I wanted a chocobo. I found a hawkstrider. I made a chocobo. Nuff said on that.
So...this skinning was a pain.
1. There are two skins in the original model that are used.
2. There was SO much unused extra material on each original that I spent a whole day just trying to figure out what was used and what was wasted space.
If you want to know where to stick the skins; just stick them in the same spots you'd stick original textures. "Chocobo Yellow Body" goes over "hawkstrider", "Chocobo Yellow with Elf" over "dragonhawk", in so far as the Warcraft 3 Viewer.
As for putting them ingame...Maybe someone can tell me. Getting skins to work in this game is torturous.
Anyway, the eyes are from an ostrich, some of the feathers are the same. And if anyone can tell me how to erase the team color under the elf I would get rid of him quite quickly.
The original elf though is still there for now, but seeing as it comes ripped directly from the game, no permission is needed from SinisterX.
