That was really hard to understand. What happened is u 2 (your mounts) share the same .m2 (model) but not the same .blp (image). Heres what happened in layman's terms, or an analogy:
This is an anlagoy, what u basically did was you took all the dogs (your original mount) in the whole world, and changed them into cats (the mount u wanted). You also changed the skin of YOUR dog, to look like the skin of a cat. What u didnt realize, is even though all the dogs in the world have the bodies of cats, most still have the skin of dogs, except people with your type of dog (your mount).
SO basically, your mount has several different .blps or image files set to one .m2 or model file. The reason is there is multiple colors or variations, for the one model. So what happened was u only changed one of the images (your mount), but not the other color or variations.

Does that make sense?

So i have tried a couple of times to change my lvl 40 60% gray kodo mount to the silithid model. I've tried KodoBeast.m2 and RidingKodo.m2. The KodoBeast changed the kodos in mulgore to silithids. Any idea witch m2 file i need?

Not really, kodos ive always had some problems with. Just keep searching

Blizzard repacked all the .mpqs into common.mpq, so youll have to adapt

Yes, it is moderately difficult to understand your English. Is he talking about lack of M2 files? Check the filter on the bottom left corner of the window.
