Model Swapping-One skin models to Two skin models.

[tetragerd]

I've been doing reskins for a while, and have done a few successful model swaps, but it's always been from one skin models to other one skin models. I use the good ol' extract .m2, .blp, .skin, etc. files and rename them into a new .mpq file. I have no experience with dbc edits.

Is there a method which I can use to swap a model with one skin (let's say the druid bear) to a model with multiple skins (like a dragon)?

[Zantas]

Yes, just change the skin the bear has.

if it don't work try learn DBC editing, creature swaps are very easy to do flawless with it. and changing 1 m2 don't affect all creatures with same m2 if you switch only the one with a certain skin

i think DBC edit is the only way if you dont want to design your own skin
i would try it too, but i dont know how to use the DBC editor

yeah, thats the exact problem i'm having.
and if i can use dbc edits and not make my own skin, thats not what i want to do at all

Edit the m2, so the second skin is hardcoded.
