[Model Swap][3.3.5] Warlock Felguard -> Lady Sacrolash

[CryptoCombat]

This is a project I was working on for a while, The patch changes the warlock's Felguard pet into Lady Sacrolash of SWP. I did not simply model swap, so other felguards in the game should remain unaffected.

I edited the CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc for DisplayID 14255, added a new CreatureModelData.dbc ID specifically for the pet (Leaving the original for the other felguards), added a new CreatureSoundData.dbc ID for it as well, created 5 new SoundEntries.dbc IDs, and tied up some other loose ends. Please give feedback on this mod's impact on other felguards, as well as any suggestions for changes.

No, you cannot assign it new weapons or a shield - sorry.

If leaving feedback on it's impact, please make sure all other mods are disabled to be sure that it isn't another mod.

This is great! I like your UI +Rep

[CryptoCombat]

Thanks...Normally it's cleaner, and I generally have better buttons...but some settings got wiped in an accident, and I have yet to restore them.

That is awesome but can I make a request, please? Could you possibly change warlock IMP into a gnome?

[CryptoCombat]

Eww. Gnomes.

[dunyasi]

Eww. Gnomes.

Just a question, is that displayID for a 'pet' Felguard, applicable for say, if I wanted to change how a pet wolf looks like while not affecting any other creatures (in this case, the mount wolves too) if I did a model change.

It's prolly more specific for warlocks since they have the spell for summoning the pet, but I'm just curious.

You are correct. The server uses the ID for the original pet, and operates on it, i.e. reduces size. You could find a pet in a area with an exclusive modeled beast, tame it, then model edit the beast, and hope not to see it again in the wild.

You can assign it a new weapon. The name of the weapon model is "axe_2h_horde_d_04.m2" and the name of the skin is "Axe_2H_Horde_D_04Blue".

Edit: Oh and why did you ask for a Felguard -> Lady Sacrolash change HERE If you had already started making one :P

That's obvious - but the weapon model is set via the server, and I wont change a weapon for the felguard that would affect all the arcanite reapers in the game.

My fault ^^ I misunderstood your sentence.

Hm, so as I follow you, if I can find a unique-model/unique-IDed beast, tame it, and do a DBC edit to change the DisplayID of that particular NPC, it would only affect THAT particular NPC and it's tamed pet version (since the server is using the original NPC and 'changing' it into a pet every time).

I'm hoping that I'm understanding your method correctly, because currently there's only one uniquely modeled wolf, while every other wolf is basically the same 3 wolf models with different skins on. If I change any of the 3 core wolf models, it would affect a ton of other models, one of them would be the wolf-mount model for Horde, so I'm very reluctant to do it. I could model-edit the only unique model wolf, but it's a fairly popular model and easy to get, so I'm not inclined to do it.

So, bear with me, I'm going to list the process and you tell me if I'm thinking right :S

1. Locate a unique NPC wolf (model is not unique, but skin is. The wolf itself is a rare spawn).
2. DBC edit the DisplayID of that wolf to what I want (it'll actually be a custom model, but I'm going to think about that part later. I think it'll be another can of worms to get it working :S)
3. Tame beastie.
4. Yay my wolf is now completely unique unless someone else goes out to find that rare spawn and tame it too! (unlikely as it does have a unique skin, it's just an incredibly dull unique skin).

Step 2 is prolly a ton more steps, but I'm hoping I got the capabilities of what you did with the Felguard pet down right. Just another question, but DBC editing to refer to a custom model and skin, do you know if that's possible? Or I should replace an existing model with a custom model/skin (I'm guessing it would be safer?)
