaves of yours, my suggestion if you're looking for a quick and easy alternative, take a tree out of Winterspring or Dun Morogh and just replace the whole .M2. You get a nice tree with a snowy look to it. If you want to keep the trunk colours consistent change that up. But then again knowing blizzard your trunk skin is probably not going to be there. I actually looked through everything to try to find those leaves, and with no luck.

[BACKABACKA]

Okay thats a good idea, thanks liaa! I appreciate it!

[liaa]

Anytime, and as a sidenote, maybe lightening up the trunks of your trees you have now to something whiter, since snow doesn't only fall on the leaves.
And maybe a different texture to your mountains, they sort of look like white humps. Again, Dun Morogh and Winterspring are great places to browse for these textures.

[BACKABACKA]

Okay, will do. I thought the mountains were a bit blendy too.

[BACKABACKA]

Alright I changed the mountains, the treetrunk colors, and some of the tilesets to look a bit more realistic. I have added a done, and to do list to the main post. If anyone can help with the unfinished things, please let me know. It would be helpful!

[glynbeard]

Liaa. Send me a picture of the shrub and where it is. I'll go grab the tree-path for you. Also send me your NoggIt's file log. I'll take a look at it and see if there's anything I can tell you (I'm the master of NoggIt not working.. For a half a year I had absolutely nothing. Then one morning it decided to work for me and has worked fine ever since).

And congrats backabacka, post up a video or slide-show or something when your totally complete. Also about your question, I think it'll just snow, you can change intensity and stuff too but eh, winter is my favorite season. So I love the snow .

[BACKABACKA]

Hey, I cant seem to get NoggIt to work either. I do need to find some things, I need to find out where the tileset and doodads are in the oasis, and i need to find the bushes and some of the branches (You can see them circled in the screenshots) If you could find the tree-path of those, I would appreciate it
EDIT: I couldnt get it to snow, but I tried

[glynbeard]

Pretty sure that the bush your having troubles with is:

World\Azeroth\Duskwood\Passivedoodads\Bush\Duskwoodbush02.Mdx

And heres all the textures used in that tree:

world\generic\passivedoodads\deadtreelogs\barrenstreebranch03_128.blp
world\kalimdor\barrens\passivedoodads\trees\barrenstree02skin_copy.blp
world\kalimdor\barrens\passivedoodads\trees\barrenstreeleaves04_copy.blp

I'm guessing the bolded one is what you were looking for?

Anyways. Hope that helped.

[BACKABACKA]

Okay thanks, ill check out the bushes right now. Thanks for finding the branches, it helps a lot. :-)

[glynbeard]

I edited my above post. Might wanna read it.

UPDATED: New screenshots!
If anyone knows where the tileset aswell as the doodads are for the Oasis' in the barrens please let me know! Thanks!
