Draenor graphics in Vanilla?
Not possible.

I could see that because the water had the new textures which were implemented in Cataclysm.
What you saw was an alpha map ported to Cataclysm/Pandaria client, which is why you are seeing better graphics.
This is not vanilla, this is old .adt files converted into a newer version so they can be opened in Cata/pandaria client.alucard001 wrote:So it meavy could be possible change some textures from the game. Or meavy what i saw it just was a Cataclysm private client with the .mpq file from Alpha wow sandbox. (I know it could be possible aswell because some custom private servers uses .mpq files to make possible their custom content ingame) This is the most probably case.
Anyway, i ask for if anyone knows how to do it.
You can't, not without heavy backporting.
The M2 file structure changed heavily from Vanilla to TBC and to WoTLK. I am pretty sure it has changed several times from WoTLK to Draenor today.
If you wanted to have Draenor models in vanilla, you would have to disasssemble the new M2 Structure ( I don't even know if they are still using M2's for models ) and then backport it into a vanilla-compitable version. I don't know if anyone has tried this but I can only assume it will take a lot of time and the results will be buggy.
The textures can probably be used, but then again, textures doesn't magically improve how the game looks visually. You can't just 'modify' the game files to make your vanilla look magically better, you need to change the renderer, use dx11, the shader(s).. everything.

Warden can check mpq files.
My account was suspended during WotLK cause I changed the texture of that fucking crystal you needed for a daily.
Warden cannot scan files.
