Spirit Hawk and Spirit Bear

[Archian]

Hello Community!

Let's say, that I would like to use the "brown" versions of the Spirit Hawk and Spirit Bear for an Icecrown Glazier map. However, the default texture for those models are "white" when used in an Icecrown Glazier map.

How can I change this?

Thanks in advance!

Extract the brown skin, import it into your map and override the white skin path?

Well, I will still be needing the white version. So, how to use both?

Hm, extract the model, edit it and re-import them: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/3d-modeling-tutorials-282/add-multiple-skins-single-model-262796/

However, if Blizzard chooses to still use the white version, then rename the texture path to anything custom.

What prevents you from just not changing the model in the object editor? It seems like the others are over-complicating things.

I mean just change the polar bear's model to the misha one.

But that's the problem, the Misha one uses the polar bear texture when used in an Icecrown Glazier map. There has to be some value somewhere I can simply change without having to extract the texture and re-import it.

You do use: Units\Creeps\GrizzlyBear\GrizzlyBear.mdx ?

It might be hardcoded.

I see! I did not know misha was one of those models that changed depending on tileset. A simple solution would be to extract mishas original skin and override the polar beat skin by importing the normal skin to the polar bear's path.

No model editing needed.

edit: inb4 I noticed that you needed both versions.

Well, you might could use the druid of the claw bear model as the brown bear if that doesn't really matter.
Also, can you use an animation tag such as alternate or even change the RoC version vs Frozen throne version of a model to force it to use the other?
I do know Icecrown is a TFT tileset. You might could try making the model use the RoC model file, but I'm not sure if that would do anything.
