It is partially because they revamped many of the old zones and replaced them with completely new versions. So, there is no longer a need to load any of those models for the old versions of the zone. The other part is like I said that some models were updated to new global models or just new models and so the old ones don't need to be loaded anymore.

You can do any of the following:

1. Copy the zone_chr.txt (for each zone you have model issues with, where "zone" is the short name of the zone) files from your Titanium client over to your UF install folder, and overwrite any there. This will make it load them just like Titanium did, but would need to be done on each client using UF on your server. You could also just copy all of the _chr.txt files from your Titanium folder to your UF folder and just replace them all to have the same result and simplify the process a bit. You can search your Titanium folder for files named *_chr.txt and just copy paste them into the UF folder. This is the simplest solution.

2. You can update the models on your server on a case by case basis to new models that have replaced the old ones. This probably wouldn't be all too hard with some SQL queries, but you will still need to have a full list of all models that need to be updated from what to what. Though, you could just do them as you find them. This solution should make the UF client work fine for all players, I think, but Titanium won't load those same models, so it would mess up the Titanium clients and they would then see humans instead. This solution is a little harder than the first, but not really too bad if you know what you are doing.

3. You can manually finish off the new revamped versions of the old zones by adding loot tables, quests, factions, etc to each zone to match the old versions as close as possible. Then, you can adjust zone lines to send the new clients to the new version and old clients to the original versions. I think this is actually the best solution, but it is also by far the most work to do. The downside to doing this is that your Titanium clients won't be able to group with your SoD and UF clients in those zones, since they will each be in their own separate version of the zone.

So, there you have it. Probably more than you wanted to know, but that is it in a nutshell.
