A program request - make WC3 use WoW models

I dunno if it is possible or not, but is someone here able to create a program that makes WC3 use WoW models. So we can play WC3 with WoW graphics.
So like instead of normal e.g. CryptLord the program will use WoW CryptLord and put him in the game instead, therefore inhancing the graphics.

Yes there is a way. You switch the MPQ's. But it might screw you over and it is illigal. It will also make you lag like hell.

I have both WoW and WC3 RFC/TFT. I just think it would be cool if I could play WC wityh extreme graphics.

But how can you switch MPQ? and Why would it be illigal seeing that I legally bought all of these games?

its useless unless you want to remod the wc3 engine its self so it can be more fluent with the graphics and capabilities.

there is no point, wc3 is dying as it already is, it would waste space..
the models for wow are in md2. format and the blp files are different.
The whole mpq will cause the wc3 intereface to..go whack, and you will be missing data files.

if you do make a program though or if anyone does, lets just say it too much big of a task having to convert every single blp2 and md2 and keeping the game interface and the datafiles intact and making the engine run the graphics, cuz..im no programmer but its obvious its not easy.
