[Mount Swap] Netherdrakes -> Frost Wyrms

[Khothu]

Sorry for lack of variety, blizz only has 2 colors, and I couldn't figure out how to change them without screwing up the transparency.

NO, dude, NO F***ING way! +Rep

[nicdude]

I love you!!! I've been waiting for this since the first preview. Thanks you sooo much dude. You're the best. +REP

Edit- It didn't work for me. It just makes my character invisible and immobile. Sorry if I'm doing something wrong. I put the MPQ in the data folder where they usually go and started wow. The drakes with armor have wierd wings and the normal drakes just don't work. Again sorry if I'm doing something wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're not supposed to rename the textures. I think that's the problem.

[kaplar]

Doesn't work for me either for some reason, I just get a drake with sloppy textures. Really sloppy textures. :P

[nicdude]

Yeah, for the swift and merciless netherdrake right? Me too.

[Dombo]

Wow! That's freaking awesome! *nub question*: Does this work on retail realms?

[Khothu]

That was on a retail realm. And I'm guessing the "sloppy textures" consisted of the head working fine, but the rest of the drake getting screwed up.

If that's the case: MPQ here

Also, since it was on one of the lower population realms (two dudes on the server have vengeful drakes), I didn't have a chance to check and see if it screwed with the arena models. I'll see if I can get them working today.

[nicdude]

The model doesn't switch. The textures work fine, but they're on the nether-drake models.

[Khothu]

Okay, I have no idea what's up. But here's some of the ways I got it to screw up before I made it work on mine.


That's what happens if I just swap the RidingUndeadDrake.M2 for the NetherDrake.M2. Something weird, and entirely undesirable.


This one is with the M2 swapped and renamed, and with the skins swapped. Something was missing.


Then the 4 .skin files went in. Since the "2" textures in the original netherdrakes had the stuff for the body and feet, I renamed the frost wyrm's textures as such and got a bunch of drakes with a working head, but bad wings and body.

All that I did from there was swap the wing and body textures(Change the UndeadDrake skin with the wings to SKINCOLOR2 instead of 3), and then it worked perfectly. I am on a mac, but I'm not sure how that would effect anything related to modelediting. Anyone with some insight?

[llovelyf]

very nice !!!!! thank you very much .

[nicdude]

Do I need ME-fix or something? The mount turns me completely invisible, and I can't move. when i dismount, I'm in a different place though.

[Tsukoi]

>.< Do I need ME-Fix?

[Vhann]

Yea you need WoWMe

[Andyboy01]

wut program did you use to edit the MPQs?

[nicdude]

I have a question. How come I don't need wowme for the wotlk druid and weapon swaps, but I need it for this?
