Rivendare's Deathcharger to Amani War Bear ... Problem :<

[Dustxxx]

So after some successful race to race model edits I've finally decided to try mount swapping, but I've run into a problem (obviously, since I'm posting here!)



Yaaaaa while that looks awesome, it's not really what I was looking for O.o

Hopefully someone will be able to spot a mistake in my approach!

1.
I copy the treepath for Rivendare's Deathcharge from common-2.MPQ into notepad (Creature\MOUNTEDDEATHKNIGHT\MountedDeathKnight.M2)

2.
I copy the treepath for Rivendare's Deathcharge's skin from common.MPQ into notepad
(Creature\MOUNTEDDEATHKNIGHT\MountedDeathKnightBlack_01.blp and Creature\MOUNTEDDEATHKNIGHT\MountedDeathKnightBlack_02.blp)

3.
I create a Creature folder and inside there, a MOUNTEDDEATHKNIGHT folder where I extract the Amani War Bear's m2 (Creature\bearmount\BearMount.M2 from patch.MPQ)

3.
I extract the Amani War Bear's textures (Creature\bearmount\BearMountSkinBlack.blp and Creature\bearmount\BearMountArmorRed.blp) into my Creature\MOUNTEDDEATHKNIGHT folder

4.
I then create a new MPQ archive and imports the m2 file and the 2 skins after renaming them to MountedDeathKnight.M2, MountedDeathKnightBlack_01.blp and MountedDeathKnightBlack_02.blp and saves the file

I hope someone can point out my mistake so I can have my bear o/

Thanks!

Edit: \o/ Sorry for the thread name... Fixed!

Here's a thought: Edit the CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc entry instead, and just tell it to use a different model. Remember that what it gives you are display ID's. To find the display ID of a mount, go to a site like wowhead, do a search for the spell name, and look for the Apply Aura: Mounted (awesomeness) effect, where "awesomeness" is the creature ID. From there, just follow a guide to get the display ID. Personally, I use Quice and just look in my database. There are many alternatives (WoW model viewer is a popular one).

Anyways, here's a patch that should work for you. You'll need to make sure that you put this in your localization folder and rename the enUS part if your localization is different.
