BUG: Druid Shapeshifting Sizes

Recommended Posts

I am sorry if this is the incorrect forum.. I was on the bug tracker and couldn't find any way to submit a new bug. I'll repost this as a bug report if some one lets me know how

Druid shapeshifting sizes are currently broken (a remnant of the Nostalrius core). I saw that a fix went through a week or two ago for Tauren druids and now they are correctly the same size as night elf druids, however both races forms are still too large.. 

The issue: Druid cat and travel form are too large because no shrinking is occurring during shapeshift. 

What is supposed to happen: While shapeshifting a druid actually shrinks during the animation, causing the cheetah and cat forms to be much smaller than they currently are on Elysium. Tauren and Nightelf druid forms should be the same size.

Evidence:
Night elf shapeshifting, notice how they shrink during the shifting process:

This shrinkage is easier to see with Tauren animations:

As you can see from the video, travel form and cat form for a tauren are actually pretty small models. Bear, cat, travel form sizes for Taurens and Nightelves should be exactly the same size. Moonkin form is slightly larger for Taurens but I think that is just due to the model.

This is a personal screenshot from TBC (the forms did not change going into TBC) showing a nightelf (right) and a tauren (left) druid in travel form. Showing the sizes being the same: http://i.imgur.com/VQkGX.jpg

For reference, the sizes of the models on live are basically correct and have not changed since classic (the models themselves changed). 

edit: if needed I can try help figure out the exact sizes that the models should be shrinking to

I managed to find a screenshot with my tauren druid in travel form near a human and a troll for size reference.
