[Request] Swift Blue Gryphon to Black Proto-Drake

[arawn05]

Hey, could someone be so cool and do that for me? I tried myself but either Glitchys Editing Suit is buggy or I'm too dumb. Would be greatly appriciated and of course I'd give +Rep

[arawn05]

Anyone? telling me how to do it is fine aswell >.>

[Geppy]

ok I will try -- I tried but ..
ok Black Proto-Drake is from new patch so i cant do that since I quit, but I will tell you how:

forums/model-editing-guides-programs/53908-applications-model-editing-programs ... since I dont want to repeat for this you need only MyWarcraftStudio and guide is here : forums/model-editing-guides-programs/83204-guide-basic-simple-guide-mywarcraftstudio-model-editing

after this you should be able to make it on your own

[arawn05]

Ok cheers for trying to help, but now MyWarCraftStudio is bugging. Whenever I click on a model the program crashes. Pro tips pls?

[schlumpf]

Reinstall windows or delete M2Craft.dll.

[arawn05]

Worked, thanks.

Problem I have now though is:


How can I fix that? Do I have to replace all the animations etc aswell? I mean the model as screwed up as it is does seem to be using the Proto Drake animations (even though they don't seem to be the MOUNT animations, because the model won't stop doing the moves the NPC Drakes do) but maybe replacing one model and the texture isn't enough? The scaling seems to be way off aswell even if I wouldn't mind the custom model being a bit bigger as the actual drake mount is.

Sorry for the nub questions.

[arawn05]

I had a look at mount point and stuff but when I open the drake's m2 file the programme crashes.

Mountpoints would have to be fixed for 3.0. Glitchy's suite is outdated.

[arawn05]

Ok I'm a lot closer now. But, as nothing can just work, I don't get textures displayed (wich I may will be able to fix myself) and there's no animations. I mean I can fly around, the mount is using the drake's model, but it has no flying animation and I can't seem to find any in the MPQ. Could you help me out? I'd be fine with a link to a guide (that isn't outdated by chance) I don't neccesarily want you to type it out for me step by step.

I have all mount files swapped apart from the .blp's and the apparently lacking animation files.

[arawn05]

*sigh* I checked the link leading to a M2 wiki you posted in another thread to maybe get an idea of how to make it work but it's all french to me. Looks like you know what you're talking about, so it'd be greatly appriciated if you could just say what I'm doing wrong or haven't done yet.

I'm sure it'd help a lot of other people too and reduce the threads of people asking about it..

You swapped ProtoDragonMount0099-00.anim to ProtoDragonMount0101-00.anim laready?(you can find them in Common.MPQ

[arawn05]

I tried but doesn't seem to have changed anything. This is what I got:



Changing things back and forth doesn't seem to work and it's getting really annoying now. I have no idea what to do but I don't wanna give up now that I got it "so far" >_<

[IrishOsirus]

Looks like you are having the same problems as me. I am doing a Drake to Protodragon swap and this is as far as i could get.



All animations are fine except flight. It looks like he is walking really fast in air.

DrakeMount Animations
DrakeMount0060-00.anim
DrakeMount0074-00.anim
DrakeMount0099-00.anim
DrakeMount0100-00.anim
DrakeMount0100-01.anim
DrakeMount0101-00.anim

ProtoDragon Animations
ProtoDragon0099-00.anim
ProtoDragon0100-00.anim
ProtoDragon0101-00.anim

If anyone would like to help out here is all of these anim's. Protodragon & Drake Animations

ive tried switching around the protodragon anim's with the similar named drakemount anim's but no avail.

[Tigurius]

Ah now I see the problem: Protodragon has some animations of group 3(which was introduced in Wotlk) while the old mounts only have animations of group 0, but as the changed model is referenced as an old model WoW doesn't load the group 3 animations from ProtoDragonModel.
So I think you'll probably have to change the model via a dbc-edit( Information about CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc ), or try to edit the animations to be referenced as group 0 Animations(->hexedit the model).

[IrishOsirus]

I've looked around and determined that any of the following are the lines i need to switch around. I am new to DBC editing so I'm not sure what to do after this. Do I edit this in excel then import back as a dbc?
