[3.3.5a] Trying to replace mounts with the Cenarion War Hippogryph

[amlor]

Hey all,

I'm trying to swap the model of certain mounts with the Cenarion War Hippogryph, by replacing the values of said mounts with the values of the Hippogryph mount in the CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc table, found in common.MPQ, for which I'm using a DBC editor (MyDbcEditor). The ID for the Hippogryph in that DBC table is "22473".

However, when I replace the values a mount with the values of the Hippogryph, I get missing textures in-game:

I took a look at the textures of the Hippogryph inside common.MPQ (Creature\HippogryphMount) and realized there's a blp texture for the body, and then separate blp files for the wings and the armor, whereas regular mounts consist of just one blp.

I searched for the Cenarion War Hippogryph on Model Viewer and I noticed the model was duplicated with the same name but different capitalization, one had missing textures (hippogryphskin01) and the other was displaying correctly (HippogryphSkin01). However, in the DBC table I used the values for the model which displays the textures correctly in Model Viewer (HippogryphSkin01), so I'm not sure what else I could try.

Anybody got suggestions? Thanks in advance and I'd be glad to give reputation to any ideas or pointers.
