[hangel87]

Hello everyone!
I wanted to try to change the mount RidingFrostSabre in RidingSilithid
but the result is this ... and in game I've the same problem,so it not a WMV problem!



and this is the MPQ archive


I do not want the file already placed, but only the guidance on how to do ...
if someone can I give +Rep+Rep!

thanks at all!

the problem is the boxes over eyes right?

perhaps theres a eye texture for one of the mounts thats interfering

or if the tiger has a textured animation like a smoke effect

but i realy wouldnt know, sorry

also could chek to make sure all the programs you use are newest version,never know how that kinda stuff can effect things

you sorry, I forgot son is a texture to eyes .. but I do not know where to put it ...

I usually do these by DBC because it's a much better way but as you're doing it the other way, you're going to have to find the proper PVPRidingTigerEyeGlow texture for your original mount (there are different colors) and then replace it with the eye glow texture the AQ mount has.

I will avoid using the DBC why i don't use MEF .. can you explain how to do what you say?

Well first step I would take is to open your original mount in WMV and then look at the log file. It will say something similiar to

17:49:57: Loading model: Creature\Frostsabre\pvpridingfrostsabre.m2
17:49:57: Loading texture: Creature\Frostsabre\PVPRidingTigerSkinBlackSpotted.blp
17:49:57: Loading texture: Creature\Frostsabre\PVPRidingTigerEyeGlow.blp

You see the two textures there? Those are the ones you have to change. So lets open the Qiraji mount in WMV now, and look at the log file again.

17:53:19: Loading model: Creature\Ridingsilithid\ridingsilithid.m2
17:53:31: Loading texture: Creature\Ridingsilithid\RidingSilithidTankSkinArmoredBlack.blp
17:53:31: Loading texture: Creature\Ridingsilithid\RidingSilithidEyeGlowYellow.blp

Here we find the two textures for your new Qiraji mount. So basically what's left here is to extract the m2 and two blps from the Qiraji mount and rename them as the frostsaber files and put them into an MPQ. I hope this helps

That was just an example. The skin in my example (BlackSpotted) isn't the same as yours (Black). So instead you'll have Creature\Frostsabre\PVPRidingTigerSkinBlack.blp and Creature\Frostsabre\PVPRidingTigerEyeGlowViolet.blp, both of which can be found in common.MPQ.

This one has been driving me crazy also!
I have a similar problem with my Nelf cat to AQ tank edit.

looking close, I see the 'glow' texture is in fact the same texture as for the tank itself. Been trying to figure out how to fix it but nothing worked so far..
