[QUESTION] New Mount Model + Display

[Soldan]

Hey Modcraft,
I've been searching around Modcraft for quite a while now, but I never came round to posting... Until now.

I seem to have a little problem, when it comes to creating a brand new mount with it's own model, basically, I know how to create custom mounts from scratch, with it's own spell, NPC, etc. A good example being:




And I made a custom skin for it:



But now, what I want to do, is beable to "keep" the black tiger, and have another mount with the "lava armored" one.

I modified CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc, I copied the black tigers row, and changed the texture blps, for example:



And then I added CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc to a new patch, and the Skin BLP.


I also added the CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc to my server DBC folder, and created a NEW NPC in the DB with Modelid1 "40000"... I restarted the server, and when I tried to spawn the NPC, it was as if the NPC didn't exist, and when I used .mod morph 40000, nothing happened.

Any suggestions/help would be really appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Soldan.

Try duplicating the model (.m2) and name it ArmoredTiger.m2 and add that name in the .DBC

Ok, I managed to get it to morph now, but it's green.

What I did was edit "CreatureModelData.DBC" Column 7 (MyDbcEditor) as I guessed that was the "amount" of textures allowed or set for that model, so I set it to 8, and as I mentioned above, now it morphs, but it's completly green.

Any suggestions?

P.S: Phucko1, where do I add the .m2? In the same place? CreatureTiger...?

[phucko1]

No put it in like "Creature/Armoredtiger/Model (.m2 and .skin files here) could put your .blp here aswell and then do a new row in the .dbc set the model collumn to yours and texture aswell.

I... Love... You!

Thanks alot man.. really, xD




Problem SOLVED!
P.S: Mmmm, they eyes?

[phucko1]

want the eyes to be red?

[phucko1]

Try do this: make a new row in .dbc that has exact same stuff as original tiger and just change model and texture and try if the eyes works.

Bump, bump, bumpedy bump

How on earth did you resolve this?
I've done everything you said here, im working with Hordepvpmount, and I made an arctic recolor, at the moment it just cancels out the original texture (i want to keep both) my server only imported the red color.
(I can't even manage to get it ingame, badly textured or not, the displayid seemingly does nothing)

Here is what I did, I opened up the patch they used to import the model, and I copied the M2 'HordePVPMount.m2'
and I renamed it to 'HordePVPMountSnow.m2', I made a new line in the characterdisplayinfo.dbc, the ID column says 40450, column 1 says '9012', column 2 says '0', column 3 says '0' column 4 says '1' and column 5 says '255', column 6 says 'HordePVPMountSnowBodyRed', column 7 says 'HordePVPMountSnowArmorRed', column 8 says 'HordePVPMountSnowBannerRed', column 9 is empty, column 10 says '1'

And in CreatureModelData

Column 1 (ID) has 9054, column 2 has '4', column 3 has 'HordePVPMountSnow.mdx', column 4 has '1', column 5 has '1', column 6 has '1', column 7 has '8', colum 8 has '0x0', column 9 has '0x41900000', column 10 has '1', column 12, and 13 have 0, and column 14 has '1828', column 15 has '0.611100018024445', column sixteen has '2.03099989891052', column 17 has '1.39911103248596', column 18 has '-2.30694508552551', column 19 has '-0.633575022220612', column 20 has '-0.0239819996058941', column 21 has '1.60659301280975', column 22 has '0.546913027763367', column 23 has '2.02584409713745', and column 1 and 2 have '1', and 26 has 0, 27 has 0x0, and 28 has 0x0, so does 29, and 30  

PLEASE HELP!

P.S Sorry for the cluster fuck.
