[Guide] ~sInX's Walkthrough to Mount-Swapping!

[~sInX]

Might be worth adding that there may be more to change for flying mounts. I switched my Netherdrake for a Red Protodrake, as I was nearly finished with the DBC editor I noticed that Fields 7 and 8 had Netherdrake skins still attached - I believe one was hair and one was for the saddles.

Why bother? It's common sense to swap the 'drakeflyingmount.m2' rather than the 'drake.m2'.

Hey,
i was jsut wondering if you know of a way to stop the new MPQ's overwriting old ones? As once i made a new mount swap my old model changes stopped taking effect.
Any Help would be apreciated

P.S. Thank you for an easy to use guide wanted to make my own edits for ages

P.P.S. New problem, DBC Editor is erroring everytime i make a change to the CreatureDisplayInfo file which means i can't save and then the file errors whenever i try and open it again. has this happened to you? or anyone. if so does anyone have the solution to fix it?

Hi
I've been struggling Hours trying to mount edit Black War Kodo (1914 Kodobeastpvpt2) to Swift Spectral Tiger (2626 spectraltigerepic)
or Even from Hog (ID 2862) to Swift Spectral Tiger. But nothing seems to be working

I notice there are numerous Kodos with same ID number, so I tried switching numbers for every one of them (also individually) and nothing seems to be working.
I also tried putting same values for all fields but still can't get it to work

I am beginning to wonder if I am forgetting something or just have wrong model ID numbers..

Also, i tried looking at the file done from others to compare what I'm doing..
But it seems like I'm on a right track.. just not being able to get it working frustrates me a lot tho..

I'd appreciate if ic an get some help on this topic.. thanks

What I want is the damn ironbounds info so I can change the DK mount to it.

Ever heard of the 'Edit' function? Tbh i should report you for reposting three times.

The version of your WoW won't influence whether or not an edit you're currently making will work. Edits on 3.2.2 do work rofl. You're evidently doing something wrong.

If the mount you're swapping has two skins whilst the one you're swapping it for has 1, leave the second skin of the initial mount the way it was previous to you swapping it.

Edit: You repped me with 0 rep when you can award 2? wtf? why bother?

Nice guide bro. I'll rep (When/If) I can. also.. just another thing to add.
Why do you always threaten to report people? Just acknowledge the fact that some people might not know how to edit posts and tell them how. :P.

[~sInX]

Why do you always threaten to report people?

I'm not... I merely told him that in future if he disobeys simple rules such as 'Edit' then he might eventually come across some douchebag who's willing.

Thanks for the guide! Got it working. Changed my red gryphon to this guy


EDIT: Figured I'd put a link to it in case anyone else would like it.

Gd to know

I can't find the furious gladiator frostwyrm in wowmodelviewer, any idea what to look for? Thanks. Also, +2 rep whenever I get this thing working :P

[~sInX]

I'm pretty sure it's under undeaddrake or undeadridingdrake. Browse through Undead.

[xyzzy]

Found mine in undeadridingdrake

[shojj]

Bahh, I give up, I can't do it, it's way too complicated to me (Or I'm doing something wrong that I can't find out >_<) Anyway, +rep for trying, thanks anyway.

Edit: I didn't find any "undeadridingdrake" only "undeaddrake" and there was some strange models, a drake without seat and one with a seat that's rather white.

Ok I do not know why I get this, But I do get this error: cannot use the object type system.DBNull as system.string

Get it when I try to save the DBC.

Any tip?
