Retroported models for some of the mount in the upcoming Dragonflight expansion (plus icons).
Retroported Mounts:
- Lava Slug and Lava Snail
- Wind Hawk
- Primal Dragonfly
- River Otter and Armored River Otter
- Moose Bull
- Kirin
- Water Salamander
- Mammoth and Lava Mammoth
- Primal Tallstrider
- Primal Thunderlizard
- Slyvern (fox wyvern)
- Import the files in an .mpq patch keeping the file paths already in the the compressed file.
- add the models in CreatureModelData.dbc and in CreatureDisplayID.dbc (then add them to your client patch and server)
Some of the models look better by scaling them a little bit in the CreatureDisplayID.dbc, these are the scalings I used:
River Otter (both models): CreatureModelScale = 2
Wind Eagle: CreatureModelScale = 1.1
Moose Bull: CreatureModelScale = 0.7
Primal Dragonfly: CreatureModelScale = 1.5
Primal Thunderlizard: CreatureModelScale = 0.7
Fox Wyvern: CreatureModelScale = 1.3
The Thunderlizard, Tallstrider and Lava Mammoth have some extra customizations with their geosets. You may take a look at them using the model viewer at wow.tools and then flag which ones you like most in the CreatureGeosetData column in the CreatureDisplayID.dbc.
Sadly, no customizeable companion dragons as they are still beyon my level and I doubt I'll be able to do anything with them anytime soon, if ever.
