Character models are zone_chr.s3d, zone textures are zone.s3d. All that replaced was your zone textures, and shouldn't have had any impact on your models. I use them with no problem. You probably had an error during the file modifications. Try disabling texture caching, reinstalling/getting replacement {globals and growthplane} _chr.s3d and make sure you have the correct global file from eqchangesv3.zip.
