Custom Flying Mounts

[GPUseless]

Hello everyone!

I was wondering how I could go about creating or editting current flying mounts displays without the use of model edits. I have managed to create several land mounts simply by editting the database. Although for some reason, it doesnt work the same with the flying mounts. I AM willing to go into core editting if someone wouldn't mind explaining it.

All help is appreciated! :wave:

Hmm, I've wondered the same myself. Seems to me that the flying mount spells displayids are "hard-coded" into the emu, well, at least Mangos. I have yet to figure out how to add custom flyers into the code and none of my database displayid edits have worked. Would love info on how to do this as well. +Rep to whoever can explain it.

Something I'd also like to know. However, Shao, can you post how you managed to change the display id's of land mounts?

I would also like to know how to changed the land mounts and of course flying mounts ^^ +rep for all

I may make my first guide on how to do this in a bit, at the least, I'll make a short explanation here later tonight.

I might beat ya to it!

Guess not, lol. But, anyways, I'll post an example of a few land mounts here, don't have time to make a full guide atm.

NOTE: The following is for mangos.

Ok first, you have to find the displayID for the mount you WANT. Then you need to determine which spell you will use to summon that mount. In the example, we will use the mount spell for "Swift Olive Raptor" to create a mount that is reffered to as a "PvPT2Kodo" in the dbc's (Looks like the PvP kodos but with different armor).

Example:

REPLACE INTO `item_template` (`entry`, `class`, `subclass`, `unk0`, `name`, `displayid`, `Quality`, `Flags`, `BuyCount`, `BuyPrice`, `SellPrice`, `InventoryType`, `AllowableClass`, `AllowableRace`, `ItemLevel`, `RequiredLevel`, `RequiredSkill`, `RequiredSkillRank`, `requiredspell`, `requiredhonorrank`, `RequiredCityRank`, `RequiredReputationFaction`, `RequiredReputationRank`, `maxcount`, `stackable`, `ContainerSlots`, `stat_type1`, `stat_value1`, `stat_type2`, `stat_value2`, `stat_type3`, `stat_value3`, `stat_type4`, `stat_value4`, `stat_type5`, `stat_value5`, `stat_type6`, `stat_value6`, `stat_type7`, `stat_value7`, `stat_type8`, `stat_value8`, `stat_type9`, `stat_value9`, `stat_type10`, `stat_value10`, `dmg_min1`, `dmg_max1`, `dmg_type1`, `dmg_min2`, `dmg_max2`, `dmg_type2`, `dmg_min3`, `dmg_max3`, `dmg_type3`, `dmg_min4`, `dmg_max4`, `dmg_type4`, `dmg_min5`, `dmg_max5`, `dmg_type5`, `armor`, `holy_res`, `fire_res`, `nature_res`, `frost_res`, `shadow_res`, `arcane_res`, `delay`, `ammo_type`, `RangedModRange`, `spellid_1`, `spelltrigger_1`, `spellcharges_1`, `spellppmRate_1`, `spellcooldown_1`, `spellcategory_1`, `spellcategorycooldown_1`, `spellid_2`, `spelltrigger_2`, `spellcharges_2`, `spellppmRate_2`, `spellcooldown_2`, `spellcategory_2`, `spellcategorycooldown_2`, `spellid_3`, `spelltrigger_3`, `spellcharges_3`, `spellppmRate_3`, `spellcooldown_3`, `spellcategory_3`, `spellcategorycooldown_3`, `spellid_4`, `spelltrigger_4`, `spellcharges_4`, `spellppmRate_4`, `spellcooldown_4`, `spellcategory_4`, `spellcategorycooldown_4`, `spellid_5`, `spelltrigger_5`, `spellcharges_5`, `spellppmRate_5`, `spellcooldown_5`, `spellcategory_5`, `spellcategorycooldown_5`, `bonding`, `description`, `PageText`, `LanguageID`, `PageMaterial`, `startquest`, `lockid`, `Material`, `sheath`, `RandomProperty`, `RandomSuffix`, `block`, `itemset`, `MaxDurability`, `area`, `Map`, `BagFamily`, `TotemCategory`, `socketColor_1`, `socketContent_1`, `socketColor_2`, `socketContent_2`, `socketColor_3`, `socketContent_3`, `socketBonus`, `GemProperties`, `RequiredDisenchantSkill`, `ArmorDamageModifier`, `ScriptName`, `DisenchantID`, `FoodType`, `minMoneyLoot`, `maxMoneyLoot`, `Duration`) VALUES (18789, 15, 0, -1, 'Reins of the Furious Kodo', 24757, 5, 64, 1, 1000000, 0, 0, -1, -1, 60, 60, 762, 150, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 23242, 0, 0, 0, 0, 330, 3000, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, '', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, '', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

This will create an item that REPLACES the Swift Olive Raptor, using for the items displayid 24757(the kodos displayid or the mount you want) and spellid 23242 (the swift olive raptors spellid).

Also, none of mine worked correctly till I also changed the creatures displayid. The creature being the "Swift Olive Raptor".

REPLACE INTO `creature_template` (`entry`, `heroic_entry`, `modelid_A`, `modelid_A2`, `modelid_H`, `modelid_H2`, `name`, `subname`, `IconName`, `minlevel`, `maxlevel`, `minhealth`, `maxhealth`, `minmana`, `maxmana`, `armor`, `faction_A`, `faction_H`, `npcflag`, `speed`, `scale`, `rank`, `mindmg`, `maxdmg`, `dmgschool`, `attackpower`, `baseattacktime`, `rangeattacktime`, `flags`, `dynamicflags`, `family`, `trainer_type`, `trainer_spell`, `class`, `race`, `minrangedmg`, `maxrangedmg`, `rangedattackpower`, `type`, `flag1`, `lootid`, `pickpocketloot`, `skinloot`, `resistance1`, `resistance2`, `resistance3`, `resistance4`, `resistance5`, `resistance6`, `spell1`, `spell2`, `spell3`, `spell4`, `PetSpellDataId`, `mingold`, `maxgold`, `AIName`, `MovementType`, `InhabitType`, `RacialLeader`, `RegenHealth`, `equipment_id`, `mechanic_immune_mask`, `flags_extra`, `ScriptName`) VALUES (14543, 0, 24757, 0, 24757, 0, 'Swift Olive Raptor', '', '', 1, 2, 64, 64, 53, 53, 20, 35, 35, 0, 0.78, 1, 0, 1, 2, 0, 7, 2000, 2200, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.76, 2.42, 100, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, '', 0, 3, 0, 1, 0, 0, 2, '');

The above will change the displayID to that of the "PvPT2Kodo", the red being our desired displayID.

Here are some example mount displayID's:
Swift Zhevra (RaF Mount)-24693
"Gem Tiger"-25682
Golden Dreadsteed-25686
Northrend Polar Bear (WotLK Only)-26358

I've managed to make a few of these without REPLACING any other mounts. Will post more info on this once I determine what to edit so that we can use 1 mount spell for multiple custom mounts. Hope this helps a bit.

any flying mount guids?

Nope, still haven't come across any helpful info concerning custom flyers. I will certainly make a guide on how to change them, if, and when, I determine how.
