Warcraft Model Library
UPDATE: So for some reason, Sc2Mapster deleted all the mod files. I have recovered them from Battle.net so they SHOULD be up-to-date. I will not be hosting all the files on Sc2Mapter anymore, so I will provide links to download them from Google Drive. Sorry for the inconvenience. Click to Download Mods
How to Use:
- Open up the Sc2 Editor and load your map.
- Once loaded, go to File -> Dependencies and click the button that says: "Add Other".
- A dialog will appear called "Choose Document". Click on the tab that says Battle.net (it's at the top left next to Local Files).
- Make sure you are logged into your Battle.net account (click the log in button). Click on the Source dropdown menu and select Map/Mod Name.
- There will be a search box right next to that. Type in: WC and click "Go".
- Scroll down and select the mod you wish to add and click "OK".
- Repeat these steps if you wish to add more than one mod (yes, you can do that!). After you're done adding mods, click "OK" and it will load the dependencies.
- To use the doodads, go to the doodad pallet and search for (W) to filter all the Warcraft Models.
- If models are too big/small, go into the data editor go to the models tab and search for the model you wish to change (sometimes this is easier by going to the ACTORS tab and then seeing which model is linked to the doodad you're wanting to change). Edit the Art Scale Maximum and Art Scale Minimum (make sure they're the same).

Warcraft Library: General Information
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 [email protected].
Here is the link to and alternate download for the Warcraft Model Library Database: HERE. 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!

Want to Help?
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 [email protected]
Downloading the Mods Here
- First, you need to download the mod files either here at Sc2Mapster, or at the alternate site here.
- 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)
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!
Other Warcraft Resources
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.
Warcraft Footman Model By Triceron
This is a custom Footman Model based on Warcraft 3's Footman from the cinematics. Uses animations from Warcraft 3. Model and Textures created by Triceron. This model is free for public use.
World of Warcraft Weapon Pack By Malpheus
WOW Weapon Model Packs for your use. This is approximately 10% of the models exported at SC2EAGLE, I will add as I get around to it. Credit to Shock for doing all the work.
Is it possible to make previews or pictures of the models.
@DonIslandTrolls: Go
Those models you talk about were uploaded to be critters only. Critters don't attack.
+Ark+
Hey guys i tried using the tiger,snake,monkey for a map i am helping to make but it appears that there arn't any attack animations am i just doing it wrong or arn't there any? If there arn't is there any way you guys could make some? i would really greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time, Don
@DaBernMon: Go
@TheHolyArk: Go
Yeah, any units in the current mod are poorly documented in the data editor so that they might overlap and try to use each other if you have multiple mods. I'll try and go back and see which ones had Creeps and such in them.
Ark if you could tell me which ones it would be helpful! thanks.
@DaBernMon: Go
Strange indeed.
That can happen only if you have added more than one dependency of these mods to a map.
For example: you have the map and you add Human mod + Troll & Orc mod.
+Ark+
Not sure if I am doing something wrong or not, but... I went into units and searched "dog" and other such things, the dog appeared to be a deer model with the tiki model. The sheep model was a monkey/gorilla thing with the sheep attached below it.. It seemed like many of these models were just a new model attached to an old one. Is this an error in my importing of the models, or something else?
@DaBernMon: Go
Some models are also units. Most of them are critters like horses, bunnies, elks, owls, gryphons, dogs ... etc.
Search them in the 'units' tab.
+Ark+
These models are beautiful! Very nice work. I know these models are all "Doodads" but is there any chance you could include an attack animation for some of them? (I basically know nothing about model creation or how to do this if it is too complicated) But I just thought some may work as great units (Ex: Tiger, Golem, Snake)
@DarlD: Go
If you could tell me which mod files they are, I'll fix/remove them and update it.
@RanchBurner: Go Yes, I'm apart of that group but this is a separate standalone project, but our group uses these mods to make our project.
Hey isn't this part of Warcraft: A New Dawn? http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/project13/
Neat, you released them to the public. This is a massive model addition to the community. There's a few error's that make the editor crash in a few doodads though. I forget which mod file, I'll have to check it out again.
