Druid animal model swap? [VANILLA]

[Tonydew]

So, I would like to try something on my Druid character. I'd like to model swap the models of the bear and cat, into something else. I don't know, for exemple, bear form would be swapped into a StormWind Guard, and cat form would be swapped into a Skeleton mob.

You catch my drift?

Now, some guidance for this would be very appreciated, since I'm not yet used to wow model editing.

(I have the required tools, WarcraftStudio, DBCeditor, and MPQ file editor.)

Thanks in advanced!

Change displayIDs used by forms you want to change and you are basically done. You may want to create a new displayID in case you can't find appropriate one (for example with correct scale or... whatever), if you don't know how to do it, simply let me know.

If you could guide me through this step by step it would be very much appreciated, since I have little to no experience in how to do these. Thanks.

If you don't even know how to edit one single DBC then you should check one of these sections before asking questions. Saves both your and our time.:

I am really sorry but, you sent me tutorials on how to edit maps with noggits and textures, couldn't find anything about model editing after searching 3 times in a row in those links. I don't think you're helping both of us here saving time...  :|

MPQ archives ("patches") are used to store nearly all edits you can possibly do. Not just map stuff. Well, in fact, as you can see here:

MPQs contains in fact everything.
