INSTALLATION You must read these steps if you aren't familiar with modelchanging. I expect everyone to read this before contacting me for help.
1: Make sure your game is shut down before going further.
2: You need a fresh version of WinRAR which can be found here: WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files (It's the official site and contains no keylogger/malware)
3: Extract from the RAR-archive the files you want (not the whole folder), and insert it into your 'C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data' folder.
You can find for example 'common.MPQ', 'expansion.MPQ' in the folder we're gonna use.
(If you can't find this folder, type in *.*MPQ (star, dot, star MPQ) with Windows own search-function. It will locate all files that has the fileending
.MPQ, then just right-click on one of those files and click "Navigate to folder" or "Open folder", whatever)
So for example you want the standard pack but the worgen aswell, you would pick "CAT&BEAR&MOONKIN&NESWIFTpatch-6.MPQ" and "WORGENpatch-8.MPQ",
this is because the files in the pack can complement each other and be matched as you please (with the exception if it has the same patch-number).
4: Remove the 'CAT&BEAR&MOONKIN&NESWIFT', 'WORGEN', 'TAURENFURBOLG', 'STAG' or 'SPELLSOUND' etc. prefixes but keep the numbers* after.
If you don't the patches will not work. So for example 'WORGENpatch-8.MPQ' becomes 'patch-8.MPQ'.
5: Just to be safe, rename any patch-#.mpq to patch-#.MPQ. (http://www.mmowned.com/forums/model-...orking-ya.html (Data Patches not working for ya?!) for guide on how to be able to change the file-ending), and if there's any Patch-#.MPQ then please replace it with patch-#.MPQ. Someone reported it started to work after they renamed that part of the file to lower-case all the way.
The capital letters can for some make the difference between having it working, or mysteriously crash your game. Proven to work, so try and look for this. I sometime forget to adjust the file-endings.
*(Note: working patch numbers vary from 1-9 and a-z. Also "#" means number)

READ: REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE DoA PATCH FILES OUT OF THE DATA
FOLDER WHEN PATCHING, OTHERWISE IT WILL MERGE WITH THE GAME
DATAFILES (COMMON.MPQ, EXPANSION.MPQ, PATCH.MPQ, PATCH-2.MPQ, PATCH-3.MPQ),
WHICH COULD MAKE THOSE WOW FILES CORRUPT. IF THIS HAS HAPPENED ALREADY,
EITHER REINSTALL WOW OR GET THOSE .MPQ-FILES FROM ANOTHER FRIENDS
INSTALLATION AND JUST PUT THEM INTO YOUR FOLDER.
THIS CRITICAL MOMENT ONLY APPLIES TO PATCHES, REMEMBER IT.
Uninstallation:
Just remove the DoA 'patch-#.MPQ's (hover mouse over the patches to see if it contains words like "Stag", "Worgen" etc in the tooltip-description)
from your 'World of Warcraft\Data' folder to have everything back to normal.
DO NOT REMOVE THE ORIGINAL GAME FILES
COMMON.MPQ, EXPANSION.MPQ, PATCH.MPQ, PATCH-2.MPQ AND SOMETIMES PATCH-3.MPQ
This pack is not modifying your World of Warcraft, but only overriding the 'lower'
patches so to say, so there's no harm in installing this pack as you can always remove it
with just a simple Shift+Delete and its out of your life.
